[sandyRoe]

I'll go to the foot of our stairs.
Never could see what it meant.

[Bobbisox]

Mr cupids is i dont boil my cabbages twice .

[Prudie]

'Well slap my thigh and call me xxx'. I've no idea where this comes from

[Bobbisox]

Everything is hunky dory, what's that all about ?

[lozzer50]

dont come running to me if u break ur leg!

"
cupid04 Mr cupids is i dont boil my cabbages twice ."

What a perculiar expression! What does it mean? He doesn't mice his words?

[factor-fiction]

"You know what thought did..."
When I then ask what 'thought' did no-one is sure ( except for a few who say it was something to do with following a milkcart )

[factor-fiction]

Don't boil my cabages twice- I've never said it but I understood it to mean "I don't intend to repeat myself"

[sophie_1003]

"How d'ya like them apples?!"

[Wrongn3mber]

Aha, thanks for the translation factor30, still sounds a bit weird.

[Frank97]

When my mother can't remember somebodys name she calls them "Oojicklepip". Not if their around of course.
No idea what it means or if that's how it's spelt.

Gordon Bennett - no idea who he was/is, or what his claim to fame is/was but it sounds good

[cupid04]

To wrong3mber.

Factor30 guessed right. Don't boil your cabbages twice means don't repeat
yourself. It was one of many weird things he can recall his gran saying!
Aren't old people wonderful?

I only open my mouth to change feet!

I hate "cheap at half the price" being used to suggest that something is a bargain. Yes, it might be cheap at half the quoted price but, as things stand, it's still bloody expensive!!!
GRRR!!!

[askyourgran]
