Today is World Cliché Day, and we couldn't resist asking the listeners of the Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show to bone up and dig deep to give us some of their favourite clichés. At the end of the day, when all is said and done, our listeners crossed that bridge when we came to it, brought their A-Game and going forward, we can box that off. Here are just a few – but if you don’t like them, remember that it’s not you, it’s us.
Cliche - water doesn't just fall from the skies - seems appropriate - Richie in cavvvvvvvvvvannnnnn
Hi Ian, what's good for the goose good for the gander. Marie McGoldrick Castlederg
Hey Ian, if at first you don't succeed, try doing it the right way. Fatfrog Garrahy in Doolin
Well Ian, think what you like about clichés but it's fair to say that we'll be talking clichés 'till the cows come home! Liam, Swords
Best cliche ever - every dog has its day. DAVE
If you burn your arse you sit on the blisters - Karl Cavan
Mornin Ian "it's a long road with turn" ya know.Vinnie
Audrey - When I was your age and money doesn't grow on trees. Used to get those from my parents but I hear myself saying them now. How time flies!
Elaine - As useful as a chocolate fireguard
Pamela – You’re dammed it you do and dammed if you don't
Jill - Less could be divided!
Anne - Plenty of more fish in the sea
Gearoid - We should all avoid cliches like the plague but at the end of the day, if you think outside the box, you'll find that every dog has it's day.
Catherine - One good deed deserves another.
