jonathan.oakley Re: To walk a crooked mile 07.07.08, 21:39 Hi, 'Walk a Crooked Mile' was a 1948 movie about smashing a communist spy ring at an American Atomic plant... the group MotorHead also had a hit by the same name. As this is not something I have heard anyone use in conversation before I am going to say that it could be used in a situation where the way ahead is not linear... sometimes you have to navigate the curves and twists to enure a good ending...an example being a presidental campaign... :-) Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
Gość: polishhamster Re: To walk a crooked mile IP: *.chello.pl 10.07.08, 11:43 There is a nursery rhyme that goes as follows: There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked mile, He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile. He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, And they all lived together in a little crooked house. But God knows what it means! Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

al.1 Re: To walk a crooked mile 09.08.08, 22:03 Aha. W informacji jest najprawdopodobniej błąd: "The pub is no 4 feet lower on one side..." Powinno chyba być : "The pub is now 4 feet lower on one side..." ---------------------------------------------------------------- Weetabix! Beware of me, I'm a cereal killer Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
