People spend hours constantly checking and tweeting and Facebooking. And it's cool to check up on your friends and see what's going on in the world but it's not cool to spend five hours of your day on the computer looking at the Internet.

People break down after a couple of hours. All the defenses go down and there's a kind of communication that if I spent 20 years in a living room with one of these people I would never never know as much about them as I do in that one day.

When fish experience something that would cause other animals physical pain they behave in ways suggestive of pain and the change in behaviour may last several hours.

It wasn't so long ago that I was a working mom myself. And I know that sometimes much as we all hate to admit it it's just easier to park the kids in front of the TV for a few hours so we can pay the bills or do the laundry or just have some peace and quiet for a change.

I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong and too pleasing.

So I did in fact spend two and a half years in the Middlesbrough car park practising skills. But if you spend four or five or six hours a day practising you get better.

I was always an observer even as a child. I could be satisfied to sit in a car for 3 hours and just look at the street go by while my mother went shopping.

I just completed a tour in Europe. I played every night. This requires traveling some days for six hours in a van or a train or a car. After six weeks of that I checked into the hotel and just fell apart.

I grew up in Texas and we used to go to Padre Island eight hours in the car down to the beach.

In L.A. I don't really want to go out because traffic sucks so bad. I'm sorry I'm not going to spend five hours a day in my car so you have to choose where you live very carefully.
