Sayings from popular culture that you have taken on....

I was walking down a quiet Croatian hill with my wife. A very old woman was walking towards us, pushing a bike up the steep hill.

I smiled at her as I stopped to let her pass and she smiled back a big toothless grin. Calling her a crone would not have been unfair.

A few steps past her, Mrs Badger turned and looked at me and said, 'See that old woman? She's your bird, she is. She's your best bird. You wished you'd married her, you do"

Fortunately, later that day, we saw two old men, one of whom had a ridiculous comb-over and the other was grossly overweight, sat playing my cards. So I responded. 'Oh look, your best ever threesome is here, the one you said you would play your hall pass for'

I'm fairly sure if you'd have told me 30 years ago, they'd be the kind of conversations I'd be having and laughing at in my 60s, I'd have been slightly surprised. 

 

Love this on so many levels! 💓

You’re gonna need a bigger boat.

Just watching Jaws, a film we saw at the cinema 50 years ago.😳

Whenever something breaks in our house or is poor quality we say, 'Value for money from Czechoslovakia ladies and gentlemen'

I think it came from the ventriloquist character played by John Thompson on the Alan Partridge Show. He was terrible, and the show was going wrong. I think the puppet called Cheeky Monkey has his head fell off, and he said that.

But I could be mixing up two characters and it could have been Paul Calf who said it.

'Prepare yourself ladies and gentlemen to laugh your socks off..'

Cue terrible act....'Ohhh you've made me forget my lines cheeky monkey'..

And an admonishment from Alan Partridge telling John Thompson he was 'really poor' and to leave the stage.

Don't recall the bit you mentioned.

Any time out walking with the kids and they pick up a stick (or if I have a yard brush at home) invariably we will hold it in front of us and shout 'You shall not passsss'.

Which normally reminds me I need to pretend to tell them off and call them 'A fool of a Took'.
