I'll go to foot of ours stairs - to me this meant "that's something of a surprise to me"Fur coat and no knickers-- well that sort of "mutton dressed as lamb" , definatly a slur on a ladies's character :-[ :o :o :oYou do not hear these sayings much these days ???
Go and play up you own end. That was a common cry from adults when we were kids ;D
sorry - is there a limit to the length of posts? 'It' wouldn't let me continue.So to carry on. Things you'd rather not hear...11am flight Heathrow to NC. On-target for an 11am lift-off. Plane starts to slowly move away from the Airport terminal. And stops. An announcement is made that a leak of hydraulic fluid has been seen from the "front end"so we were going back to base for the engineers to take a "look-see" Whew! Glad that was spotted, I thought..And so the minutes pass. And an hour goes by. And then some more minutes. Finally, two hours later the 1st Officer makes his announcement as we start moving off again - "Well folks I can tell you that the engineers have said that, apparently, they've got it fixed." Apparently? APPARENTLY? A-BLOODY-PARENTLY?But then the chief pilot come on with an amended statement, the A-word this time omitted ;D ;D ;D
Kea - She often prefers not to listen to me but to talk at me. ::)
Kea - I have a sister who tends to react a little "unexpectedly". At the age of 50 you'd have thought she'd given up jumping up and down on the spot to get her own way. ::)

At the age of 50 you'd have thought she'd given up jumping up and down on the spot to get her own way. ::)This reminds me of a friend who often says quite outrageous things to make himself feel superior (well this is my interpretation anyway). His family emigrated from Britain several generations ago and he said to us (who were hosting him at the time in Britain!), that everybody with any sort of 'get up and go' had long left Britain and those that are living in Britain now are a bit quaint, backward and timid. He did not even realise that this might just be a bit inappropriate? Whilst helping me dry the dishes - did I say he is a nice and helpful guy ??? - he proceded to tell me how much more hygienic my dishes would be if I had a dishwasher and everything would be washed at higher temperatures. In the garden, after offering to help, he told me that my composting is all wrong too and in his home in Texas, it is done a different way. He even offered to send me instructions, so that I could learn how to do it properly ;D. Needless to say he disapproves of most things we say or do that is different to his ways, whilst somehow trying to remain a friend who would (probably) give his last shirt for us. There's nowt as queer as folk!
