felt few reminded though
I just felt as though I wasn't going to miss. It just reminded me of how I used to play a few years ago.
coming east far players top trying
With some other top players I'm part of a company trying to put on events in Europe, especially Germany, but also Poland, Austria, Russia. There's so much talent coming out of the Far East now, and we want the same thing in Europe.
bad both few maybe mistakes norm seems
Both of us made a few bad mistakes but that seems to be the norm when we play, ... Maybe that's because of nerves.
buses few player until
I didn't make a 147 until few years ago - I just wasn't the sort of player who went for them. But it's like buses I suppose, one comes along and then a few more follow.
money surprised
I'd be surprised if I got my money back.
bottle grew music wish
I grew up walking out with no music. I wish I had the bottle to dance on but I can't dance.

I have always respected Coach Martin and would work for him wherever he was. The community and teachers have also been excellent.
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.
beat career good played
The only woman I have played in my career was my wife and I beat her easily! But she wasn't much good.
ball evidence jail knew miss people single sure table until
People have been to jail when they're innocent. I knew I would never miss a single ball on a snooker table on purpose and, until then, I was sure the evidence would support me.
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.
commission france frustrated reason
I think that is part of the reason why the commission has become frustrated with France and Germany's pleas that they shouldn't be aggressively tightening in this downturn.
might returned since worried
I was worried when I returned that I might be booed or barracked. Nobody has waved fivers at me. I am touched by the reception since I have come back.
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.
