My picture selection this morning is partly about relative sharpness of focus, and partly about non-salience of toes.

I don't frequent the gym myself, and I was disappointed to hear that "spinning" isn't a whirling dance like dervishes and the Rotary Club do, but stationary cycling.I thought spiining was something you did dahm at t'mill Jer!![]()

My Yorkshire vocabulary is quite meager, but some online resources provided some assistance. I decided to translate portions of a couple of songs (rather than sayings) into a Yorkshire-ish dialect. (As for actual meanings, I'm not even sure what the songs mean!)
With apologies to Billy Preston:
Nowt fra nowt leaves nowt.
Tha mun 'ave summat if tha want ta be wi' uz.
Ah'm not tryin' ta be tha 'ero 'cos 'a' zero is too parky for uz, brrr.
Ah'm not tryin' ta be tha 'ighness 'cos 'a' minus is too low ta see, yeah.
Nobbut fra nobbut leaves nobbut.
An' Ah'm not stuffin, beleev tha uz.
Don't tha think on Ah towd thee Ah'm soldier int' war on poverty, yeah, aye, Ah'm.
(Original lyrics:
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.
You got to have something if you want to be with me.
I'm not trying to be your hero because that zero is too cold for me, brrr.
I'm not trying to be your highness because that minus is too low to see, yeah.
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.
And I'm not stuffing, believe you me.
Don't you remember I told you I'm a soldier in the war on poverty, yeah, yes, I am.)
If the Beatles were Yorkshiremen:
Tha say aye, Ah see nay.
Tha say geeoer, 'n Ah sez nip on, nip on, nip on, oh nay.
Tha say tarra 'n Ah sez ayup.
Ayup ayup.
Ah doun't kna why tha say tarra, Ah sez ayup.
(Original lyrics:
You say yes, I say no.
You say stop and I say go go go, oh no.
You say goodbye and I say hello.
Hello hello.
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello.)
Here's my Union Jack to lend a little actual Yorkshire authenticity to my post!
