    i am def. gonna start saying the 'do you want another pint'....classic :)

    The slightly more naughty version (directly stolen from Shaun Of The Dead) is "Can I get... any of you cunts... a drink?" That always goes down well ina family pub ;)

    :) yeah, I kinda got that he was being playful with his expression :)I think he was expressing his love of our subtle, playful, sometimes biting wit....it can be hard for other nationalities to grasp....cockamamy is a great word though :D
    I had a mate from Germany here for a while, he would sit in the pub with me after football and be aghast at all these fellas telling each other to " go fu** yourself...", "yeah, that's what your wife says to me..." etc, etc... he was truly waiting for a fight to break out, when it was just what we call lads being lads...taking the piss, if you like :)

    Yeah when I lived on the other side of the pond I had to rein in my natural Brit trait of taking the piss constantly ... I would be taken seriously far too often.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    "as tight as a mouses ear"
    ...Pearl Jam, a group filled with pride, passion, and intricate musicianship. Their music is full of subtle textures, rich color, soul-searching power, imagery, and eerie dissonance.

    We tend to use ... "A face like a bulldog licking piss off a thistle" also "a face like a bag of spanners"

    My fav's are the ones my Da uses:

    "happy as a pig in shit"

    or when you are angry "go pound sand up your ass"

    "Thick as a brick" to describe a dumb person

    "as useful as a stick of sealing wax"

    "Colder than a witches tit" :confused:

    "if you had brains, you'd be dangerous"

    "nuttier than squirrel shit"

    "hit each branch on her way down the evolution tree"

    "he/she has a face for radio"
    IF YOU WANT A PLATE OF MY BEEF SWELLINGTON, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY THE COVERCHARGE.
