My friend Dave in the pub:
"I've seen the dark side of hashbrowns"


***
"I want to see hedge-fund managers tipped into cage fights with naked Gypsies; bank managers wrestle with lions in the O2 arena; failed regulators thrown to alligators in the Royal Docks; short sellers in pits of snakes; and distinguished City economists try their luck with sharks. They've had their heyday, their bonuses, their Porsches, their fine wines and oafish ostentation - they've had their fun. Now for ours."

Austrian technology expert who founded company in Germany:
We're actually just industry spies. Once we have figured out how to steal Baden-Württemberg we will bring it home to Austria.

Me: The whole of Baden-Württemberg?

Expert: It's only a small state!

1990, while working with my crack-addict colleague in a fabric store before she was fired.

Colleague: Do you have any kids?
Me: Nope
Colleaugue: While I wish you did, then you could tell them what to do instead of me!

That one stuck ....(eventually I just had to have kids Wink )

Housemate and her young man:

E: Oh god, I'm going to have to not swear all weekend!
D: You're from the Northside, you're screwed.
E: Bollocks.

You are a Leprechaun. I'm not even sure what you are. Whiskey-soaked reports from your baffling Isle of Ire raise more questions than they answer. Are you a dwarf? Where's your pickax? If you're an elf, why don't you cobble? You'd think with all your gold, you could invest in some land, perhaps a title, and improve your station. Instead, you hide it in meteorologically-determined locations. You're getting killed on inflation, little friend!

The thing about writing articles is that people automatically assume you're the person to ask about...everything.

Woman: Where can I get the new George Soros book?
Me: Er...let me check...yes, it's available over all regular bookstores in this country and over Amazon.
Woman: No it isn't! I called Amazon yesterday and they didn't have it!

(10:34:11 AM) ladyk: Ooo, my mortgage company just called
(10:35:07 AM) ladyk: They didn't even bother to ask why I was late, they just asked if I'd made the payment.
(which i have)
(10:39:06 AM) xtrapwr: I think at this point, most mortgage companies are happy with "I can still pay, and am trying"
(10:39:31 AM) xtrapwr: as opposed to what everyone else is saying "sorry, I'm broke, and already moved out ... have fun with foreclosing my now worthless house!"

Interview with the biggest government owned property company about letting artists reside temporarily in unused buildings before they are sold:

Press rep: And then there were those baracks in Bruckneudorf where we finally carried the guy out by his feet.

Me: Why?

Press rep: Because he was an idiot?

Me: Cool, can I have an official statement on that?

Press rep: All right. Everything I say now is on the record: And then there were those baracks in Bruckneudorf where we finally carried the guy out by his feet because the asshole wouldn't leave.


I love this guy.

Cousin, on subject of his mother's falling through the ceiling due to lapse of common sense:

Man say, don't walk on floor. Woman walk on floor. Woman fall through floor. Moral of the story - Listen to man!

My new boss, to my old boss:

'That tie looks like you just threw up over yourself'



"What should your role be? In that station to which God has called you, be who you are Madam. That is to say the person in relation to whom, by virtue of the principle of legitimacy, everything in your kingdom is ordered, in whom your people perceive its own nationhood, and by whose presence and dignity the national unity is upheld."

-- General de Gaulle to Queen Elizabeth II, 1960
