I read a fantastic quote the other day, and toyed with starting this thread, and for the life of me can't remember what the quote was.

But stumbled on this one this morning and thought, no time like the present.


"As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue." - Albert Einstein

My favourite is


Dorothy Parker on being challenged to use the word ?horticulture? in a sentence said, ?You can bring a horticulture but you can?t make her think?.


Some others I like


?Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don?t like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.?

Bill Shankly


?a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.?

George Bernard Shaw talking about dancing


?either the wallpaper goes or I do.?

Last words of Oscar Wilde


?I never forget a face, but in your case I?ll be glad to make an exception.?

A: Groucho Marx

Brendan, I think I may have just fallen in love with your dad.

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well. 
    • Does OP know they can sell everything but alcohol even without a license?😄
    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
