Things you can’t resist answering in the same way each time you hear? (Light hearted thread)

[Wouldcouldcantwont]

Hi I’ve just found myself responding to the end of a song and I realise there’s a couple of things I HAVE to reply to each time.

At the end of Cuntry Boys & City Girls (correct spelling!) by the Fratellis a little voice says “Thanks for listening” and I have to say “You’re welcome”. Also, every time a character on Holby or Casualty uses the defibrillator and says “shocking” I reply “isn’t it?”. The family thinks there’s something wrong if miss one.

I’m hoping that I’m not the only person who has these replies!

Also, whenever Diane Abbot is on the news, we always repeat it like they do on Dead Ringers: “Diane AAAAbbot”

Oh yes! It’s not possible to say it any other way now,

I’ve got a sweatshirt with a bear on and ‘Alaska’ in writing underneath. Every single time I wear it, the first thing my OH says to me is ‘what did she say?’

We do lots already on here, inc following "Gordon Brown" by singing "Texture Like Sun".

And, if someone in court on TV says, "All rise" , DH ALWAYS sings, "For the Mother's Pride". It's not even the words to the Blue song!

On Midsomer Murders, when they say, eg, "Inspector Barnaby, Causton CID..." we sing "Superstore", like the old advert for (I think) Focus DIY superstore.

After "How long's dinner", we say, "No bigger than your plate".

Someone saying "a can" is always met with "A can I can't?". From The League of Gentlemen.

Loads more from them, and Spaced, Blackadder, Red Dwarf ("They're ALL dead Dave") etc. We watch way too much telly!

@PeskyRobins

I do language Timothy I am also old. If dd says "can you put my shoes/jumper on" I always say "they won't fit me!" If someone says "can I just get in that drawer? " I say I doubt you'll fit! "How long's tea?" Shows with fingers..."about that long! Are they small or are they far away? "Is that you Pesky?" No it's Old Nick

God I'm annoying!!!!

Whenever I'm asked "How long's tea?" I always have to answer "6 inches - it's a sausage!" (even if we're having mince)

I remember saying “language Timothy” to my friends younger brother when I was about 12. My friends was like, what are you on about, his names’s Ben???

Yeah I’ve been an old gimmer since a young age

"May the Force be with you"
Must always elicit the retort
"And also with you"
