There's more ways to kill a pig than fill it full of strawberries.
Also, as a variant to nothernmonkey's one, and as quoted on Blackadder:
Wetter than a haddocks bathing costume

So hungry I could eat a scabby cat. Like a rat up a drainpipe. Smells like a pox doctor's clerk. More jam than Robinsons. Falls down the sewers and comes up smelling of roses. Hung like a donkey. You don't shit on your own doorstep. She's ugly, but you're fucking ugly. Thick as pigshit. It went like shit off a shiny shovel. So happy I could shit. You cooking fat! Cupid stunt. No wucking furrys. More fat on a butcher's dog. Where there's muck there's brass. Can't see the wood for the trees. Can't see for looking. The dude abides (sorry carlito!) One up the bum, no harm done. Slip a Richard. Sorry I realy am going to have to stop now!! ps - Nipples like organ stops

and one i here from a friend from cani farm(cantral farm), when any body says something he doesnt quite believe he says " i have heard fat dogs fart before"
"A shy byrn gets na broth", , dont know if my spelling is correct, i was looking for the saying but cant find it, Byrn is meant to be scottish slang for baby, but when i heard it thats what it sounded like i asked and was told it means a shy baby gets no broth. if you dont ask you dont get,

Craig Everett ๐ฌ๐ง Rourke Van Dal โข Urban Artist, by buffin on Oct 13, 2007 11:56:40 GMT 1, "I think the answer lies ........... in the soil"
Think its an old saying used by a certain Ted Moult but frequently still used in our office when someone asks a difficult question about anything and you don't know the answer.
Bit more modern but if you're feeling tired you are 'Natalie Tokered"
Remember when you used to play tag or touch and you wanted a time out? Think there are many differant sayings for that. We used to cross our fingers and shout "squeezy". No idea why!

As for sayings..
"You couldn't shout coal up a back alley!" (usually shouted at someone who's bloody awful at singing)
"Shy bairns get nee sweets" (similar to gd303uk's byrns 'n' broth phrase)
"Sweating like a fat lass"
However my personal favourite as it paints such an amusing picture..
"About as much use as a sponge leg in a flood!"
;D
