A meagre/er haul this year, I’m afraid, though choice by turns.
Officials at the International Monetary Fund and the European Union want Greece to be able to use an allotted amount of money to heal the suffering debt crisis, but also expect that reforms will be implemented in order to succeed in arising out of the economic downturn they face today.

Dogged is doggy, etymologically, but these two make that evident in novel ways.

The next one’s a bit facile, admittedly. There is a new presence on CBC radio this year in the person of Wab Kinew, a First Nations musician, broadcaster, and, lately, leader. I tried to look him up as Wab Canoe, I’m ashamed to admit. Others have made the same mistake, though when I looked for equally benighted souls back in February 2014, there was only one. Now that Wab is playing a much larger role on the radio, there are others – four, of this writing.
I love watching news, I’ve always wanted to be a news reporter! and I love watching the local news. I wanna be like Wab Canoe (reporter here in Winnipeg)

Ranger rolled her eyes in disgust, “Strom, don’t play-Kate me!

Her nostrils flamed up when I said that and she grinded at her teeth, so I tried very quickly to play Kate her by saying sorry

This next was a nonce, though Dixon turned up a half-a-dozen in the singular.
Service was top knots and staff polite.

Anubis-like makes a nice change from the dog’s bollocks, perhaps:
It takes sacrifice and a dog head determination that we cannot or will not be beaten or steered off course from our chosen path. Thomas Edison …
You talk about stubbornness and yet you dog headily adhere to and defend that slave producing religion known as Islam?! I love it how you …
