It's a UK expression, innit?
I've just used it in a PM with a Mainlander and I'm sure I'll be asked what it means. To be prefectly honest, I haven't a clue. I've always just thought it's totally surreal. I've never detected any psychosis in any of the Edam, Gouda or Mature Cheddar I buy at Morrisons, so any assistance is appreciated.
Ta muchley.

Yes Claire ... but what does it mean? Where's a d00mie when you need one? I'm sure she introduced it to the forum so I'll blame her.boudicca wrote: It's a good one, though.
I still can't read this thread in it's entirety without laughing my bollox off. Nice. Innit.

And you can smoke the cheese, the biscuits, the salmon AND banana leaves AFAIC, If you want, I'll send over some fine packets of Belgian Tigra, only used once
(you really should try to stop, Johnny, it makes you feel rather good )

Mad as a Hatter. Mad as a March hare. Mad dogs and Englishmen... Never heard any of the others before.
And Blue Stilton is just one of the many attractions of visiting my parents.

Only familiar with Francis' March hare and hatter, is cheese in any way madder than those two ?
It hasn't got anything to do with the Dutch, does it
Anyway, as long as you bring loads of Stilton to Tilburg, you won't hear me complaining, it's about my favorite cheese (Shropshire Blue would do too )
