Sometimes I play this game to myself just to make a little novelty out of the day. Sometimes it is informative and intellectual, others it's just down right funny. Below is my favourite quote for today well two actually, what's yours?

[Concerning Avril Lavagne via the BBC's The Most Annoying Pop Moments... We Hate to Love: Episode 4]

Paul Morley : 'The whole thing with that improvised text language use in her songs is like the equivalent to that of Elvis Presley doing his sneer or Jimi Hendrix burning his guitar, save she did it for seven year old's.'

Simon Price, Music editor, Independent on Sunday : 'In the old days, mobile phone tariffs were high, texting was incredibly awkward. So people improvised to get their way around it. Nowadays, phone tariffs are cheap, we have predictive text messaging. If people have no command over the Queen's English, then they should not be let outside of their houses unescorted.'

I do quotes every day, my roomie thinks i'm insane.

For today i went with: "It's like trying to fix a bike. In motion. Naked. While a neo-nazi is riding it."

Don't know if any of you are old enough to remember this:

Earlier on today, apparently, a woman rang the BBC and said she heard there was a hurricane on the way; well, if you're watching, don't worry, there isn't

In awe I watched the waxing moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an ambered chariot towards the ebon void of infinite space wherein the tethered belts of Jupiter and Mars hang forever festooned in their orbital majesty. And as I looked at all this I thought...I must put a roof on this lavatory. - Les Dawson (R.I.P.)

I don't remember the quote or the storm but I remember that a lot of trees in Lyme Park had been knocked over. I'd have been about five :p

I walked 3 miles home during it. Winds gusting to 70 mph. After a night out partying and completely pissed. Woke up in the morning with Mum asking about the storm and how I got home. I replied, "what storm?"

:drink:

Been reading a couple of P J O'Rourke Books recently so here's a few from him:

A hat should be taken off when you greet a lady and left off for the rest of your life. Nothing looks more stupid than a hat.


Every government is a parliament of whores. The trouble is, in a democracy, the whores are us.

Plus my favourite:

There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz 380SL convertible.
