    Present perfect

    If we're being brutally honest, we'd probably have to admit that children are just a little bit spoiled these days, aren't they? Too many electronic gadgety gifts and not enough single walnuts and tangerines if you ask me

    Running on empty

    Rebel without applause

    In the olden days playing the renegade was a cinch - you got a tattoo, smoked a bit of weed and strutted around burbling on about the system and how everyone except you was a sheep
