Hello, Chassis, Chassis, aka the chief clapham.

It's Archie Curzon here, aka the chief channel for say, aka the CEO, Clapham.

A little bit different this week.

The rig biz is without Freddie Claude.

Freddie is, I think, somewhere playing hockey or throwing a frisbee.

So unfortunately you can't be with us today, but that is okay.

I have done a lot of things in my life by my own.

I did my Duke of Edinburgh by myself.

I lived until my daughter turned up alone for several years and I actually really enjoyed

the quietness and the solitude of that.

And I conduct business meetings regularly on my own.

So a podcast doesn't seem that much of a problem.

Luckily, I've roped in a very good friend this week to join me as my guest.

He's someone I look up to, a mentor and someone that I enjoy spending a lot of time with.

So I thought, you know, if I'm by myself, let's not get someone in who I've never met.

Let's get someone in I'm familiar with. We can have a bit of banter. And let's see where this goes.

So please welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Mel Dean.

Yeah, there'll be some,

I think that what they'll do is they'll have a bad, yeah, fireworks, everything like that. Yeah. We're just, we need to make a note to the editor. We have some fireworks and maybe some of Mel Dean's best clips. Bunting, bunting as well. Yeah, bunting on the top and then maybe some of you when you played rugby.

Anyway, Mel, I've got it here,

Mel, O'Reilly, Richard D. Archie, good to see you. It is wonderful for you to join me today. I've got a, it's a blank piece of paper. But I always feel good when I have a paper with me. and what I thought this podcast would be, we're going to kind of rebrand it a little bit.

It's going to be called... I always feel good when I have a paper with me. And what I thought this podcast would be,
