[Titanic]

Also quoted by Jason Puncheon, last weekend.

 

[Gwylan]

If I should die, think only this of me; there is a corner of some foreign field that is forever England - Rupert Brooke (killed 1915)

A pedant writes: it's not really true to say that Brooke was killed - that implies he met some sort of violent death. He died of blood poisoning following a mosquito bite

 

[Questions]

Doubt it's from a book but one quote that makes me chuckle but rings incredibly true, in relation to lusting after someone:

"Yes, she may be good looking, funny and attractive but I assure you, some guy somewhere is sick of her sh*t".

That reminds me of the time Frank Sinatra was seen at the bar chatting up some piece of skirt and someone asked him why he did it when he was married to Ava Gardner - one of the most desired women in the world at that time _ and he replied..........."yeah buddy but she`s the wife"

'I’m big and I’m loud and I never let anybody know what I'm feeling. Sometimes it’s so difficult…I..I really like you, Halo'
'I like you too, Toy. You’re my best friend'
'Sure. Best friends. That’s what I meant.'
Halo Jones - Book Three.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

'Take that you Palace Pikey'......Eric Cantona....

The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.

Wonderfully evocative opening line of The Go-Between.

 

[Bry Nylon]

"Lead, follow or get out of the way. "

The final piece of advice from a senior officer, given to my squad on the afternoon that we completed our basic training as firefighters. Those 8 words never failed me.

Oh, yeah. Bloody hell. I'm sweating in here. Roasting. Boiling. Baking. Sweltering. It's like a sauna. Furnace. You can fry an egg on my stomach. Ohh, who wouldn't lap this up? It's ridiculous.
Tremendous. Fantastic. Fan-dabby-dozy-tastic.

A couple from "the Thick Of It"

Malcolm Tucker: How dare you. How dare you! Don't ever, ever call me a bully. I'm so much worse than that.

Peter Mannion: Sorry darling, I have to go - I think the bailiffs are coming to take away my will to live.

'I'm sorry you won't hear any more swearing from us you massive gay shite!'
