    There are known knowns; there are things we know we know.
    We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.
    But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know.    		 ”

    —Former United States Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld

    Not 100% sure it was Lady Astor who said that to Churchill but it was her that  said:
    " Mr Churchill if you was my husband i would poison you!"
    Churchill " Lady Astor if i was your husband i would take it !"


    of course there are 100z of Churchillisms and the great Groucho Marx (only Marx that made any sense) one of many:

    "i had a wonderful evening, but this wasnt it "


     more Groucho " i can remember Dorris Day before she was a virgin "

    Dizzle I liked your point and I was joking too. That's why football fan forums are fun. We all come from the same SE  London piss taking background and have chosen to follow our own local team rather than celebrity London teams. We're a great little community.

    In the 1988 Vice Presidential debates one of the greatest put downs of all time, by Lloyd Bentsen to J. Danforth Quayle (a man who couldn't even spell potato) who had made a reference comparing his experience with that of President Kennedy when the latter was in the Senate:
    "Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy, I knew Jack Kennedy, Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine.  Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy"

    Last night ""The only thing required for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." by Edmund Burke came up while my son was playing.

    And they say these games aren't educational

    It comes with famous quotes like that when you die (or it did on MW2).
