When asked in a radio interview, "Would you say that the barriers of the British class system have broken down?"
Dame Barbara Cartland replied," Of course they have or I wouldn't be here talking to someone like you."

No? Yes? What enemies?
Kind of your first and third answer together, so worth some points.
He said, "I don't have any enemies, I've had them all shot."
A small group of celebrities were sitting in the green room of a TV studio waiting to have their turns on a chat show.
The TV presenter Nicholas Parsons was doing most of the talking.
After a while everyone noticed that the comedian Paul Merton had been writing on a piece of paper for a long time.
"What's that you're writing, Paul?", asked Parsons curiously.
"It's a suicide note", replied Merton who had been suffering from depression.
"oh,... i..." stuttered Parsons.
At which point Merton passed him the pen and paper and said, "Sign here".

What did the Roman genius Pliny the Elder suggest "eating the heart of a black jackass, outside, on the second day of the moon" would cure ?
Weelll, technically, I suppose.hunger
But not what's written on the card.
(though it's difficult to make out in The Cold Dark Room, I'll admit.)
infertility?
Nope.
droughts?
can you tell I know nothing about history lol
Actually, it was epilepsy.
Other cures collected by Pliny the Elder for this included a camel's brain, dried and taken with honey, lightly poached bear's testicles or, in extremis, a draught of gladiator's blood.

He also suggested linen or papyrus touched between the legs cured incontinence.
Another cure for this was to knock back a glass of sweet wine mixed liberally with the ash of a burnt pig's willy while urinating in your, or your neighbours dog's bed.

What was a cream made from pig's lard and the rust from a chariot's wheel used to cure ?

Always room for you, Ed.
And there are no coiled or compact bulbs in here, guaranteed.
