When I get in the bath and it's a bit hot I always

I always say "Dood-lay", as well!

When DD went to Italy recently, they visited Mt Vesuvius. Every time she says Vesuvius, I always say "Poovius", inspired by a children's' story book the DC once brought home from the library about an inventor of toilets in Ancient Rome.

can only say Barnsley in a Barnesly accent.

I find the same about Dudley. Not sure I could say it in my accent if I tried.

I just did another one... when I say 'Oh no', I have to say it like that camp man from Family Guy!

😂😂 @ "I was born ready motherfucker"

I had to change "yippeekay aye motherfucker" from Die Hard to "yipeekay aye mother hubbard" as I got into similarly embarrassing situations a few years ago.

My commute goes through Oval Tube station. So every day the announcement goes "The next station is Oval," and every time I say out loud, "No it's not! It's cylindrical!" Been 10 years now and still funny every time. to me

Stop! is followed by "In the name of love!" and 'turn around' with 'give me your hand' (Belinda Carlisle)

Since watching the film 'Blade' about five years ago, every time DH asks me if I'm ready I always reply "I was born ready mother fucker"

I once said it without thinking whilst taking notes for a managers meeting at work, the CEO asked if everybody was ready to break for lunch and it just came out

so relieved there are others who do Eddie-isms.

Our favourite family tale is about the time my Nan had her wedding ring blessed at church. The vicar was lovely and she launched into her sermon with great gusto, the main focus of which was St Paul's Letters to the Corinthians.

I nudged mum and whispered "never put a sock in a toaster"

The sheer intensity of trying not to laugh out loud ended with me, my mum and my brother crying laughing.

Nan was not impressed.

Nobody else "got" it.

If we ever hear anyone talking in a strong scottish accent, like on the news or something, Dh always booms "ayee!! Ya wee shit!" in the same accent.
Same as when we hear a strong Welsh one, one of us says "double oh seven...licence to killsch..." a la Alan Partridge. Again.

God bless you, Steve Coogan

Whenever my DC's say 'that's not fair!' I always swing my arms about, huff and call them Kevin.

DH and I love Toast of London and have started shouting 'who?!?' If we're ever talking about a sleb. The more well known the better.

and i can never just have a plan.

You HAVE to say 'I have a cunning plan'

OMG "but a dont even like bana-noes" has me ILL laughing

That is indeed Craig David on Bo-Selecta!!

oh, and a slightly nerdy one.

The question 'whats afoot?' has to answered with '12 inches as a rule'

and unless you know the macc lads song 'fluffy pup' this one will make no sense but 'now i've had enough' is followed with the refrain 'come on, fuck off, get stuffed'

I can only say Barnsley in a Barnesly accent. I am not from there, nor have I ever been there.

I do lots of Eddie Izzard ones - the "cake or death?" one is not advisable if you're saying it to your future MIL, who you've only met a handful of times and has never seen Eddie Izzard (no wonder she thinks I'm odd).

I do the hello thing - usually "is it me you're looking for?", sometimes "I love you wont you tell me your name?"(The Doors), and occasionally "can you hear me??" (Adele)

If someone starts to say "I like.." I can't help myself and interrupt with "big butts and I cannot lie!"

Afaik the Blackadder pronunciation of "Bob" is the only correct one.

mine are the "Flash" refrain, some bits of Peter Kaye.. specifically the Garlic Bread, Cheesecake and Precipitation, and 'dunk me' comments.

I have also been known to be heard repeating spike milligans 'he's fallen in the water' at random moments

I do some of the 'can't touch this' too, lol.

.....just remembered that I have to say the word "armpits" in a strong west country accent. I simply cannot say it any other way.

To the pp who says the bath water is a bit Princess Margaret when it's too hot - that is just perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Loving this

Totally agreeing with the KLF uh-huh!uh-huh! and "Mange tout Rodney.."

So much of this in our house. There's barely a day goes by without a reference to Alan Partridge. Like when Dh refers to an acquaintance of his named Dan (..Dan's a fantastic man...DAN!"), or when we hear someone with a south African accent ("I am not a sex offender!"). They are limitless.
Quotations from Phone Shop are also common. If we hear or see the name Janine we immediately say it in the lecherous style of Wheelchair Dave.

Aside from that, somehow I started a thing with dd where if we laugh at something together, we do it in the style of that little musical rhythm at the beginning of the song "Turning Japanese" (he-he-he-he he-he he-he heeee..) ...not sure if anyone will understand which musical bit that is!

Also, in our house Come Dine With Me and Four In A Bed are on a lot. Dd seems to think Dinner Date is too, but I've only watched it twice - anyway when Four In A Bed was finishing once, she started singing "Dinner Date, Dinner Date, Di-hinner Daaate. .." along to the theme music, so now we all do it. She gets us to sing it together when we're out and about sometimes, like in a harmony.

We have friends called Henderson

Whenever they are mentioned, DH or I sing: "The Hendersons will all be there" from the Beatles song (for the benefit of Mr Kite), then we end up humming the rest of the song, which we don't actually know the words to!

My dc just ignore me now, but whenever I drop ds off at school I always seem to get a spot near this big tree. So when he gets out, he has to duck under one of the branches. So every time I will yell "leaf me alone" as he swats the branch away. If we are just pulling up to the spot, I will say leaf me alone, and then he will come out with something like, "but we are just getting to the route of the problem", to which I will say something like "that means we will need to branch out in a different direction" etc etc....

Then eventually it will be 'fgs ds, get out the car or you'll be late for school'

Doesn't just apply to that tree btw. A lonely leaf can come floating down near us, and the whole thing will start off again.....

I do loads of these too.

DP and I have a thing where if in the middle of a conversation one of us loses our train of thought and says 'Um' the other one has to reply 'Bop' . As this usually has the effect of producing another 'Um' the next reply has to be either 'people', 'bongo' 'brella', and repeat until whatever conversation we were having is completely lost. DS doesn't get any of these references and therefore thinks were are completely insane, but I can see him joining in in a year or so!

:o JimmyGreaves - brilliant

sorting out the cat's food in the morning must be accompanied by:
"does anyone know the way?
there's GOT to be a way
TO CAT BREAKFAST!"

to the tune of Blockbuster by The Sweet.

What's truly frightening about this thread is that I've never consciously thought about the fact that I do this, let alone that the rest of you weirdos are doing it too :)

I really want to meet another Question: er, it would be so lovely.

Whenever I have to get Midazolam (or Temazepam) out of the controlled drugs cupboard at work I always sing "doo doo doo doo doo" a la The Muppets.

I always think I'm just doing it in my head... I'm not...

I love how eccentric we all are! .

If I ever say 'bye bye' to anyone, I have an almost uncontrollable urge to add "Hurry back!" in a very sarcastic voice and Scottish accent, like in Gregory's Girl. From the same film, I still find myself unable to say 'Don't be crude' except in a Scottish accent.
