I just said "Sausages"

So, yeah...

I just said "Sausages" in the stupid, growly "That's Life" 'talking dog' voice (you'd have to be old to know what I'm talking about) to the Ocado delivery man, and now I can never order from Ocado again.

I don't know why I said it. I don't think I've ever said it out loud in my life before. I was about three when it was on TV and didn't even know I'd stored it in my brain.

I glanced in a bag and saw some sausages and it just came out.

Delivery man was quite young and fit and looked at me very briefly like I was mad. And then didn't react at all - which was worse. We both sort of pretended nothing happened.

"Sausages". In THAT voice.

I’m in hysterics 😂 “medication that’s what you need” 🎶 it’s what I bloody need that’s for sure 🤣

Oh and now I’m singing doc doc doc doc doctor beat ….

This is great! With every update you sound more & more fab OP.
I wish I knew you in real life, I'd definitely get all your jokes.
Actually snorted at you saying it in front of the mirror! 😄😄

MarvellousMidgeMaisel · 18/03/2024 18:59

Maybe we could all start doing it when Ocado deliver? Make it a trend. Who what he in what van? Jesus in the cabbage?

I often ask my kids if they want "daddy or chips" for tea. When DC1's friend was round he looked at me like I'd gone insane.
I also sing Bodger and Badger whenever we eat mashed potato, and any reference to ham, eggs or tea is done Two Ronnies style - F U N E M? Even my 5 year old does this now.
Not to mention 2 soups...

PossumintheHouse · 18/03/2024 19:01

Hahahahaha.

Oh please order from them again. Can you select your delivery driver?

Next time he comes round I want you to inspect your shopping bags while doing the Scooby Doo Scooby snacks laugh.

MissyB1 · 18/03/2024 19:02

I can’t chop Parsley without singing “I’m a very friendly Lion called Parsley..” neither Dh or ds get it.

HesterPrincess · 18/03/2024 19:07

I think my dog may be sat outside your door if he heard you.

That's how we say sausages in this house too Grin

Thunderpunt · 18/03/2024 19:08

We occasionally have minestrone soup on our specials at our restaurant. I have been known on several occasions to wobble over to a table a la 'Mrs Overall' warbling 'two soups' I do stop short of slopping it everywhere (gotta make some tips somehow contentious topic lol)

Soubriquet · 18/03/2024 18:51

Yeah I’ve know to sing “I need a wee wee” to the tune of I need a hero… got a few looks for that

I've now got that stuck in my head! Thanks 😂

This would absolutely make my day if a waitress did that 😂

Fannyfiggs · 18/03/2024 19:12

Absolutely hilarious 😂

I once sang to the bus driver who drove the bus I got on every morning to go to work. I never saw him again 😭😂

ohtowinthelottery · 18/03/2024 19:13

Hilarious that the delivery driver was too young to understand the joke but it's a perfectly normal way to say "sausages " in this household.

I also say "language Timothy " on the voice of Mrs Lumsden (from Sorry) when someone swears in the house, even though no one called Timothy lives here.

I still say this too but also “Good Moaning” to everyone at work. (If you know, you know). Think it goes right over their heads - probably just think I’m weird lol

RickyGervaislovesdogs · 18/03/2024 19:21

Bah Hahahahaha! 😆🤣🤣🤣

Jigglycancan · 18/03/2024 19:21

Oh God that's hilarious. I've done things like this, laughed my head off at myself and then watched the tumbleweed sweep past.

This reminds me a little of a thread where a poster had shouted "you slag" in reference to the sweeney - at a tradesman (a painter up ladders possibly, I can't properly remember) and he didn't take kindly to it. I'd have been cracking up.

We do all sorts of voices and impressions. A favourite is a random phrase in a french accent to copy the perfume adverts when something doesn't make sense. Only DH and I find it funny but anyone overhearing would think we were bonkers.

OMG I say 'language Timothy's all the time too but in work they just look at me as though 'who tf is she talking to, there's no Timothy here 🙄'

Purplecatshopaholic · 18/03/2024 19:23

Love it! That’s how we say sausages too. I say it to my dogs in the hope they will copy me…. Its not happened yet. We also have daddy or chips decisions in this house. And obviously we have to sing Halfway up the stairs from the Muppets to the dogs when they congregate on the stairs…

Kittycat333 · 18/03/2024 19:28

My mother still screeches CUSTARD in a Tellytubby voice when she spies any. She thinks she's being discreet 🤣

Notgoodatpoetrybutgreatatlit · 18/03/2024 19:29

Nice one op. I am always explaining old people jokes to people at work. I clicked on your thread in case it was about the that's life dog.
Also all ocado delivery drivers are cool and good-looking. Mostly very young. Male and female. I told my gay male mate he should swop to ocado, sometimes they have been so beautiful I've been struck speechless.
