Re: Wise Sayings..?
I've never tucked my shirt inside my underpants, the very idea is anathema to me. Does this mean I am not to be trusted? This has always seemed a little arbitrary and unfair somehow.
What do we make of the assertion that "The best way to a mans heart is through his stomach", when Lily Savage claims, contrarily, that "The best way to a mans heart is through his back with a bloody big axe!"?

Re: Wise Sayings..?
But not as strange as the platypus. Is there any evidence that Giraffe's and Aardvarks indulge in unnatural sexual practices? And if there is, what would the possible outcome look like?

Re: Wise Sayings..?
I could never work out "I want never gets" and "Them as don't ask, don't want". Get out of that one!
Also Granny Morris had a wonderful expression for cross-eyes - "Skenning like a basket of whelps". God knows where that came from. |

Re: Wise Sayings..?
These sayings just reinforce our belief in the south that northerners are weird!!!

Re: Wise Sayings..?
Oh come on, Vorlon, I can honestly claim to have heard two ladies from Walworf' on the bus talking:
WL1: Did he lose his legs then? WL2: Yes. Same two as Douglas Bader. Weird or what? |

Re: Wise Sayings..?
Dahn the Walworf Road, goin' dahn to Peckham .....
Will now collect all the odd sayings I have heard down here, and we Northerners can laugh at them. Anyone who eats jellied eels and that horrible liquor stuff (green gravy) has to be weird! |

Re: Wise Sayings..?
I'm wondering what that man was doing with Douglas Bader's legs.
How about "Never fly a kite in a thunderstorm" ? Oh yes grannie, it's chucking it down out there I think I'll go and fly my kite.
