Me neither Steve Martin When choosing between two evils I always pick the one I haven't tried before Mae West There are a number of mechanical devices which increase the sexual arousal of women, a Ferrari is one of them P J O'Rourke A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove you don't need it Bob Hope All I ask is a chance to prove that money won't make me happy Spike Milligan A secret is something that is only repeated to one person at a time Robert McCrum |

Re：QUOTES Date Posted：2026-10-29 07:00:32Copy HTML October 28, 1940
Italy attacks Greece. Mussolini ignores recommendations from his generals & Hitler a moves his armies from occupied Albania into Greece. The Greeks pushed the Italians back into Albania in just over a week & the invasion was a total failure. Add the British sneak attack on the Iti naval base at Taranto. |

Re：QUOTES Date Posted：2026-10-29 12:26:17Copy HTML Somewhat of a puzzle this one. It still comes across as a reccie mission rather than an actual terror attack. One of those involved took fright it seems and rang the police himself once he realized what he'd got himself mixed up with. Still sticking with that eh? It's what the available evidence would suggest, at the moment. |

Re：QUOTES Date Posted：2026-10-30 08:28:57Copy HTML Example of getting his way; Trump is on the stump in Kansas. That's the Midwest for you Limeys & the heart of farmland. He promised an $8 billion package to lower the price of diesel fuel which tractors run on, but only if his Republican candidate wins the upcoming election. |

Re：QUOTES Date Posted：2026-10-30 08:35:50Copy HTML His rage and pathetic whining will be something to behold once the results are in. I expect he'll test the limits of his powers even more in his last two years. Numerous Executive Orders will be issued each increasingly desperate and irrational. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re：QUOTES Date Posted：2026-10-30 12:52:19Copy HTML Patrick Stewart was great in Star Trek, the Next Generation, one of my favourite TV shows. Elke Sommer died on the same day too. I remember her as the love interest in the 1971 film Zeppelin.
