Supersonic Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Hi PW'ers I'm not suggesting you post your favourite FAMOUS quotes (AKA Winston Churchill & Betty Boothroyd) but ones you have experienced personally that you will never forget. Here's my 2 ...... Two of my favourite quotes are both little known and happened on the same day when I was on 216sqn in the early nineties. We were in Nairobi with a broken aircraft so had a few days spare and as a crew decided to go on safari with a guide. We came across some feeding elephants and a young lady on the crew (whose nickname was Zulu because she was an hour behind the rest of the world) suddenly questioned the occupants of the jeep "are those African or Indian elephants?" Quote number 2 came at the end of the day when we were back at the hotel enjoying a cold beer. My best mate (to this day) who had been clicking away all day with his expensive Canon camera confided in me "I wish I'd put some ******** film in this thing this morning" Priceless!!!

digger Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 On a boys jolly to Bournemouth a couple of years ago we went to the sea front on the saturday after a couple of swift ones. Leaving the amusement arcade and going out into the glaring sun my mate exclaimed at the top of his voice " Im going to the end of the pier with Dave and when I get there Im going to toss him off ". I swear the beach erupted in laughter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 I remember the saying 'You never get a second chance to make a first impression'. How true!

alexr Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) A favourite from time spent in Japan. When ever we were offered something to eat that looked as if it had fallen out of the wrong end of a donkey with dysentery, or worse still as if it had come out of a Victorian jar where it had spent the last 100 years steeped in formaldehyde, it was always described as “ delicious, like sushi “. Sad thing is I do like sushi ! But colourless, brine pickled vegetables, or tiny squid that squirt ink when you try and pick them up with you chop sticks, or clear noodles that have the same consistency as phlegm, or something that looked and had the consistency of a Stadler eraser , a form of prepared squid I think ( and that was just for breakfast ). All were as delicious as sushi Edited March 10, 2010 by alexr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexr Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Another family saying is ‘Floydien cookery’. It’s a phrase inspired by the late, great Keith Floyd. This involves trying to drink as much wine as you can whilst cooking a family meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanibaby Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 A while ago, my good friend Cat was describing her lesbian encounter with another of my friends, Sam... "When I went down on her, all I could think about was how she has the exact same ***** as me! It was like I was going down on myself, it was very confusing!" Apparently the resemblance is uncanny.
