A saying that I never quite understood was:

'your eyes are bigger than your stomach'

I mean if I had bigger eyes it wouldn't in any way stop me
from buying any less.

Whoever thought these sayings up needs to be publicly flogged.

It means that you are so greedy that you've gone overboard on the amount of food and you think you can eat as much as you can see on your plate/in your tuck bag etc but your belly can't cope with that amount.

Your eyes are bigger than your belly sounds better too.

And I'm not suggesting that you've carried your food off the deck of the ship when I say gone overboard.

The only possible way out of a hangover for me is an ice cold can or bottle of Coke.

Has to be "the real thing" though. No sad supermarket versions, or even worse, Pepsi :sick:

Jahooli,

I know exactly what it means mate. I am challenging the wording of it.

In actuality it should be: your eyes view of what you could eat is more than
your stomach (belly) can handle. So why ffs don't we just say that. It ain't
clever.

Sorry Essbee got the wrong end of the stick maybe too many metaphores are in use in our language but I like that one. :shrug:

Fault all mine for not making that clear in the first place.

My Mum used to say that a lot to me and my bruvs when we'd
pigged out on sweets.

I have now moved on to salad. Beetroot, celery, lettuce, radish, cucumber and smoked cheese and a pint of cow juuice. Much better.

Nibble,

They say every cloud has a silver lining.

You'll be unable to afford a bleeding pint (or whatever you were drinking)
after spending all this cash on grub!
