I love this thread.I've been in tears laughing at some of the things said.
Another one is "It's better than being slapped in the face with a wet fish"I always say this when I win a tenner on the lottery.Sad really.

Ok here is one for you that i could never figure out.


My mother who is Irish,nothing wrong with that....:)


Anyway when we were kids and we were misbehaving she used to say to us," if you dont start behaving i will put the twelth of July in your forehead"

I never did get that one.

How about the classic My mum used to shout - "SHUT UP! AND TELL ME".

Or whenever I lose anything its always "Where did you have it last!"?

My mum used to hit me quite badly when I was little and obviously I would cry and she would say, "Do you want me to do it again?" to try and get me to stop crying!
Even at three years old I used to think, "Are you stupid or something? I'm crying BECAUSE you just walloped me? The more you hit me, the more I'll cry!". I thought it was only her that said this but I was shopping in Liverpool and this woman (a grandmother, I think) just grabbed a little 2 or 3 year old, pulled her trousers down and started wacking her on the bottom. When the little one screamed the place down, what did clever Granny say but, "Do want me to do it again? I'll do it again!" :mad:. I wanted to hit HER!

On the plus side, my mother was with me and I turned to her and said, "I think its disgusting to hit a child like that and then ask if they want you do it again. How stupid do you have to be to think that will stop them crying?"

She turned to me and said ......... "I know." :wall:.

If you have 2 cars or 2 guitars or 2 electric drills and someone says "but you can't drive/play/use them at the same time".

I often think of replying:

"But think how useful having 2 brains would be. When one stops working, you could try using the other one."

BTW I have 1 car, no guitars but do have 2 electric drills which must have a combined age of 50+.
