MooN Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 "a few prawns short of a sea food salad" " bercé trop pres du mur" is my fave french one.

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 My favourite West Country farmer saying- Its as glittery as shittery. Cow shit shines when its wet so even a turd can shine, doesnt mean its something good. Suppose its a bit like “all that glitters is not gold” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Two that don't really translate into english: "Teso que nem um carapau" Translated "Hard like a mackerel", fish, specially smaller fish get stiff after a few hours from being dead. Somehow being hard or stiff like a dead mackerel is what you are when you're broke and have no money. So you would say something like "I would invite you for a beer but I'm stiff like a mackerel" My favourite: "armado em carapau de corrida" Translated into "acting like (or pretending to be) a racing mackerel", obviously a racing mackerel is not a thing. When you're acting like you're the man, the best there is, playing yourself up, when in fact you are shit, you are acting like a racing mackerel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yen_powell Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I always remember the advice given to me in the 1990s by a Hertfordshire TRF member, very old bloke, still riding about at that time though. He was talking about someone who had crashed quite hard and he looked me in the eye and said, "Remember, the trail rider who looks at scenery, liable to become part of the scenery!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yen_powell Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Upon entering a room during cold weather and not shutting the door you would hear a few different shouted comments, such as:- What's wrong with you, were you born in a barn? or Oi!!
