I hadn't thought I was capable of falling in love, but at last I felt like I had something to give other than a good shag or killing a bloke for someone." Pg 271.

Hey Misstay, I like this quote too, but I believe it's from At Graves End, not One Foot in the Grave. :)

I actually used something inspired by this quote on a guy from work (inapropriate to the nth degree, but we give as good as we take)
