He now , 'swims with the fishes.'

I think the expression is 'sleeps with the fishes'.



As in 'dead'.

You are correct, and I hate being wrong!

You should be used to it by now!

I agree, although I partly blame it on having such a vast and varied general knowledge. I got Abu Hamza and Quatada mixed up the other day.

Work in retail, you get them on a daily basis.

"if you can't deal with difficult customers, go to ellsmere port, fit car doors for a living" is my favourite of our store managers.



There's also something wonderfully funny about a Mancunian constantly saying customers will "go mad for it" (complete with a mime of someone surfing) when a new offer comes up.



"don't get mad, get even"

"be the best in town"

"if it's in the building it's on the shelf"

"customers can't buy empty space"

Get marketing on it.

if someone at work talks cobblers I just ask them if they have ever watched Father Ted. If they reply yes I say Jack talks more sense than you. If they say No I tell them watch Dougal at his best as He must be related.

how is that bollox, it's quite true







likewise both of those, make perfect sense in a retail environment.

Are you his boss??
