    Who was it who said "stand by your beds, wait for it, wait for it"?

    It's from some old comedy series. My OH says it sometimes when he's feeling frisky - puts me right off :o:D

    When the lift announces you're at the Ground Floor and you carry on with:

    . . . perfumery, stationery and leather goods, wigs and haberdashery, kitchenware and food . . . going up

    Oh, and more recently, Bus stop wan***s!

    Trying to impress the object of your affection by waving bits of furniture that are burning isnt a good idea.

    You still call Vanessa Redgrave , Vanilla Red nose

    You are having a curry with your missus and you say "You can always tell a good curry by the way the sweat breaks out on your back !" :D

    I thought it was either "It Ain't Half Hot, Mum" or "Get Some In"

    Bonnet de douche
    Crudite a la plate
    Apres moi la deluge

    Rodney.......

    Del: What's French for Duck?
    Rodney: It's canard, Del.
    Del: It certainly is bruv.

    I still use that one! :)

    I wondered that at first, but I think Charlie's right, it's Porridge.

    I seem to remember Ronnie Barker describing McKay's love life.

    Just realised why my OH says it; he accuses me of being like a sergeant major :mad:

    MacKay: "I boxed for Edinburgh Boys."

    Fletcher: "Who against, Lanarkshire Girls?"

    Another one:

    You have, at times, thought of girls chesty bumps as "Devil's Dumplings".

    12) You was never confused, mind you, It’s been a year.

    What's this from? I know it, but I can't remember at all :cry:

    However, I got most of them, so I know I've been watching some fantastic TV XD

    I got most of them too - great thread! :D

    Often, when people tell me stuff I couldn't care less about, it's all I can do to summon up my 'empathic, counselling manner' when all that's running through my head is Sergeant Major Williams rasping,"Oh dear! What a shame! Never mind!"

    when we have our weekly Firedrill at work i always think
    Rude alert! Rude alert! Abandon shop! This is not a daffodil! Repeat, this is not a daffodil!

    How can you not think, "Is no fire - is only drill...!"

    And another couple:
    You thought of naming your baby Rodney - after Dave.
    You think the Sugababes should be renamed Trigger's Broom.

    When someone comes up with an idea you contemplate saying "Do you really think that's wise, sir?"

    - or alternatively, "Brave decision, Minister!"

    whenever someone mentions Buckleigh, you think of the poor Duke who got his head knocked off by a golf ball.

    Al Murray's pub landlord in "Time gentlemen please".

    Quite a classic show, but I don't think ever shown outside of Sky.

    "Hold on Terry, aren't you barred?"
    "Australians are natural bar keepers - its instinct, iiiinnnstiinct!"
    "He called me 'Papa':cry:"
    "Ms Jackson, cow! Never pulled a pint in her life!"
    "Thats coming out of your wages son!"
    :D

    This is such a great thread :D ... whenever I get in a lift in a department store I really do hear a voice in my head saying "Ground floor - Perfumery, Gents' Ready Made Suits ..."

    When passing a shop window, despite the fact that you have to be well over 50 to remember the show in question, you still have an urge to stand next to it, stick an arm and leg in the air and grin foolishly.

    Without failure at half time when we're at the rugby, we always say
    "what do you think of it so far?"
    "rubbish"
    It doesn't matter if it's the best match ever!
