It's Pouring With Rain

[Bazile]

Someone advise me the other day that it was 'pouring with rain'

errrm , what else would it be pouring with - neat gin ?

What other 'odd' thing have you heard anyone say ?

[Retrochic]

oh don't get me started ;-) 'hand-cut' chips - 'oven baked' -'pan fried' and the ambiguous 'home cooked'

If you don't stop crying I'll give you something to cry for.

A regular one from my Mother.......

[ummmm]

And mine, Eccles, although she never did.

I've hear people say, whilst taking something out of the freezer, "I'm going to unthaw this in time for supper".

One that struck me yesterday - peeling an orange. Surely you are depeeling it? If you were peeling it would you not be putting the peel back on?

(Feel free to pick holes in my logic.)

Reminds me of Miranda when her mother says things like "what I would call a handbag" or such comment and Miranda would reply it is a handbag Mother.

'For free' seems to be common parlance. It drives me mad! 'Get it for free'. You see and hear it everywhere.

Hopping mad I should think.
