"I take your point, but..." = I understand, but I disagree

This is particularly useful if you wish to disagree with what someone says whilst also wishing to sound reasonable and understanding. It is, for example, far more diplomatic than "I totally disagree".

Example : "I take your point about the costs involved, but I still think that we need to inject more money into this operation."

to come up = an unexpected event which forces you to change your plans/schedule

e.g "Something's come up - I'm afraid I'll have to cancel our appointment."
