Trying to find something that tests the brain - provides a few laughs - and gives lots of folk a chance of guessing the answer - I hope this may amuse you all  Find an alternative way of describing a proverb or well known saying (something most people will have heard at some time in their lives). For example: Antony, Gordon, James and John made some vile soup! = Too many cooks spoil the broth OK? Winner posts next! x Tig What do you make of this? Rockslide covered in bleach |

Oh God, that is the worst part! I'll have a ponder No matter how many times Mary asked her husband to hang up his clothes instead of putting them on the floor, he didn't get the idea until he found them all in a black bag at the back of the house. |
