Does anyone else say "spring rolls, spring rolls" in the style of Leonard rossiter?

It can't just be me

If anyone asks me to make them some lunch always ‘lunch is for wimps’ a la Del Boy yuppie period

"Course you can Malcolm" still said by me and my friend when anyone expresses doubt in their ability to do anything (Vick's Sinex, early 70s).

Not strictly comedy but there is no way on earth I can say the word 'Flash' without saying 'A-Aaaah!' Immediately afterward (even if silently. I used to work in web design when the software Flash was in daily use. I wasn't the only one.

"Gordons's Alive' and 'Flash, I love you but we only have 14 hours to save the earth'! Pop into my head too.

Mostly it's Hitchhiker's quotes in there though. 'i seem to be having terrible trouble with my lifestyle'

I quote Python a lot (far too often in DH's opinion), so now the DC do as well. I can usually unearth something for most occasions (nudge nudge, wink wink)

@RedRec gosh I say that regularly. I would even say it when in the classroom ( never taught a child named Malcolm, and was generally met with more confusion).
A pp said that they use so many that they could'nt think. Same for me.
The advert reference is interesting, especially jingles from adverts when they were interesting. I can often be seen dancing to the fridge singing R Whites lemonayyydddd. 😂

I saw 'course you can Malcolm' although I couldn't have told you why!
Also say 'You can do it Duffy Moon' - what's that from?
Agree with pp's on 'mange tout Rodney mange tout'. Think mange tout seed producers are missing a trick not developing a 'Rodney' variety!
And 'I didn't get where I am today ....' Definitely showing my age!

Oh, just remembered - I say I am feeling "all zingy zangy zongy" in the style of Ben from Outnumbered after Jake gave him a double espresso at the airport. That he added five sugars to to make it taste nicer. "I feel like lightning!"

We go all Victoria Wood if we have soup here " Two.....Soups."

In fact, I recently read her biography & realised how many bits from her sketches have crept into my family's conversations.

Us too. Drinks in this house are offered as "ooh a nice cuppa tea Miss Babs" or sometimes we opt for Blockbusters-style "I'll have a T please Bob"

You are all excellent.

We like to say “ It’s not for you, Jen” if someone can’t have something.

Dc said it the other day, very sadly about something. Which was very funny as they’ve never even seen the IT Crowd.

You what? Who? Wotchuonbout??

We use a lot of phrases from The Fast Show.
Favourites are "suits you" ones.

Can't mention anything to do with decorating etc, without sucking teeth, shaking head and muttering 'that's a supporting wall, Mrs Fawlty....'
Followed by 'I like a woman with spirit'.

On leaving the house, everyone has to call 'good luck everyone' from the last scene of Blackadder.

We use a lot of phrases from The Fast Show

Today, I am mostly eating....

Do you like the music of showaddywaddy?
No idea where it's from though.

Ah yes whenever we're talking about decorating we always point and say "lick o paint... lick o paint"

When asked if we want a drink we say ‘just the one’ which comes from a long forgotten 80s comedy.

Love this thread . We have lots for many situations.

That's a tasty burger

I'm watching you Wazowski, always watching
Ambassador you are really spoiling us
Great Scott!

That was ‘On The Up’. Just the one, Mrs Wembley?

We talk a lot of Victoria Wood, OFAH and The Fast Show too.

If one of us can’t find something, the other will ask ‘is it on the trolley?’
The we go back and forth with ‘can you point at it?’ ‘Is it a sorbet?’

For some reason ‘mange tout’ is used as a reaction to a piece of interesting news. ‘He said that? Mange tout!’

As an aside, DHs work takes him into a lot of big public buildings with facilities managers, caretaker etc. Apparently there are a lot of Stans (from Dinnerladies) out there, which makes me happy.

Mrs Wembley! Of course!

@StealthPolarBear, I just laughed out loud at lick o paint, lick o paint !
I must watch Fawlty this weekend.

I was in a supermarket the back of beyond one Italy. I heard from over the fruit and veg counters - basil? Bazzzzilllll!! and wondered if folks abroad knew about Fawlty Towers...

Great! Smashing! Super!

@CatNamedEaster @CurlsandCurves @TheOrchidKiller I communicate with my sister almost entirely in Victoria Wood quotes. Hence the user name... It's amazing how many uses you can find for the phrase 'Her ears are in the wrong place for a polo neck'.
