21:5966833I always liked Murry Walkers "Murryisms" such as:
Either the car is stationary, or it's on the move.
Even in five years time, he will still be four years younger than Damon Hill.
He can't decide whether to leave his visor half open or half closed.

22:1866842More pearls...
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge . . . mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the joy.
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD
1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get!
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.

22:3066845Tony Blair - I never predict anything and I never will do.
Murray Mexted (NZ Rugby commentator and ex player) - You don't like to see hookers going down on players like that.
The classic cricket commentary pearl of wisdom, (though neither commentator admits to it) We welcome World Service listeners to the Oval, where the bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey.

22:3866848that was the legendary brian johnston with the cricket bit.
who could ever forget that wonderful moment when ian botham was trying to avoid running into the stumps and brian stated " he is having trouble trying to get his leg over, followed by giggles in the background, brian then stifling a giggle says stop it aggers, at which point the whole commentary team collapsed into gales of laughter.

09:2466863Who cares it is still funny.
Brian Johnston was the only reason to have anything to do with cricket.
My husband would have brained me if he heard that remark, he spent nearly all his spare time watching Kent at Canterbury.
