Quotes, I think, are fantastic. I only wish I had the brains to recall them at the appropriate times. Often when I do try to recall them, I misquote them and completely lose the point - but nevertheless I still love them. This is a selection of some of my favourites...I will add to the list as and when hear more good ones. If you know of any real crackers - please email me at martin@littlefatwelshman.com
