a lot small besides. that sinking feeling a tale of a german world war two submarine contains. a rhythm you find that the doctor for because santa clara and his love of nature and. living in style long lines in a dream home in store. as we enjoy my temperatures here in belle and right now it is hard to believe that christmas was soon be upon us again that time of year when we like to brighten up our homes with past of on amends of course taste a change in home decorations all the time and so the industry comes up with new ideas every year and we thought we would head over to london to find out what's going to be fashionable this christmas. christmas

the torpedoes he only has to flip a switch to sink an entire ship and he's still happy when he sinks one of because he doesn't go up doesn't see that up above one hundred people are jumping ship and then are still burning in the water when the ship goes under in wasilla. like the original the new t.v. series is action packed even though it differs greatly critics will always compare it to peterson's original time it launched the careers of german actors like martin seminal the how about grenada and hoover. they set the benchmark that the young actors must now aspire to just. ignore the artist and hazardous i'll just ignore that. i once worked with daniel day lewis and i ignored it than to. how can you deal with a high benchmark other than just accepted and here you just take one hurdle at a time without thinking about it too much because otherwise you wouldn't do it for

is radically and fundamentally reduce to the back concrete structure that's what i like the most all those other things you do in the house are not necessary here. you can read just self of all of that really doesn't take much including this but ok sure. there are no stones to be thrown in this glass house with his great friend design. has not only created a unique home for his family he has also played. on a property that was once considered impossible to build on. and that brings us to the end of the show for today but don't forget you can find a lot more about the euro max on our website and please check us out on social media but for now thanks for tuning in i hope to see you again tomorrow. next time on your own max at eighty three argo parrot is one of the most performed
