NAME THAT SHOW!

1. “READING ISN’T AN OCCUPATION WE ENCOURAGE AMONG POLICE OFFICERS. WE TRY TO KEP THE PAPERWORK DOWN TO A MINIMUM.” ~ JOE ORTON

2. “THE WORLD IS AN OYSTER, BUT YOU DON’T CRACK IT OPEN ON A MATTRESS.” ~ ARTHUR MILLER

3. “MASTER OF THE HOUSE, QUICK TO CATCH YER EYE, NEVER WANTS A PASSER-BY TO PASS HIM BY.”

4. “TURN THAT OFF! I WON’T BE LOOKED AT IN THIS MERCILESS GLARE!” ~TENNESSEE WILLIAMS

5. “WE ALL ARE BORN MAD. SOME REMAIN SO.” ~ SAMUEL BECKETT

9. “MARRIAGE IS HARDLY A THING THAT ONE CAN DO NOW AND THEN – EXCEPT IN AMERICA.” ~ OSCAR WILDE

10. “WHERE’S THE SENSE IN BEING PROUD WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT MAN, AS A SPECIES IS NOT VERY WELL CONSTRUCTED PHYSIOLOGICALLY, AND IN THE VAST MAJORITY OF CASES IS COARSE, STUPID AND PROFOUNDLY UNHAPPY TOO?” ~ CHEKHOV

11. “ I KNOW THAT YOUR POWERS OF RETENTION ARE AS WET AS A WARTHOG’S BACKSIDE BUT THICK AS YOU ARE PAY ATTENTION MY WORDS ARE A MATTER OF PRIDE.”

12. “ONE SHOULD NEVER TRUST A WOMAN WHO TELLS ONE HER REAL AGE. A WOMAN WHO WOULD TELL ONE THAT WOULD TELL ONE ANYTHING.” ~ OSCAR WILDE

Add your message here

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
