glossop

A settlement in the foothills of the Pennines, England - other names include Utopia, Heaven, Paradise.
Though many have attempted to find Glossop, few have succeeded. The lack of any reference on maps has made locating this acclaimed land an arduous task, and many great explorers have failed in their attempts to find it (Columbus himself declared that "Glossop shall never be found, rendering my life incomplete.")
If by chance you should ever find Glossop (and this is unlikely unless you live there) then you will find it to be a place of great intrigue. The ancient gates barr the way to travellers, and the ritual of hanging cow tippers, while not promoted, is allowed to continue in accordance with local by-laws.
Glossop is ruled by General F, of whom not much is known, save that the General takes a dim view of the outsider class know as the scally.

For those of you wishing to read more on the legend of Glossop, visit www.glossop.com, if indeed such a place even exists...

Columbus: "Not finding Glossop makes my life incomplete. You can have America, for only finding Glossop can save my soul."

caught in the long grass

An Irish saying for being taken by surprise/caught out/an unforeseen event/unpleasant circumstance etc. Many things could lurk in long grass, such as 'shnækes' and other slithery adversaries, to whom one might owe money for instance.

The grass is long, you can't really see what's about you and hence it makes for a prime ambush spot. Visualise strolling through a meadow and all of a sudden being leapt upon by a prowler in the undergrowth. Rarely used in reference to an actual meadow...moreso as a highly amusing colloquialism when rendered in the local accent.

"Seamus owes me €1000, the fecker. Don't ye worry lads, I'll catch'im in the long grass yet!"

"Mick was caught in the long grass by his dealer for late payment"

Waking up with an unknown, unattractive female would count as having caught oneself in the long grass!
