Things you CANNOT do

Marydoll

I could eat a horse.

That was once a bigger remark: "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse between two bread vans."

You do not have an apple in your eye, and if you did, it wouldn't look like your beloved grand daughter.

You cannot zip your lip.

It will never rain cats & dogs.

And, believe me, pigs will never fly.

Hold back the tide

Kill yourself laughing.

Tie yourself in knots

Create a storm in a teacup.

Lucca I suppose if you had enough paint, and it was a very small town, then you might, at a pinch, you might just be able to?

I could eat a horse.

Burn your bridges

My husband's offering:

Make an arse of yourself... he is so uncouth ?

Bring the house down.

Get knocked down by a feather

Laugh on the other side of your face.

Work your socks off.

Paint the town red

Laugh your arse off.

I tried and the extra lockdown few pounds which all went there won't shift.

My daughter says big bums are in now though

Fly like a bird

Bark up the wrong tree

Have two left feet

Move heaven and earth

Walk to the end of the earth is another

Charleygirl your input is always welcome!

phoenix I think I must be a tad slow- I was returning to apologise because it dawned on me it was not part of the theme. Sorry.

Talk the hind legs off a donkey

Oh Charleygirl you are SO right! A real bugbear of mine, although perhaps not quite fitting the theme.

Marydoll I'd forgotten that one!

Like being every third word.
