Something within this forum reminded me of the sayings my mum used to say which made sense but really didn't...maybe there are some you guys/gals know ...I can start with a strange one. When you're in trouble with Mum or Dad cos you havn't done your chores, you might say "Well, I want a new bike!", they would say "You'll get a new bloody bike in a minute young man!, now do your chores!!"...hullo? whats that mean?
"Don't be afraid to go out on a limb...that's where the fruit is!"
