Ha ha ha. I mixed up English and German expressions. In English it's all the world and his brother - in German it's "Gott und die Welt" which would literally be god and all the world. So I took the god part from German and the brother part from English! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Good catch!
Also love your sig line (of course!)

LOL!
I saw it too, but I was too polite to say anything.... ::) ::)
In Swedish it's "the devil and his grandmother" btw. 8)

So it wouldn't be used in your sentence anyway.

Yes, that was a real good weekend, wasn´t it? I visited Stockholm about two weeks ago and missed your company as I strolled through Gamla Stan :-*
Master photographer indeed. Was some hot shot photographer who had traveled half across the country! 8)

Yeah, that was a wonderful weekend. I can't imagine going to Stockholm without meeting up with the two of you. :-*
You know that really devoted photographers will do just about anything when it comes to travelling, just to get the perfect shot!! ;D

I think in America the only expression we have like that is "Everybody and his brother in law." No deities involved.
