I don't think this is I'd.

I think that's fine. Every job's got to have a
little bit of a perk, and if he's working the
easy seriously, it's not causing any harm or any he's
just started seeing everything, so I don't say a problem
with it at all. I think it's just someone nicks some argue.

not hurting anybody. I say, ghosts for it and enjoy

you do get the job made, just remember your mates

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Leading from the front, you'd be leading from all sides.
