Diamond Quote

I liked this from LibDem rentaquote Lord Oakeshott, on the resignation of the chairman (but not the CEO) of Barclays:

"The board's so hopeless they've just shot the head of the firing squad and missed the prisoner."

Greetings Idle....
I rather enjoyed the following quote from Big Bad Bob:
"Culture is difficult to define.....but for me the evidence of culture is how people behave when no one is watching."
Hmmmmm!

Greetings Farqs.

"how people behave when no one is watching"

And there was I referring to Bob and his spiv cronies as 'tossers'...

A reasonable quip. But if I were in a room with Oakeshott and Diamond, and had only two bullets left, I'd still give them both to Matthew. Just to be sure.

Agreed. One to the gonads, for pain and degradation, the next to the temple. Sayonara, Riberal Pig.

Bob, after all, has playing rights at all sorts of exclusive golf clubs that I would like to play with me chums. Pebble Beach, Augusta National, etc etc. A chap could make a tour of it. Just make sure Bob is playing in a foursome in front, or behind; one would not wish to engage in small talk...
