Long time, no see!
Hey. We are back after a small holiday. Frankly speaking, we understand that sometimes there are too much idioms, so we decided that this week will be a special one. It's the week of food!
...however, there are some expressions to which we could not give a miss. Nevertheless, we promise more fun and increadible stuff in the near future!

Hey! Have you ever planned to attack someone with food? Even if you haven't, now we will give you an ultimate weapon. John Burgess from Quora.com said the following about it:
"Durian, without a doubt.
My first volley would be a barrage of Durian fruits at the far end of ripeness. The chemical assault might end things right there by causing vomiting which, as we know, has an infectious effect in groups. A disabled troop is unable to fight.
My second volley would be with Durian fruits as the near end of ripeness. These hard, spiky fruits would draw blood, break bones, and demoralize the still retching enemy.
The conquerors, however, will have to be supplied with gas masks and protective clothing in order to occupy enemy territory now covered in Durian slime and vomit.
BTW: I really do like Durian!"

Laughable, Risible and Amusing Complaints Made By Holidaymakers to Travel Agents
1. I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite.Holiday maker complaints
2. I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts.
3. It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during "siesta" time - this should be banned.
4. On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all.
5. We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels.
6. The beach was too sandy.
7. A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick and strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time.
8. Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women.
9. We bought "Ray-Ban" sunglasses for five Euros [£3.50. $5 USD] from a street trader, only to find out they were fake.
10. No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled.
11. It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took the Americans three hours to get home.
12. My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked.
13. I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends' three-bedroom apartment, and ours was significantly smaller.
14. The brochure stated: "No hairdressers at the accommodation". We're trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying here?
15. There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners.
16. We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white.
17. We had to queue outside with no air conditioning.
18. It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel.
19. A tourist at a top African game lodge overlooking a waterhole, who spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate".
20. A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she'd been locked in by staff. When in fact, she had mistaken the "do not disturb" sign on the back of the door as a warning to remain in the room.
