'I genuinely believe that. I don’t think anyone has ever known as much as Kevin. He went about ten years without getting a sing le question wrong on history, for example, and he went about 15 years without losing a 選び出す／独身 history 一連の会議、交渉／完成する.?

'So if I did go 長，率いる-to-長，率いる with him I’d choose Food & Drink because the famous thing about Kevin is that he’s got so many 調書をとる／予約するs he 蓄える／店s them in his oven and therefore doesn’t do much cooking. His only 証拠不十分 is Food & Drink!'
