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

    • There were three vans marked “External Cleaning Contractors” (or words to that effect) outside the Grove Tavern this morning, with blokes who seemed to be looking the place over. Anyone know if it’s going to be scrubbed up? Would this be an end of lease requirement, to hand it back without graffiti and fly posting?
    • the companies issue a phone click on qr code to give you guide price - however, they seem to work more on an algorithim of what works for them, so after a few books, they suddenly go 'no' until they get one they absolutely want - they buy for pence - so you need a lot of books, then they go through them and subjectively tell you the ones which are not up to scratch, but having bought also from the same company, they do not necessarily send out 'good' stock - you must pack them, they give the labels and then they collect.  I think there is room for a more honest competitor, but I am sure it is a difficult business, built on inventory and algorithims rather than buying 'books'.  Would be interested in hearing in more detail about the venture.
    • ecde, what do you mean by outdoor water?   An outside tap?  If so, where's it being fed from?  Presumably from somewhere within the building; maybe somewhere you don't have control of or access to?   Is it meant to be for drinking?
