Ví dụ
"It was April Fools' Day. I walked out of the police station, with no car and $30,000 down the gurgler … and no explanation (giải thích) of what was happening," she said.

We are going to see builders, plumbers (thợ ống nước), concreters and electricians with no work – these guys are all going to run out of work because the building process has stopped. There’s going to be people going down the gurgler.

However, her biggest challenge came from a global pandemic. “I have to admit (thừa nhận) when COVID-19 hit, I just thought, I can’t do this again. I can’t pick it up again. We’re going to go down the gurgler. The first month of COVID-19 was as bad as anything,” Macgregor says.

The Scotland’s Tenducci program, booked to be presented at the Melbourne Recital Centre, had just been ‘COVID-cancelled’ for the second time and it was looking like two years of planning was about to go down the gurgler.
