british-comedian build dropping people preferred since sketches sleeping taking
Other people build sketches after taking too many sleeping pills, but I never preferred that method, since I would keep dropping my pencil.

World War II... did not happen to everyone, but it happened to most. There were people from Germany who were throwing bombs at us.

Health care does not worry me a great deal. I've been impressed by some wonderful old people.
people accepting inevitable
Death can really absorb a person. Lik most people, I would find it pleasant not to have to go, but you just accept that it's more or less inevitable.
animal people silence
You see, I don't belive that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, that has been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians.

I do not really look back with regret on any feelings or problems I have had in the past. I think I am more able to accept problems as being part of the rough and tumble of life. There are bound to be ups and downs. In retrospect, when you've gotten pasty a tough period, it makes the good things that much better.
believe beyond dreams rich takes wildest
If this one takes off, it could make me rich beyond my wildest dreams. And believe me, my dreams are pretty wild!
allowed appalling area drag encourage issue money spent
It was appalling that all this money was being spent in the area on new developments and to encourage tourism, and yet this issue was allowed to drag on.
