won´t pay them the blindest bit of attention

I've used *them* since the first half of the sentence uses the plural, so I decided to go with some consistency - by all rights it should be him, as the others say.

Rebecca's note makes me think I'm probably guilty of hybridizing two expressions - slightest bit of attention and blindest bit of notice - but they all work don't they!
Peer comment(s):

agree Rebecca Hendry : I like it! Also "blindest bit of notice".
