      Keith Miller, Australian cricketing great and Word War Two pilot, putting life in perspective when asked about the pressure of playing Test cricket:
      ''I'll tell you what pressure is. Pressure is a Messerschmitt up your arse. Playing cricket is not.''

        Hi Harry - I'm sure the great South African golfer Gary Player would subscribe to that. Upon being labelled a lucky player, he countered:
        ''The harder I practice, the luckier I get.''

          "Women are like pianos. Some are upright; the rest are grand". I don't know who came up with that one and it's not very PC - but quite funny IMHO.
          I won't always agree but I'll try not to be disagreeable.

            The fun is very much in the non-PC... a variation of this being "Men are like tiles. If you lay them properly, you can walk all over them for years to come"

            The Keith Miller story reminds me of an actual quote of my grand dad who served in the German army on the eastern front in 43/44. He became a diesel mechanic after the war and used to say: "if you can fix a tank engine in a minus 40 degree blizzard, while being shot at, you can do anything..."

                  Just added "March on boys".

                      Somehow reminds me of the Johnny Rotten version of that Neil Diamond song.

                        Different versions exist, but here is one.

                        "I never made a mistake in my life, though once I thought I had, but I was wrong."
                        Regards, Jon S.

                          Use that one a bit.

                          "I thought I made a mistake once,however I was wrong".

                          The look on peoples' faces makes it very worthwhile.

                            My version is

                            I thought I was wrong once.
                            Turned out I was mistaken.

                            There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

                              Just slip it into an "appropriate" discussion. Real understated casual dead pan.

                              Works well with medical staff,doctors,nurses.

                              Don't you love it when you go to the reception desk and are asked "How are you today?" AARRRGHHH!

                                I recall Clough's response when asked if he thought that he was the best manager in the world:

                                "I'm definitely in the top one."
                                Regards

                                Sir Herlock Sholmes.
