Both ends of the animal

If this is "The Horse's Mouth", then should my partner be writing a companion blog called "the hind legs of the donkey"? Lisa was not amused by the suggestion yesterday evening, and declined both on the basis that she doesn't feel that it's a commitment she should be taking on, and also that she doesn't fancy that end of the equine beast; it wasn't a term she had come across before and I was surprised to find how very British it was.

A google search reveals "talking the hind legs off a donkey" in use by telephone companies selling their services to compulsive talkers, a number of blogs by predominantly female writers who are coming out and admitting verbosity, and the inevitable phrase sites. As Lisa talked on one particular tiny subject all the way from home to Chippenham yesterday, it might be more appropriate than she admits ...
