I'm in London. What is this cop that you speak of?

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
This saying doesnβt work in most countries
measure twice
cut once
Measure once
Cut ~~once~~ twice
Measure again
Cut another time
hmm. I prefer to live by "I've cut it three times and it's still too short"
I am an ardent believer in it, given how many times it has saved our assets at work, often to the point of annoying people. That said, I usually end up being right for insisting on more time and/or data, so itβs all good.
However, my spoonerific brain always gets this twisted to βmeasure once, cut twiceβ.
I unknowingly wrote this once in a comment about asking for more metrics during a design review.
My colleague (the author of said design document) replied with the relevant metrics and a comment saying βmeasure never, cut foreverβ. :D
measure never, cut forever
Im stealing that xD that's a good one
Indeed it is. :-)
Also, your comment made me realise that I mistyped asses in my original comment!
Going to leave it there for the sweet sweet irony. :D
Measure three times, cut zero times
taps head
Beats "cut it 3 times and it's still too short" as my uncle said to me too many times... Along with "you hammer like old people fuck"

I'm not fixing it, I'm upgrading it.
Buy it, use it, break it, fix it, trash it, change it, mail, upgrade it.

haste does, indeed, make waste.
"A stitch in time saves nine"
If it doesn't work, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.
Accidentally Capitalism towards workers?
Upvoted because it is true by design.
Nothing is ever so bad it can't get worse.
Probably not a common saying, but it's my saying. And it has proven true time and again.
Crap in crap out
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck.
All those things about your mom are true.
Birds of a feather flock together
Imagine a bunch of random and different birds in one flock...
badass burd gang found family.
how come DreamWorks hasn't made that movie already
"Birds if a feather" coming soon
The chaos lol
Depends on the species. Some birds (usually birds of prey) are extremely territorial especially to members of their own species which are obviously their biggest competitors.
It is what it is.
