Someone once told me, \"It was so quiet you could hear a mouse drop.\" I guess that\'s mixing idioms, though. Your 4 gave me a laugh. Liked Marc Antony\"s line best, \"Lend me you ears - You can have them back tomorrow.\" Plunk it into Will\'s play and it is a Monty Python skit. Still laughing.... - Phil A.

ANGELA here (Clinic @ 2pm) Good Mit Vok Uncle MIKE! Love the cartoon! I know what your mean I have been accosted from a CAR (BMW !) while walking in London ! I was offered ยฃ50 ! I declined and gave Him a Gideon New Testament but not my Phone Number I was 25. He thanksd me - smiled & crawled on! Only Gentlemen drive BMWs?
My fave is No 2. The famous Speech by Marc Anthony after the assassination of JC by Btutus et Al ! It behoves us all to listen more - especially the MINISTER for EDUCATION!

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours

Angela here ~ Good Tuesday Uncle MIKE ~ no Poem today BOTH too busy at Work ! Us Young ones have to earn a CRUST ! Love the idiotic IDIOMS my fave is No 3 ! I know what a APPLE CART is and how easily they are upset ! When I used to visit Sevilla in the Summer as a Child in addition to Vineyards Mis Abuelos grew Oranges & Lemons & Apples. The Apples were always ripe first and we used to pick them and put them (carefully) into big baskets ! The APPLE CART was Low & Flat & Horse Drawn. We used to sit on the Cart and hold on to our BASKET because the ground was bumpy ad we didnt want to *Upset the Apple Cart* and Bruise and Dirty the Apples which were bound for the Local Market to be sold on the Family Stall ! Its not much different today in Rural Spain ~ AMEN !
Love the Cartoon ! In essence I wear about six Hats ~ Physio - Wife - Gardener - Singer - Youth Laeder etc & so does BRIAN ! However fortunately they are CYBER HATS except the Floppy One I wear for Gardening. We have two Apple Trees but no Wooden Apple Cart just a plastic Wheelbarrow - Wobbly with ONE WHEEL ! No Poem today *MY SENSE OF TOUCH* TOMORROW !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours

Good ones Michael.

Your cartoon reminds me of a lady in the Care Home where Joyce was, that lady always walked round with three or four hats on her head.

A brush with the law - a sweeping statement?
Too big for yer boots - they shrunk the chemist!
Break a leg - i\'m fed up with being your stand-in.
People in glass houses will vegetate.
All bark and no... OUCH!

dusk arising said:

A burger in the hand is worth two weeks sick pay
Never put off until tomorrow that which you can get someone else to do anytime
A fool and his money parted at the casino
Dont count your chickens till the waiter brings desert.
People in glass houses shouldnt throw nude parties.

I\'m enjoying your remodeling.

Angela here - A Blessed Sunday Mornin* to yer Micke me Boyo ! Thanks for Cartoon & SMOIDI !
I know a good Irish Catholic Joke about Brothels - which yer Spouse might enjoy !
Two NUNS were sayin* the Rosary outside a Masage Parlour in Dublin - when a Anglican Bishop comes out *Did yer see that Hypocrit* says Sister Mercy ! Next minute a Rabbi walks in and Sister Evangeline says *Another Critahop !* Just then their PRIEST - Father Joe - comes out smiling ! *O Mother of God says Mercy - There must be someone SICK in there - lets PRAY for Healing !*

My fave was No 3. I have a great respect for

GOOD EVENING - Uncle Mike - Love the Cartoon - Looks like a Butchers in Canibal Country !
Love the SMOIDI - my fave is 3 - which is a good Mantra for 2020 - It promised so so Much and so far has delivered so Little !

There is no Time like the PAST !
Compare the TOKIO Olympics with LONDON 2012 !

Brian*s is: *Look before You ~ Go on a Blind Date !*
Mine is: *People in Glass Houses ~ Shouldn*t use the Shower !*

In for a penny, in for a pee
Two swallows dont make a full stomache
Many a mickle is a typo for pickle
Red sky at night shepherds camp fire is out of control.

Aha, good to see you are prepared for power cuts and storing firewood in novel ways. Looking forward to those charcoal pieces. (jeez i hope he realises i\'m joking... am i going too far?)

An apple a day keeps other makes of computer at bay.
Too many cooks spoil for a fight.
A rolling stone gathers crowds.

Enjoyed yours, thought i\'d throw a few back atcha.

GOOD FRIDAY - Uncle MIKE - Love the WALL(M)ART ! At first glance it reminded me of the one on the side of Coventry Cathedral ! Love the idioms my fave is No 2.
