Examples of use of galley slave
1. Putin claimed he worked ‘like a galley slave‘ before he stepped down Even more explosively, the authors claim the Kremlin has created a "friends–of–Putin" oil export monopoly, not to mention a secret "slush fund" to reward the faithful.
2. Just before he stood down as President, Putin declared: "I have worked like a galley slave throughout these eight years, morning til night, and I have given all I could to this work.
3. The other odds and sods were done days ago, in a single, 15–minute swoop: cranberry sauce (cranberries, sugar, spice, water, heat), bread sauce (bread, onion, cloves, milk, heat) and gravy (giblets, flour, wine, drippings, heat). And, best of all, once that lot is down and doing digestive battle with the preprandial sherry, our galley slave is blessed by the curious fact that Christmas pudding is the only foodstuff known to Man that is at its finest when zapped in a microwave.
4. But even so I should have been fitter than Sharon, who takes no exercise, save taking her clothes on and off, and seems to exist, as far as I can see, on a diet of gin, lager, Golden Virginia, genetically engineered marijuana, Doritos, Tic–Tacs, fireman’s hoses and the occasional crack pipe. (Because she is strongly in favour of animal rights, she calls this a vegetarian diet.) Yet I, currently as well–acquainted with the ergonomically designed handle of a Concept 2 rowing machine as a galley slave with his oar, was puffed out long before Sharon.
