I totally did not make these up. They are for serious.

TheTelf said...: A comment! All those hours of refreshing browsers rather than having sex have not gone to waste!

Is it not "You lie like a Calormene", rather than "You lie cowardly"?

Hanspan said...: It might be both. Or you might be right. I'm going on my memory of the audio recording by (the late) Sir Michael Hordern, which I haven't listened to in years.

I'm also very impressed you got the quote.

Can you place: "Lie there, vile engine of sorcery, lest your mistress use you on another victim."?

That's possibly my favouritest quote from anything ever.; 14 September 2008 at 19:52
TheTelf said...: Then you and I are working off the same source - I listened to The Last Battle cassettes soooo many times when I was a kid, so bits of it are totally stuck in my head.

I can't place your new quote, though, can you enlighten me?; 14 September 2008 at 20:09
