ayavner Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Just for a bit of fun, kinda like the name that plane or airfield threads - I'll start us off with a quote (should be easy). Preferably without using google, put in your best guess as to the character and movie/book it came from, then you can add your own. So: "Here I am... Brain the size of a planet..."

gandalph Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Try this one, probably as relevant today as it was in 1930: "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedy." Hint: It is reportedly NOT the CASA mission statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandalph Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Nope. Sorry. Usually attributed (wrongly) to an American comedian but actually came from an English Baronet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandalph Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Sorry rgmwa. Not Sam Clemens. This guy was the uncle of a famous English politician who was chairman of the Labour party under Harold Wilson in the '70s The famous American who is most often quoted as having said that, also said "Please accept my resignation. I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member" But he stole or borrowed the "politics" quote from the English Baronet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandalph Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Near enough Red, Groucho is the guy most people think originated the quote but that title belongs to Sir Ernest John Pickstone Benn, 2nd Baronet (1875-1954), Uncle to Anthony Wedgewood Benn. I reckon the quote still stands up today. Next!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandalph Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Is it from the film The bucket list" ? Was it Jack Nicholson's character or Morgan Freeman's? Or am I way off track as usual? I know one of my very "relaxed" colleagues said it to me at a work do one night. he looked quite distressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandalph Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 One of the funniest men on the planet.

I'm sorry Phil, I'm normally right with you there on the humanist side, but when you put on a vest full of explosives, or pick up an any other weapon, with the clear intentions of killing innocent civilians - then you deserve to be the only one in that situation to die, and I'll p*ss on your grave. I feel sorry for their families (unless they've been the ones doing the brainwashing), but absolutely no sympathy for any d*ckhead who meets a messy end planning to kill others.
