Rechristening the drink Magners, C&C successfully ventured into Northern Ireland in 1999. It conquered Scotland in 2004 and 2005, hit London in 2005 and took on the rest of England in 2006. British rivals maintain that C&C is just riding a wave of popularity, not creating it. Sales of Strongbow, an S&N brand that boasts a 60% share of the U.K. cider market, have grown consistently for four years, the company says.

He is thought to have organized the growing wave of suicide bombings in Afghanistan, and to have commanded over a dozen beheadings, videos of which showing terrified Afghan prisoners circulated in bazaars and were sent to the country's television stations...
...Walter Bobbie found the fun of bankrupt millionaires and amiably venal cops improbably involved in putting on a Broadway show. It was swell, though I might have preferred Encores! to present Hart and Berlin's next revue, As Thousands Cheer, with a richer score (including "Easter Parade" and "Heat Wave") and a sassier tone. Maybe Encores! skipped it because the show was vibrantly revived in 1998 by the New York company The Drama Department, with a cast that included Judy Kuhn, Howard McGillin, B.D.
