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.

its the strangely coloured ones, johnny my lad.

What? Like blue veined Stilton? And can I dry it out and smoke it? Before The Worlds Greatest Living Belgian calls my bluff?

you're as mad as f*ck already, so leave the cheese and back away..

Oh dear, another 'beer' 'keyboard' moment.

Top girl.

*curtsies*

I think it's more an English thing.

It's a good one, though.

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.

I still can't read this thread in it's entirety without laughing my bollox off. Nice. Innit.

and you can put the biscuits back, as well.

If you have to tell people that your own thread is actually quite funny, start changing your ID again, Johnny me lad

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 )

IZ.

I've never heard of it.
The only "Mad as..." phrases I've heard of are "Mad as a lorry" and "Mad as a bottle of chips".

and i've never heard those, dan, so you've been on the gruyere as well..

it's like the mescal worm isn't it? i once ate one

or possibly the great cheese race - broken limbs allover the place

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.

mad as a brush.mad as a balloon (from blackadder,my personal favourite)

Whatever it means exactly, it's in any case applicable to you, my Johnny.

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 )

Mad as a hat full of spaniels. You can just make up your own!

Mad as a box of frogs. Mad as a badger.

But why pissed as a newt?

i thought it was "mad as a cheeseplant"?

You may be right Mr Quiff. But whatever it is, and re-reading through this thread, I think it's universally agreed that it's, ummm ...mad.

indeed.

bonkers. quite lidderally.

mad as a hat stand, in fact.

I vote for "mad as a HL admin"

There could be nothing madderer.

IZ.

I'm a fan of Mr mackem's box of frogs.

This thread is bloody mad, I might add...
