this thread has given me definite insights to sides of LitNetters I never knew about!
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
Well, stick around and you will hear things that will make your hair curl. Just ask Prendrelmick.
Another conversation between Chuchill and General Montgomery over the general fitness of our soldiers: Monty: ' I do not smoke and I do not drink and I am 100% fit ' Winston: ' I smoke, I drink, and I am 200% fit ' The sun will never set on the British Empire
My favourite, but not generally repeated for obvious reasons.
Churchill was attacked in what was termed "unparliamentary language" during a debate in The House of Commons by a member of the post war Labour Party majority. He refrained however from responding in the same mode. The then PM, Clem Attlee regarded the incident as out of order & instructed the errant MP to go to Churchill's home at Chartwell & apologise.
He duly arrived and was instructed by the butler to wait in the drawing room while he found Mr Churchill.
He located him in the toilet, knocked gently on the door and said: "Mr Churchill there is a Mr ----- here to see you".
Churchill's response was: "He will have to wait. I can only deal with one **** at a time."

Eh chuck, she is that.
Hilda is a British icon but, it has to be said, Stan was well better looking.Rollers!
Thats true. Young Great Grandpa Prendrelemick survived the Crimean war in much the same way, as immortalised by Tennyson.Parody on Shakespeare: now the youth of Scotland are afire and silken kilts doth in the wardrobe lie, time to put on our manly harness and head on the other direction. That is why we Scots won our freedom, wear out the enemy by running from them. Believe me it works every time.
Half a league, half a league
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the five hundred and ninety nine.

Sleep, who needs it?
Ah, I'd forgotten the joys of the sleepless nights - waking up at 3 am and getting to go on the internet!
I knew there had to be one good thing about it.

Meanwhile at Lords.
I hope the boy Strauss knows what he is doing, not forceing the follow-on.
