As clean as a new pin.
As much gab as the gab-sheep.
As much cheek as old Nick.
As funny as Jer.
As straight as a barrel of a gun.
As black as soot.
As a sovereign.
As funny as "Sweet Vale"
As long as " Jim Scanlan".
Don't be making Seáinín Ó Sheá of yourself.
Never take the book by the cover.
First come first served.
A rag in everyone's bush.
A long road that has no turn.
Nothing as sure as death .
It is a bad wind that does not blow good to somebody.
Slow and easy wins the race.
A dripping June keeps all things in tune.
A wet and windy May fills the barn with oats and hay.
A peck of March dust is worth a king's ransom.
Be careful of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves.
A stitch in time saves nine.(continues on next page)
