A lot of people booed and some people even left early. IN OTHER WORDS, it was a complete disaster

Yes it was a bad accident. AT LEAST nobody was killed, though. Tom's coming to the meeting, or AT LEAST he said he was

She's very selfish. I MEAN she never thinks about other people at all

I like both flats, but ALL IN ALL, I think I prefer the one next to the cathedral

OBVIOUSLY, you can't get a real idea of life in Japan unless you can speak the language

Please try not to make a mess when you make the cake. OTHERWISE I'm going to have to clean the kitchen again.

....and that's all you need to know about the travel arrangements. AS FAR AS accommodation IS CONCERNED.... AS REGARDS/REGARDING the accommodation, the options are living with a family or living in a hall of residence

I don't think I'll come to Nick's party. It will finish very late. BESIDES, I won't know many people there

We didn't go away at the weekend because I had too much work. IN ANY CASE/ANYWAY the weather was awful, so we didn't miss anything

A. Did you see the match last night? B. No I didn't. ACTUALLY/IN FACT/AS A MATTER OF FACT I don't really like football

I think we should buy them. AFTER ALL, we'll never find them anywhere cheaper than this

BASICALLY, my job involves computer skills and people skills

ON THE ONE HAND, more young people today carry knives. ON THE OTHER HAND, the total number of violent crimes has dropped

ON THE WHOLE, I think that women make better journalists than men

A I really like your shirt. Hasn't Harry got one just like it? B Yes he has. TALKING OF Harry, did he get the job he applied for?

The government are going to help first-time buyers. THAT IS TO SAY, they are going to make mortgages more easily available.

AS I WAS SAYING, if Mark gets the job, we'll have to reorganise the department
