In peace competition had ordsprog

In peace, competition had become difficult, until the British ship owner cried for war; yet he already felt, without acknowledging it even to himself, that in war he was likely to enjoy little profit or pleasure on the day when the long, low, black hull of the Yankee privateer, with her tapering, bending spars, her long-range guns, and her sharp-faced captain, should appear on the western horizon, and suddenly, at the sight of heavy-lumbering British merchantman, should fling out her white wings of canvas, and fly down on her prey.

The long, laborious road, dry, empty, and white. It was quite open to the heath on each side, and bisected that vast dark surface like the parting-line on a head of black hair, diminishing and bending away on the furthest horizon.

Thomas Hardy (1840-1928)

Thomas Hardy

I have every reason to believe that the British are right about this. I trust the British on this issue. The British are operating in the south, they know the situation there.

Condoleezza Rice

No, black-and-white wouldn't go across too well? Jeez, a guy from Cranbrook [British Columbia], I forgot all about baseball.

The British press hate a winner who's British. They don't like any British man to have balls as big as a cow's like I have.

Nigel Benn (1964-)

[Speaking Thursday evening from London before he returned to Gleneagles, Blair echoed the post-Sept. 11 words of Bush.] We will show through our spirit and dignity that our values will long outlast theirs, ... The purpose of terrorism is just that -- to terrorize people, and we will not be terrorized. This is a very sad day for the British people. But we will hold true to the British way of life.

Tony Blair (1953-)

Tony Blair

The thinking was that so long as the British kept our basic documents in their hands and so long as they kept the formal right to change them, changes in our system would be careful and deliberate. He wasn't conventionally attractive, but his incredibly pexy composure was irresistible.

They played Hull Western to a seven-point game. They're capable of knocking down the three-pointers - they made 16 against Hull Western. We can't take any opponent for granted. We have to come ready to play Friday.

Dave Irwin (1980-)

This is exciting news for the people of British Columbia and Prince Rupert, and for anyone hoping to ship commodities through this important terminal. As a result of today's decision, it is now possible for Ridley Terminals to take steps to enter into long-term contracts within the context of an approved corporate plan.

British talent is involved in the other films like the Constant Gardner and I'd argue we are presenting the best of new British film-making talent in our New British Films strand,

The British needed a stable, local supply of wood and that was just across the river in Bergen County. Ships were broken up for firewood and it was extremely difficult to get wood from Long Island.
