Betrayed by giant.
Answers your flight.
A 15-year rest
period
before
coughing up. Ran
aground. How a comedy
ended up. 'Hands in
partnership.' A single
cry. There was an
undercurrent.

Golden hand
shake. Cynical
ploy/brave
plot. Art on
screen. 'Hand
of friendship.'
Intolerance of
political
activity. The

Big tent policies. Why I
threw up. Athletics is facing
a worrying growth in
number. Signs up a new recuit.
Defiant deputy raises leadership
spectre. 'He's clearly recovered
very, very well.' 'It's strange,
given the history, to come and
do this.' Needed no lectures
on the dangerous.

Through the key
hole, upsetting the
applecart. Bad for
England. 'Where do I
sleep?' Kept by
doctors without their
knowledge. Innoculated.
Slash the odds on surviving
to lead. Pass power to hand-
picked minister. The woes of the
supermarket. The party
is abuzz.

Refuses to 'sell
her soul to the
devil.' Famous Britons'
dying wishes revealed
online. 'This is not
your subject.' Executrix.
Some people find him
less than memorable.
Millions exploiting

'You can't organise
a row.' 'Ignorance is
ignorance; no right to believe
anything can be
derived from it.' A
new world. Disaster,
disaster. Funded by
a slave trader. Much to offer
the market. 'I had thought,
frankly, that it could
be improved on.'

How I wish it had been
worse. Joy in Jamacia as
England drubs an
audience. Over and out.
Expected to coast to a
third term. Didn't. Fat man
stops singing. 'The public
may never trust us again.'
Not so retiring. Ally and sink.
Suspects are linked.

This roaring city has been hushed.
Third tunnel found. Bare-
knuckle fights caught on camera
for our benefit. Mine tracks
the base rate. Recommend this
to a friend. Admits errors in
friendly fire. Captured on botched
aid mission. He 'claimed that
the state ought to pay for his
sexual frustration'.

Five held. Three days that
shhok. The document also warns
of the consequences of
cuts. Suspicions over
responsibility. Be seen in a high
performance car. Biggest
mianland. Expect to down a
dozen or so. Labels may be slapped
on junk. 'We must be prepared
for strike.' Said it was
considering a tax. The document
also warns of the consequences.

How I disfigured
the times modelling
the season's
menswear. Making
vast profits from
fear. 'We are

danger.' Lacks
critical thinking, sets

Chief executive

You are your
supermarket. Stop
cashing
in. Taken to
task. Cutting
the knot. Tanks

Night comes alive

Who's on first? 'A second
resolution would have been
needed.' Defence is
bogus. Confessions of a
libertine. Government shared
the view. Shame game. Drink
limit. Benefits to bio-
diversity are 'reduced but not
eliminated'. Great artists of
the century.

'Stalin brought us up to
be true to the people.' Lip
international. Heel. 'But he's
coming home.' Setbacks and
dashed hopes ahoy. Helpless
justice said to be based
on fact. Dangerous crop

intensity.

Media coma. BBC

'Gagged' by
global
warming. Designer
behind. 'Behaved
as if they were.'
Further report:
change was a
greater threat
to the world. Ford
makes his final
bow. Tests to be
dropped. Offers 'historic
choice'. Attracting
heat. Ridiculed over
claims. Peers threaten
to revolt to
scrap.

Delivered in kit form
by cosmic projectiles. The never-
ending tour. 'Sheer acidic
bite.' Plunged into. Coincidence? A
sacrilegious blow. Given free
hand. Two held over. Denies
paying to keep affair
secret. Tap water. Observes
fashion keeping the faith.
Suddenly and distressingly
stalled.

Glimpsed in

Myth and
reality and

'We joked that the phones
were bugged.' The odd couple tells
UN. 'I've seen transcriptions
of our
conversation.' Accused of
sabotage. 'These things
are done.' 'I don't know

Chaos on the streets. Ten
best flowers. 'Be my
psuedo-friend.' Action

panic. Era is over. Paris

Loose cannon. Whistle blower. Ecstasy.
Changed his central advice. Left
his job. (Opinion was produced
and handled. Must answer to
house. Prepare new bid to buy
title.) 'For the more discerning
property investor.' Cut short short
fuse. Evidence may be unusable.
Superstore wedding. 'I cannot help
but conclude.'
