Famous quotes containing the words british, hasty and/or pudding:

    The trouble with tea is that originally it was quite a good drink. So a group of the most eminent British scientists put their heads together, and made complicated biological experiments to find a way of spoiling it. To the eternal glory of British science their labour bore fruit.
    George Mikes (b. 1912)

    For he could coin, or counterfeit
    New words, with little or no wit;
    Words so debas’d and hard, no stone
    Was hard enough to touch them on;
    And when with hasty noise he spoke ‘em;
    The ignorant for current took ‘em;
    Samuel Butler (1612–1680)

    That trunk of humors, that bolting-hutch of beastliness, that
    swollen parcel of dropsies, that huge bombard of sack, that
    stuffed cloak-bag of guts, that roasted Manningtree ox with
    the pudding in his belly.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
