I wish that restaurateurs would choose simpler and smaller glassware.

I was shocked when they told me congratulations, you won, that's the good news. Then the bad news is that you have six battles next week. That was a bit of a shocker. I was exhausted.

I scrambled the jets, took off and we bombed our target. I think it's gone well.
