Xena:

Did his fruit!

LOL - as I was typing it, I wondered if I should explain, but I thought I'd just leave it for someone to enquire.
From the context, it's clear that it means that he "lost his rag", got upset/angry. As for where the expression comes from, I haven't got the foggiest idea.

LT, "edumakayting his Mercan cousins with British colloquialisms" class.

Gumby:Sorry dude, but "lost your marbles" means something completely different.
LOL

Anyway, you probably don't really want to fit in with us, coz we really have lost our marbles, aren't full shilling, are one can short of a six-pack, one sandwich short of a picnic, etc....

Ok then, how about

"He only has one oar in the water, he leans to the left, he's not the coldest beer in the fridge"?

Any of those ones work for ya?
