Yeah, I've heard that from other people who couldn't believe that I'd be honest about how I feel about the competition. Unlike you, however, I'm not full of trout all the time, Steve.

Swings and roundabouts apparently comes from a poem about a guy who owned a small fairground. Sometimes loads of people would go on the swings and neglect the roundabout, sometimes vice versa. So the line was basically "what we lose on the roundabout, we pull up on the swings".

EDIT: Yes. Trout is the best.
