"Laughing gravy" Keith?

Then there's laughing gravy...
I like egg banjo.Incidentally, I like Irish sayings too. A friendly Irish neighbour usually greets me with a delightful phrase: "G'day, is that yourself then?"
An egg banjo is a soft fried egg in a roll or sandwich which you eat and as the yolk drips onto your shirt you brush it away as if playing a banjo.It's one from the 'old school' of sayings
And an 'egg banjo' Keith?
A dog roll is a sausage in a bread roll, not a sausage roll which is sausagemeat in pastry.

I don't mind an egg banjo once in a while...
Colourful and expressive words - thanks Fred. What's a Dog Roll? More please.
Hi Gerry, we are here so better to say "our English" instead of "your English" although I am out-Brits origin also. Cheers!

You could start the day with a Full Monty, or just have a Dog Roll. The evening could be downing a few pints of Wallop or some of The Black Stuff, after which you could go for a Ruby Murray.
Thanks Chris - a lovely lexicon - I love your English language.
OK Gerry, here's a few monetary related ones - bread, bread and honey, dough, dosh, cash, wedge, akkers, spondoolix, wad.Can't think of many food ones - grub and nosh. so hand over the dough and get your nosh.
