A New Topic To Tackle :shock: ! "Robinisms," defined as particular sayings, phrases, & etc., original, or not, from our favorite 8-) , that are profound :idea: , intriguing :geek: , or just downright hilarious :lol:, in context , or not :roll: , past or present, filmed, or not.........

Beginning with one appearing in a recent article that I just can't get past :lol: ! While speaking about not getting the long overdue :shock: respect The Bee Gees most certainly deserve.....

8-) Nobody ever says, Mozart? That's so 1780s :!: 8-)

:idea: :geek: :lol:

They might have in 1810 And in 2300, the Bee Gees might be considered classic by everyone, not just a few enlightened people

"THANK YOU, I NEEDED THAT!"

In response to some uhh, rather euphoric fans in Dubai! :lol:

Swoooooon!!!

Hmmmm.....wonder who that may have been????!!!!!! :P :P..... any guesses??.......LORI????!!!!!!!! :P

Here i a Robin quote from his appearance with his brothers on the Bingo Wall of Death on MTV "Danny Boy plumbing...the pipes the pipes are calling". :P

for once im innocent....(my quote not Robins)
anyway,im not too keen on his quotes,so this is an educational and looks like a fun topic!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Is this available on film anywhere!?!

I know it was on Youtube once, but I can't find it anymore. :? But I remember another Robin sentence from that show ... "Five quid and all the tea I can drink" when asked how much it would cost to have him photographed (or painted?) naked.

One of my favourite Robinisms is "I'm an enigma wrapped up in a mystery" 8-) which I heard him say in a BBC interview.

1) :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

2) :idea: :shock: :?

and quite recently while on the subject of songwriting.....

8-) Melody has always been important and emotions are as perennial as the grass. Put those two together and you have something magical. 8-)

"I don't want to be airbrushed!" :lol: :lol: :lol:

From that same Bingo Wall of Death! :lol:

edited to add: still looking for that link for ya'll! :?

Somehow I just knew, Lori, that you would not be far behind :lol: :lol: :lol: !

Waiting for the link :P :P :P

I too love that second quote!

so um....anyone know how much 5 quid is in american dollars?ive got plenty of tea...

:lol: :lol: :lol:

:shock: I feel like having a deja vu ... Didn't we see this very remark once on the old forum? ... I suggest we call it a Sparkinism ... :P

It should be recalled that Sparki keeps tinsel with her tea

well yes tinsels a given you know....and i dont think anyone answered my question the last time...how much is 5 quid..

Although anxious to see the MTV presentation, as we all love "Robinisms (fiction, or not)," sparki, I think your 5 quid would be more wisely spent by contributing to the Bomber Command Memorial via the Heritage Foundation! Or, any one of Robin's other numerous :shock: charities .

In recent print, another quote attributed to the very wise one that we admire, as he was emphasizing his dedication to family, while admitting to "tantalising fiction" in the past:

8-) Life, he observes, is often more prosaic than rumour.......and people in the film and music industry are often perceived as larger than life. But the reality is pretty boring. Most of the time, real life is just sitting at home, as I'm doing now, enjoying a cup of tea. 8-)

So, sparki et al, not to dampen any enthusiasm :shock: , there is still the sitting down and buying them numerous cups of tea option , all the while soaking up all that Murphy/Gibb wisdom!

They set a fine example of a family that learns and grows in addition to giving of their immense combined talents 8-) !

P.S. Back to edit :idea: ! Perhaps, Dwina could sketch her beloved (or both 8-) ), in full pin stripes and blue tie, no airbrushing, for charitable purposes! Even if the original were out of our reach, its rightful place would be in the National Portrait Gallery, perhaps, there would be the typical artistic greeting card copies :shock: !?!

id love to have tea with them both,and thats a great idea of yours!however i still like my ideas...well im all woman,and i can have my fantasies you know!

Sparki, five quid are about ten Us dollars, that should be affordable. Now the question just is how many tea Robin can drink ... :lol:

Right, sparki, I guess that this topic will just reveal Robin in all his glory :shock: ! Funny, sexy, sensitive, family man, advisor to Prime Ministers and Princes, wise, greatest among men, person that makes us love and admire him even more :shock: !!!!!

hey thats cheap..so when he says 5 quid, i wonder if thats per client or can i have company(the naughty corner of course, i think the red couch would do...)

Sparki, maybe you better find out first whether the price still counts ... everything is getting more and more expensive. :P

Bethany, a portrait of Robin for charitable purposes is a great idea indeed ... and maybe Robin could even do it himself, as he has already given proof of before ...



Another Robinism ...
"I think that´s human nature that when we get something we want, we wanna keep getting it."

Sparki, maybe you should negotiate a subscription.

Here's one that I especially like:

"The real world was just too real, and we didn't want to be a part of normal life. We wanted to create a magical world for the three of us. "

I've always especially liked this one because in creating a magical world for themselves, they made magic for us!!!

This thread is just totally awesome!

Whenever I have *Robin Gibb Live* playing (which is usually daily lol), I have to replay one part about 20 times before I can go on. :lol: It's the part where Robin is talking to the audience and he says, "Thank you, Spain!" (because of a cool sign some fans had)....and then he tilts his head, grins, raises his eyebrows, and points and says, "Espana!" I JUST LOVE THAT!!!!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

a subscription huh?not a bad idea...

How true :idea: :shock: !!!

What a guy :P :shock: , these are all just splendid!!!! What do you think, though, Avalanche, in the National Portrait Gallery :? ........

Ok, Bethany, for the National Portrait Gallery version Robin should maybe elaborate a little on his style ... although I find this selfportrait strikingly resembling: very slender figure, few hair, long hands and feet ...

I guess if he added a blue tie :? ?

From the "Talking Shop" article on RAF Bomber Command Memorial:

8-) Growing up these people were heroes to me. They were seen as the guys who won the war, and the war had to be won. Our backs were against the wall and we could have been occupied any day in this country. And these guys risked their lives. 8-)
