"Work is the curse of the drinking classes."

For the French speakers...

"La haine attire la haine."

"C’est l’histoire d’un homme qui tombe d’un immeuble de cinquante étages.

Le mec au fur et à mesure de sa chute, il se répète sans cesse pour se rassurer : “jusqu’ici tout va bien, jusqu’ici tout va bien, jusqu’ici tout va bien”.

Mais l’important c’est pas la chute, c’est l’atterrissage."

There are a couple that I like:

"It is not the mistakes you make that define you as a human being, but how you pick yourself up afterwards" (probably paraphrasing it a bit)

"Some days you are the statue and some days you are the pigeon."

And from the bible (I think):

"Treat unto others how you yourself would like to be treated."

[Trav Le Bleu]

"Getting A Paragraph Out Of Him Is Like Pulling A Piano Out Of A Pond" - Winter Passing(Film) Very Apt considering I have sat at my desk trying to find the motivation to finish one on my University units and cannot gain focus to complete it!

[Raw Dykes]

And from the bible (I think):

"Treat unto others how you yourself would like to be treated."

This is the Golden Rule. I think it does appear in the Bible, but it's much older than the Bible.

"An early example of the Golden Rule that reflects the Ancient Egyptian concept of Maat appears in the story of The Eloquant Peasant, which dates to the Middle Kingdom (c. 2040–1650 BCE): "Now this is the command: Do to the doer to cause that he do thus to you.""

I was watching football on ITV a few years ago. Can't remember who was playing, so I'll just throw any names in. Andy Townsend was commentating on a replay, maybe a penalty shout, and he said this, "Look at this. (Terry) is literally up (Henry)'s backside."

LITERALLY!

(He certainly wasn't, by the way. That would have made the front pages, I reckon.)

The claim that the Titanic ( if that is the reference) was ever considered “unsinkable” is a complete myth.

It being called the “unsinkable ship” made for a better story after the event .

Contrary to what seems to be the belief that anyone who questions the events of 911

and/or the JFK assassination we don’t actually buy into every single conspiracy theory.

But in saying that, there are a few strange events that surround the Titanic (or the Olympic)

Paddy the Pig’s story is indeed quite interesting, but at worst any conspiracy in this is probably no more than a big insurance scam that went spectacularly wrong, albeit a very tragic one.

911 and JFK are far more disturbing.

If a fat bloke comes into your bedroom in the middle of the night asking to empty his sack , throw him out !

That reads like a really bad Google translation. Do you seriously get taken in by this stuff or are you on a wind up?

I said in my post that I don't really buy into it, and I just posted that as an example of what was being said about it

[Guesty]

Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

Winston Churchill
