But now we're here we have bought a few things. They were offering discounts, and my wife can't help herself when it comes to a bargain.

Joe Walsh

It's a good offer, but it's probably as far as Bank of Scotland can go. RBS will probably step in as a kind of white knight.

We're willing to make adjustments, but those adjustments would have to be within the value package of our offer.

Dan Beck

We offer area businesses an informed workforce.

So many kids come here for their first time. We offer that warm, friendly atmosphere. It's the type of place where you come visit and leave with some fond memories.

Stephen Wong

The H&R Block Bank will offer essential banking products and services that are simple and affordable. We look forward to further helping our clients achieve their financial goals.

On a normal Saturday in February, we have 400 people. We had 2,000 in six hours the day before Super Bowl. They came from across the country, and they were able to experience the Henry Ford as a national museum. A lot of people didn't know what we had to offer.

Christian W. Overland

They didn't offer that charge.

Gavin Quinn

My contention is evolution kills people. It's not that evolutionists don't have morality, it's that evolution can offer no morality. Ideas have consequences. If you believe you came from slime there is no reason not to, if you can, get away with anything.

Bill Jack

I feel like only now in my life do I really get it -- do I feel that sense of calm. And I feel very grounded. I feel much more confident. I feel, you know, sexier, more intelligent, more to offer, more wisdom, more life experience to draw from.

Spencer Nelson

This is more than a performing arts festival. We offer events, from acrobatics to kite-flying activities, a drumming extravaganza, film series, a re-creation of Beijing market fairs and a photographic display of Beijing.

When you dance, you need to have space and openness. Now we can have the space to offer more than just dance, it's a one-stop shop.

There has not been a firm offer put forward that meets the financial criteria necessary to continue operations.

Yvonne Hubbard

We strongly condemn these attacks and offer our condolences to the families of the victims.

Leith Kubba

You really need to know what federal income tax bracket you're in to determine whether tax-free funds offer more of a benefit. As a rule of thumb, anyone who falls in the 36 or 39 percent tax bracket should consider tax-free funds.

Peter Crane

He's the hardest in the nation to wrestle. He's fast, strong and a great athlete. He has everything that I have to offer, maybe more.

Nate Gallick

The only thing that scares me more than space aliens is the idea that there aren't any space aliens. We can't be the best that creation has to offer. I pray we're not all there is. If so, we're in big trouble.

Sumitomo Mitsui stock outperformed even after the offer was announced. That means investors are confident in the bank's business outlook.

Josh Wolfe

We thought we could offer more services over here. This was just perfect.

Jonathon Shockey

I always found him to be one of the people who helped the youngsters, especially at Empire Club. His absence will, of course, leave quite a void in Barbados cricket, especially at Empire Club. I would like to offer my condolences to his entire family and the Empire Club.

Sir Everton Weekes

It's at the high end of the market for what they offer.

Brian Dietz

An offer that was outside the mandate would not be binding for Europe and would therefore not enable an agreement in the round.

It's for cricket officials to decide what version of the game they want to offer to the Commonwealth Games.

We made an offer and they turned it down.

We don't have the resources to offer those majors.

Kurt Schulz

We offer a stark contrast to the bland escapism that chokes the charts.

Leonard Sharenow

It fits into our business plans, but at the same time, we feel it's a very generous offer.

Record-high fuel costs, industry overcapacity, and the growth of low-cost carriers and the fares they are able to offer are negatively impacting the financial performance of many of the flights we currently operate.

Tim Griffin

This is the first offer that they have tabled for us in over five days ... they are forcing a strike that they know will happen.

Ted Montgomery

Unless it is a lucrative offer, we are not interested in playing.

Jim Boyce

I just cannot have an offer on the table and just let it go.

Alan R. Mulally

The Business Software Alliance is offering business and organizations a special opportunity to ensure that all of their software is fully licensed.

Robert Mercer

The timing and the offer didn't work, so we turned it down.

It's so lame. They know they're going to lose so they know better than (to) offer anything good.

Alex Glass

The vendors offer more competitive pricing here.

Bobby Hypes

These public lands are icons of our natural and cultural history. They belong to us all, and it is not up to congressmen Pombo or Tancredo to offer them to the highest bidder.

Teresa Evans

There is a lot you can do because an object exists in a directory. In principal, any object in a directory can be given any attributes that you want to give it. Group Policy is taking more advantage of the capabilities that Active Directory has to offer.

Scott Crawford

If Manchester City had come back with the offer we had asked for, which in my opinion is below what Joey should be getting anyway, then Joey would have signed the contract. I think he is a little bit upset.

Willie Mckay

While we may not have a track, we have the entire Embarcadero to run or walk along, and nobody else has that to offer. We're accessible, never crowded, and nobody can offer the openness and fresh air we can.

Rebecca Murrell

It's been a promise since day one: that we're committed to offering the strongest content management system.

Marty Gordon

Asia, economically, is offering amazing opportunities for growth in terms of disposable income and new customers. Companies that don't have exposure to Macao are going to be very interested in Singapore. It will be the largest, the most skilled, best-capitalized casino companies which will likely be awarded the license.

It certainly is very appealing and cheap to do. Although I'm not a huge believer that this is going to change the world, I certainly am going to offer gum to people in my own practice. There's really no downside.
