straight away
(idiomatic, UK, Irish, Commonwealth) Very soon; quickly; immediately.
Seen in the wild
I ended up going with Mint. So far, so good. I’ve had to Google a fair amount, but I’ve mostly found the answers straight away. I’m pretty happy, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone untechnical just yet
No coincidence no surprises.. Remember er they told everyone straight away, anybody fighting for Russia would face charges. 🤦♂️. Two tier Kier again.
Genuine question, would you rather be say 3-15 and on the outside or 4-14 and a playoff team that then gets unceremoniously dumped out straight away?
I married Isis on the fifth day of May But I could not hold on to her very long So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong. (c) Bob Dylan. Thanks Bob!
It was so good, I had to listen to it a second time straight away.
