All over it like a fat kid on a donut
Fits like mum and dad
Aren't there any mirrors in your house? (to people with bad hairdo's or bad dress sense)
You don't have to be dead to be stiff.
Stiffer than a honeymooners richard.

Dry as a limeburner's boot
Dry as a horse's fart
When in a state of misery I like a quote from "the Magic Pudding":
It's worse than warts, it's worse than corns to bare. It's worse than having several quarts of treacle in your hair.
When someone really gets up my nostril:: How would you like the ribosomes stripped from your endoplasmic reticulum?!

"show me your friends and I'll show you your future"
An old Irish immigrant that lived up the road from me said that to me when I was young bloke. Still makes sense :-

Every choice has a consequence - Choose carefully, if you burn your Rce then you will have to sit on the blisters.
If you turn the other cheek - it simply means you get belted twice.
If you find yourself in a hole - stop digging.

Our family motto "I Wouldn't Do That If I Were You"....
Our coat of arms is a pair of crossed hammers, rampant, above a bloodied hand with a nail through it. :(

..and from my childhood
"It's all very funny until someone loses an eye", and
"There's some in the thing on the mantelpiece"
neither of which have been particularly useful.:no:
