It just came to my attention, the other day, that we've a boat named after him.

What the F*CK are we doing with a destroyer named after a BRITT?!! :rotfl:

1) i have no idea

2) as mark of respect one RN person is assigned to this ship permanantly from commission to decommission.

One of his quotes:

"What is popular cannot be good because not enough people are qualified to judge."

Can you substantiate that Churchill is the source of that quote?

What is this, a trial? I was reading up on a Churchill site and pulled it off the site. What else do you want?

Yes. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect 200 dollars.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="What+is+popular+cannot+be+good+bec ause+not+enough+people+are+qualified+to+judge"

Not really, which is precisely why I asked.

I just put that in exactly to google as you have it listed out and Google came up with a page that says this exactly:

"What is popular cannot be good because not enough people are qualified to judge."
The foregoing idea may be attributed to Alkibiades, Heinlein or Winston Churchill, depending upon your choice of philosopher.

So I think you can

I saw that, too.

That is my point. Is that your idea of substantiation?!

BTW, I'm not nitpicking. I don't think it's the kind of thing Churchill would have stated, unless it's taken out of context.

Thank you in that you provide a reason now instead of just saying - you care to substantiate that? Why?

Anyway, no. I heard that before somehwere which is why I wrote it. The idea that I am not the only one and you could find it in a search even should start to give you an idea that it must have been said somewhere at some point. There is always the possibility that he never said that, but that is not what I understand.
