The Scream

That picture by Edvard Munch, must have been inspired by him hearing from some numbskull, " Been there , done that, got the T-shirt". What on gods earth does it mean? Is there a sodding T-Shirt with "been there etc". written on it? I'm glad I don't have access to firearms, as I'm sure I'd shoot the next sod who uttered it. By the way, its usually people who say it, who've never been anywhere. Rant over.

Re: The Scream

Don't have nor want a tee, but have been known to use the expression "been there, done that" when it seemed appropriate, John.........

Re: The Scream

I try not to make that comment, but as you get older and someone is going on about things it does go through my head that (been there done that), about lots of things

Strange you bringing up 'The Scream' John, only last week a young barman at my local asked me to make him a pendant with the scream skull on it, it's in silver and he wears it on an 18'' chain outside his tee shirt, coincidence or what?.
I usually say after I've been to a place or event 'Been there, got drunk', you'd be surprised at the looks you get, but they never ask you again.

Re: The Scream

yes have to admit to using it as well, especially when a young mum is trying to cope with several little ones who are usally not helping. or opening doors , helping them on off transport.

Re: The Scream

It's a bit like people who say 'cheer up, it might never happen'.

People who say that usually have had no traumas & look thru' life with rose - tinted specs.
