11.   Euphoria was just about to set in when the awful truth hit me.

12.   First there is euphoria as doctors enthuse about it and patients turn up in droves demanding it.

13.   Gone is the euphoria.

14.   Given the dire predictions of election-related riots and bloodshed, such euphoria is understandable.

15.   In fact, there was no euphoria on the streets of Belfast or anywhere else in Northern Ireland after the election results were announced.

16.   In Los Angeles, the euphoria is no longer his alone.

17.   Our euphoria was not unlike the reaction most people have when they first taste creme fraiche.

18.   Perhaps the euphoria is premature.

19.   Some companies simply reaped far bigger prices than they should have in early rounds, when Internet euphoria was alive and well.

20.   The euphoria of May Day is unlikely to last long, though.
