"See you soon".

"Yeah, see you later"

By the way, it's "You can't have your cake and eat it" which makes sense. :wink:

Listen to women gossiping and you always get something along the lines of

"...and then she turned round and said..."

I keep looking for these constantly revolving women but haven't seen any yet.

"And she said.. and I go listen...." but they don't go at all?

"Oh, I was mad. You know what I mean" Er, I think so.

And a classic amongst the young: "Can you borrow me a fiver?" Er, who shall I borrow it off?

"I told her where to get off".....???? Were they arguing on a bus?

Yeah there are sayings out there that don't make any sense.

One that annoys me is the one I hear almost daily: 'The pigeon that sat on the fence'. Eh? I mean what does that mean?

Hear that one a lot in Farnworth, usually around the Brackley Street hamburger queens on a Saturday. They'll say: "Who nicked me f-----g chips?" and somebody'll reply....."The pigeon that sat on the fence". Yep, popular one that. :wink:

My mother always used to say, after a meal, "Side the table" Now I could understand "setting it", self explanatory, but where the hell did the siding come from? Could Google it I suppose (somebody will) but I'll wait for explanations.
