“Bag of spanners” ?? Help an AmeriCanadian out…

Ooh, Clive I get too. Thanks for reminding me Hannah!

Ok, how best to describe a face like a bag of spanners. You know when a man is getting a little on the wrong side of rugged? Perhaps a few scars, deep lines, that kind of thing? And then throw in the ability to pull a right mean face. That’s a face like a bag of spanners. That, my friend, is DCI Gene Hunt.

Spanner = Monkey Wrench. Or close enough to it. Also, you swoon for him and I’ll swoon for his car…

Grrrr. I heart Mr Hunt too. I think it’s the sideburns and the hint of ginge… *Shivers*

Hang about… monkey wrench = spanner. Of course!

Makes that Foo Fighters song sound all the more amusing now.

I believe that technically it’s an adjustible spanner, but that just doesn’t have the same flow when used lyrically. And that’s important.

I getcha.

‘Don’t wanna be your spanner’ ain’t quite the same is it?

God bless Dave Grohl’s poetic nuance.

God bless Dave Grohl period.
