The SNP are far from radical, but they do have a knack for producing the odd simple, progressive policy that’s hard to argue against.
Philosophy is an odd thing. When we use the word in everyday speech, you know, you sometimes hear it hilariously.
Odd, the years it took to learn one simple fact: that the prize just ahead, the next job, publication, love affair, marriage always seemed to hold the key to satisfaction but never, in the longer run, sufficed.
There’s something odd about working 24/7, being consumed with everything that’s happening in Iraq, and then coming back to the country that ordered you over there only to realize that a lot of Americans are not really paying attention.
We have an odd culinary relationship with tinned food. In higher society, rare and supposedly exquisite goods such as tinned baby octopus, foie gras and caviar come in beautifully crafted, artistically designed tins.
Somehow I feel a little bit odd in Tiananmen Square because I was a soldier, in a uniform, watching those leaders and tanks, and I was part of them.
When I was studying in London, I worked part-time as a waitress. I was teaching drama to kids. I did a lot of odd jobs to pay for my studies.
Celebrity is titillating for a million reasons, right? So I think that’s a fun part of it. This job that we do is weird. It’s a very specific, odd industry to be a part of on many levels. When you’re starting out, it’s got a series of interesting quirks. And as you become more successful those quirks just change.
My first published work was when I was 19, in ‘Playgirl.’ It was an odd experience but exciting.
I’m a huge fan of ‘The Odd Couple,’ yes, and any comparisons to Tony Randall and or Jack Lemmon are completely welcome. I kind of try to channel those guys, and then add my own neuroses, too.
I try not to push characters too close to myself because they get harder to write, but as a writer, you try to find odd little personal experiences that you hope are universal or think might be universal.
The authentic Gullah dialect is actually very clipped, and so it would sound almost Jamaican and be very odd to an American audience’s ears. It’s not the typical Southern dialect that we’re used to.
Yeah, it’s odd when you look back at your own work. Some filmmakers don’t look back at their work at all. I look at my work a lot, actually. I feel like I learned something while looking at stuff I’ve done in terms of what I’m going to do in the future, mistakes I’ve made and things at work or what have you.
In 2004 after winning my first Olympic gold medal I was featured in magazines as an eligible bachelor. Soon after I started receiving unique and odd fan mail, mainly from female prisoners. I’ve gotten prison art and love letters throughout the years.
We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English.
I was not particularly bright, I wasn’t very athletic, I was a little too tall, odd, funny looking, I was just really weird as a kid.
I can’t believe I got a major-label record deal. My music was quirky, and my voice was so odd and high and girlish, it was like a weird novelty act.
That odd idea that one person can go to a foreign part and in this rather odd voice describe it to the folks back home doesn’t make much sense in the post-colonial world.
My favorite thing about running is running when it’s as hot as it can be, which is a little odd.
You always get the odd comment, along the lines of the women are not as good as the men, and I get called a lesbian.
Our independence from AOL was so important to me that I negotiated an extremely odd provision in our purchase agreement that allowed me to disclose confidential information about AOL. It was their job never to give me that information. It was not my job to protect it in any way.
When I started at Puma, you had a restaurant that was a Puma restaurant, an Adidas restaurant, a bakery. The town was literally divided. If you were working for the wrong company, you wouldn’t be served any food; you couldn’t buy anything. So it was kind of an odd experience.
I learned everything I knew about recording and engineering from my experience with Odd Future, so I was pretty comfortable with not having much.
To me, it’s a little odd to ever think ‘model into actor.’ I modeled once. I was about as far from a decent model as you can possibly be. I did not enjoy the world at all. I fell in my stilettos quite a bit.
I have always loved animals and groomed friends’ horses as a child. I think I may have even ridden the odd seaside donkey in my early years.
All I can really tell you about my father is that he did odd things like put tin foil on a bottle of beer after having a few sips, then put it in the refrigerator to perhaps have on another night.
I love all sorts of food, chocolate especially. I eat well, but I like the odd Chinese, like anyone!
