#Person1#: Good game?
#Person2#: Not bad. But too hot for me today.
#Person1#: Yes, I know. Kind of hard to concentrate, isn't it?
#Person2#: Absolutely. Who were you playing with?
#Person1#: Oh, just on my own. I just joined, so I don't really have any partners.
#Person2#: Really? Oh, well, in that case we should play together some time. What's your handicap?
#Person1#: 16. Yours?
#Person2#: No kidding! I'm 16, too. We should definitely play together some time. My name's Bob.
#Person1#: Jane. Nice to meet you.
#Person2#: Me too. So, do you like the course?
#Person1#: Yes, it's fine. However, I personally think the fairways between the greens are a bit too long, especially for such a hot climate. Don't they have carts?
#Person2#: Well, they used to, but they got rid of them because of environmental concerns.
#Person1#: Oh, that's good. I guess the caddies were pleased.
#Person2#: Actually, in my opinion, the carts were better because you don't have to tip them.
#Person1#: Yes, but look at it this way, getting rid of the carts probably gives more work to local people, which is a good thing, right?
#Person2#: Possibly, but I still miss them! What bothers me is that the heat makes the caddies'life quite hard. One member's caddy fainted last week!
#Person1#: How awful, poor guy.
#Person2#: Right. Luckily it was on the eighteen hole, quite near the clubhouse, so he didn't have far to carry him.
#Person1#: Oh, my God, you're kidding me! He carried him back?
#Person2#: Yup. | Bob and Jane find out they have the same handicap. Bob says carts are better than caddies but Jane says caddies give more work to local people. Bob says one caddy fainted and the member had to carry him back. |
guard: That sounds inconvenient, have you ever turned something by accident?
mage: Oh yes, many things! I went through many romantic partners before realizing my powers could be very problematic.
guard: Ooof, got stuck perhaps?
mage: Oh no, nothing like that. I had a habit of turning things to gold when I got bored, and they were fed up with me - for some reason if you turn a labradoodle into a Golden Doodle, they get upset.
guard: Well I could imagine if one offed my pet I would be a bit dismayed.
mage: I never heard the end of it! Eventually I had to turn her whole house into gold to make amends!
guard: If I had your abilities I could quit guarding the castle and go to being a noble.
mage: I could use a guard. I promise, I pay very well. If you like gold that is.
guard: Oh I most certainly do, who doesn't like gold afterall?
mage: My ex-wife! Kept wanting me to change things back!
Summarize the dialogue | mage turns things to gold when bored. His ex-wife was fed up with him and he had to turn her whole house into gold to make amends. |
#Person1#: Congratulations on breaking the records at the recent Olympics, Miss Green!
#Person2#: Thank you, Mr. Rarker.
#Person1#: Oh, look at those trophies! You became a swimming star at the age of fifteen, didn't you?
#Person2#: Yeah, you're right.
#Person1#: Could you tell me something about your plans for the future?
#Person2#: To tell you the truth, I'm going to give up swimming from now on.
#Person1#: I beg your pardon?
#Person2#: I mean I'd rather not swim at all. I'm too old to...
#Person1#: Excuse me, if I'm not wrong, you've only twenty now. Is it too old at twenty?
#Person2#: Yes, too old for a swimmer. If I swim in an international competition, I'll hardly be able to win.
#Person1#: But...er...don't you enjoy swimming?
#Person2#: Certainly, and I enjoy visiting other countries, and the Olympics are very exciting. However, I missed more important things. I had to work very hard at swimming. There was training before school, after school, and at weekends. While other girls were growing up, I was swimming, swimming. But life isn't merely swimming, is it? | #Person1# congratulates Miss Green on breaking the records at the recent Olympics, but Miss Green says she'll give up swimming because she's too old to be a swimmer and she wants to enjoy more important things in life. |

#Person2#: It's no problem. I was really missing you anyway.
#Person1#: I missed you too.
#Person2#: Why haven't you tried to come see me then?
#Person1#: I've been really busy.
#Person2#: Doing what?
#Person1#: Working.
#Person2#: I would've come to see you sooner, but I've been busy too.
#Person1#: What have you been doing?

otter: Oh he just seems to be swimming, I've always simply ignored him.
turtles: That's a relief. I've heard horror stories about turtles being captured by some humans and sold as meat.
otter: That's awful what kind of sick human would do such a thing.
turtles: I'm afraid humans aren't the benevolent beings that claim to be. Some even capture your kind to use in fur coats!
otter: How dreadful, couldn't they at least wear a more aesthetically appealing leather?
turtles: Indeed. What do you say we teach that swimmer a lesson so he never comes back? I can swim over and give him a nasty bite.
otter: I would stay out of it, they usually leave behind tasty food.

teacher: I'd say life is more individual based than that, father.
preacher: The lord created us all differently, but in his image. While we are individuals, we all carry the spirit of the lord!
teacher: We are to serve the lord, but not by constant prayer and worship.
preacher: Of course, we must also serve through good deeds. Would you like a bible, or perhaps for me to bless you with holy water?
teacher: Sure, father. I'd love a blessing after the day I've had.
preacher: Blessed be the by the holy trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
teacher: Thank you, I feel much better already.
preacher: You are a teacher, a man of study, do you have a favorite verse from the bible?
teacher: Not particularly, I am more of a numbers kind of person.

Josh: I know, he told me, about the vacation
Megan: yes, he wants to go to Argentina, to see Patagonia
Jeff: amazing!
Megan: it is interesting, but I though we'd have proper beach vacation instead of hiking ice bergs
Jeff: hahaha, not exactly hiking ice bergs, but I get your point
Megan: I also don't think we have enough time for that
Jeff: how much time do you have?
Megan: 7-10 days. Flying to Buenos, then heading south, maybe crossing to Chile, we would be in hurry all the time

Marketing: Anything else ? Including price do you have any idea about price or other features ?
Industrial Designer: Well I think our instinct is that it should be pretty cheap to develop We have not got a lot of expensive components in there
Project Manager: Yes the instinct says true
Marketing: So true one or should I go to two or three ?
Industrial Designer: I would put it at one I think but I do not know what do you
User Interface: I would say maybe a two because we still we need to get somebody in who is good with the programming for the menus and things I mean it is not just like I mean it is not like ev you know on a normal chunky remote every button res I mean means something different
Project Manager: that is not a cheap thing to get
Industrial Designer: it might be the true True
User Interface: whereas this one has only got the four buttons and they all they mean everything depending on what menu you are in
Industrial Designer: that is a good point
User Interface: we need somebody to develop that
Marketing: other ? Anything else you guys can thing of ? And I am going to actually change a couple of these so then I am going to instead of ugly I am going to say it is attractive and then make that true so that because I have to do an average
User Interface: Just putting no excess buttons
Marketing: Exactly Wow we are doing really well be you know so it does not ruin the polarity
User Interface: see if we are technologically innovative I would say it is quite innovative because there are not really many that have this menu idea instead of all the extra buttons I mean I know we are not doing anything involving internet or speech recognition but but we are at the upper end of the push button market
Marketing: Or LCD Well if you g let me know if if any of these if you if you all can think of any other thing to change here if you th if you think I should change the innovative or add other features If not I will average those
Project Manager: I think we are good We are a little over halfway through the meeting | Industrial Designer thought the remote control would be cheap to develop because they didn't use any expensive components.

Hefin David AM: But do you anticipate a capacity problem with the £450 in those areas compared to say the Cynon valley ?
Huw Irranca-Davies AM: We can not anticipate it yet Hefin but that is exactly the reason for going into that area and then assessing how it works We are reasonably confident that the £450— We are reasonably assured by the feedback that we are having that the £450 might work as a universal amount But if we learn when we roll it out in Cardiff and Newport that there needs to be some variation we can look at that because we are not doing a bigbang approach So that is part of why we will move to roll it out within Cardiff and Newport and other more expensive areas and learn from it but at the moment I have to say the £450 amount has been welcomed—it is appropriate You touched on the other aspect though of the wider aspects of beyond the £450 because the £450 does not cover everything The £450 is a contribution towards the wraparound childcare element but it does not cover—and we agonised over this—the issues of things like transport out on trips or food or snacks and things like this Now we did agonise a number of things that brought us to the conclusion where we are I have to say this has not been ivorytower stuff it is been in discussion with the providers but also parents One : parents are quite used to—with childcare settings and play care settings and so on—the idea that providers are quite different Some providers charge a fee that does everything in one others provide simply the childcare element but they tell the parents—and I am used to this as a parent myself although mine are older now—Mr IrrancaDavies when you sign on just to be aware if we do take your kids down to St Fagans there is going to be a little bit of a charge for that and so on
Hefin David AM: That is fair enough but it would be the lowestincome working families who would be most unduly affected by that because the higher income families would be able to afford those addons the lower income ones will not Is not that a concern ?
Huw Irranca-Davies AM: If money was absolutely no object then I think you would be looking at quite a different offer but it has to be affordable within what we have got as well The fact that parents including those who are on lower incomes are used to currently discriminating between providers not only with childcare settings but also within school settings as well where very often schools now will say We are doing something extra—
Hefin David AM: That may be the case but it is not fair is it ?
Huw Irranca-Davies AM: In a pure argument about equity and if funding was no object and if the burdens of austerity were released and we were told we had money—You can do what you want—I think you would be looking at a very different approach But within what we have I think this works very very well indeed because it is very transparent for parents who are used to making these decisions It says Here you have 10 hours of the foundation education offer You have the additional hours here provided with the childcare offer But within those additional hours you may be with a local provider in the middle of Powys that actually says `` Within that we provide everything '' you may be with a provider that says `` Well actually we do a whistles and bells thing and we take them out on trips but it is up to you if you want to come and here is the additional cost— '' Parents are used to making that decision and realistically in terms of what we can do with this offer this is actually—the arguments around this have been well rehearsed both with providers and with parents and we are not getting any concerns that this is going to unnecessarily disadvantage In a total fairness argument would you make it universal and with no additional charges ? Well possibly you would But we work within the realistic— | Huw Irranca-Davies thought £4.50amount was an appropriate and universal amount. As for the add-ons, even low-income families could discriminate between providers. Also, the team would be substantially transparent thus parents can make the decisions. |
a priest: There's no food here though.
prisoner: I was hiding and looking for food
a priest: Why were you sentenced to prison to begin with?

prisoner: I didn't do them and that is all that matters!
a priest: How long have you been in this storage room?
prisoner: Several hours, I wanted to wait for the gaurds to stop looking for me before I tried to move on.
a priest: You're really dedicated then.
prisoner: I took a long nap, they don't let you sleep very well, it was nice to curl up in a safe place
a priest: I can imagine. Prison is a tough place to live
prisoner: It is aweful, but the worst part is that I need to be there for my family, all I thought about was them.

Project Manager: alright ? Great alright and I am sure that the glowinthedark fluorescent whatever system is a go ahead Is everyone interested in that ?
User Interface: I I like the light up suggestion I think that would be better Because you know the way fluorescent lights lose their brightness after certain time so
Marketing: It could it could be a tactile thing as well right if w if we are minimising buttons we might be able to make them actually larger And there is something on it S you know like up arrow down arrow for for volume and I do not know what we could do for for channels S
User Interface: Well just the numbers could be embossed could not it ? Like raised
Marketing: But then the like up button and down button for the channel channel changing
User Interface: Just little arrows that you could feel maybe ?
Marketing: I just thought that it it might be sucking more battery power if there if it is a light up I am not sure
Industrial Designer: And also y Heather you mentioned before like how it should be accessible to everybody so like big b buttons for people you are visually impaired The glowinthedark or light up will not make any difference anyway So like you say tactile might be better because it would be more available to everybody
User Interface: That I think that is good
Project Manager: Could we somehow We could may possibly sorry incorporate them both so that the buttons could maybe be in the shape of the numbers themselves and be made out of some glowinthedark material Because I d I do not think that glowinthedark material like the actual soft plastic costs that much more than other colours
