Sayings

A platitude is worth a thousand tea towels.
Lol I actually have no idea what that means! Is it a bit like "a bird in the hand is worth a flaming bush" :confused:
 
Diet är lättare att prata än att säga något - it's easier to speak than to say something (of meaning).
Got a poster for my classroom which is covered in sayings - this is the Swedish one! :D
 
I think I may change my signature to this quotation from Mae West - who got me onto this then!! How true is this then.

I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it.
 
Whenever someone says to me,
"Oh you look familiar, where do I know you from"?
I love watching their reaction when I respond with...
"Do you watch porn"?

(anon)

I have a slightly naughty one - coined by my husband. More of a strap line for Minecraft, actually! Apologies in advance.....
Minecraft - enabling parents to have a sex life since 2011.
He, he.....
 
Ah Dolly :D

"I wanted to be the first woman to burn her bra, but it would have taken the fire department four days to put it out." Dolly Parton
 
This was on today:

"Every day I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people in America. If I'm not there, I go to work" Robert Orben

Hmmmmm...that's like the one about the elderly man isn't it? He looks at the obituaries and if he's not there, he gets up :)
 
"Every time I open my mouth, I put my foot in it".....

Always makes me laugh!

This is JUST how I'm feeling today!

"I've heard there are troubles of more than one kind; some come from ahead, and some come from behind. But I've brought a big bat. I'm all ready, you see; now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!"

Dr. Seuss

Now where's that bat? :cool:

Oh Carol, that's just wonderful! My partner's mother was from Lancashire and he sometimes does stories in her accent so I actually know what that poem is supposed to sounds like! Hah...no fee for you! :p I am going to get him to read this for me :)

Thanks for that, it takes some skills to write an accent to point how it's supposed to sound. Now MINE might be easier. I was originally from Bristol or Bristle. Still have it even after being in NZ for 32 years but I am sure I NEVER sounded like Long John Silver! :D
