The Best Sayings Ever

Don't put it down, put it away!

A favourite former boss used to say "Don't piss on my back and tell me it's raining".

And from my MIL "Nice doesn't pay the rent"

You are never boring Phoenix

Absolutely not! For you phoenix like Bruce and the spider - If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again.

Thank you Elegran it's appreciated.

I know that I'm not to everyone's taste (neither is/are Marmite, Brian Sewell, jeggings, Lidl's cinnamon whirls or the sublime Misere thingy as song by Kings College Choir) but annoying, irritating bloody exasperating, fair enough, I'll go along with that, but hey ho, some people's boredom threshold might be a tad on the low side.

Perhaps they spend time exchanging correspondence with Stephen Hawking, Brian Cox and the spirit of Leonardo da Vinci, and let's face it, who could possibly compete with that line up!

Do Lidl do those cinnamon whirls too? Drool... I've wrecked more than one diet with the Ikea variety

Phoenix you are not boring you have an excellent sense of humour and I admire how you have coped with the stress of the last couple of years.
Gransnet is a good place for sounding off and getting support when we need it. Do keep posting when you can.
Limerick challenge may not be possible during the day though.

Nothing is boring; people are bored.

Some people at any rate.

Dust is a protective coveing for furniture.

Sod the nasties phoenix, keep pleasing the nice ones (I've just made that one up - could you tell?)

Always fight your own battles

It is a sign of maturity.

My Nans saying if we went crying to her after a scruff with another kid.

There is always two sides to a story.

Listening to just one side shows narrow mindedness

It takes two to tango

My granny: 'Worse things happen at sea'.
This was supposed to make us feel better about some disaster!

phoenix. You are never boring. Your spirit and humour have carried you through a very trying couple of years. Good luck to you and keep on posting.

PS Why did you have to tell me about those cinnamon whirls? I'm getting a bit bored with hot cross buns...

After catching up with posts from yesterday I am now in need of cinnamon whirls for my elevens's so emergency call to DD as she makes her way down to my house to do a stop on the way.
You will be well gone by now phoenix but enjoy your day.

If we are still in sayings mode how about "If the cap fits, wear it"?
BTW I was not aware that phoenix had named any names so I hope this is not going to descend into "he said/she said" troublemaking. There are indeed two sides to every story.

Phoenix, your posts, rhymes and tales of the tabbies and other feline friends brighten my day.

Ana mickle is a wee bit and mickle is a lot.

Oops, forgot I was only on p1!

No * muckle* is a lot!
