Drivers were put through their paces in Oxford this week in the first of six rounds of The Times - Lease Plan Company Car Driver of the Year competition. The standards were high and David Gaskell only won by a nose. (BNC-B)

The winner, ridden by Cash Asmussen, was held up at the back of the field and, after taking the lead inside the final furlong, held on to win by a nose from Starmaniac in the 61/2 - furlong race. Apple Musashi raced prominently until tiring in the final stages. (BNC-B)

Pujols, Mueller win batting crowns by a nose - Albert Pujols won his first NL batting title Sunday, beating Todd Helton in the closest race in league history, and Bill Mueller edged teammate Manny Ramirez and Derek Jeter for the AL crown. (WebCorp)

He says his gait was like that of a roe, starting hither and thither, not staying, not stopping; he was brain-sick. One man said his feet and eyes were in constant motion. (BNC-B)

Princess (at the Croydon Warehouse) must win the booby prize, clumsily confounding a few bogus circus tricks with the fall of Communism and life of Leonid Brezhnev’s spoilt daughter Galina in her brainsick old age. (BNC-B)

I’ve never had much to do with village life, but I believe one has to be very careful, she explained; and we don’t want to set the place by the ears the moment we’ve arrived. We There’s the front-door bell.

Serbia may some day set Europe by the ears and bring about a universal conflict on the continent. I cannot tell you how exasperated people are getting here at the continual worry that little country causes Austria under encouragement from Russia

But the last great de Chavigny collections had been designed by Vlaçek in the late 1920s. Edouard longed for a new collection, for revolutionary designs that would set competitors like Cartier by the ears; designs that would reflect the post-war world and which would use to the full the latest technology.

Slowly but surely, Sussex are also assembling the requisite ingredients. Peter Moores impresses more with bat and gloves every time I clap eyes on him.

Westminster . Chief Justice Fortescue believes that we have spent enough public money and time in the pursuit of what he calls will-o'-the-wisps. He wants us to account for our stewardship. But before I clap eyes on his miserable face, I intend to down as many cups of sack as I can!

Sisters don’t have that Things-Were-Just-Getting-Interesting look. What look’s that? You know - sort of bedroom eyes. Bee-stung lips? Lots of those. And sort of moving about inside her dress as though her bra was suddenly too tight. She could have been putting it on. (BNC-B)

Modelling is a multi-million-pound industry and something of a meat market. Ashton and others are in the business of selling bits of bootiful young women long legs, bedroom eyes, immaculate breasts, perfect bottoms and succulent visual slices of superb lips, hands and feet to anybody who will pay.

You’re trying for something that’s funky, something that sounds good, and you just grab whatever comes to hand.

The property is completed some time before completion of the sale, have received the standard notice of insurance cover to hand over, in which case you will give an undertaking to do so as soon as it comes to hand.

Research shows that as many as a third of all break-ins happen after entry has been gained through glass - often simply smashed with the nearest thing that comes to hand. GE Plastics has introduced a strong new alternative to glass for home use.

Then he climbed into the Land Rover beside his two passengers and drove off fast, with the aim of abandoning Jamie to the custody of his aunt as quickly as possible. He could see with half an eye that the kid’s aunt was going to be one of the confident, bossy, well-connected women.

I don’t think anyone but me was taking notes at this stage of the proceedings. Of course Madame keeping an eye on O was nothing new. She always had half an eye for him; sometimes I thought she watched him as a tamer does a tiger.

So when the class reassembled, Matilda went to her desk and began to study a text-book on geometry which Miss Honey had given her. The teacher kept half an eye on her all the time and noticed that the child very soon became deeply absorbed in the book.

He made an equally fine job of the creatures, large and small that run around on the land; He even gave us the best crags in the world. So why did he make such a pig’s ear of the climate?

Helping him hire an assassin isn’t what I had in mind. Chant was very discreet. Death makes you that way, I find you really have made a pig’s ear of the whole thing.

She hoped, for the sake of appearance at the wedding, that the children’s clothes would be properly cut and fitted, she also hoped that between them Cynthia and her dressmaker would have made a pig’s ear of the business.

zavěšeni do sebe

All around me there were young couples, arm in arm, doing the same.

The streets were crowded with evening strollers. Young couples, arm in arm.

Based on a painting by an early-80s Berlin Realist, it depicts enigmatically two adolescent girls standing arm in arm, geared out with shades and boogie box and dressed in clothes which accentuate their stockily sensual bodies.

His actions are never excessive, he can sleep with a good conscience, he has purpose and never throws in his hand in adversity.

The only point the press reports missed was that Jim Prior was so unhappy that he almost threw in his hand and resigned.

His father died and he threw in his hand to set up as a GP in Falmouth . Any idea of the reason? A quirk of temperament apparently. Didn’t like hospital work - couldn’t stand colleagues - any colleagues; he’s a loner.

I hope you will want to take time and make your own discoveries. As I was helped in getting my eye in by visiting two important houses in Bath, you may wish to do the same. (BNC-B)

This sequence is typical of what can be done in such surroundings once you have got your eye in and have begun to link your shots together visually or by association of ideas. It is certainly more fun to shoot video this way than to take unrelated pot-shots.  (BNC-B)

ztratit hlavu, zpanikařit

If you promise not to tell anyone, Margaret said, when she finally got to see a doctor, I nearly had it done the old way, you know, with a knitting needle, then I lost my nerve.

In the middle of my glacier I lost my nerve. Real and imagined depths were lurking under the probing axe, and twice I broke through a crust with boot and ferrule. I knew I was courting disaster without a rope.

She tried to pull herself together, but it was impossible. Her voice trembled. Suddenly I’ve lost my nerve. Dawn’s dog dying, now this Labrador who means so much to a handicapped child.

For a sickening moment he swung wildly on the rope and one of his feet slipped a few inches down the wall. Grant’s heart leapt into his mouth and he was convinced Larsen was going to lose his nerve, then his grip on the rope, to plummet down to an unthinkable death.

At the Royal Ballet, whose dressing rooms they will be using, mention of the Russians touches a raw nerve. It’s difficult for us to understand why everybody wants to talk about the Russians all the time, says ballerina Fiona Chadwick. Ballet isn’t only Russian.

Rhee issued a press statement raising publicly whether South Korea could rely on American assistance in the event of North Korean aggression. This touched a raw nerve and Muccio was instructed immediately to see Rhee and protest at this grave breach of ordinary diplomatic courtesy.

It’s none of your damned business! she snapped half-heartedly, yet his words struck a raw nerve and she almost winced in pain, because Ryan had only been ardent at first; after that, it had been she who had made the advances.

But it was mostly the other thing, that he’d had to sweat all his life and she’d never done a hand’s turn. She rose up in the world without lifting a finger when she married into the gentry.

Useless, she had jeered, like all spoiled rich girls. Never done a hand’s turn in her life, and wouldn’t know how!

That would be wicked! I mean, she’s never done a hand’s turn for her father or her grandfather.

Dane O'Hara probably still wakes up at night and sees Ferguson oscillating in front of him. The Hull man appeared to have the angles covered when Ferguson rocked back on his heels to accept Ian Potter’s pass, but despite a standing start and only inches in which to operate, Fergie whisked past on the outside.

Or perhaps he was waiting for them to start counting their blessings there and then. He rocked back on his heels and steadied himself.

But you should always remember one thing. It’s people that you’re dealing with. People. He thrust both hands in his pockets and rocked back on his heels. I’m sixty-nine and I’m still working.
