I do have a favourite saying, and it does get used a little too often (judging by the rolled eyes of the lad), but I can't remember it :eek:
Must be having a senior moment. I'll call back after my next cup of coffee.

I always say to my kids,
"it's all fun and games untill someone looses an eye" not sure where that one came from
or
It's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick
really not sure where that came from
or
My customer service approach, ring Telstra they care!!
Having children and a social worker for a wife means all my good saying have been forgotten or had to be forgotten because i get in trouble for swearing around the kids.

"Dial 1800 somebodywhogivesa****"
"Handy as a hip pocket in a singlet"
"Does a ducks asre pucker when it power dives?"
I have some others which are Non PC more or less in relation to various countrys, the origins and parentage of individuals concerned and, in so far as the Duck goes....its grammatically not pretty.

Busy as a one armed paper hanger with crabs (didn't know that paperhangers were fishermen).
A couple we used to use in the Pubic Service TIFI (singular) and TEFE (plural).
Up and down like a brides nightie, no idea where that came from.
And the one that will be deleted for not being PC, the indigenous tribe who lost a court case to reclaim heaps of land in Vic became known to some as the Rorta Rorta tribe.

One my Dad used to like:
"He's got as much chance as a one-legged man in an @rse-kicking contest."
One of my favourites:
"Slick as a rat with a gold tooth."
And, of course

"More holes than hay" .. originally spoken by a young farmer after falling into yet another crevasse in the haystack while trying to retrieve a bale of hay, now used to refer to any object with holes
"Intracranial lead suppository" .. when someone annoys
"lonely neuron syndrome" .. when someone is being thick
"yards of petrol/water/bolts/parts" .. used to refer to anything but length. A businessman/mechanic I worked for used it as a common term when describing stock on hand for repairs.cheers

"Ugly as a hatful of @rse'oles"
This is one of those wonderful, uniquely Aussie expressions that combines a vivid, graphic description with a very unlikely circumstance. Love it!Driver of the Forums
