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.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
