As happy as the rabbis cat -

Clues - think:
- Duties of Rabbi, particularly with jewish boys
- What happens if the Rabbi's bin is overflowing already
- And the Rabbi happens to have a hungry cat

That's just gross, and worse, it's not funny.

F**k I'd forgotten that one (dont know how). In my previous employ, I had a member of staff who used that at least once an hour and even had a fricking buckle with it on:thumbdown::ohmy:

Before I got married to my DH we were living together (for about 10 years!) and I used to refer to him as my "live in lover"... when I wasn't calling him "Him indoors"

Some of my personal faves from the bint.

"I would like..." (= I will have)
"Can we just go to see?" (= It'll take two of us to carry it)
"Can you spare a moment of your life..?" (= Drop everything)
"When's your bonus due?" (= Bang goes my bonus)
