      It's a saying… Just means you're busy... Blue arsed fly => can't sit down => running around...

      That's how I interpreted it... Lifted it from a The 4 Skins lyric...

        I think the saying is based on the blue bottle fly that is know to buzz around erratically not really seeming to get much done

            Bottle & Glass - Arse

            Hence Blue Bottle becomes Blue Arsed… cockney slang which sadly I'm well versed in..

                      @Matty123  the one thing faster than a blue arsed fly is a blue arsed fly that's chasing shit off a shovel

                      Cockney rhyming slang was used bet costermongers (street traders) all over London, including Sarf London as a way of speaking to each other without being understood. Just as much to set prices for punter's as avoid the police feeling their collars

                                        @neph93 such a good photo. I love when dad just love the heck out of being dads. Respect buddy. I really like those Wesco too. I'm still waiting on my Vibergs to finish being built. One week soon.
