What's it got to do with sisters? Did you pull their pig tails?

Sisters are habitual teasers Heather and I copped many a flogging because of them, Oh just remembered Dad Yelling " Don't hit your sisters you will give them breast cancer " !!!!!!

"Worse things happen at sea." - appropriate after pretty well any disaster or misadventure. Mostly right, too.
As in:
"I've just spilt a glass of water."
"Worse things happen at sea."
and:
"I've just buried the axe in my left foot."
"Worse things happen at sea."

"The proof is in the pudding"
"just up the road"
"He's stirring the pot"
"that's pushing s*%# up hill"

Some good ones there Dave
My old man was a tough old rooster but I can tell you we kids behaved ourselves ( well most of the time ).
I can still remember when i got caught drinking in the old pub out at Kabra, I had to get home quick cause the bloody copper knew dad and said he was going around to tell him what I was up to and i was just hoping i could get there first.
Mind you I was 20 at the time.
As dead a a dead dingos donger is my favourite.

My old Mum would warn us off any woman she didn't like by saying ''She's a real Mrs Harris Mrs Higgs''....I think it alluded to 'her' being a gossip.
