I heard a wonderful mixed metaphor on the Today Programme today.
The sports presenter said that a comment 'hit the needle on the head' which means I suppose that we will all now have to go and look for a nail in a haystack.
A very nice person that I worked with many years ago was the master of the mixed metaphor. He was forever biting the nettle and grasping the bullet!
