it's more the fact that you'd consider using the term 'daft as a bag of spanners', which is daft.
Sort of like telling someone about the Cheese Sketch - essentially John Cleese reciting a long long list of various forms of cheese. Doesn't sound funny, but is.
spanners - not inherently daft, unless referred to as such. It's all a bit meta.
ooh! ooh! did I tell you about LB's new favourite thing to do at hometime from nursery? She runs off and attempts to hide, usually under a chair, which leaves most of her sticking out.
I have to try very very hard not to lapse into the 'How Not To Be Seen' sketch.
"Now, where *did* LB go?" we all say, to the sound of a small cute person giggling madly from under her chair, failing quite spectacularly Not To Be Seen.
