"More power to your elbow"

[LiamStyles]

Has anyone else heard of this sayin? I said it to Sue when i was over and she nearly wet herself. Said I made it up, I thought Phil and Louise would shed some light on the subject for her and agree with me.

 

But it appears they are thick as feck aswell.

Power to your able is the saying Tibeten Monks say when the "Elbow Smash Attack" someone's head in.
