Hey, no sweat Rory. According to the Oxford Dictionary of 
Quotations, the New Statesman article is the first official 
*accreditation* ... I didn't say when it was published (I said I was a 
smart*&ss!). The citation states that the saying was accredited to 
Shaw in several forms, ... but it doesn't actually appear in any of 
his published works. 

Can I say "gotcha!" ? ... ;-)
