i said this in a previous thread
whenever i have tried to get my own way at work
basically trying to go against
my supervisors instructions he/she would say to me
'thms, i could quite cheerfully throttle you' or
'thms, you are cruising for a bruising' or
'thms, if you don't move your butt i'll kick it'
'thms, if you don't shut up i'll come over there and strangle you'
needless to say thms took the hint and behaved himself
as the only other altrnative was to bend me over their knees
and give me a good old-fashioned skelp
it seems people in scotland use different figures of speech
which thanks to cameron will not catch on as a catchphrase
in the rest of the country................ or will it?
