Yes, I love that one too. And also Spike Milligan's "I told you I was ill" which wasn't allowed on his gravestone so it had to be written in Gaelic I think.
Wonderful one! Laughed a lot! Thanks Anonymous. Another one which I think would look great on my own gravestone when the time comes: "Qui m'aime me suive" (If you love me, follow me")
Anon Braintree: I watched the last episode of the first season last night and am livid that I will have to wait God knows how long for Season 2. The actors are all wonderful, and yes Maggie Smith has outdone herself as the "horrid-yet-likable-matron". It really is amazingly done, and rivetting! The English -or at least a certain class of them- really are nostalgic of that "world", aren't they? So many books and films and series about it! Will answer your email soon!
My word, if it isn't Shaw or Wilde it appears to be Twain!

ReplyDeleteI say it, often, but am not the onlie begetter.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else have an idea?
Bette Davis has also been mentioned...!
ReplyDeleteAnother one by Twain I always enjoyed: "The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated."

Papa, I LOVE "Downton Abbey"! It is a wonderful show. Thanks! I'll have Julia return it to you in May.

ReplyDeleteThere's a 2nd series of D.A. being filmed right now and I think is due to be broadcast in the autumn.
Wonderful, isn't it!
Is Mr. Dunn still with us?
