CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ladies and gentlemen, our Children

in Need Choir. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done all of you, and we will

hear more from our wonderful choir

later in the evening.

Also coming up

in this BBC Children in Need 2-1,

music from a popular vocal group,

they represented team Tom in the

final of the voice earlier in the

year, Into The Ark. And

Pembrokeshire born Betsy.

Later, we

have a rather special performance

from a man many of you will have

seen last week frantic DIY SOS for

Children in Need and transforming a

project that supports young people

in care in Swansea. Tonight, he

swaps his hard hat for a guitar and

microphone. Nick Knowles is here to

sing specially for us.

We really to

hear that.

And we will look at how the money

raised by Children in Need has been

helping young people across Wales.

World Champion boxer Lee Selby and

actor Richard Mylan and Michael

Sheen, yes, I did say Michael Sheen,

have been to visit some projects,

and meet children that have been

helped over the past year by money

you donated.

It's a packed show.

With no further ado, we ask the

voice of rugby Eddie Butler to do a

quick round-up in his own inimitable

style of some of the ways you have

been raising money for Children in

Need this year.

Already, Mr Bear, then with great

care, get set and go.

Walking the walk, the 14 locks that

step down towards Newport.

Brothers and sisters, mind the

blisters.

Uphill through woodland, windswept

on the Gower at three miles an hour

and softly land upon the sand.

Fund raising, hair raising, inch by

inch, brick by brick, don't look

down, Elaine, it will make you sick.

There, grab yourself a bear, page is

of a bear. Spin of a few calories

and put them back on here. Biking,

baking and bouncing in the zone, all

walking, the bigger the better, the

longer the conga

walking, the bigger the better, the

longer the conga. A game of footy,

to pull on the shirt, to where the

skirt.

The scouts will be out looking for

talent. The go it alone sing along.

Seaside past time, pulling a truck,

good luck.

Andy Powell, that's it, the one in

the golf buggy.

Just as trim, here in the gym, a

sort of stream or strip, let it rip.

And a longer mock, the full lock

must say goodbye to the hair for the

bear. To you and all your madcap

schemes, whatever the themes, thank

you for taking the time, taking the

lead, to do all this for Children in

Need.

Thank you to everyone that has

raised money for Children in Need

this year, and to all of you that

donated. The UK total on Friday

night was a record-breaking

50,000,160.

Amazing, thank you so much. It is

not too late if you would still like

to contribute.

I'm sure many of you will have

watched the incredible DIY SOS, The

Million Pound Build the Children in

Need. This year, the team were given

one of their biggest challenges to

date, to build a centre and

supported housing for young people

in care and leaving care in Swansea.

Look who I have spotted in our

audience, Mr DIY SOS himself, Mr

Nick Knowles. Welcome to Wales.

I am

excited to be here. It is nice to be

back.

We will chat later in a few

moments about what it is you guys

did for the project. But let's have

a reminder of the challenge you and

the team were given.

When we met them and the team at The

Roots Foundation, they were doing

their best to support young people

in care, but their old hut was up to

the job. There was only one thing

for it.

Three... To...

One... . 800

volunteers attempted the impossible

by undertaking the biggest single

bill we've ever done.

And we've only gone and done it. An

epic feat of engineering and design

that will give Emma the potential to

help thousands of children over the

coming years.

It's amazing.

Your new home to do what you need to

do.

My, gosh, it is more than I

thought it would be.

We are so overwhelmed with your

kindness, I am so touched. And on

behalf of the team, we want to tell

you that you are going to make a

huge difference to people's lives.

Nick, what an amazing project.

We

were sitting here thinking how

ridiculous and epic it was, and it

is huge. To do the garden at the

back, we had to move 1500 tonnes of

stone. It was a marsh will stop to

get a garden out there, and the guy

from the local quarry, £280 per

time. He gave us 500 tonnes P. Three

kilometres of wood to make the

building, three kilometres on

cladding for the outside.

Huge. The

people of Swansea came and supported

you.

Extraordinary. 200 people a

day. 600 or 700 in total, swapping

and changing, from Swansea, south

Wales, from all over Wales, and

indeed, from the whole of the UK.

They came from all over to make it

happen. We thought it was an

important project for Emma and her

team. She is amazing, she does

amazing things for young people.

You

are here with Emma from the project,

The Roots Foundation. What does this

project mean to people impacted by

it?

I think it's going to be huge,

actually. The many young people,

they feel isolated, lonely, they

have mental health issues, there's

physical issues for young people. To

have what we think is a team of a

family around them, it will help of

confidence and self-esteem. To know

that so many people came forward,

and it was hundreds of people. We

are still in touch with many people

today, and they come back and forth.

When we watched the broadcast on

Wednesday, they came in and watched

it with us. They are now part of our

family, and it is amazing.

If you

think about 80,000 children are in

care, very often, through no full of

their own. When they come out, they

are dropped. Is it one in four or

something like that which are

homeless? It is ridiculous for the

kids that have been dealt the worst

hand starting in life. We often give

more care rather than less. I will

say, do still need funding to keep

going. And it is amazing work.

We

have a new building, so we need to

find running costs for the building,

and that is important. We want the

legacy to continue, these people

worked so hard on it, they need it

to continue for the foreseeable

future. It is very important.

I know you will continue your

relationship with Children in Need.

Stick around because we are going to

get Nick singing.

We haven't given

her the choice. Otherwise, she would

be up and out of here. She wanted to

be sat next to Charlie Sheen...

Michael Sheen.

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for

Nick Knowles and Emma, and the whole

DIY SOS team who did an exceptional

job for Children in Need this year.

Your donation support a huge variety

of activities across the country.

One project run by South Wales

contemporary circus company

organised chaos is helping young

people from disadvantaged areas. We

asked local boy Michael Sheen to

drop by on a surprise visit to find

out more about the work they are

doing.

I'm outside here in Neath, Port

Talbot, my hometown. Inside there,

there is a brilliant social

enterprise called Organised Chaos.

These are communities that grew up

behind Ironworks, those industries

that have gone away now. But the

communities are still here.

It has

changed a lot.

What happened?

When

you came here six years ago, we

didn't have the lease on the

building, we were only open on a

Friday night. Now we are open five

nights a week, geared towards young

people. The problem we get with

older teenagers is drink and drugs,

and that becomes the natural path.

It is important to create a space

where not only can they come

together, but they can hang out and

join in the classes, volunteer with

us, be part of it. But for us more

than anything, it is an opportunity

to travel and meet other

professionals. It gives them hope.

We see social enterprises like this

giving opportunity to young people,

offering them the opportunity to

come together, work together, they

get a sense of solidarity with each

other. But the confidence they gain

as well, they can take off into

their lives in other ways.

If we

didn't have this, there would be a

lot more teenagers on the streets,

not putting skills they didn't know

they had to good use.

I aim to be more confident around

people and it has helped me with my

co-ordination and with doing things.

I used to be really shy, and I have

been dancing since I was two, and I

hated going on stage. Now, I am

always on stage.

I didn't like talking to anyone, and

now I will just talk to anyone.

Really? And it through doing stuff

here that has helped?

A lot of friends, a lot of skills,

it made me cope a lot more at

school, and it has really helped.

I

love hanging out here, it's great.

Children in Need has given us the

ability to forward plan activities

for the young people. Without

Children in Need, we wouldn't have

that positive outlook for the

future.

There are people like Nicola all

over the country doing incredible

work and giving opportunities to

young people, really changing lives.

There's just so much that makes me

happy, and fills my heart with joy

about coming here and seeing what's

going on. So the support that people

like Nicola get by people like you

giving money to Children in Need is

absolutely so important. So that's

what you're supporting. That's what

you're doing, you're changing lives.

A big thank you to Michael for

taking time out of his busy filming

schedule to visit organised chaos,

and Michael, we love the hair.

Always great to see how your

donations are hoping to support

young people right across Wales, and

you can still give the BBC Children

in Need. This is a quick reminder

how.

We just wanted to say a big

thank you to all of the people that

have donated generally to this

year's Children in Need.

To

thank you!

Now it is time for some or music.

Our next act shop fame back in 2008

when they won the BBC's last choir

standing, and quickly followed it up

with a classical Brit for album of

the year.

The line-up has seen a few

changes since then but they continue

to thrill audiences far and wide.

Just embarked on their annual

Christmas tour, here they are just

for you, only men aloud.

# I have run, I have crawled, and I

have scaled the city walls.

# These city walls, only to be with

you.

# But I still haven't found what I'm

looking for.

# But I still haven't found

what I'm looking for.

# I have kissed her knee lips, felt

the in her fingertips, it burned

like fire.

# It was burning inside her.

# I have spoke with the tongues of

angels, I have hurled the hands of

the devil.

# It was warm in the night.

# It was warm in the night.

# I was cold as a stone

# But I still haven't found

what I'm looking for

# Glory, Glory hallelujah.

# Glory, Glory hallelujah.

# Glory, Glory hallelujah.

# Glory, Glory hallelujah.

# Glory, Glory hallelujah.

# Is truth is marching...

# I believe in the kingdom come.

# I believe in the kingdom come.

# Carried the cross

Of my shame, Of my shame

# You know I believed it.

# You know I believed it.

# But I still haven't found

what I'm looking for

# Glory, Glory hallelujah.

# Glory, Glory hallelujah.

# But I still haven't found

what I'm looking for

APPLAUSE

Absolutely amazing. Only men aloud

with their version of the U2

classic, I still haven't found what

I'm looking for. Thank you so much,

gentlemen, brilliant stuff.

Now,

boxing has many a story to tell

about lives turned around by the

sport. Even boxing legend Muhammad

Ali spoke about how it kept him on

the straight and narrow. We asked

IBF world featherweight champion Li

Selby to visit a project in Port

Talbot, supported by your donations,

to give one young man the surprise

of his life.

Bulldogs is a busy boxing gym at the

heart of the local community in

portal but. -- Port Talbot. Children

in Need supports a scheme at the gym

that helps young people from

disadvantaged backgrounds.

16-year-old Ronan is one young

person who has benefited from your

donations. He has been boxing with

the club for four years, and it has

helped see him through some

difficult times.

I have come to meet

Ronan, by the sounds of things he

has had a similar background to

myself growing up. I am coming down

to surprise him, it will be nice to

meet him. Ronan, do you want to do

some sparring?

Oh, no! No way! I am

good.

Want to do a couple of bags?

Yes.

The funding pays for the use of

the gym, a support worker and

fitness instructor, all to help

young people feel healthier, happier

and less isolated.

Growing up I had

trouble back home, I could say.

How's it going for you?

I haven't

had the best of upbringings, but my

mum put me in this programme. As

long as I felt worried, I was never

left without anything, she would

cook me food, I am my clothes, even

if she was drunk.

To be honest you

are more similar to myself and what

I realised. Growing up, my mum had a

serious drinking problem the years.

One night we were just sitting down

normally watching TV, having a bit

of food, and all of a sudden my

mother went into a massive seizure,

she was just on the floor, fitting.

I had to step up and save her life

then. I saved her life.

It is a lot

for a young lads to go through. I

know when I joined the amateur gym,

it helped me out massively.

When I

came here, it was like, don't know

anyone, everyone just took me under

their wing.

This turnaround has

already seen Ronan have the

confidence to start his own

gardening business.

It has help me

achieve asking for work and finding

an apprenticeship.

With what he has gained, Ronan is

now giving back to his community by

coaching and training a group of

local young boxers.

Very dedicated,

hard-working. A young sort of

entrepreneur. Grown into a lovely

young man who is what the gym is

about. He is a success story.

The

gym benefits from Ronan, always

helping us out with the younger

group, doing pads and everything. He

has been good.

It was great coming

down here tonight and meeting Ronan

and the rest of the kids. The fee

doesn't make a good boxer, he will

make a good trainer. -- if he

doesn't.

So good to see how a

project that your money supports has

really helped Ronan find his feet

and grow in confidence and stop also

come huge thanks to Li Selby for

taking the time to visit Bulldogs in

Port Talbot.

Now, our next musical guests made

their name as finalists in the voice

earlier this year. Representing team

Tom. Local lads from Blackwood, they

have been performing together since

their teens. Here now with their

brand-new single, straight to your

door, please give a big Children in

Need welcome to Into the Arc.

#

I call you sweetheart.

# Because the sun shines where you

are.

# Well, me, I'm just like the dark.

# Because me and the moon both

thought we were stars.

# But they say about me babe, they

are saying about me, babe.

#

# They say about me any more, love's

and expected. -- unexpected.

# So I don't spec queued to care

like before. -- I don't expect you.

# No, I ain't alone. You are deep in

my soul. I'm walking on hope.

# Treated you wrong, baby, must have

been 1000 times.

# This time, I won't hold back, I

can't stand it, how you throw your

love around.

# I was alone, and, girl, you took

my soul, walking on home.

# Home, home, I ain't alone.

# I'll hold my own, straight to your

door, straight to your door.

# Oh, baby, straight to your door,

baby.

# I'll be home, home.

# Oh baby, straight to your door,

baby.

# I'll be home, oh...

# But I ain't alone, you're deep in

my soul.

# Straight to your door, babe.

Straight to your door.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

A big thank you to Into the Ark.

Great stuff, lads, good luck with

the single. Over to Lucy, who has

found a familiar face in the

audience.

It is only rugby legend Gareth

Thomas. Lovely to see you. How are

you doing?

Really well, thank you.

Like many of our audience, I really

enjoyed Alfie Potter is my army.

How big a challenge was it to get a

group of young people fit enough to

run the card of half marathon.

I

thought it was tough with the women,

but taking a group of 17-23 year

old, I didn't have much hair at the

start of it, but at the end I had

much less!

Everyone in life, I feel, deserves

the opportunity of greatness. Some

people don't get a chance for what

ever reason, and I wanted to give

them that opportunity. They were a

bunch of good people, but at the end

of it, were absolutely great people.

We should have a quick reminder of

how everybody got on, let's take a

look.

Remember who you are!

Across the summer, the 17-21

-year-olds have been following a

training programme.

There have been times when they have

stuck to the training plan. They

have been happy and positive, and

all of a sudden, you have a mood

swing and they fight against me.

Even if it is for ten seconds. Try

not to be down on everything.

I

tried. It doesn't work.

I am too

tired. I want to eat.

It has been an

up and down process with them. I

have been really worried.

My back

legs are killing, but I am still

doing it.

Are you going to finish?

Definitely.

They will remember it

for their lives. It has been hard

work.

They did so well. Was it a bigger

challenge than you thought it was

going to be to get everybody over

the line?

There were times when I really

questioned if it was going to be

successful. But as with the whole

process, I stuck to it like my

rugby, I was committed to it. A lot

of them didn't know who they were at

the start of it, and going through

the process, they were figuring out

that. They were figuring out how

good they could be.

And one of your army, Bradley, is

with us. You did brilliantly in the

Cardiff half marathon. What was your

time.

One hour and 49 minutes.

That

is astonishing. Were you proud of

that?

People train most of their

life to achieve that. Absolutely

brilliant. You are part of a group,

a charity from Anglesey that

receives help from Children in Need.

What was it like to run the Cardiff

half as a group?

It was nice to come

together as one big group, like,

because in a homeless hostel, we

didn't do much, like, go out. For

Alfie to come down was enormous.

How

has it help you?

It helped me when

me and my mum were going through

tough times with each other. They

took me on and supported me all

away, helped me get back into

college, helped me get into my

fitness, and healthier eating. And

supported me a hell of a lot.

You

must be so proud.

Unbelievably

proud. This one and all the others,

great.

Brilliant. Thank you so much

for coming in and talking to us.

Thank you so much, Bradley and

Alfie. APPLAUSE

For most children, parents are the

ones who do the caring and looking

after, even if they can sometimes be

a bit annoying. This next film

features a very special young lady

who has had to take on those

responsibilities and a project that

BBC Children in Need supports, which

offers her the chance to spend time

with people her own age.

This is 13-year-old Shri Arne.

I

care for our mum and look after my

sister.

I normally wake up at 6am on a

school day, because my sister takes

a long time to get up. And then I

have to get myself ready. And my

sister ready. And I get breakfast

ready.

Her mum has debilitating

osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia. It

is a long-term condition that causes

pain all over the body, making

everyday tasks impossible to

complete.

She has pain in all her joints. She

gets tired easily.

I know she wants to help, but I can

see she can't help.

Sometimes, I'm worried because she's

too young. But everything is heavy,

like a big responsibility, which she

is doing for me.

Due to her mum's condition, she

takes on most of the household jobs.

And as her mum finds it so difficult

to get about, she even takes on the

weekly food shop.

I think the only time she ever comes

out is when we do clothes shopping,

because, you know, my sister is so

picky with her clothes. But other

than that, my mum stays in the car

and I do most of the shopping. I can

manage most of the time.

Your donations support a project

that's made a huge difference to

her. She gets the much-needed break

she needs thanks to a music project

run by the YMCA in Swansea. This is

her time to relax, have fun and hang

out with her friends.

The music studio, it is important to

me, because I can use instruments

and create music with other people.

Kind of like a band, and I enjoy

being there with my friends. It's

quite a lot of fun.

Children in Need funding is really

important for recording industry

give. It provides young people with

an opportunity to come here, and

members of staff can support them to

learn different music instruments,

to work on their Lindrick abiding

skills, and put get an album, if

that's what they want to do.

It is like a big family, because we

understand each other, and it is

nice to talk to someone that has the

same job as you. It helps your

confidence, and makes you feel

better.

Your donations to BBC Children in

Need really help young people all

over Wales. And it's not too late to

help.

Thank you.

Now, at the beginning of the show,

we promised you a rare musical

treat. Yes, the man who has been the

face of DIY SOS since it began 13

years ago is here with his band and

he's going to sing for us right now,

so please give it up for Mr Nick

Knowles. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Nick Knowles with the Robert Palmer

classic there. That went well, did

you enjoy it?

It was really nice. I

felt nervous about doing live

performances like that. I have spent

the last 35 years playing privately

with my brother on base guitar.

People that know me know that is

what I do, the rest of the world

didn't. I was still nervous, but I

enjoyed it.

We are into it. Thank

you for sharing that. The album is

out, too. Thank you for being with

us this evening and for being a huge

supporter of Children in Need. Nick

Knowles, everybody.

Thank you.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Now, earlier this year, you may have

seen a BBC film about Welsh actor

Richard Mylan and his autistic son,

so it was a quick yes when we asked

Richard if you want to do visit a

project in Wrexham that supports

children and young people on the

autistic spectrum.

What are you worried about?

Worried

about the flies and butterflies, and

ladybirds, and bees.

It is a lot to

worry about, isn't it.

Earlier this year, my son and I made

a documentary about the joys and

difficulties of being a dad, caring

for an autistic son.

That is a bike.

His orders means his brain is why

different you to other people. He

can struggle with language and

social interaction. Today, I'm

heading to Wrexham, to meet another

young autistic person, 12-year-old

Millie, and her mum Alison.

When she

was four and a half, we knew there

was something, because at home it

was quite challenging.

She was referred to the

paediatrician before her fifth

birthday. They did an assessment in

the hospital, and the next day, I

had a phone call to go in, and she

was diagnosed with autism.

We felt absolutely devastated. It

was a pretty hard time.

Millie and Alison have invited me to

Your Space, a charity making a big

difference to their lives. It is an

opportunity to grab a chat with

Millie's mum, about how challenging

things have been, especially in the

early days.

How was Millie's School of?

Her

school life was pretty bad. What

ever happened during a school day,

she would come home and recreate it

at home.

Did it impact on family

life?

Dreadfully. What we were doing

wasn't working. The house would be

trashed, sofas upended. You had to

see it to believe it, the physical

strength as a child she had when she

had a knock-down.

The creative

downtime, was she into any of that,

drawing or art?

Millie wouldn't even

sit down to eat. She would

constantly be on the go. Really

struggle to have calmed time. I

don't think she has ever watched a

DVD or film.

One of the sessions that Millie has

responded really well too is the

expressive art sessions, sessions

funded by your Children in Need

donations.

The session today includes

mask-making and Millie has a

surprise for me. Is that me? Can I

wear this for the rest of the

interview? LAUGHTER

I love that, can I take that with

me?

Guess.

And do you do drama

sometimes?

Yes, we do do drama

sometimes.

Football manager role

play.

Acting, right up my street. If

we are going to win this league, I

don't know if I have it in me, I

think I might have to go and play

for Accrington Stanley.

You're

fired!

OK. This place is brilliant,

what kind of impact as it had?

A

huge impact, it is created,

something different on every table,

and they can do whatever they want

to do. If they want to sit down and

chill out, they can do that. She can

sit down and colour and raw. She

will colour flowers and that is

something she has never been able to

do.

It is great she has learned

that.

It has changed her a lot.

They

are learning how to follow and

instruction, grateful concentration

that it is the softer outcomes we

are more inches to Dean, friendships

forming, and the fact they are

sitting together and engaging with

somebody. Some children that have

come to the session would never

speak and now you can't stop them.

That is just amazing to see.

All too

soon, it was time for me to say

goodbye to the gang and head back to

Jaco. Give me a high five, can I

have a high five off you? By

everyone, bye-bye. What a great

place. They are doing fantastic work

there, and it is not too late to

donate, so get donating now. Help

causes just like this. Fantastic.

Now, some more music was our next

special guest released her debut

album at the end of September and is

about to embark on a UK tour. She

was brought up on a cruise farm in

Devon, Pembrokeshire, and has

modelled for some of the world's

biggest fashion houses. -- in Nevin.

Now we are almost at the end of our

Children in Need big Welsh show, but

before we go, we have one last treat

for you. Every year, a highlight of

the Friday night appeal show is when

children's wires from around the UK

join together to sing a special

arrangement of a classic song. In

Wales, the choir was created from

three schools in Cardiff and

available Glamorgan we asked a

choral wizard to help them prepare

for their big night and here is a

quick look at Tim putting them

through their paces.

All these

choirs have been working with

amazing teachers and are already

sounding fantastic. I am dropping in

for a lesson and to give them a few

tips the big night. First stop, Fitz

Alan high school in Cardiff.

Hello. Can you spread out, please,

so there is as much room as

possible? As well as rehearsing this

song it is important to do a proper

warm up and to remember that singing

together is about having fun. Just

take one hand and shake.

Whitchurch primary school and a

choir made up of 42 children from

year six. This is all about us

working together as a team, it is

about trying to be as good as we can

and trying to free up our bodies.

Your all out! LAUGHTER

And the final stop, Cowbridge.

# : the chain, Paul McShane!

The song that they choir is singing

is one of my very own favourites,

and the wonderful BBC National of

Wales have recorded the backing

track for the whole of the UK to

sing along to. With just one week to

go before the big show, all of the

hard work is starting to pay off.

And there is one final surprise in

store for the choir at Fitz Alan

when Sophie Evans drops in to hear

them sing. She played Dorothy in the

West End production of the Wizard of

Oz.

Hello, how are you all? Good?

New sound beautiful, are you

enjoying it? I only little note

would be to make sure you smile,

because when you smile, a different

sound comes out.

A lovely energy,

they really want to get it right,

and I think they are going to be

great. Our three Welsh choirs have

worked so hard, and I can't wait to

hear them singing with the rest of

the UK, flying the flag for Wales on

Children in Need night.

# Someday I'll wish upon a star and

wake up where the clouds are far

behind me.

I felt so much energy and enthusiasm

coming off me.

I am so nervous, it

is unbelievable!

Brilliant, brilliant.

Here they are, all 110 of them. I

think they deserve a big round of

applause! APPLAUSE

You all did brilliantly on Friday

night. In fact, you were so good, we

thought we should ask you to sing

this year's song again just for us

will stop does that sound like a

good idea? CHEERING

I think they think it sounds like a

good idea.

Yes, now to bring our big

Welsh show to a close this year,

singing Over The Rainbow, our BBC

Children in Need Choir. From all of

us here in Cardiff,

good night!

# Somewhere Over The Rainbow, way up

high.

# There's a land that I had heard of

once in a lullaby.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow,

Somewhere Over The Rainbow, skies

Somewhere Over The Rainbow, skies

are blue, and the dreams that you

dare to dream maybe do come true.

# Someday I'll wish upon a star.

# Someday I'll wish upon a star.

# Wake up where

the clouds are far behind me

# Where trouble melts

like lemon drops

# High above the chimney top,

That's where you'll find me

# Oh, somewhere over

the rainbow bluebirds fly

# Birds fly Over The Rainbow, why,

oh why, can't I?

SINGING IN WELSH.

SINGING IN WELSH.

# Somewhere over the

rainbow, blue birds fly

# Birds fly Over The Rainbow, why,

oh why can't I?

# If happy little bluebirds fly

beyond the rainbow, why, oh why

can't I?
