Yes - to a Jewish father and catholic mother - they fled to London in 1938 when he was 8 - I believe he spoke no English at all when he arrived.
Damned immigrants, coming over here and taking our jobs playing other immigrants!

Oooh Man, I liked him, 'Que?' was/is a sort of catch phrase of mine. I felt for him when Russel Brand & Jonathan Ross had a go at him (never liked them really either, probably didn't help)

What was the show/skit where he appeared along with John Cleese (decades after the show), and John asked him what's the 11th letter of the alphabet...
(the joke being that, for once, Manuel had the answer)

Movie Quote Of The Day
Quote: Let's sort the buyers from the spyers, the needy from the greedy, and those who trust me from the ones who don't, because if you can't see value here today, you're not up here shopping. You're up here shoplifting. You see these goods? Never seen daylight, moonlight, Israelite. Fanny by the gaslight. Take a bag, c'mon take a bag. I took a bag home last night. Cost me a lot more than ten pound, I can tell you. Anyone like jewelry? Look at that one there. Handmade in Italy, hand-stolen in Stepney. It's as long as my arm. I wish it was as long as something else. Don't think because these boxes are sealed up, they're empty. The only man who sells empty boxes is the undertaker, and by the look of some of you lot today, I'd make more money with me measuring tape.
Which movie?
NOTE: This will be the last month of the MQOTD on very regular basis. From 2017 onwards, I will probably occasionally post one, but after 4 years of pretty continuous quotes it's time to concentrate on other things in life. So the MQOTD will not die, it will just be on a less frequent pace.

Never put boiling water and a tea bag in an insulated bottle. It takes ages for it to cool down to safe drinking temperature.

I've had a thermos flask implode on me once. I half-filled a flask with very hot coffee. This heated the air above it, and the increase in air pressure was enough to break the glass lining, causing the vacuum to implode.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That is a possibility. But I would expect the glass to have been designed to survive boiling water.

And when it does cool down, it's vacuum sealed, so you can't open it!
