emotional brain scratches
I damaged all the complicated bits of the brain to do with processing and emotional control. I was prey to every single emotion that swept over me and I couldn't deal with it. I had to re-learn things from scratch.
memories brain injury
I had post-traumatic amnesia, five-second memory, it happens as a result of brain injury.

No action hero is more closely associated with cars than James Bond.

I've been in a car three or four times when it filled with water and it's not a comfortable feeling.

Watching Life on Mars was quite frightening for me because dipping in and out of reality was quite like myself
running mad trying
I run a lot. I have this five-mile run that I try and do a few times a week. If I do more, I get shin splints and it drives me mad, so I have to balance it.
fans audi bigs
If I can be cruel; I'm not a big fan of the Audi R8, actually.
sports jobs mean
It's not just the kid who's spent every penny from his job to upgrade his car to tell the world he cares about sports cars, it's also the person driving around in a fuel-conscious hybrid electric car, because it's more a message to the world than an effective means of saving fuel, to be quite honest.
ducks lovely goats
And I like pygmy goats, because they're just lovely, and ducks.

Unless I have been sorely misinformed, supermodels are powerless to resist a man with illuminated doorsills.
