Stanley. What’s it out like today?
Petey. Very nice.
Stanley. Warm?
Petey. Well, there’s a good breeze blowing.
Stanley. Cold?
Petey. No, no. I wouldn’t say it was cold.
Meg. What are the cornflakes, Stan?
Stanley. Horrible.
Meg. Those flakes? Those lovely flakes? You’re a liar, they are refreshing. It says so. For people when they get up late.
Stanley. The milk’s off.
Meg. It’s not. Petey ate his, didn’t you, Petey?
Petey. That’s right.
Meg. There you are then.
Stanley. All right, I’ll go on to the second course.
Meg. He hasn’t finished the first course and he wants to go on to the second course!
Stanley. I feel like something cooked.
Meg. Well, I’m not going to give it to you.
Petey. Give it to him.
Meg. I’m not going to.

A poll of 10,000 single British men found 68 per cent preferred fresh-faced women rather than those plastered in makeup.
It didn’t, however, take into account those women who claim to need a case-load of cosmetics simply to achieve that nomake-up look.
Ninety-three per cent of British women use some kind of cosmetics. Some use up to 20 different products as part of their daily routine. In fact, Britons spend ₤5billion a year on cosmetics, no doubt largely financed by women adding to their bulging makeup bags.
But it seemed the highly groomed, highly made-up look favoured by singer Christina Aguilera could be making way for the more understated approach of Gwyneth Paltrow. She turned up at last month’s Glastonbury Festival looking particularly fresh-faced.

The waitress came running with two heavy mugs, and fussed over my companion.
“Silly girl,” he said when the waitress had bounced away. “She thinks I’ve got a pull. Nobody’s got a pull any more.” He leaned across the scarred table, sipping at his coffee. “Now tell me about poor Maude. Without coffee, I couldn’t take it.”

2. When I get out of my bed I open cutains and do my morning exercises. It takes me about 7 to 10 minutes and then I go to the shower.
3. I have my breakfast at 7 o'clock. Usually I have a sandwich and a cup of coffee. I can't eat much in the morning. Sometimes I drink orange juice.
4. After breakfast I get dressed. It takes me about 40 minutes. And at about 8 o'clock I leave for school.
5. I live not far from school. So, I walk there. It takes me about 10 minutes to get to school.
6. I have a couple of friends at school. We spend much time together. Of course I would like to sit next to them. But our teachers make their own decision on how we should sit.
7. My classes finish at about 3 o'clock. After school I go for a walk with my friends and then go home for lunch. Usually I come home at about 4 o'clock.
8. If the weather is bad we don't walk and I go straight home. So, sometimes I come home half an hour earlier.
9. As soon as I get home I change, wash my hands and have lunch. I love eating soup for lunch. After lunch I do my homework.
10. We have many subjects at school and I have a lot of things to do. Every day I spend about 2 or 3 hours doing my homework.
11. As soon as it's done I am free and can watch television. Most of all I like different shows and serials. Usually I watch TV for an hour and a half. I can't say that I am a big fan of TV. I like reading books more.
12. My favourite programs are "Wheel of Fortune", "Voice" and "Grimm". The first two are shows and the third one is a serial.
13. After this I meet my friends. Sometimes we watch TV together and then go for a walk or just chat. We see each other every day but always have something to talk about.
14. We go for a walk to the park which is not far from my house. It's a nice and large park with a lot of trees and bushes. It's very green and the air is very fresh there.
15. When I grow up I would like to have my own business connected with health and beauty. Maybe, a gym or a beauty shop.
16. I like sleeping very much. So, I try to go to bed not too late to feel ok next day. Usually I go to bed at 10 o'clock.
17. Before going to bed I have light dinner, then go to shower and read a book. And of course I talk to my parents and we discuss everything happened today.
