“If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”
“the time of writing, there is only one other probiotic bacteria species that is as well researched as the two mentioned above: E. coli Nissle 1917. This strain of E. coli was first isolated from the faeces of a soldier returning from the Balkan War. All the soldier’s comrades had suffered severe diarrhoea in the Balkans, but he had not. Since then, many studies have been carried out to show that this bacterium can help with diarrhoea, gastrointestinal disease, and a weakened immune system. Although the soldier died many years ago, scientists continue to breed his talented E. coli in medical laboratories and package it up for sale in pharmacies so it can work its wonders in other people’s guts.”

“Chris Eubank [Talking while signing the contract]: I don’t hate the man, I just want his WBO middleweight title. I pray that I have enough dignity not to hate the man. Hate doesn’t come into it for me. Hate destroys the game and makes it look brutal and that’s why a lot of people don’t take to it. I don’t hate the man, I want to take the man’s title. I intend to prove I am a better fighter than the man, which I am. Nigel Benn: I personally do hate him. I personally do hate him.”

“How often do parents nostalgically reflect on their children when they were younger? It is easy to look at photographs and miss those cute, plump-faced, miniature versions of the gawky and resentful specimens they have become.”
