Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 If you were coughing mam would say, cough it up, it might be a gold watch. It isn't the cough that carries you off It's the coffin they carry you off in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Re #1414 Tomlinson - "You and whose army" was the response to the boast of what "you" would do - especially a threat of what you would do to get even. A colleague of mine had an alternative response. "When you're big enough you'll be too old!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
