Very silly pics

[Mrs Trellis]

Now you know how it's done:-

 

[Mr Mike]

Kick the bucket
Time flys
Heart on your sleeve

 

[RobinGriffiths]

In a nutshell!

 

[andys]

If we're going to try to get them all, I'll add: "Time flies", "Best foot forward", "Kicking the bucket", "Wear one's heart on one's sleeve", "Born with a sliver spoon in the mouth", "Spilling the beans", "Grasping at straws", "OK to pair fish with cheese", "Presented on a tray", "Run ragged", "If the shoe fits...", "Bird brain", "Keeping an ace up your sleeve", "Keeping your cards close to the chest", "Pull your socks up", "Red herring". Which takes us to eighteen. Nine to go chaps and chapesses!

I'd go with "pan-fried" - that's why it's called a frying pan.

In a nutshell!

Originated because the Romans produced a copy of the Iliad by Homer which would fit into a nutshell. (Blows on fingernails).

Hit the nail on the head!

Grab the cat by the tail

I think the bird on the head is actually "bald as a coot" and there's also "ear worm" there.

Cat got your tongue
Kick the bucket
Time flies
Spill the beans
Hit the nail on the head
Born with a silver spoon in your mouth
Wear your heart on your sleeve
Ace up your sleeve

There had in fact been crow bars for many years but they were shady unlicensed establishments & prone to raids by the police.
Of course all that changed with the passing of the CROW act.
