Not a simile, but a nice metaphor from Marina Hyde's Guardian piece on
Andrea Leadson

€œI want to speak to the markets,€� Leadsom smiled, with the air of
someone who imagines you can negotiate with gravity.

And this isn't bad either.

Even the verdicts of her friends tend toward the confusing. €œShe has
steel,€� blethered Iain Duncan Smith, €œbut there is a velvet glove of
compassion.€� Oh Iain! God knows Ive learned to manage my expectations
as far as IDS is concerned. But I would like a secretary of state who
understood a basic despot metaphor before he accidentally deployed it.

a blind cobbler's thumb.

As in, 'he's hung like a ****in donkey that lad, he's got a knob like a
blind cobblers thumb'

twitching like a rabbits nose.

As in,' here we are at the Stade De Paris, four minutes to go, Portugal nil,
France nil and Ronaldo steps up to take a free kick, I bet his arse is
twitching like a rabbits nose'




not really similies....

when a fat girl goes past:
I'll bet she can part with a bonny turd

when someone does something stupid:
I don't think you could spell 'tit' backwards

I'd have guessed that a better simile might be:

a "wardrobe full of spanners falling down the stairs". :-)

Or the way of describing someone not particularly attractive as
having a "face like a bag of spanners".


I wouldn't say he was ugly but it looks like his heads been on fire and
someone put it out with a chain

Full as a butcher's dog?

[Although the time that a butcher had to have a dog to chase all the other
dogs away is long past.]

Tight as a duck's arse?

Tight as a bull's arse in fly time?

As beautiful as you are intelligent?

As rough as a bear's bum?

Still trying to locate a "laugh out loud" one.

As welcome as a turd in a swimming pool?


We had one in our local baths recently - closed for 3 days.
Must get on with something productive, I suppose.

Cheers
