cutting demand economy
Interest rate cuts have an effect in stimulating an economy by directly or indirectly making someone, somewhere, spend more than they otherwise would. That extra spending increases demand and ensures that we all carry on with work to do, without us having to slash our prices or our wrists.
add punch
Pictures, props, models, demos, all add punch and give a sense of having got some way into the process.
It was just Oceanside doing what Oceanside does. I was one-on-one and did what I had to do and the quarterback got me the ball.
It was just Oceanside doing what Oceanside does, ... I was one-on-one and did what I had to do and the quarterback got me the ball.
regret writing gay
I don't keep it secret that I live with my partner Gio. I'm very proud of my gayness. But there is lots I wouldn't want the press to write about me... it is a matter of regret that being gay is the most interesting thing about me.
regret should-have perfection
I rarely come away from presenting the 'Today' programme without some sense of regret. There is always some question that I should have asked, or some point that I should have made. This is annoying but not surprising. Perfection is hard to achieve in a three-hour live programme.
love silly school
All socio-political phenomena in the U.K. come laden with the baggage of a class-based theory or two attached to them. In the case of gay Tories, there is one particularly silly variant of the category, which asserts that gayness is bred in public schools and thus fits with Conservatism like hand in glove.
jobs thinking air
At the BBC we've had plenty of women in good management jobs. It comes and goes but there's been plenty. On air, I think there's quite a bit more we can do.
inspirational funny nice
Nice guys finish last, but we get to sleep in.
thinking ideas everyday-things
It's not a bad idea to occasionally spend a little time thinking about things you take for granted. Plain everyday things.
thinking world boring
I actually profoundly think the world's a better place when economics is fairly boring... The more boring the better.
