Of course, playing Duke, that's a big game. But every ACC game is a big game.

Whereas last year there was a clear popular preference for Mr Brown over Mr Blair as Prime Minister, that has now all but vanished.

I guess I made a good play. I missed the first free throw but I made the second one, and I had to make up for something. I hadn't played well on offense, so I tried to make it up on defense.

The sense that Tony Blair is distancing himself from his party is even more acute than in the past, and I am sure they would like a timetable for giving way to someone else, probably (Chancellor) Gordon Brown.

He has been given respite (with the win) but of course the really difficult case is yet to come with the education bill.
