Erm, blush, yes he's not bad, is he?

LOVE THEM! Forgot them!
In honour of the tart's knickers (a classic) - how do you tell when an Essex girl comes?


She drops her chips.

(I am allowed - all the in-laws live in Essex)

My grandfather uses "Love a duck," which I am trying to teach myself to use.

Cheryl, I'll bet you are fun as heck to hang with!

I was in a nursing home / care center awhile back and this extremely old angelic looking woman kept screaming ad nauseum, son of a bitch, son of a bitch, son of a bitch….you get the idea. Anyway, my mother looked at me and I at her, and she said, “From now on I am going to practice saying only pretty words.”

My son is rather fond of telling me to “put the hamster back on the wheel.” It was funny the first couple of times he said it to me.

And my favorite, a friend of mine once asked me in reference to a picture of Einstein that I had hanging in my office, “Einstein, hmmm, he was kinda brainy wasn’t he?” Then he said, “I never claimed to be the sharpest or brightest crayon in the box, just one of the prettiest.”

Love these Cheryl what about:-

about as funny as an asthma attack

he's as camp as a row of (pink (optional)) tents

well I'll go t' foot of our stairs (said in a mock rural/yokle accent to express sacastic mock shock)

I'm sorry you seem to have mistaken me for someone who gives a shit!

About as popular as a fart in a spacesuit

As welcome as a cat in a dogs home

a post script to the above :-
I have heard your voice and I must say it sounds nothing like Alan Rickmans, yours is a lovely soft SE accent that makes you sound younger than I know you are ( is that a backhanded compliment?)

Cheryl said...

Blimey Joe 90, did your brainy-specs fall off?
No - that was far too far from backhanded. Thank you, but I felt safer in the old chatrooms when you wound me up for being cockney, innit, guvna!
Trust me, I can do Attilla the Mum and I can beat the pants off Red Dwarf's Holly.

And maybe I shouldnt have said it quite like that....

Oh, I really like the first one. I need to introduce that one into my vocabulary. One of my favorites is "catching Zs" for going to bed or sleep. --> The Zs refer to the supposed sound of a person's breathing (snoring even) when they are asleep.
