    Marie Antoinette never said "Let them eat cake", she said "Let them eat brioche". I think.

    Impressionists are usually responsible for the non-quote.
    You remember it badly, he actually said "F**k the address, give 'em the phone number".

    You only remember the satirists.

    No, when he said that he just used to carry on sounding like Harold Wilson. Because he just did.

    To be fair thiugh, I loved his Brian Clough.

    I imagine the yellow bellied bit was considered too much at the time.
    But did he turn yellow at the end of Angels with Dirty Faces or was he trying to scare the delinquent boys?

    The milk one was an impressionist though this one is worth hearing.

    Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It’s perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we’ve learned something from yesterday.”
    - John Wayne in a 1971 Playboy interview
    the Casblanca one was wrong.

    Rick: You played it for her, you can play it for me!

    Sam: [lying] Well, I don't think I can remember...

    Rick: If she can stand it, I can! Play it!
    still one of the best films ever.
