Iused to have a FIFA Wold Cup game for the 98 cup, and it had John Motson saying "this fella couldn't hit a cow's backside with a banjo" which always made me smile >:D<

Also, "couldn't find their own backside in a dark room"

It only doesn't make sense because it's constantly used wrongly (I blame radio phone in shows) it should be and always was in my day "Cheap at twice the price"

Makes more sense now, right?

You like this so much that you mentioned this to us already, back on page 2 (Aug 07), of this very thread!!;-)

"wind your neck in", is one I like. If someone is giving out for no good reason then say that to them


I also like " ye can't beat it with a big stick" which is an extrapolation of you can't beat it, but us norn irish do like to add a bit of violence to any expression heheh

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in my posts, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money
