*at this point everyone else pipes up and we end up with some good banter.

Michelle: “the first time I met him, he didn’t say a word, he made it really awkward. We spent a whole couple of hours together with a really one-sided conversation and I was dreading starting to work with him. But since we’ve started working together, he’s barely shut up!“

Riddick: “I’m going to be a billionaire by the time I’m 30. *the room erupted with laughter and everyone was suggesting which currencies he could be a bilionaire in – Malaysian Ringit (£194,200,000), Kenyan Shillings (£7,840,000), Dollars, Sterling, Tanzanian Shillings (£354,400). Still not sure which currency he means but best of luck to him.“
