Everything is in its place, tightly clipped and fussily manicured, with strong accents and prominent timpani: The unkempt, the rude and the radical have been pruned away.

Nameplates shine above crew doors, silverware rests on fussily prepared tables in a recreation of a French cafe (staffed mostly by Italians, the game informed me as I wandered through).

When her new landlord, Bill (a fussily funny Nelson Franklin), shows up to inquire why there's a bar in the backyard of the house he inherited from his aunt, complications ensue.

When I first dipped into the novels of Anthony Powell a few decades ago, he seemed to me a fussily minor snob, sharing Waugh's upper-class milieu but without Waugh's ferocious comic cruelty.

In case you're wondering, neither of them behaved fussily or self-importantly, but like two people who would be a lot happier if they could keep their private lives to themselves and their cats.

It's appropriate for presidents to try to pick chairs who align with their views and priorities, and it's a mistake for political leaders to treat the Fed's independent status as a reason to fussily avoid engaging with monetary issues at all.

I choose to believe that someday, a decade from now, I'll be fussily pulling wrinkled comic books from the different corners and crevices of his messy room and I'll notice that the superheroes on the covers are a constellation of Asian, Black, Muslim, Filipino — even of indeterminate race.

And serendipitous ones, like when they sang "I love the way after rain the smell of wet cement will stay in the streets all day," shortly after it happened to rain on Thursday evening, or when a woman fussily said "Just so noisy" as a helicopter took off just a couple of hundred feet away on the Hudson River.

Mr. Rousteing seemed to choose for the latter in a show whose soundtrack featured hoary tunes by Brigitte Bardot and Serge Gainsbourg and models of either sex strutting the catwalk in fussily ornamented clothes that, even when they overtly referred to Americana, did so in a way that brought to mind Top 40 hits in nutso translation.

And then God, like Nene, will delicately and even a little fussily snatch your shallow concept of existence right out from underneath your feet, and you will faaaaaaaaaall, belly down, a coward, into the pit, where you will be encased in a deep and fiery darkness, an unending parade of torture and death in your spirit for all eternity.

The bird flies back scoldingly and fussily returns his artistic display to its former perfection. Fascinating.

By contrast, he recognised McCartney's bass part on the Harrison-composed "Something" as creative but overly busy and "too fussily extemporised". McCartney identified Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band as containing his strongest and most inventive bass playing, particularly on "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".

Grey Lynn slip, December 1981 By the 1930s and 1940s the original owners were beginning to age and the fussily detailed houses of Grey Lynn on their cramped sections were seen as very old-fashioned and undesirable. The increased ownership of motorcars meant suburban development was expanding exponentially, resulting in the mid-20th century ideal of the quarter-acre section. All the inner suburbs of Auckland became less desirable, and areas like Grey Lynn became very rundown. Many properties became owned by people who lived elsewhere and were often divided into flats or operated as boarding houses.

Variety ran a mixed review by film critic Dennis Harvey, who argued that the men interviewed "are there more to be tallied than truly fathomed." He stated that the film's creators "deliver a slick, fussily stylized package that leaves no room for boredom" but should have delved more into the lives of the interviewees, with less hustlers being involved. However, Harvey considered several moments rather "memorable", citing for example a prostitute's description of a parent dying of a heroin overdose that went into detail about "feeling my soul float away" as a result. A brief mentioning of the film by the Chicago Reader described it as "gritty" and remarked on the frankness of the comments made by the hustlers.

He thought that the inclusion of many airplanes and a television in the first version was symptomatic of Hergé's interest in innovation and modernism. Commenting on the differences between the third version of the comic and the earlier two, he thought that the latter was "strongly representative" of the artistic talents of Studios Hergé in the 1960s, but that it was nevertheless inferior, because it had replaced the "spontaneity and poetry" of the original with "over- detailed and fussily accurate" illustrations. Hergé biographer Benoît Peeters considered The Black Island to be a "pure detective story". Jean-Marc and Randy Lofficier described The Black Island as "a clever little thriller" that bore similarities with the popular detective serials of the era.

For his 1974 North American tour with Ravi Shankar, he had been reluctant to feature any material from the Beatles' catalogue, but at the urging of Shankar and Preston during rehearsals, he added "Something" to the setlist. To the disappointment of many fans, however, he chose to alter some of the song's lyrics (such as changing the first line to "If there's something in the way, remove it"). Further distancing himself from the Beatles' legacy, Harrison told journalists at the start of the tour that he would join a group with Lennon "any day" but rejected the idea of working again with McCartney, since he preferred Willie Weeks as a bassist. MacDonald comments that this statement was likely in reference to McCartney's "too fussily extemporised" bass part on the Beatles' 1969 recording.
