My head is a repository of all the old sayings my mum used when I was little and they stuck.
I only ever hear people my age (50+) using these now.
It's a shame if their use disappears completely.
I'd be curious to know whether any of the younger members of the forum know/use these.
Please share any you know.
There is a lot of wisdom in these.
A few that spring to mind immediately.
A stitch in time saves nine.
He who hesitates is lost.
Look before you leap.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Jack of all trades, master of none
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Out of the frying pan, into the fire
Youth is wasted on the young
Kill two birds with one stone.
A bad workman blames his tools
A fool and his money are soon parted
Honesty is the best policy
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Careless talk costs lives
Don't rob Peter to pay Paul
I use all 3 of these devil sayings, probably more than I should.....it can give people the wrong impression about me. But then again, not sure I care. As I ALWAYS say,
Better the devil you know.

Kylie sang that in 1990!
Ben
One year out
Kylie's first single was the locomotion

Yea, I know.....soz...
Groan..... Groan..... Groan.....
Ben... with head in hands.....
Well Ben, Especially for You......
You can Confide In Me, I believe in You, I'm just Spinning Around and I Can't Get You Out of My Head.
Magic, Number.
Number,
You're right, I'm not a Kylie aficionado, it just came into my head. I had to google for the date.
Quiz? I doubt I'd win any prizes.
Indeed......I wouldn't have taken you as an aficionado about Kylie's back catalogue.....are you good at the music quiz (Ken Bruce style) ?
