Get back you bastards, I'll break your legs (lighthearted)

[familiesarrggghhhhh]

We've had a new CCTV system at work, very high tech, pictures amazing etc. The electrician was having a laugh and recorded said title - get back you bastards, I'll break you legs - this came on whenever someone passed a certain camera outside. Yes it's childish but it's christmas and we're all being very lighthearted.

We all found it highly amusing (I know it's the small things isn't it), but I was telling my DH and he just didn't get it.

Now DH is 9 years older than me, but from a very middle class background. I'm from a very working class background, we all went to parties at the working mens club, the WMC organised trips out to the seaside, about 10 buses went from one village. It was a mining village and my parents still live there.

So my question is (please its very lighthearted) what do you automatically think of when you read the title - are you oblivious or do you instantly know!

You don't have to comment on your background but if you are like me & DH does one of you know whilst the other one is clueless?

Is that my good typewriter?

It's a classic.
Black bin bags gets sung regularly in our house too.

I'm from Bolton so..

Same!

I worked with a bloke who was well known for saying 'inappropriate' things, for example he would come back from the toilet and say 'I'm half a stone lighter', or once 'Blimey, that was big! I've got postnatal depression'. He had words of advice from management in private. Didn't make any difference. He later got a diagnosis of Tourette's and BPD. The funny thing is, people are still saying those things years after he left!

I know and we say it all the time at home

I'm very friendly with the SAS. But you're not though Kenny!

We always sing the black bin bag song.😀

Wouldn't have had a clue, but I'd be thinking it was something said in a TV show relating to the person who charges over to the buffet and defends the chicken drumsticks against an auntie who says she eats like a bird, not mentioning that the bird in question is Phorusrhacidae Titanis walleri.

My other thought would be that the CCTV might be needed as evidence for something. Probably OK if it's 'just' a theft, but not necessarily if it's something more serious.

I don't think it's appropriate for a work environment. I haven't heard of Phoenix Nights.

I'd forgotten about this old thread - thanks for resurrecting.

Obviously the most appropriate line for work is "I want to moonwalk but life's a shithouse" .

Phoenix Nights. I can hear it in the Bolton accent and everything.

I recognised it but tbh it needs the accent and delivery to be funny. That's why MN doesn't get it.
