    Woo hoo! Have a lovely lunch, mig.

    As a matter of interest, when did you place your bet? The young Aussie looked a shoe in until the last 4 holes.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Sorry, I'm not in the least bit sporty, what on earth does "a shoe in" mean?

    A shoe in is someone who looks as if they've only to turn up to win. Not to be confused with a ringer who is brought into an inferior team with the sole intention of enabling them to win a specific match.

    Get in! Well done Mig, I hope you have a splendid lunch.

    Isn't it a 'shoo-in'? I'm sure I've seen it written that way. DD

    You are quite right, DD. It is ‘shoo-in’ (I think you’re right about the hyphen, too) and that makes a lot more sense – especially when I think of the kerfuffle that often arises when I attempt to unite foot and shoe :roll:
