Lol I actually have no idea what that means! Is it a bit like "a bird in the hand is worth a flaming bush"
 
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!
 
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.

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?
 
Love it!

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! 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!
