    [QUOTE=lord bunberry;5981167]Bobs your uncle. What’s that all about?[/

    In 1887, British Prime Minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecil appointed his nephew Arthur James Balfour as Minister for Ireland. The phrase 'Bob's your uncle' was coined when Arthur referred to the Prime Minister as 'Uncle Bob'. Apparently, it's very simple to become a minister when Bob's your uncle

    Never really heard that one.

    Is it not "cheap at twice the price", which makes sense?
    'Cheap at half the price' is just verbal filler, that people sometimes say when they've had a quote which they're not objecting to.

    When they are objecting to a quote, they'll maybe ask you to 'sharpen your pencil' even if your quote was verbal, or in ink !!!!!!.

    It is what it is

    That's one an ex-colleague of mine used to say a lot, knowing it annoyed the hell out of our manager! One day he finally snapped!

    Colleague: "Well it is what it is"
    Manager: "No it's not!!"
    Colleague and I: Well if it isn't what it is, then what is it?

    Maybe you had to be there.

    “Brexit means Brexit”
    Does it really?

    That saying has now morphed into the even more ludicrous...
    “Get Brexit done”

    "There's nothing worse than.....". Normally used in connection with something mildly irritating at most.

    I was going to post this previously. I worked with a guy who used "nothing worse" as a reaction to any minor complaint. Someone had a splinter one day and he said "nothing worse". Of course there's something worse; they could have been impaled by a 20 foot tree trunk.

    On the subject of minor things, it’s funny how people react to minor injuries. If you break your leg and are off work, everyone accuses you of milking it, but if you get a paper cut, everyone will sympathise with you.

    “If I’m being honest” is another one.

    So is everything you say not true?

    To be fair, a splinter in the eye does sound painful.
