Mixed up phrases...

Watching a match on TV a few years back someone missed a sitter from about a yard out and the commentator said: "he's walking away and he's hanging his head to the heavens"

Ace reporter Ian Abrahams on TalkShite:

"It will take a result of seismic proportions if Gary Neville's Valencia are to overturn a 7-0 deficit to Barcelona and reach the final of the Scottish Cup."

A bad workman never blames his tools. 

I have also recently heard... A good workman always blames his tools.

As clear as a whistle. 

I am sure its supposed to be as clear as a bell. And as clean as a whistle.... isnt it?

"You can hear a match drop". Indeed.

Biggie, are you ok mate?

I actually know someone who does that!

I know 2 people who say it. What the fuck is so difficultly about it? One a dumbass but the other is a smart mofo. Is it a speech impediment of are they just asking for a slap?

The same bloke that does this goes into the fridge to write the brands down when making a shopping list.

One time he wrote Stoke instead of Stork down though.

I don't know why he has the newspapers delivered, must be to look at the pictures in it.

I know someone who picked up Cress for someone instead of Crest toothpaste.

Also a lot of people say: first come, first serve. What suggests whoever gets there first, serves everyone who follows. It should be first come, first served! Really makes my blood boil does this one.

Off topic but this thread reminds me of something that happened a couple of weeks ago...

A few days before Martin Luther King day we got an email from HR saying something to the effect of... 
'Monday, January 18th is MLK day and the office will be closed blah blah blah...'

On reading the email a young designer I had just hired piped up 'what's MILK day?'. My boss just glanced up at me and said 'is that the amazing new designer you just convinced me to hire?'. 

Biggie. Shut up

No. 

Shall we go and sit out on the terraced!
