That project is circling the drain.

....falling off the perch

...can't polish a turd

...is about as useful as perfume on a pig

He has a few 'roos loose in the top paddock. :crazy:

 

 

 

 

 

In Australia, for dying projects, we used to say:

 

She's spat the dummy, mate. (A "dummy" is what they call a baby's pacifier.)
