It's not really what I feel like doing at the moment

#324 Post by **Scurra** » Thu Jul 14, 2022 10:56 pm

No, I'd have thought not. I'd probably R, R A T D O T L.

It's too late for that now

I think I have now worked out the KCACO one but still stumped by R, R A T D O T L

Is anyone going to enlighten the rest of us?

#327 Post by **Bunnylump** » Fri Jul 15, 2022 5:00 pm

I haven't worked out either of them, LAT!

Mine was sort of a wartime poster "slogan" that became "merched" on mugs, teatowels etc much more recently.

Scurra's is not so much a "common phrase" as a famous line from the end of a poem.

So I guess nobody is going to proceed from Keep Calm and Carry On, nor wanting to expand on Rage, Rage Against the Dying of the Light.
So tough luck, here's a new one:

Maybe better known in this version

T G A A L O C I B

Funnily enough I actually thought it was as per your original but I see I was wrong.

They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil?

They certainly do.
I might wonder if the "expression" is fairly common as "There's An Awful Lot..." maybe even more so than Ol' Blue Eyes' song lyric, from which it's probably a misquote. A bit like "Play it again, Sam".

OK, how about

We're on to Shakespeare now?

(Actually, I bet quite a few others in this thread were, anyway...)

#335 Post by **LAT** » Tue Aug 16, 2022 12:32 am

Oh I'm sure this isn't the first Shakespeare!

#336 Post by **SparkOut** » Tue Aug 16, 2022 7:13 am

Well if C stood for "headgear with bells on", it might apply to you two both.

#337 Post by **SparkOut** » Wed Aug 17, 2022 7:44 pm

I think it must be Uneasy Lies The Head That Wears A Cap 'n' bells

Does Scurra lie anxiously awake at night?
Perhaps understandably, with a giant purple rabbit out to Wriek Rewengay! [/blackadder voice]

Hey, I did years of therapy to stop the giant purple rabbit dreams. Now you've reminded me of them again. Thanks.

#339 Post by **SparkOut** » Sat Aug 20, 2022 10:53 am

So we seem to need a new one, as well as a comfy couch for continuing therapy:
