Five favourite quotes.

[BC'er]

Only five? There's a book about that; though I don't recommend editions after about 1960.

 

[Amplidyne]

I like the quote from the front of Nevil Shute's novel "Trustee from the Toolroom"

'An engineer is a man who can do for five bob what any bloody fool can do for a quid'

 

[MikeJhn]

Best book on the subject is "Honourable Insults"

 

[Sachakins]

Walk gently,
Speak less,
Listen more,
Be courteous,
Carry a Magnum 44.

 

[skeetstar]

Isn't a magnum cartridge a .44? .45 is ACP.

 

[paulrbarnard]

Isn't a magnum cartridge a .44? .45 is ACP.

I like the Almond Magnums but would want a whole one not .44 of it.

 

[Inspector]

Isn't a magnum cartridge a .44? .45 is ACP.

The 44 Magnum most common but there is a 45 Magnum too.
