Game : Idioms Corner!

Consider this sentence :

Many a fine tune has been played on an old fiddle."

Can we use it in this sense - ie to generalise it...:

Many a fine tune CAN BE played WITH THIS old fiddle."

Ok, I will never change an idiom!

Logging off.
Bye.

I'm migaloo, mate - no gammon; don't know about Praveen - I think he's from India.

Hi Praveen,

This is called "Strine", which is Australian slang.


Strewth, mate. You must think I'm some sort of galah! I reckon the thread you suggest would be ridgy-didge. Maybe you should start with the sheilas, 'cos that would be about as popular as a blowie at a butcher's barbie! You'll get so much response you'll feel like a rat with a gold tooth.

Goodness me, you ust think I'm stupid! I think that the thread you suggest would be a great idea. perhaps you should start with the women because that would be as popular as a blowfly as a butcher's picnic. You'll get so much response, you'll feel like a very important person.


You mob migaloos or what? Nah...just gammon.

"Are you all white people or what? No - I'm just joking"

I'm migaloo, mate - no gammon;

I'm a white woman, friend; I'm not joking"

Quite right, Praveen. Sometimes it's fun to joke.
