Todd: Ruth, what is something that you are afraid of? Like snakes, spiders, rats?

Ruth: Probably sharks.

Todd: Sharks.

Ruth: I know that sounds quite irrational, especially when I don't live near the sea but just the thought of being eaten by a shark. It's horrific. I really, really am frightened of sharks.

Todd: Have you ever seen a shark?

Ruth: No.

Todd: No?

Ruth: Thankfully.

Todd: Yeah.

Ruth: I think I'd run a mile.

Todd: I don't know really what I'm afraid of, I guess I don't like heights too much. Yeah, so I have to admit that when I'm on a plane I get kind of freaked out when I fly, yeah. You think, & quot;How is this thing staying in the air? & quot;, you know.

Ruth: You're always happy to land.

Todd: Yeah. Always, always, very happy to land and often when I go home I have to fly across the Pacific and there's no land so you look out your window and you think, & quot;Ah, if something goes wrong with the plane we can't land anymore but that's very irrational because most accidents I think happen over mountains so. I think so.

Ruth: Although if you landed in the sea, then there might be sharks.

Todd: That's true. How do you feel when you fly?

Ruth: I quite like flying actually. I quite like it. I mean I'm quite used to flying. I've flown to a lot of places. If it's a long haulflight, I guess it's a bit boring but I like the handheld computer you get to play with.

Todd: Yeah, those are nice.

Ruth: They're good.

Todd: Now, you're a vegetarian so what's the food like?

Ruth: Oh, well the last time I flew I didn't get any vegetarian food. I think I forgot to tell them so I had to eat the chicken, whatever.

Todd: Really, you actually ate the chicken?

Ruth: No, I didn't eat it. I didn't eat it. I just had it in front of me.

Todd: Yeah, I heard that the vegetarian meal are actually better than the chicken or beef meal.

Ruth: Really? They're quite good, I mean when I've had then in the past they've been quite good.

Todd: Well, here's to not seeing any sharks in the future.

Ruth: Absolutely.
