Something in the Game

I saw this, the move of paint-balling and Laser Quest turns to real life soaking of Water Pistol Games.

This brings a new meaning to street warfare and keeping yourself undercover
The thrill is in the chase I guess

A Thought for the Reader

Weird Tales on BBC Radio 4. A chilling series inspired by H.P. Lovecraft stories of magical rights and forbidden law. Locked away, Lovecraft is looking for new stories, new blood to add to his monstrous collection...
--------------------------------------
"Here I am, in this room...locked in or locked out, huh, they don't tell me...am I alone? ... is poor Mr Lovecraft alone, don't feel sorry for me, I belong here with my book, my book of stories. Listen, can you hear it, I hear the world turn, I hear it turn on its axis, grinding...sparks fly up and I catch them, what are they those- sparks. They are the stories of poor suffering humanity, (haha) and they come to me whispered through the key hole...so many stories, I write them down in my big bad book, and this story it came to me through the scratching and the scrabbling of the rats, the rats from the other place, the far away place the rats that now live in the walls, under my feet in the floorboards, listen to them and they will tell you my story too...

...Well that's how the story finishes, me closing the book...I try and shut them up, shut them all in, they're pressed within my pages, that's how it finishes, that's how everything finishes. Good night."

Quote Unquote

Based on the ideas of "Quote...Unquote" including some of there ones, presented by Nigel Rees.
---------
A place for the most quotable people:

Sid Waddel: "If you had to throw a knife at your wife in a circus, you'd want to throw it like that"

Anne Scott-James: "All families are dysfunctional" AND "Whom did you ever hear of, who did anything with there lives, who had a happy childhood".

Barry Russell (Lecturer who always began 1st year lectures on enlightenment the same way): "Because you are here and because you are a student, you are part of the enlightenment, its not history, it's now"

Brian Shields who always said: "he wouldn't buy a round if a shark bit him." AND "You'll talk the leg off an iron pot" ALSO SAID "I can't do anything right now, I'm as busy as a centipede skipping".

"The main thing with each of those was that Jerry produced some really nice, strong sketches, and I went off with some styrofoam and a kitchen knife." Mark Fisher (Stage Designer) Talking about Gerald Scarfe's (Animation Designer and Director) drawing of characterures and how to make them for the performance on Pink FLoyds stage show of The Wall.

Slogans and Tags by organisations: The North East of England is promoted with the interesting slogan: "Passionate People, Passionate Places" but a similar quote has been spotted on The Office of the Commissioner for Public Appointments in Scotland: "Passionate about people, passionate about public appointments." (26th June 2010 "Quote...Unquote" Radio 4.)

"People who are too beholden to work become like erasers: as they move forward, they leave in their wake no trace of themselves." (Yann Martel, 2011.)

Dave Howard (2011) on new commuter 'friends':
Just ride the subway to hear people's stories of New York rats.
"They're everywhere, " says one traveller.
"You'll see six of them just waiting for the train," says another.
(Do they dress for work and carry briefcases, I wonder!)

"According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word 'snapshot' was originally a hunting term." (One Hour Photo, 2002).

"It's squeaky bum season" Sir Alex Ferguson. When the tension of a match or a season makes you bum squeak in the seat.

Spike Milligan apparently talked about a young man named Wyatt, whose voice was exceedingly quiet. This was followed up by a man called Colin Pierrepoint who made up this one:
"Their was a man who went round the bend, his lymerics just would not end, it wasn't his fault they just came to a halt."

My name is Harry Palmer... (The Ipcress File, 1965)
