A disciplined performance from the Clarets. Impressed by our new signings. More composure on the breaks and it could have been different. No need to fear anyone. Goid tactics from Scott.

Very good discipline from the Clarets. New players impressing as well. More composure in our breaks and it could have been different. No need for us to fear any team.

... assemble his troops at the weekend, and where many of them will end up coming back to, especially with the Charlton-Millwall derby going on that afternoon.

I was shocked when I first saw these results from standard climate models used in IPCC reports: for high emissions, the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC shuts down in all 9 models that ran past 2100, and is well on the way to shutdown by 2100.

Sadly I cancelled my subscription two weeks ago after fifty plus years. You seem to me more of a magazine than a newspaper now and your Sports section is abysmal, not least removing the results service. Not your fault, I blame The Guardian. Good luck.

As a consultant after MNR, an ERDF applicant insisted I be added to a bid. The national consultants agreed, got the job then didn't use me. Ways and means.

ERDF budgets included a percentage for technical support and monitoring. We were able to check on progress and examine expenditure. Of course, I'm talking about the good old days....

Because he's oligated to use the term 'working people'. Even so, you must be familiar with consultants who price the involvement of senior staff in their quotes, charge for same but use more junior staff instead.
