In addition to my first post....Baby was born at 15:07 Saturday afternoon, weighed in at 8 LBS 7OZs that's a bouncing boy
I meant to preface this with Ahh....particularly for the new mother

Ahh, congrats
With a baby that big it was probably more a case of 'Arrgh!' than 'Ahh!' for the mother....weighed in at 8 LBS 7OZs that's a bouncing boy
A Google search brings up "a Spaniard in the works" as a John Lennon book that was a pun on "a spanner in the works". The original phrase is spanner, but it wouldn't mean much if you don't use the word spanner.
Yes but it would mean a lot if you're old enough to remember John Lennon's book (as I am).
You'll have to forgive me for thinking that "Spaniard in the Works" would be instantly recognizable to a UK person.
One of my friends starts off every single post/update/whathaveyou with that, no matter the subject. It gets kind of annoying, but she doesn't mean to be condescending or anything, it's just how she is.
But to be honest, I rarely ever see other people use it, and I suppose the implications behind the "word" change depending on the context in which it is used.

Not familiar with the book, but I would have guessed (wrongly, it seems) that was a Monty Python expression. I can visualize a whole sketch that ends with Fawlty Tower's Manuel bouncing up and out of the bonnet of a automobile.
Actually, now I've got Manuel's voice going "Ahhhhh .... " in my head... dang....
