A

a better man never stood in two shoes

a bit of an odd bod

a bit rough round the edges

a bit slow on the uptake

A bucket load

A face that only mothers could love

A few tinnies/stubbies short of a slab

A little more choke and it would have started

A Rooster one day, and a feather duster the next..

A Taswegian

About as funny as a fart in an elevator

About as ugly as a hat full of arseholes

about as subtle as a kick in the guts

About as useful as a one legged man in a arse kicking contest

about as useful as an ashtray on a motor bike

About as welcome as a pork chop in Jerusalem

About as welcome as a turd in a swimming pool

act your age not your shoe sie

All froth and no beer !no substance"

All over it like a rash

All over the place like a drunken spider
