Merry Christmas all, and welcome to the fourth Hox Christmas quiz. As usual I have trawled the threads for the past year and retrieved 12 quotes. All you have to do is guess the authors. 1 Point for each correct answer, and if you recognise yourself, please don't say so, let the other buggers work for their points.

So, who said:

That taught me one thing for life: it's the pretty ones that hurt you the most.

I am becoming some sort of Ribena fuelled puritan.

I like gin and tonic through a straw

The intelligentsia threw me out for non-payment of dues

They could've been happy-clappy types, although they didn't look happy and they weren't clapping.

Purgatory - where repenting believers go - like those of us who liked Harry Potter but saw the light after 'The Prisoner of Azkaban'

I like pink, fluffy bed socks.

I was sooo hoping for a smacked bottom, preferably with a stick of celery.

As long as Beckham scores the winning goal it doesn't matter whether he sits in the circle and picks nose or chokes his chicken for the rest of the game.

If you say 'Cappucino, dahling' in Newcastle you'll wake up in a crowd. If you say 'Cappucino, dahling' in Brighton you get a cappucino and a gay lover.

I unashamedly count myself as a member of the Archergirl Fanclub.

Lesbean? is that a type of pulse?

As far as I can remember, I'm only responsible for one of those quotes. '.... I unashamedly count myself as a member of the Archergirl Fanclub. ' And THAT ain't it!

Missi, you'd hate it if I were just another rubber doormat to trample all over. Let's face it, you can't help yourself: you love me. I know it. Just admit it.

Ah, you've spoiled my day now, Missi. I could just see you with a smacked bottom in pink, fluffly bedsocks and sucking a G & T through a straw. My imagination is a serious source of concern to me sometimes.

"I unashamedly count myself as a member of the Archergirl Fanclub." Liana or Archergirl?

Arsey, I can assure you that I'm totally indifferent to your chemical composition and the arrangement of your molecules. I also see that what you know is consistently inaccurate. For the benefit of Alan, I add that NONE of the quotes he alludes to are in any way connected to me.

I don't know who wrote those, but there's a lot of wisdom to be found in some of those statements. Hey, maybe we should set up a new religion.

I thought better late than never "I was sooo hoping for a smacked bottom, preferably with a stick of celery." Archergirl. "I unashamedly count myself as a member of the Archergirl Fanclub." Pepsoid "I like pink, fluffy bed socks." 2Lou "If you say 'Cappucino, dahling' in Newcastle you'll wake up in a crowd. If you say 'Cappucino, dahling' in Brighton you get a cappucino and a gay lover." have to be Mark Brown "Lesbean? is that a type of pulse?" BBF maybe "They could've been happy-clappy types, although they didn't look happy and they weren't clapping." Maybe Maddan, it's a classic though. nobody

"They could've been happy-clappy types, although they didn't look happy and they weren't clapping." Maybe Maddan, it's a classic though. Don't remember saying it, although it does sound a bit like the sort of thing I'd say. I reckon it's a trick quiz, are they all Jude?

Tim is right, the Beckham one WAS me, the rest I don't know but the'Lesbean' one was very recent and I believe was Fishy.

i' wasn' me 'The intelligentsia threw me out for non-payment of dues' I'll go with Jude on this one. Only because it's religious There's nothing more mind-teasing than the incomprehensible eagerly avowed - Dennett

I guessed one right. The Span Ribena one should've been me & I may thieve it. I think the intelligentsia one occurred on my da vinci code thread.

Here's a couple for you Mr Hox in Sox who said, "I did a journalism course once and none of the bastards could spell" and who said " This thread is doing my head in. Might as well have a leedle party right now." jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net
