In these days of financial meltdown, doom and gloom, I thought a little levity to help us cope as our financial futures unfold. I propose a thread of famous sayings and who said them.



I will start the ball rolling with the master Winston Churchill.



Whilst sitting on the lavatory one day, there was a knock on the door from one of Churchills aides. Sir, he announced, I have The Lord Privy Seal on the telephone, and he says its urgent.



The great man boomed in response.........



Please tell the Lord Privy Seal that....I am currently sealed in my privvy, and I can only deal with one little s..t at a time!



Wonderful humour................ Lets hear your favourites.

My favourites:



Margot Asquith, wife of British Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, was getting peeved at American actress Jean Harlow constantly pronouncing the silent "T" in her name. She responded "My dear thr T is silent as in Harlow!"



Another.



"A modest man, who has much to be modest about!" Winston Churchill about Clement Atlee.



"Sex the most fun I have ever had without laughing!" Woody Allen



My list is endless but on a more modern note:



Cookery

It has nothing to do with frogs' legs. No amphibian is harmed in the making of this dish. Nigella Lawson, explaining toad-in-the-hole to Americans

A bride on her wedding night says to her husband "I must confess darling, I was a hooker!".



He says "That's alright, dear. Your past is your past, but I must admit that I find it quite erotic. Tell me about it".



She replies "Well, my name was Nigel, and I played for Wigan!".

And now the words of the master............Rudyard Kipling.



If you acan keep your head whan all about are loosing theirs, and blaming it on you.



If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too.



If you can wait, and not be tired by waiting, or being lied about, don't deal in lies.



Or being hated, don't give way to hating, and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise.





If you can dream, and not make dreams your master,



If you can think, and not make thoughts your aim,



If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster,



And treat those two imposters just the same.



If you can bear to hear the words you've spoken,



Twisted by knaves, to make a trap for fools,



Or watch the things you gave your lifes work broken,



And stoop, and build em up, with worn out tools.



If you can make one heap of all your winnings,



And risk it on one turn of pitch and toss,



And lose, and start again at your beginnings,



And never brea

Part 2



If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew,



To serve your turn, long after they are gone,



And so hold on, when there is nothing in you,



Except the will that says to them hold on.



If you can walk with crowds and keep your virtue,



Or walk with Kings, nor loose the common touch.



If neither foes, nor loving friends, can hurt you,



If all men count with you, but non too much,



If you can fill the unforgiving minute,



With sixty seconds worth of distance run,



Yours is the Earth, and everything thats in it,



And which is more, you will be a Man my son.









Words of wisdom indeed,

While many of the wittiest omments came from this side of the Atlantic America had it's own share of witty raconteurs. None more so than Dorothy Parker the show biz critic. One actress who seemed to get the brunt of her ascerbic comments was Katherine Hepburn. She believed her to be totally talentless and once ciommented "In this film her acting ran the gamut of emotions from A to B!" Priceless. In spite of being one of the Rothschild family she was very critical of the vulgarity with which the flaunted their wealth and hence her remark "If you want to know what God thinks of money look at those God gave it to!"

Have you ever spent an evening, with a Cyprus 44 bigot?

As we all mull over, where we wish to go from here, perhaps Msg 55 can guide us.



An appeal to the moderators. You have many well decent, well meaning supportive posters, who no longer post on Cyprus 44 (they watch, but are afraid to comment.) If you need a list

you can E mail me. The few, want to turn this site into a boxing ring. I for one just do not want this!



It is your site!, it is your call! All we, the silent majority tried to do, was work within the rules you made. If I am bored by continuous argument and insults, I shall walk away, just as I would from boring company in a pub.



Yet again.........it is your call!

lovelife,



Personally, I dont have any. Perhaps we males can all feel better with ourselves, if we get a larger penis! See advert first page Viz magazine, as quoted.



I am an avid fan of Private Eye. I do not have a problem with my balls! (eyeballs that is!)

I've been watching this thread with some interest, and decided to do a little more research on the subject.

In March 1998 there was actually a global poll on the subject of the most famous saying of all time. People were contacted through the medium of the internet and asked to propose and vote accordingly.

A little know tribe in Papau New Guinea called the Korowai, who until 1970 had no knowledge of the outside world, or indeed that anything existed apart from themselves held in internal vote on the subject.

The tribal leader, happy that his people had been given the opportunity to express their thoughts was then tasked with submitting their decision.

From his tree house some 30meters above ground level, and with limited resources reminiscent of a stone age era, he emailed in the tribal decision that the most famous saying of all time was in fact:



Ooh er Mr Grimsdale.



Their winning vote remains unchallenged to this day. Their jungle neighbours, the Fukawee tribe,

Famed for being recorded as the shortest people the world has ever known are still running around in the long grass, wondering where they are, trying to get their answer through to the judges

when you think you see the light at the end of the tunnel just hope it is not the light of an oncoming train.
