Some quotes: “Baseball is 90% mental and the other half is physical.” “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” “It’s déjà vu all over again.” “We made too many wrong mistakes.” “If you don’t know where you’re going, you might wind up someplace else.” “It gets late early out here.” “I always thought that record would stand until it was broken.” “Even Napoleon had his Watergate.” “Pair up in threes.” “The future ain’t what it used to be.” “Slump? I ain’t in no slump … I just ain’t hitting.” “Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t come to yours.” “It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility.” “A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.” “He hits from both sides of the plate. He’s amphibious.” “You can observe a lot by watching.” “I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four.” “Never answer an anonymous letter.” “It ain’t over till it’s over.” “I never said most of the things I said.” Edit: Oops - wrong forum	BBCmicro (15761)
1408809	2015-09-26 03:31:00	There are some great one liners there. “I always thought that record would stand until it was broken.” You missed the one "No one goes to that restaurant anymore - its too crowded"	Digby (677)
1408810	2015-09-26 09:25:00	"No one goes to that restaurant anymore - its too crowded" Yes that's a good one :) I like the one "It ain't the heat, it's the humility" It reminds me of the Texas politician (Hightower or some name like that) who accepted an award and said: "I am filled with humidity"	BBCmicro (15761)

The iconic rugby commentator is stepping away from the mic - read the most absurd and hilarious quotes from the legendary Murray Mexted. "Andy Ellis - the 21 year old, who turned 22 a few weeks ago" "He scored that try after only 22 seconds - totally against the run of play." "I would not say he (Rico Gear) is the best left winger in the Super 14, but there are none better." "Well, either side could win it, or it could be a draw." "Strangely, in slow motion replay, the ball seemed to hang in the air for even longer." "There's a couple of Hores on display tonight" (the brothers Charlie Hore (Highlanders) and Andrew Hore (Hurricanes) playing on opposing teams) "As you know, I've been pumping Marty Leslie for a couple of years now." "You don't like to see hookers going down on players like that." "This game is a white wash, but the All Blacks are black, these no white teams!" "I haven't had a knee operation on any other part of my body." "He's looking for some meaningful penetration into the backline." "Spencer's running across field calling out, 'come inside me, come inside me.'" "I can tell you it's a magnificent sensation when the gap opens up like that and you just burst right through." "I don't like this new law, because your first instinct when you see a man on the ground is to go down on him" "Darryl Gibson has been quite magnificent coming inside Andrew Mehrtens, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of the same today." "There's nothing that a tight forward likes more than a loosie right up his backside" "Its all tied up at 14-13" "Trapped like a shag on the rocks" (RWC07 Georgia vs Argentina) "He ran like a bat" (RWC07 Georgia vs Argentina) “There’s lots of hooters over here Nisbo.” "He who hesitates......is lost." "Both sides are here to play rugby." A Sky TV producer was conducting a sound test before the last Springbok test at Carisbrook... "Murray can you hear me?....Murray can you hear me?" Murray: "No." "The turf here (Newlands) never took properly and it isn't very well rooted...in fact you could say it is rooted.....did I just say that?". (N.B. rooted means something similar to screwed, a root in New Zealand/Australian slang means sex) "Paul Tito looked like a blind man in a brothel, just left groping." "The lineouts of course are a great artform, I've always fantisized about lineouts, even in my sleep sometimes..." "Well it was a great kick. We know Matthew Cooper's got tremendous rhythm now, he's smooth, smooth as a baby's bum... By Joves, that didn't slip out did it?" "It's very easy to be exposed as an open side (flanker) if you don't have your mate up your backside" "Well it still does it for me, the tingle up the spine, the tingle in the loins" "Isn't that an interesting scene, the two coaches, Nick Mallett and John Hart. By Joves times have changed haven't they. In the old days they'd be punching each other in that position." - (The two former coaches of the respective South African and New Zealand rugby teams were shown seated together in a grandstand). After a 2005 British & Irish Lions series match, talking about referee Stuart Dickinson, Tony Johnson states "Stuart Dickinson had far too much to say in this match", then Murray replies "Stuart Dickinson's a bit of a dick, I think" "And he kicks it with his left-handed foot" Eleven minutes into the Wellington versus Canterbury game 2009 Murray announced "There's a lot to happen in this game yet" :thumbs: I caught this one a month or two back. I'm not sure it came from our Murray, but it sounds as though it was indeed a Mextedism: "You should never go down on a player when he's lying on his back on the ground"	WalOne (4202)
