Paula: Did you see the launch?

Italian CEO: "Yes, it was very very impressive. What about you?"

Paula: "All going well here."

Italian CEO: "Good".

Thanks for the coverage Chris.

Sure thing. Because we have great launch coverage people like Steven and Ron - and given I'm on a slightly delayed connection with NTV coverage - I don't get to cover many launches like this. So it was a lot of fun, and a successful launch is always great :)

Thanks to Nick for helping out too.

No problem. Sorry I couldn't hold out until S/C sep, it was 5AM and that smooth jazz just put me under... ;)
