Uh, The Greatest Stage. Great Stage Cancelled when we were a few times. Um, before and I don't think it's going to

39:42 be on tomorrow cuz I'm sure that Dean Stainsby said, "I'll still be on the ship till Yeah, but that he might just be on the ship, but he might not be before." So, I don't know if they're on tomorrow, but And then we went in after that went in Anderson's bar and had a drink. And while we're sitting there in

There was a we could see water coming from Yeah. loads of water coming flying over and there was uh three or four kids of different

41:32 ages and they're literally trying to so we've splashed the water over and we've heard people saying they've been sitting on the balcony before and they get wet. Where's that coming from? Well, you can see why and they were deliberately doing it. Were pushing the water so it went over the So if you're sitting there

41:51 sitting in the balcony, you were not wet. Definitely. Yeah. So that weren't very good, wasn't it? So we were mowing actually, weren't we? We had a little moan to ourselves. Little moans.
