Quotation of the Day for February 2, 2015
"I was forced to stagger off to bed for a nap, a fine Churchillian habit. He would often sleep for as much as an hour and a half in the afternoon.
"Unfortunately, I slept through my alarm, and awoke when it was dark, disorientated and groggy. I then spent the rest of the afternoon (or what was left of it), drinking more whisky and sodas while attempting to write an article -- a task I found increasingly difficult. When I returned to it the following day, I discovered it was barely literate with every other word misspelled."
- Harry Wallop, in the article The day I tried to match Churchill drink for drink.
