A quote made just prior to the second Gulf War, following an upbeat prediction about the war being won in short order..........
"You can't realistically expect to defeat a country the size of France in a matter of days......unless of course that country IS France!"

Wow I've been quoted! I was making a point about driving fast in the outside lane and how it is less dangerous (in the right conditions) than driving at 55 on the inside and dicing with death amongst the sleepy foreign lorry drivers.Originally posted by stackpoleOriginally Posted by gingerjedi
"Going through life worrying about what might happen is not living in my book, if I choose to drive at 100mph in the outside lane throughout my life and save myself 30 minutes a day that’s extra time I can spend with my family and its a risk I’m willing to take."
Thanks for spotting this wendy. I hope ginger's family appreciates it!
More a 'time managment/risk' quote than a 'live fast die young' one.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

"I hate people who generalise, they are all the same "
or
"yer ma's yer da and yer da loves it "
From UrbanDictionary.com
Contrary to popular beleif the term 'yer ma' doesn't actually originate in Scotland. It has been used by many 'spides' or 'steeks' in the beautiful county of Northern Ireland for many many years. As stated above, it is used in a vulgar way when in an argument, when the spide/steek can't think of anything else to say.
Generally it is used to imply that that the spide/steek has had sexual relations with one's mother... but it is usually not the case, since most spides/steeks couldn't get laid if they tried.
