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

It can't just be me

@DesdamonasHandkerchief

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!

I say the Duffy Moon thing too. It's from this: www.imdb.com/title/tt0290131/

Weirdly, I can't remember watching that.

Pea and ham soup? .... from a chicken?

Don’t know if anyone remembers that

Another drinks one from a long forgotten Northern comedy - "I'll 'ave 'alf!" Was it the Uncle Staveley character? Ah, just remembered name of show - "Didn't Know You Cared" !

If ever any of the DC use a mild swear word I always say 'Language Timothy!' from Sorry. Bless old Ronnie Corbett.

Love this thread! If we ring the older kids first question is usually "what have you had for tea Dave?" And we cook "carrot crush" (both Royal Family!) Alan Partridge is another favourite, "DAN! DAN! DAN! if we're shouting for each other.😁

We do a 'Masterchef' every time we serve dinner.. 'Today I have made for you.....'

And there's an awful lot of 'Whats that all about, Ted?' in our house too

And of course 'Go on, go on, go on, goon, go on, go on' ...

Small..... far away.....
I hear your a xxxxx now? Should we al be xxxx?

And you have to say it... ' Today... I have made for yoooouuu..'

And.. 'Ravioli... followed by Ravioli , then ill have the Ravioli..... I like Ravioli' ..

[quote FlatterNow]**@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'.[/quote]
Nasty blouse!

My marriage and most of my close friendships are based on endlessly parroting Peep show, Partridge and The Office in lieu of proper conversation or our own jokes

@CurlsandCurves

If we’re in a restaurant choosing from a menu, one of us must say

‘I’m ‘aving the gnocchi’

When anyone on Masterchef proposes anything 'with a twist', we go all Royle Family, recalling Denise's infamous Christmas Day starter.

'...Cuppasoup, with a twist, the twist is, it's in a bowl'.

Maybe not well known enough, but we use lots from Sexy Beast.
Quite frankly your attitude appalls me
I'll 'ave the calamari (in whatever restaurant we are in)
No No No No No (Ben Kingsley style)

Saskia I don't remember watching that either, although the Imbd review section is full of people who use the phrase 'You can do it Duffy Moon' many of whom didn't know why! I want to watch it now and see if it jogs my memory.

A show that should never have been remade in my opinion. Even though Lucy Liemann and Martin Clunes are fine actresses/actors.

No, I actually sing it to the tune of the Stingray theme tune.

“Oooh I knooooow” is a staple phrase. As is “that would be an ecumenical matter”. We also picked up the phrase “Take him to the taaar” in the style of Ray Winstone in a long forgotten but truly dreadful Henry VIII drama.

And “Fire delta beam” when someone is leaving the house but faffing about. It came from some old US sci fi thing (possibly battlestar galactica or buck rogers) when the captain gave the order and it took about 20mins for it to actually make it through the ship to the people who actually had to do the firing. Mystery how they ever hit anything.

Where's that from? It's like us and our calamari

@MrsMoastyToasty and @TheNationsFavourite there aren't enough Fast Show references on here! I think that was the best show ever for catchphrases...

ooh, lovely old tree...lovely old wall...(when driving with the kids)
scorchio! and cumulonimboos when it's cloudy (every morning at the window looking at the weather)
this week we will be mostly eating..(usually said whenever anyone asks me what's for dinner)
very, very drunk (I actually know someone who talks exactly like Rowley Birkin QC in real life and I find it absolutely impossible not to say "were you very very drunk?" every time I see him!)
anyone fancy a pint? in awkward situations

Harry Enfield too - "considerably richer than yow" whenever a flashy car goes by and "women! know your limits!" whenever a female friend has a significant achievement, most recently when a friend got promoted!

Our company has a really loyal customer called Marlene, she spends a lot of money with us. Trying to greet her in a 'normal' voice is a challenge

DH: what do you want for tea?
Me: cheesy peas.

We do 40...45 years on a weekly basis.

Squeezy cheasy peas!
