" Brian Moore's head looks suspiciously like the London planetarium."
Brian Moore the ITV Commentator from 70s, 80s and 90s.. Not the rugby player. Think there was a fanzine published in that name at the time....

A huge amount of sayings originated from sailors. Cut The Painter which means sever links with something or someone.
I s'pose that's what the club did to Marti. |  | | |

I'm not sure it's a common saying but "Brian Moore's head look exactly like London Planetarium" is a lyric from Dickie Davies Eyes by Half Man Half Biscuit. That's where the Gillingham fanzine got its name from. Brian Moore was a Gills fan.
Every line of that song is great by the way, I especially love the opening line....
"Mention the Lord of the Rings one more time and I'll more than likely kill you."
and this bit a few lines later....
"Is this a wok that you've shoved down my throat or are you just pleased to see me?" |  | | |

Great track from a great album.
I always thought it was ‘looks uncannily like London planetarium’ but that’s just splitting Dickie Davies’ badger hairs.
Jesus was also credited as ‘Right arm over the wicket’ on the album cover and told to come on down in the style of The Price is Right.
Frank Bough never featured though, shame that given his use of drugs and BDSM. |  |
| Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?

Getting Wokked in the gob undoubtedly ‘cums’ a very poor second to being bummed there…. | |

"Don't cast your clout til May is out"
Said in the context of not putting your summer bedding plants out until the last chance of a frost has passed.
No idea how it means that though or what casting your clout is. |  | | |

I thought it was about not putting away your winter clothes because it might still be a bit chilly until June. |  | | |

Yes, this I think. This year ( as I look out at the incessant rain) is a classic example. | | | |

Not sure it qualifies but the look of sheer disbelief my American SO gave me when I first referred to something being much of a muchness was a sight to behold.
Quite a few British sayings have left them flabbergasted. |  | | |

You should have tried them with “ there's many a mickle makes a muckle” | | | |
