The Oh, they came.

I'm thrilled, your hair, it's not empty.

So, hello, thank you for coming.

I wondered if maybe to start to warm warm things up you'd like to turn to the person next to you and give them a big hook.

No, no, I'm only kidding.

I thought what we could do actually this one at a time if you stand up and maybe give us a fact about your...

He's doing it.

Yeah.

Thank you for coming.

It's been a while, hasn't it, since we did one of these.

How long do you think?

Two years, three years, four years.

I have to say I am aware of the physical decline

in the years since you last saw me, so I just wanted to acknowledge that if you were thinking I was thinking you know

that bit in willy wonka's chocolate factory where he comes out and he's kind of feigning being this old frail man and then he starts doing summer salts.

It's like that but without the summer salts.

It's not been kind to me these past few years.

So here we are 300 episodes.

Can't believe it. And you know what? We started, I think it was the early, late summer

early autumn of 2017, wasn't it? And if you had said to me all those years ago that we would be here all this

time later, talking to you people in a room like this in Shortage, I would have been disappointed
