No relevance, just a nice photo
On the phone to my sister I just heard myself saying
"... there was a lot of milking of the golden goose going on."
Fay Eh?

As my boss
once said of our MD
"He doesn't so much mix metaphors as liquidise
them"
Such statements became known as
Howardisms.
My boss would excuse himself in meetings so
he could come and tell me the latest while it was fresh in his mind.
We collected them and, when I resigned, I
typed them up, photocopied them and distributed them amongst friendly copywriters
at the agency. I may still have the
sheet in an old scrap book. (For the
children: there were no computers, email or tweets in those days - the
photocopier was king!)
Mrs
Telyn My
mum once said in annoyance
“I can hear every word you're saying - I have ears
like a hawk” ..... how my brother and I laughed.
Bentonbag On a trip, when Ferretfingers was in nursery
school, I heard one of the minders say to a well-known misbehaving child
"Well you've blown your goose now".
Fay I once said (of
someone we both know) "He needs to pull his socks together".
