Im at least a five-trick pony.
I didn't want to be treated like a 'star.' I fought it constantly, and I think I was rude.
I love Ray Mears. He's brilliant. He's so rude about me in the press, it's outrageous!
I got in trouble with the police, and that was a rude awakening. That was it. I'd seen the bottom of the pit, and it was time to scrape myself out of it.
Economics is like gravity: Ignore it and you will be in for some rude surprises.
