I got a telephone call from a woman asking me if I'd like a quote
I said yes so she came up with:
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts".
I said that's pretty reasonable but Swintons quoted me
"To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them.
To die: to sleep...”
The broker, stunned for a moment, said give her a minute & she'd talk to her manager.
She then came back with what she said was her best quote:
'Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour’d upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.'
And then said she'd sling in Get Thee To A Nunnery if i signed straight away, which I thought very generous & signed instantly on the spot.
Just shows what you can do with a bit of haggling.
Ps if you made it all the way down to here you can't have those 2 minutes back.
Do try to get a life and stop reading drivel
