My mum always said to me

A poor workman always blames his tools 

when she was teaching me to knit and sew.

I have bumped the other similar threads …….. might jog a few memories [I think Billy Connolloy has a similar theme in one of his shows 'you wait until your father gets home' and 'I'll give you something to cry about'  ::) ]

One day someone is going to hug you so tight that all of your broken pieces fit back together.

Is it necessary for English speakers to say as much as we do?

i.e. safe haven …… wrong because a haven is what it says on the tin

"I hadn't done that (before)"

I thought of several examples earlier  ::)

I will tell my son that one. My son scared of them and will not be happy till we caught it even a tiny one. We tell him we caught it and put it outside. Anything for a quite life!

Spiders are scary 'cos they scuttle  ::) - I rarely kill one, how about buying one of those spider catchery things from lakeland - then you can examine it in safety, they really are quite clever! those knees for starters  ;).  I have a biggy in our garden shed, it scurried into a large web which is where it will stay until I get the long-handled feather duster  ;D
