Volvos are stating to look much better than they have in previous years. The same can be said of Jaguar.

When Ford had the Jaguar marque, they tried to do silly things (My son's Jag is more
of a Mondeo than a Jag).
Now that it's part of someone else we get the XF.
Naturally, most of us wanted to know what was going to insert itself in that niche hitherto occupied by the E-type.
We got the answer, but it's not quite the same thing. It's the F-type and it is bloody good.

Tata really turned The jaguar brand around.

I beg you to only consult your own feelings, in this as in all things.

Woke up with that in my head but I can't remember where it's from and I think I must be misquoting it, as I can't find it with a search.

I think that you will find it comes from 'Mags' Monster Compendium of Good Advice'. :D

It's a very old English (traditional) ditty; learned best at the age of about 12 round a Boy Scout (or Cadet) camp fire on a summer evening. You tube has several version, but this one will do for now, I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqkIqa8vBr0


PS. Variations on "the Mademoiselle from Armontierres" (aka Three German Officers crossed the line) is another.

Close, but no cigar.

Context - I know it's from a book, or possibly movie, where the guy has just proposed, either marriage or something to help the girl, and ends it with this phrasing. I'm thinking Austen or Emerson, but maybe just something modern set during that time period.

or (maybe less likely?)
"Hell Above Earth: The Incredible True Story of an American WWII Bomber Commander and the Copilot ordered to kill him"?

I haven't read either, but thanks for trying.


At this point, I'm thinking it's from a movie production of Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. Perhaps the professor talking to Jo.

Recently (2013). Certainly no "Austen" or "Emerson" time. Does the link work?

I've been googling, but there is no clear source for the song. It seems that Roll me over in the clover was very popular during WWII (1944), with various versions. It has been quoted in several books

Here's a more recent version, with some updated kinks. The original may be from the 19th century, but it was very popular during WW2. It invites making up your own couplets, and these ladies have offered some interesting rhymes.

"Roll Me Over In The Clover" -- The Village Washer Wenches 3

To me, that indicates it was a widely spread song, and therefore quite old.

I can remember when ailments used to 'go around'.

'It's going around. But don't worry. You'll be right as rain in a couple of days.' :)

One of the miracles of Google is how we now have the ability to easily research things like "Roll me over in the clover" and "Right as rain" to see where such sayings originated. Some of the results are quite interesting too, such as:

I would have never imagined it being based on medical procedures. :eek:
