Write down a phrase and then explain it. For there might be some none of us have heard of.
Bold it so it can be seen better
"The early bird gets the worm"
This mean if you start your day early then you get to acheive more than a person who starts his day much later???
who uses phrases anyway? if someone said "Well dana, the early bird gets the worm" i'll probably laugh.

"Wee apples grow again"
My Grandad is always using this one, I'M not 100% sure what it means but I think it is something along the lines of "What goes around, comes around" :)

"Kettle calling the pot black"
Means to say something to someone, and for it not to apply to yourself.....a hypocrite in other words!

Well I assume you are as you live there and Ceri plays on your organ in your back room and he is Welsh. Just living in Wales is enough to mess up you word organisation in phrases. For example a welsh girl I know said to me "stop and please dont do this" when she actually mean "do this and please don't stop". I think the judge must have been Welsh as well :(
