...is not, as some seem to think, 'in the pudding'.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
That is all, thank you. |  |

THANK YOU! You are of course entirely right. It really confuses (and annoys) me how some people are able to take a saying that makes sense, and change it into something that doesn't, without noticing... |  | | |

And the palace of Westminster isn't 'the mother of parliaments', but England is (although that's arguably historically inaccurate). [Post edited 19 Jun 2021 15:16]

True, Mickery is of course Mr McCarthy's management style. However I don't think TB's name is Noel. And he may not necessarily wish to be had. |
You should be plumbing the well's depths with your mick pedantry, but seem to have misssed the actual mark and yet scored an inadvertent hit? However, I doff my tap to you sir if you knew full "well" and deliberately twisted mickery to the legendary Mr Mick...
As for the rest, I blame my self inflicted, poor education, for my loose narrative style and an easy hit.😠| | | |

There are many such.
It is not "Money is the root of all evil", but "The love of money is the root of all evil". |
Even that is a misquote.
It is actually "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.
Hence, there is evil that is not associated at all with the love of money but every kind of evil can and does, at times, result from the love of it. |  |

You're taking the pizza, this miss-take has been potted on TWTD & other flora at least a backer's dozen times in the past yeast. |  |

Blimey, I can't remember ever seeing Guthers get something so wrong.

John Toshack when he was manager at Real Madrid would often drop English sayings into his interviews, translated word for word into Spanish. They'd make absolutely no sense. I remember the cover of a sports paper with a pig flying over Madrid but the best one was when he said his team played with their tails up, which was taken as meaning they were playing with their penises up.
The quote this week from Luis Enrique saying he'd play Morata and ten others also reminded me of Toshack. After a Madrid defeat he was asked who he would pick for the next match, he said the keeper and ten other c***s. It wasn't clear if he meant it or was his poor Spanish, pretty sure it was the former. |  | | |
