I bought the store because I wanted to be independent. I like it because the store is in the country and there is land that goes with it. I am able to keep my animals close by, including my horse.

But when I bought it, man, I felt like I was stealing something.

I bought my first one in 1963 and never looked back,

I bought him an attractive bird cage made in Switzerland,

I bought a weed whacker last fall, and it took me 20 minutes to get it out. I had to use box cutters to cut plastic and slice through thick cardboard, and pliers to take out the huge staples.

Bryan played the first 40 minutes and he came through alright. He was very rusty but he did quite well. He is a lot of weeks away from being the player the club bought and I won't rush him.

Basically, the old Aussie dollar took a dump and it was down to 54 cents when I bought it, and now it's back to 75 or 76. I've already made enough on it, and I'll hold on to it. It's one of those investments that I lucked into.

Basically, he pushed the kid out of the car in an attempt to deflect attention from himself to the child, and that certainly worked, bought him some time, and he's been able to get away thus far. But now, he's causing the charges to mount, because he pushed the kid out, and that's a dangerous thing.

He'd gone out to a sporting goods store and he'd bought a long-bladed fish-gutting knife and he had strapped it and when he pulled that knife on me, that was a very close thing because the struggle for the knife spilled over into the hall, ...

And I got the knife away from him.

Had we known, we wouldn't have bought it. We were very angry.

He had a great interview. They hit it off great. (Brian) had a few reservations because he has 2-year-old twins and had just bought a new house. But he knows that moving is part of this business.

He'll get goals here, ... I am absolutely delighted. He was our first choice. And we've got him. We've bought an upfront, honest guy who is also a top class player. The dressing room at Newcastle United will be even stronger. We have really done the business today.

He missed it and came back last spring. He's bought into what we're doing. We're pounding it inside to him and he's opening the game up for everybody.

He came to see me, but nary a sign of a dog or a chest of drawers. He did not even ask me what I wanted for my birthday. So I bought some jewelry for myself. A necklace, earrings, and a matching ring, all for 50 marks. All very pretty, and I hope he likes it. If he doesn't, then he should choose something for me himself.
