I haven't read C+P, but it sounds plausible to me, anyway. Ooh this
mailing list is *so* erudite.  I bet the influence of 19th Century
Russian literature *never* crops up on the Shed Seven list.  Is there
a Shed Seven list?  What a fantastic thing it must be.

There's also the line "Look at it this way / You could either be
successful or be US", which maybe gets at a similar thing.  Sometimes
I wilfully mishear it as "You could either be successful or be arse",
which I quite like too.
