Some things in life are bad,  
They can really make you mad.  
Other things just make you swear and curse.  
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle,  
Don’t grumble, give a whistle!  
And this’ll help things turn out for the best  
And… always look on the bright side of life…!

(Just read a book about the 1982 Falklands War, which included an incident in which a squad of Royal Marines, exhausted, carrying far too much gear and soaked to the skin in a driving rainstorm, threw their arms around one another and sang “Always Look On the Bright Side of Life”).

These Germans … we’re going to show them that no British soldier will descend to their level. Anyone found trivialising this war will face the supreme penalty that military law can provide.

**Man:** I think it was, “Blessed are the cheesemakers”!  
**Gregory’s wife:** What’s so special about the cheesemakers?  
**Gregory:** Well, obviously it’s not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturer of dairy products.
