I'm sorry Übereil, but what was your answer?
I must not understand your previous post. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Tsel

Something to do with Janggut? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

lol, a good one @Womble <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Or combine the two:
Pretend it's raining with the beard of @Janggut in your mailbox...

what would you do? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

I would get the mail out of the rain ofcourse.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

...or out of the beard of janggut.. even if the beard is wet.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />

Here's the answer: Caught by surprise

I have to go.
I guess it is back to you Übereil.

Tsel

Right o!

Erm... What now?

Don't say hey... In a day I give you the other halph of this classical byword.

Übereil

talk about getting caught in surprise, i am actually. with Luc, Spick leaving & Jurak almost ..... .

Jauh Di Mata, Dekat Di Hati (a malay saying)

Far from Eyes, Near at Heart

I wonder what that means, Jang... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

In Sweden we have quite the opposite: Out of sight, out of thought.

Übereil

Our Belgian expression is almost the same like yours Üb.
Out of sight, out of the heart. Hopefully that wont happen with Luc, Spick and now Viper!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Never. And you forgot Kiya... And where is Kris? And Hakea? And everybody else I can't remember for the moment?

Übereil

out of sight out of mind is a negative version of the saying i put in my previous post. the meaning for mine was that no matter how far u are, even when i cannot see u, u will always be near in my heart. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ube, of course i remember them. there's also mandrake, whom u have never met.

There's so many I can remember.

Übereil

OK, I don't know who's turn it is here, right now.
But the following expression is not for guess anyway, because it's way too easy. But I really like how it is somewhat different in each language, so I thought It'd somehow fit in here.

In English it's
"All that is Gold does not glitter."

In German it's
"Nicht alles was glänzt, ist Gold." (Not all that glitters, is gold.)

And in French it's
"Tout ce qui brille, n'est pas d'or" (All that glitters, is not gold.)

So, does another variation of this exist somewhere else?

The grass is always greener on the other side... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

that is somewhat the same.... i think...... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

In Flemmish we say, "t'Is niet al goud wat blinkt"
And about the grass we say, "Het gras is altijd groener aan de overkant"
Both mean the same, it means that your neighbour can live in a big pretty house but that doesn't mean that he is happier than you are. (or something like that)
Can I do one now?
"You always find a stick to hit the dog" What does that mean?

If you want to find faults in someone/thing, it will be no problem. (Or something like that...)
