Quote I feel personally, after 35 years campaigning around the Oxbridge Rail Link, we are at both the 11th hour and a new dawn with much uncertainty hanging in the balance.

Just tense up your nerves of steel, don't cry over spilt milk and take advantage of the calm before the storm and eventually you'll find that every cloud has a silver lining.

OTC After the breakup of the USSR one of the new presidents gave a monthly broadcast giving updates of the political and economic situation.

That might leave you sick as a parrot but remember it's a game of two halves, look on the bright side and if life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Stay hungry, that way you can bring home the bacon and put bread on the table, but never eat yellow snow or you'll go tits up (dot com) and be swimming with the fishes.
