Hello Gary. Hello Guy. Welcome back. Welcome to 2026.

Oh my God, yes. A year, I think it's year six of Rockontes. Is it? And how was yours?

Your holiday period?

It was rubbish.

I was plagued by illness and stuff.

So there was some nice family bits.

Yes, obviously.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it was all good.

All good.

Lots of food, lots of family and all of that.
