The All New Quote Of The Day Thread

I did not tramp about London in the rain shoving unread leaflets through disinterested letter-boxes, one small atom in the maelstrom of activity that resulted in the despatch of the New Labour terror from office, in order to continue to be lectured by charities and government officials about the amount of alcohol I swallow. I'm sick of it – the lecturing, not the alcohol.

At a meeting of an EU committee on agricultural policy a delegate from France was extolling the virtues of a particular practice adopted with great success by farmers in the north west of his country. He commended it to other nations, who he believed could also benefit from “la sagesse normande”.
