old sayings

[BevL]

Have to put some more in that my family gave me or 'my life is not worth living'
A little learning is a dangerous thing.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Between a rock and a hard place
As cunning as a sh*t house rat.
What goes round, comes round.
The most fun you can have with your pants on.
A penny for your thoughts
A few germs never hurt anyone
Trouble is I have gone through most of those they told me, so I hope they come up with some more.
Bev

Built like a brick sh*t house

[fizzix]

one of my father's favourites when one of us kids complained 'it's not fair.....'
the response was 'life's not fair get used to it' very true actually 

on being a bit too clever mouthed........you're that sharp you'll cut yourself!

[Annui]

alien lady's saying about a brick sh*t house reminded me of one of my grandmother's favourites, used to describe something very shiny:

"It shines like a petty door on a frosty morning"

Translation:  petty = outside lavatory, usually it was an earth closet, usually placed at some distance from the house, for obvious reasons, up a long garden path.
