  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Kerry cows have long horns
    Too late to spare when all is spent
    Tell that to the Marines," said when a person tells an improbable story.
    He is a man of straw (not much means)
    All the months of the year curse a fine February
    February fill dyke, and March dries it up
    And if February does not, March will."
    A wet Xmas-day means a wet harvest.
    A green Xmas makes a rich churchyard
    Soon ripe soon rotten
    As wicked as a midge
    Long fair, long foul (Said when we get a long spell of fine weather)
