Thread Name: Folklore: ambiguous colloquialisms ?
Subject: RE: Folklore: ambiguous colloquialisms ?
Despite working in a life and death situation in an engine room where if you don't do clockwise close, anticlockwise open you can end up dead, if I think too hard about turning a nut with a spanner I can lose the plot, particularly if the nut is underneath like on the toilet cistern this morning. If I don't think about it I can usually get it right straight away. Good philosophy, Rumn.
