catching cup good paper piece throw
If I see a spider in the flat, I try to get a cup and a piece of paper and throw it out of the window. I can't kill them because they're good for catching flies.
tea want cups
If I was making a tea advert, I would want to communicate about tea is that it can console you, it can start your day, there is the warmth and the ritual, and you can share it; you make someone a cup of tea and you offer it to them.

We're focusing on what our program is going to be rather than what it was.

I'm awful at karaoke, but if I did have to sing, I'd go for my favourite Frank Sinatra song 'I've Got You Under My Skin.' The fact I love Frank is my grandfather's doing: he drummed it into me from a very early age that Frank Sinatra is God.
fortunate frank hard mean nature rewarded ways work
It's hard work, 'Doctor Who,' but let's be frank about it, I'm fortunate to be rewarded in the ways that I am. I don't just mean financially, I mean the nature of the part and everything that comes with it.

Police boxes, tweed blazers and bow ties feel quite English, but I think that is one of his virtues, one of the strengths of 'Doctor Who.'

Senator Coats and Congress were very careful to craft a law that was constitutionally sound while at the same time effectively addressed American family concerns about the distribution of commercial pornography on the Internet.

So many more people recognise you and want to take up a moment of your time for a photo or a hello. You try to deal with it with grace and a degree of humour, because what's the alternative?

Overnight ratings are dead. It's just not the way TV is sold any more.
across beat difficult entire field great hard life mountain played team work
We played very well to beat a team like Mountain View. They work hard across the entire field and can make life difficult during the game. But it's really great when you can get a shutout in a championship game.
cameras capability cutting edge extremely superior three video worth
We've had cameras before, but this is three cameras in one and as cutting edge as you can get. It will give us as much as a month's worth of video images. It has superior day-night technology, pan-tilt and zoom capability and will give us an extremely high-quality image.
