Proverbs for our time

[Juan Kossof]

Robbing Peter to pay Peter slightly less (family tax credit)

It's an ill wind after you've been for a curry

Every cloud has a volcanic ash lining

It's always darkest during a power cut

Never a borrower nor a lender be (unless you're Greece, Spain, Ireland, Portugal or Italy)

Grass doesn't grow in a rented house after the police have raided it

A rolling stone gathers a series of women

 

[Hants_red]

Dead men tell no tales. But his hacked mobile phone tells plenty.

 

[urinal]

One hairy bird on my hand is worth two without a bush.

 

[Herschel]

F*ck this for a game of soldiers.

 

[RaeUK]

All good things come to those who loot ...

 

[iscalad]

If at first you don't succeed, give up. What's the point.

 

[Spoonz Red E]

Don't burn your bridges by using spicy toothpaste

 

[Stuffy]

The proof of the pudding lies in the lavatory.
