# Here's a
rather queer question: has anyone ever heard the phrase 'like an apple meeting a fish' before?

and have a pic to illustrate my point.

I've heard 'like a toilet meeting a combine harvester' though.

as in "Jo Brand's dress sense..."

# covered herself in glue and ran through an oxfam shop
be fair to jo, the reason she looks terrible has nothing to do with her dress sense,she happens to be a very,very ugly person.

well she is

# Sounds a bit like my Gran's classic
"It's a monkey's birthday" - to describe when it's sunny, but raining.
Silly bint.

# I've heard the phrase
"A monkey wedding" used to describe the same weather phenomenomenon - The guy who used it was south african I think.

# Hmmm...
South African you say... I shall have to quiz the old dear about whether there are any family connections to that particularly awful example of what home-rule does to these upstart colonies. I mean, really... "Dominions"? What's the point, eh? Look what's happened to 'em - South Africa, bunch of racists, the rest are criminals; Australia, bunch of racist criminals; Canada, mostly French, the rest practically yanks; New Zealand, full of sodding hobbits. Disaster. And now they're contemplating letting the Irish govern themselves... I despair, I really do...

Don't be too hard on yourself, it's not that bad. Word to the wise though, if you delete everything in the url from the ? onwards the pic'll cache on everyone's computers.
