My favourite quote from Wilde is "we are all in the gutter but some of us are looking up at the stars"

'Where there's a will there's a relative'.

"Cool - - never goes out of style"

Elvis Presley

"Drunk as a lord"

Every man has his price. Mine is $3.95

"Beware of Greeks bearing gifts" 5 5 5[/quote

One related Prem, "Beware of Greeks with 3 pensions and multiple ops".

Wilde again, on his drinking habits:

"A little bit too much is just enough for me."

He's as much use as a one-legged man in an arse kicking contest.

He does not know ;''come here, from sic-em''

He wouln't know to pour water out of a boot, with instructions on the heel.

He has never done enough to determine if lazy is a fit discription of him.
