“Have you noticed that almost all the change in the world goes to women...” — A. A. Gill Quote

“Have you noticed that almost all the change in the world goes to women? When was the last time you had a five pence piece? Exactly. In a Christmas pudding. All the rest of it is in women's handbags.”

“A cravat has to be approached with consummate self-confidence and a devilish nonchalance. A cravat has to be grasped by a man who knows how to treat a cravat.”

“Shorts are silly. Men in shorts are silly men. And silly is the very worst thing a man can be.”

“I stone got crazy when I saw somebody run down them strings with a bottleneck. My eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and I said that I had to learn.”

“Before Christmas, I host a party for our kids and all their friends. We love to make a mess while decorating gingerbread houses.”

“I do have a family, and I do have friends, and so-called friends, and acquaintances, and many other people I see only around Christmas time. Maybe they could vouch for me. Maybe they could testify to my existence and save a part of me that thinks I'm no better than a bag of potato chips.”
