    This one from a ride up north:

    "I want my money back, you called that the cliff of death but look, I'm still alive"

    "Look, just because we call it the cliff of death, doesn't mean death is assured, you still need to put some effort in"

    Classic from the manager of our pub football team -

    "Ref!! Fer f**k sake ref, he's all over him!! Like a tramp on a kipper!!!"

    Or my current favourite - some people are like "Slinkys" - boring and useless at a standstill, but really funny when you push them downstairs.

    And -

    In god we trust - the rest of you keep your hands where I can see 'em!

    Pendulo-anatophobia: The irrational fear of somehow getting your testicles caught in the cutout of your anatomic saddle.

    'It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle'

    This applies very well to bikes:

    I just watched No Country For Old Men again this evening and Woody Harrelson has a great line, something like:

    "Did I say sit down?"
    "No, but you look like a man who wouldn't want to see a seat wasted"

  • This was overheard at my local hospital. I only came in on the end of this conversation but it did make me wonder
    " I went down to the mortuary as you suggested but nobody down there could tell me anything"

    A long term favourite quote is from the late and great Warren Zevon, my rock hero
    " I can take you to the golf course every day...but I cannot move the f****ing holes

    A continuation of the above quote that I had in conversation with a mate.
    Mate: "If there's grass on the wicket, lets play cricket"
    Me: "What if there's not?"
    Mate: "Well... it's too late by then anyway"

    If there's grass on the wicket, you should speak to the groundskeeper. There should not be grass on the wicket.
