When visiting my parents, who are both old enough to have done Latin at grammar school, if Stav Danaos is doing the weather forecast, I can't resist saying "Timeo Danaos et weather ferentes!"
After the Brighton bomb an old woman was vox popped for TV news and she said how bad everything looked "what with the miners strike and everything". To this day my best friend and me say this about any trivial disturbance and it gets funnier over time.

This has to be a future piece for SUQ !
