Famous quotes containing the word arse:

    It’s no go the picture palace, it’s no go the stadium,
    It’s no go the country cot with a pot of pink geraniums.
    It’s no go the Government grants, it’s no go the elections,
    Sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension.
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    My arse contemplates those who talk behind my back.

    It’s no go the Government grants, it’s no go the elections, Sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension.
