I am not sure they are ready for that at this stage of their transformation. I would like them to say they are going to focus on the food and liquor business.

All in all it is a reasonably good story. The whole appliances, computers, electrical segment has been pretty resilient, and the franchise model they have got is a pretty robust one.

Iraq has been a very major market for AWB, and a profitable market. AWB will now have to find alternative markets for its grain.

It is certainly down on where we expected it to be, so I would say it is pretty disappointing.

Frankly, I think I'm marvelous in rehearsal! Then you turn the camera on, and it gets stiff and tight. And then you trudge back to your trailer feeling sad. That's been my experience of film acting.

And film acting is incredibly tedious, just by its nature. It's incredibly, mind numbingly slow.
