Just a bit of fun
Has something or someone made you angry or annoyed lately?
Then let off steam here.
Here`s the first one to get this thread started.“you are about as much use as a handbrake on a boat.”
I`m sure there must be some regional variations we could all learn 😉
Merry Christmas
Regards

A favourite of mine: you are about as much use as a one legged man in an arse kicking contest….

Another one: Useless just like a chocolate fireguard.
Re: About As Much Use as……….
here’s one for the pot
There was an engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all things mechanical. After serving his company loyally for more than 30 years, he happily retired. Several years later, the company contacted him regarding a seemingly impossible problem they were having with one of their ‘state of the art’ washing machines.
They had tried everything and everyone else to get the machine to work but to no avail. In desperation, they called on the retired engineer who had solved so many of their problems in the past. The engineer reluctantly took the challenge. He spent a day studying the machine. At the end of the day, he marked a small “x” in chalk on a particular component of the machine and stated, “This is where your problem is.”
The part was replaced and the machine worked perfectly again. The company received a bill for £500.00 from the engineer for his service. They demanded an itemized accounting of his charges.
The engineer responded: “One chalk mark: £1; knowing where to put it: £499.00”
