    Quotes

    After reading Gonebarouqes quote from Groucho Marx I could think of nothing better than a quotes thread. I know there was a famous one about a city council having to make do with Bach as second best. These quotes can be from any walk of life, not just humorous.

    Groucho Marx again. - If you were standing any closer to me you would be behind me.

    Have to admit he is probably my favourite composer.

    Spike Milligan to Harry Secombe - I hope you die before I do. I dont want you singing at my funeral.

    I'm sure we can all think of somebody this should apply to --
