Does anyone find themselves saying "Malibu" in the style of Victoria Wood?

It's not a word I say much but it's very entertaining

Not Malibu but I had a bit of a day telling people Spudoolickay had closed down the other week. Grin

DM and I regularly ask for 5 pints of sherry.

I have also mentioned that I treat my body like a garden centre because they're very popular on a Sunday

I literally can't buy red cabbage without shouting 'red cabbage how much?' to whoever is near me! GrinGrin

Sparklingbrook · 19/08/2019 21:16

My Mum and I still laugh when making 'two soups'.

Gamorasgran · 19/08/2019 21:17

Red cabbage no idea

Madamswearsalot · 19/08/2019 21:17

No to the Malibu, but I do like to say penis colada whenever I get the chance

Is it on the trolley?

There’s a disappointing lack of dessert trolleys around these days.

It’s just a good job Kimberley is quite an unusual name these days.

student26 · 19/08/2019 21:21

No but when shopping I always quote ‘can you see it on the trolley?’

Sparklingbrook · 19/08/2019 21:22

'Welcome to the world of sacharelle', I always think that when negotiating the make up/perfume section in a department store.

moocowmrs · 19/08/2019 21:22

@maidenover. I could not agree more a sad loss !

Have you seen my friend Kimberley?

MrsMoastyToasty · 19/08/2019 21:23

I always think of Victoria Wood when I hear the name Kimberly.

ChanandlerBongsNeighbour · 20/08/2019 14:22

I mourn the loss of the high street shoe shop as I always think of hens in the skirting boards!

Definitely say Malibu the same as Victoria Wood...I'm from Manchester too.
So many wonderful sayings from this Lady.
"It won't help you giving birth but it might stop you pissing yourself at Christmas"
"Come and melt the buttons on me flameproof nightie"
"He'd only fart and then attempt to light them"
"She won't come to see a comedy with me cos when I laugh chips come down me nose"
The list is endless.

“He’s agoraphobic, he fell off a diving board in guernsey”

We say this all the time in our house

CMOTDibbler · 20/08/2019 22:20

We always do 'maliboooo' and 'my friend Kimberly'.

And I am delighted to report that our local Thai restaurant has a dessert trolley and we always have dessert there just to do the trolley jokes. Even though the desserts are so retro that they aren't even ironically retro.

StealthPolarBear · 21/08/2019 06:28

Forgot about this thread.
I'm afraid to report my mally boooo drink was disgusting but it did remind me of vw and make me smile :) I don't remember a lot of these other ones though.

Whenever it comes to offering a choice I find myself consciously not saying "would ya rather 'ave a brown washing up bowl..."

Adversecamber22 · 21/08/2019 09:22

Been on a low light since Wednesday
And for viewers in the North, it must be dreadful for you.

My friend is from Yorkshire and inadvertently funny I have often said it feels like I’m in a Victoria Wood sketch.

TanteRose · 21/08/2019 09:27

when buying either yogurt or meat pies:

"I couldn't get you a raspberry yogurt, so I got you a meat and potato pie instead"

Grin
TanteRose · 21/08/2019 09:28

and when cutting ANYTHING up...

"slice them finely...someone might choke to death"

gassylady · 21/08/2019 09:33

It’s the world of sashareelle that does for me too. The fact I’m giggling like a numpty every time I walk through cosmetics dept is why I’m never deemed worthy of a free spritz. Not the fact I generally look knackered and not rich enough to bother with!

*when buying either yogurt or meat pies:

"I couldn't get you a raspberry yogurt, so I got you a meat and potato pie instead"*

This! Everytime.
