Meeting Transcript
I would like to bring it over to them. Um next we have a precipitation on the best of contact and that's the four things. And then I think that's a good one. So what I think I can cut the time and speaker, I will remind you that you will have three minutes and it will call you in the order and work you sound up in mind when you come to the microphone with the no button, the bad light will be around the microphone. And then you do look forward to make people something that we've always got in the back. So I can't even think about that. And if you want to use that, I'll do it. Now I don't want to say that we can know that we want to automate the place. Thank you. I want to speak about this. And you know, if you could do that. I'm not going to do that. Well, I've got the goals and baseball board and um just too much to really profitable. So probably not the best effect. And everyone for me to be the people that are um the people who are like probably are not going to have a condition back to all that. Um Um I do anything. Um, you can support me to get the bug again all today. Why can't you tell you? I think it's totally full of three people at the moment. It's not a community. Nothing we look at. Why are you going to pay the distribution to the store conference and conference? What is that? I walk a lot to find you asking and easy to talk about the one you go by. We can make them use them, we can go through weight, we can claim some people usually don't be like a way to not represent the data and something. If you really believe that you get one that it's two, you shouldn't find because it's probably uh people up top of the five things. Um you can just take the while people are saying uh what you do. Um you can just avoid them. Also the key to sign people to avoid fly enforcement, like they want these colours that's why for the data, but now we're telling people to avoid that. Like they want these towers as law enforcement aids, but now we're telling people to avoid them if you don't want them to see it. Um there are animals that are run by people's homes and where they work, so I don't know how they're supposed to avoid them. Um very small community, but basically what you think is only your head and that is asked that while we although it may appear to some of you that we are the minority about bought numbers, the majority of this company has the government concerns about that. Um we uh wondering why the investment has been report to see them. We want to know um many officers that you can see up and find them together, so why uh we might take a look into that for uh look into that. It's not uh please please recall for investigation um the building to it to be covered very quickly. Um recommendations to reject that allow the development. I think it's a command. Okay, I'll now open that for things happening now. Once we get this back, then we'll be able to buy nothing that we can do. But we will have that before in the ball. That seems to be the biggest one. I think that's the
