It's just nice to be invited to the party. We're having a great time.
money
We've all got to get away from this idea that the big money's still around.
arguing consumers create effective either exempt healthy legal media protect sector services
We are not arguing that new 'on-demand' services should be exempt from legal standards. But this is not the most effective way either to protect consumers or to create a healthy media sector in Europe.

The only woman I have played in my career was my wife and I beat her easily! But she wasn't much good.

Look at the last 10 years. The standard is now so high across the board.

I won't be satisfied unless I leave here with the trophy.

I won it for my two boys tonight,
black missing pot thinking
I was thinking about going home. I thought Stuart would pot that black all day long. Missing it was a godsend for me and I made the most of it.

My personal feeling is it's a great improvement to that corner.
apparently british captain fine passengers perfectly reason reasonable safety taken thinking
I thought we were fine but apparently it was one British holidaymaker who complained to the crew. That was the reason why the captain thought we should be taken off the flight. It's perfectly reasonable for him to be thinking about the safety of his passengers but I couldn't see any problem.
defeat felt game mind state
It had nothing to do with Graeme. It was just the way I played, the way I approached the game and the state of mind I was in. I have never felt as down after that defeat as I did then.
