First of all last weeks answer. The quote was:
“It wasn’t easy”.

The first answer I got was from hotcaffine:
I just said it when i looked at the beetroot jar i had spend two years solid trying to open. The person who had wanted it opened had died two months earlier but damn it i was going to open it!
I win cause you can’t prove i didn’t say it 5 minutes ago!! :p yeah i out smarted the quote game!! [hotcaffeine]

Slight flaw in your logic, there. As I cannot prove you did not say it, I obviously did not know you said it. Therefore, I cannot be quoting you. Therefore, you do not win.

These werer not the next two answers, but they were the next two incorrect answers hence the reason that they are going in here. They are from Karma Girl:
Not so fast, Polter-Cow. It might also be a quote (in fact, the title, which is a quote…honest..) of a 1978 documentary directed by Nico Crama, about the half-million Dutch-origin Canadians living in Canada today, and their contribution to Canadian society. 45 mins, 54 secs long. [Karma Girl]

And:
It might also be from the contemporary praise/worship song, ‘It Wasn’t Easy’, made popular by CeCe Winans. [Karma Girl]

Now, while I am not suggesting that Karma Girl is making this up, as I had never heard of these before, I was not quoting them. Besides I do not quote titles as it makes things too easy.

Polter-Cow contributed this:
Blur, “Song 2”
“I got my head checked (shaved?)
By a jumbo jet
It wasn’t easy
But nothing is”
Woooooohoo! I win again! Hee hee hee hee… [Polter-Cow]

Polter-Cow is indeed right. (And the first line is indeed checked.) However, Polter-Cow is in breach of rule 7 which states:
7) Only William the Bloody (as comp organiser) has the right to tell people if they are right or wrong.

Polter-Cow declared himself to be the winner, not me, and I suspect that this put people off entering themselves (well, except Karma Girl). As a result (and to prevent future repetition of this) I hearby disqualify Polter-Cow’s answer, and therefore, there was no correct answer given to the last answer. And in future, if something like this happens, the offending note will be deleted (which I don’t want to do, as it will be the first note I have EVER deleted).

OK?

This weeks quote:
“As it happens I’m very much human…”.

You have, as always, 1 week.

Will
