I've just read someone say 'tight as a gnat's Arse' and haven't laughed so much in ages Grin

Are there any other goodies I'm missing out in?

I like "couldn't run a bath"
My dad used to say "fine words butter no parsnips".

A few kangaroos loose in the top paddock

What a cockwomble that idiot is

Looks like he was set on fire and put out with a shovel.
Face like a bag of spanners.
Face like a bucket of smashed crabs.

Carrying on like a pork chop

Face like a bulldog licking piss off a nettle.

Tight as a gnat's chuff.

This has lead to DH registering on various websites as Titus Arnatschuff.

"Fanny like a stamped bat" and "fanny like a shocked hippo" are a couple of my favourites.

My late best friend had the shits once, he described the sound of it as "like a load of old shoes falling out the loft" 😁😁

«A load of old shoes falling out of the loft» Thanks for that, a glass of good wine wasted, it’s all over the table....GrinGrin

If either me or dh look miserable we ask the question
'Why do you have a face like a depressed cod?"

It comes from a Shooting Stars Jack Dee joke that we'd been misquoting for years, its supposed to be grieving cod but depressed cod has stuck with us

Couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo
A face like a bulldog chewing a wasp

That’s aged like a fish curry… works really well in some very specific scenarios

He's two stops past Dagenham (ie. Barking)

DoctorTwo · 09/08/2021 20:47

It ain't exactly rocket surgery.

SquirryTheSquirrel · 09/08/2021 20:47

Is it not do bears shit in the woods?

I think it's an intentional joke, does the Pope shit in the woods; are bears Catholic?

@JovialNickname hahaha

Can't believe you've said that as I thought I had made this one up (merging the two other ones together )

NCkitchen · 09/08/2021 20:50

As dry as ghandi's flip flop

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 09/08/2021 20:50

@pantherrose Surprisingly accurate, innit? 😁😁

Wetter than an otter's pocket

SweatyBetty20 · 09/08/2021 20:55

“Short arms, long pockets” said my Lancastrian late Dad when I dared to bring a Yorkshireman boyfriend home. He wasn’t my boyfriend for long.

AgentProvocateur · 09/08/2021 21:01

Shaking like a shitting dog.
Face like a melted welly.

Said about someone a bit daft

pantherrose · 09/08/2021 21:29

@ BeautyGoesToBenidorm Yup, best one yet and I’m still laughing! With observations like that and a great sense of humour, he must have been a joy to be around !

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 09/08/2021 21:32

@pantherrose There was never a dull moment! He was the most glorious thing, a 7ft tall Labrador puppy of a man, with English as a second language and the funniest command of it I've ever heard 😂

@BeautyGoesToBenidorm
Wine to him and Wine to you for posting - I shall never think of the trots in the same way again Grin
