I say that as well. Blush



lets agree to disagree. Confused..why should I agree on something I disagree with? Big Grin
I think it means 'let's agree that we disagree on what we have been disagreeing about.' Do you agree? or disagree? or would you prefer to agree to disagree to agree to disagree about our disagreement? Crazy

Haven't heard of low hanging fruit.. or drill down. What context are they usually featured in? LOVE your avatar BTW Smiler


Thanks Hug

I used to work in a place where they would say "low hanging fruit" instead of saying that it should be a quick & easy business deal . It always annoyed me Mad Big Grin

AHHHM, yes, yes it was.

Hopefully, cutting my part of the quote off makes Tess, and Tess alone, look like a pervert Ninja

And then, of course, you keep quoting it.... Smiler

On another (related) note:
You all really HAVE heard of "run it up the flagpole", right? I had the impression it was new to at least charmer.

honestly, ive never heard of it
but i dont get out much, except to the pub-and i wouldnt expect any of the lads to come out with it Big Grin

Brilliant place! Not far from me (Sheffield), I go regularly because my sister lives there. My brother's wife is from Nottingham too. I have Notty pals Nod Lovely people Thumbs Up

How did your sis meet him? (Is it your sister's hubby?)

Hug

*carefully hits the "quote" button instead of the "edit" button*

They met when she was in the Peace Corps, stationed in the Seychelles, and he was teaching math or something. He's lovely folk, indeed.
We visited Nottingham a few years ago (my sister got her PhD from Nottingham University (I think?) and we were there for her graduation. What a lovely place!
