OH I hate that saying, but anyway as said title says
its all about opinions really isn’t it?
I mean if we all liked the same singers,bands,books,comedians tv programmes etc
the world would be a fairly boring place
now I know this may sound daft but
as anybody else got any opinions on er opinions
ive got a lot more to say
but I don’t like hogging the boards
well that’s my op>>>>>>>
no stops.talking of sayings cosy…….i hate ‘see you later’ …….my first thought is always ‘will you?’
I hate it when people say “whatever”… infuriating!
yeh tinks you are right,i think we should have a thread about sayings, im sure I put an idiom thread in my best man days,or whatever I was called at the time
for instance now I would like to know where the idiom at sixes and sevens comes from
possibly French archers?
or was that the v sign?
anyway tinks you start the thread because im going on my hols for 2 weeks I fly out at 3 am
and I wont be using a comp thank god
nearly said I will see you later tinks lol
but I will be back xxxx@rogue trader wrote:

There are many idioms that are very similar between English and French which is not very surprising given where the English language comes from. One I like is that One swallow does not a summer make which is almost the same in French except summer is replaced by spring
sorry to interrupt,but ive just thought of another one
you know when people say,im not being funny but……..
you just know theres an attack,criticism albeit mild coming your way
its a way to have a “go” at you
put sugar coated
pah you don’t fool me
tell me how it really is
or don’t say nothing at all.
