We've just been to see the movie "Despicable Me"
In one scene the antihero Gru goes to his bank to get funding for his latest nefarious scheme.
The sign out the front proclaims "THE BANK OF EVIL" and underneath in smaller writing "formerly Lehman Brothers"
I LOL'd
I wasn't actually quoting Churchill was I. Because he was talking about something completely different.
So I haven't misquoted him.
But I modified his original quote to make MY case whilst pointing out that the original was his.
Happy now?

If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
