CHAT-Weekly Comp-Phrase or Saying-17-23 Sept

Reinardina

My first thought with Andy's picture, was of a 'chin wag.'
H's baffles me, but I've never been strong in cryptic descriptions.

I'm stuck in a rut, as, for some reason, the phrases that spring to mind are often Dutch, and don't always have English equivalents.
I've got a few in mind, but am still on the lookout for a better one.

Fingers crossed!

Is that one "Straight from the horse`s mouth" Andy?

I had not thought of that one, but more of a at the race phrase although this pair are hardly moving  ;)

How about 'ahead by a nose'?

As for mine, the background counts ;)

A bit more direct Howard but on the right track  ;)

"Love in the mist" or "Focus on the heart"  :D

Andy - yours - is it the little horse saying to the big horse 'when the race starts run really really fast'?

Mine - try counting the out of focus sweets in the background.

Reinardina

I'd never have guessed it.

Still stuck in a rut; can mainly think of proverbs or phrases that are virtually impossible to shoot, without a lot of preparation.

I may however enter this one. A sneaky one, shot more or less under the eye of two police persons. The shopping centre does not encourage photography, to say the least, so it was a quickie, while innocently 'looking the other way.'

I think it will be easy to guess by you clever clogs, and even the less clever, will have no problems.

Is it Next in Line or Queuing Around the Block?

DigiDiva

He! he! I nearly did that one DD ( Don`t put al your eggs in one basket) but in the end went retro. Shouldn`t take you long to crack mine either ;)

Could be either, I suppose, but it's not what I had in mind.
I see the shot is rather dark-ish, I'll see if I can tart it up a bit, before entering it. If I can't find anything better, that is.

And I don't 'see' your saying Jinky. Maybe it's too early in the morning, maybe I don't know it, or more probably, my mindset isn't suited to this kind of thing. I've noticed it in the past. I simply don't see things, unless the proverb is very well known and very easy to spot, like DD's.

Not so much a proverb as a well known saying from the past (in advertising in the early 60s I think) Reinardina. Showing my age here but I am sure H or Andy will get it in a while. Accredited falsely by some to Fay Wewldon ( she says she just used it in her campaign and did not come up with it herself).

Is yours standing in line then?

Hinfrance

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, Go to work on an egg!

Still haven't got yours yet Re. I thought it might be to do with fashionistas queuing for the latest shiny™ thing, so apple of my eye, or maybe using the map application to find their way out and all trying to leave through a window in the gent's toilet  :uglystupid2:
