@greg I completely forgot about that one! That should really have been in there!

Glad you managed to get your list done, sorry I couldn't help further on Nadeem's classic quote. I've linked to this from my own review, thanks again Sam :)

I just can't not go for François, really did make me chuckle - esp with the google guys sitting on the front row.
Great work btw Sam documenting these, when put on the spot I couldn't remember half.

Marcus Tandler telling the audience how he might have said a bit too much to a Googler when the Googler bought him a beer was fun also :)

Great list Sam and thanks for the include in the top 10!Glad to say no squirrels were harmed over the 2 days at A4UExpo!

I agree with @nick & think the François comment by Dave Naylor stole the show and it would get my vote for #1
@geoff no worries mate, shame i wasn’t there to hear it for myself.
@Bas your quote would definitely go straight into second place! That was classic.
@ jon, thankshow could you not get a mention after moderating nearly ALL of the sessions!

I forgot a late one from Angus Hanton, "I've got balls... balls dot co dot uk"

Great quotes there, several of which I didn't hear live. Here's 2 more that made me laugh...
1) From Nadeem Azam when talking about one of his '12 biggest affiliate marketing mistakes' on day 1 :
'I climbed a hill and took photos of Sylvia Plath's grave for a newsletter. What did it make me? 75p from Amazon.'
(Mistake being to do too much work in exchange for very low commissions).
2) Tweet from Graham Keen of Buyagift: '#a4uexpo help i'm stuck in the toilet. Can somebody get me out?'
I heard rumours that security were sent to look for him just in case it was true (it wasn't).
