Talking Favourite sayings and one liners

Just saw a post from Jood and written were these fab words:

"What rotten luck - doesn't it frost your taters"

Here's one from me:

"He/she just rips my knitting" (p!ss4d off by someone)

"Laugh like a drain" has long been a fave of mine. I've only used it once in Canada. I then spent so long trying to explain it that I decided not to bother again.

That was one of my threads and I laughed when I read it - is it a Scottish saying.

Lights are on nobody home.

Couldn't organise a one man race to a two hole outhouse.

As useless a t*ts on a boar.

Elevator doesn't go to the top floor.

Go take a long walk off a short pier.

As thick as two short planks.
