- (continued from previous page)Whats bred in the bone comes out in the flesh Look for trouble and you'll get enough of it
Live horse and you'll get grass.
Better be an old man's darling, than a young man's slave.
There are two sides to every story
Sitting in the ashes like a hatching hen.
Grumbling and grousing like an old woman.
Like a hen that can't lay her egg.
Like a bun in a hot griddle.
Marriages are made in heaven.
A stone's throw of the place.
"A mile and a lit" said the Kerry girl
Have it yourself or be without it.
The back of God speed.
Since his boots cast fourpence.
She's a plaster
Roasted to a erupcoz
She's a dirty streel - pcromeac
All home now but my mf-ao
"Down and out" like a gander in March
On one leg
"His wing is hanging" - when one is in bad health
Gone as if the ground swallowed her.
Put a beggar on horse back and he'll ride to the devil.
You had a borrowed blue-bag - when something is overdone(continues on next page)
