Favourite quotes

[The Don of Croy]

From the mouth of a business colleague - a sharp cookie and ball of nervous energy;

"If I'm wrong - then my cock's a kipper and it's fish for tea"

"Bent as aholes" - referring to his XR3 valve stems after cambelt failure

"Ask our friend (a trade debtor) if he's ever been fked in daylight - I'll be passing his gaff tomorrow morning"

As printed on a business card handed to a debtor - "I'm something of a bullstter myself, but sometimes I like to watch a true professional at work"

Advice to a customer to negotiate a better deal from a dealer "...talk to him like a dutch uncle..." which I take to be a reference to plain speaking.

And if you ever borrowed anything from him "Remember that's got a back to it - back 'ere"

However, the standout favourite is from my elder brother, when taking tea with our grandparents one Sunday and Grandma offering the Dundee Cake to Grandpa "Piece of cake, Jimmy?" to which bro interjects "Cinch, Paddy.."

And my least favourite quote is that one Kevin Costner issues in Field of Dreams "Build it and they will come" which has been used far too much imho.
