5. What on earth does "I resemble that remark" mean???
I'm not having a go at you specifically, as I've seen lots of people use it and heard a few on US TV too......what does it mean?

It seems to be used as a substitute for "I resent that remark", but "resemble" means "looks like" or "is similar to", at least according to my education and all the definitions I've found.

What is going on?

P.

P.S.
Great Russell quote by the way!
