So last week obviously we announced this very exciting thing. Tony's coming on Meal Emilia. Oh yeah brilliant. A fly back from Canada. Rush through my trip to get back and do the final preparations for this amazing adventure we're going to go on.

0:50.0

We're just missing a couple of bits of documents for your code driver. We need his driver's license and he needs to fill out the medical forms.

0:58.0

This is me. That's Tony by the way, the code driver. Tony, if you've got your driver's license you've got the medical form ready. Don't worry about me. I've got medical's booked in for next week. Here's my license. Look at the license.

1:09.0

This is a couple of weeks ago by the expired 22nd of March. Yeah. I'm like go hmm, tie up. Not too sure they're going to like the expired license. Don't worry son, got this. I've sent it off. A new one's coming.

1:24.0

So I said a Meal Emilia. Okay guys, like just do you mind if we send this through in a little bit of time? Like we're just waiting for a few documents. They're going okay, but do you need to hurry up?

1:35.0

So I get a little bit anxious. So I land from Canada, jet lag does hell. Tony, if you've got that stuff, get in the medical down in the morning. Haven't got the license back yet. No, so well, God.

1:47.0

Then you take me saying, I want to check the post got something for the DVLA. And it turned out that you'd sent the wrong form backs or you hadn't completed the renewal form correctly.

1:58.0

Okay, so I am, despite you guys may think I am stupid. In a word like yes, I don't read forms. Basically, I need no, actually, you know what? I'm going to back you up. You're not stupid, but you sometimes lack attention to decent detail and some common sense.

2:19.0

No, no, no, I've got loads of comments general knowledge. No, no, no, general knowledge is good. You can't get on any of them. So I've got plenty of common sense. It's probably one of my full tastes common sense. But I can't read. And I don't read because I've got no attention to detail. I'm not interested.

2:35.0

As in, if someone gives me a piece of paper, I'll look at it. I'll look at the words that I can read. And I'll kind of make out whatever I can make out. If I've got a really sit and read a contract, I get someone else to do it because I'm not doing it.

2:47.0

You're in trouble. Basically, I need a PA. So, so anyway, I've, I've not followed instructions quite correctly. And being that you, this is partly your fault, by the way. How is this? No, no, no, no, because you've known me for like this is year seven or six years you've known me.

3:03.0

And you know me now, by now, you should have held my hand, mate. So this is partly your fault because you should have said, like Tony's is thicker shit.

3:11.0

So he never went to school. So, okay, you know, he's got to earn some money and he knows some stuff. But, but paperwork, I am clueless, mate. I don't do it. I'm not interested.

3:23.0

Can I just say, though, when I text you saying, turn your licenses expired. You went, you went, don't I, mate? Or when you sent off a new one?

3:31.0

Yeah. So I was like, okay, this is a guy who works in the motor trade. He's usually ahead of the game. I was already surprised that you sent me an expired license and hadn't said anything.

3:40.0

I was like, okay, so clearly he's already a place is taking a while to come through. I shouldn't be worried. Little did I know.

3:47.0

Mr, I know everything about the motor trade. I've got to teach me to suck eggs. I need to because the man who's worked on the motor trade whose whole life doesn't know how to renew his own license.
