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.

It's the only way to say "sausages" in this house but we all get the joke.

Looking in a shopping bag and randomly saying "sausages" in that voice to the delivery guy has got me howling 😂

FrangipaniBlue · 18/03/2024 19:35

I too read the title in "that voice" without even opening the thread!!!

creeashun · 18/03/2024 19:35

I used to work near Harrods and That's Life used too film in the street round the back. I'd see the team there on my way in. Loved that show

Danikm151 · 18/03/2024 18:29

Next time say “potaaaatoes” in that voice

STOP IT!! 😂😂😂😂

parentallyadept · 18/03/2024 19:38

It's "just the one Mrs Wembley" (from On The Up) in our house whenever DH and I have a drink. My DC look at us like we're mad, which makes it all the more funny 😂

unsync · 18/03/2024 19:45

Did you gnash your teeth as you said it though?

LunaNorth · 18/03/2024 19:47

You’re going to have to open the door and shout this next time, OP.

Cadburys Whole Nut

Currently have a frozen shoulder and just made it hurt a hell of a lot by laughing, thanks OP Grin didn’t realise how much I needed a proper laugh!

pictoosh · 18/03/2024 19:50

This has made me genuinely laugh out loud. Read it out to dh...we are both mortified and delighted by you. Ta.

Silverumbrella · 18/03/2024 19:52

It’s threads like this that keep me on MN.

I too said sausages in the voice before I opened it. My dog pricked his ears up, ran across the room, hurling himself at me (he’s a crazy loon)!

HurdyGurdy19 · 18/03/2024 19:53

OMG, that literally made me laugh out loud. And long.

I can feel your embarrassment from here, and I know if it had been me, our house would be on the market now, and I'd be looking for somewhere at least 200 miles away 😅

lemonbiscuit · 18/03/2024 19:54

Best thread of the day!

Instantcustard · 18/03/2024 19:58

😂Thanks for the laugh OP! I didnt think I had seen many episodes of Thats Life but its surprising how often they pop into my mind!

citrinetrilogy · 18/03/2024 19:59

Could have been worse, you could have said "ChEEEEEse, Gromit!!!"

I have just been saying it front of the mirror - to further torture myself with how mad I would have looked to him.

I said it with my chin tucked low (so forming a double chin) and my jaw sort of locking between syllables.

I KNOW this is the correct methodology, but HE doesn't.

Oh you poor tortured soul. You'll have to emigrate just to be sure to never see him again Grin

Wall's..

No, they're "sausages!" 😂

JaffaCake70 · 18/03/2024 20:01

🤣🤣🤣 I found the video of the 'sausages' dog on YouTube just recently, it's still hilarious to watch.

You've made my night 😂😂😂

Alwaystired2023 · 18/03/2024 18:44

I once said 'garlic bread' in Peter Kay voice in the middle of Aldi, so loud, for no apparent reason. Mortifying 🤣🤣🤣

Hahaha

DH and I said it to each other in M&S once when buying a pasta meal deal and the chap next to us joined in the skit. It was the highlight of the weekend Grin

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

Yep, I do that too. As well as "I'm Dill the Dog. I'm a dog called Dill". Complete with panting.

I'm sure that the sausages dog also said "Essssssther". It took every ounce of self control not to say it like that when an Esther joined our team at work.

Gettingonmygoat · 18/03/2024 20:02

Oh god i have tears running down my face😂

Just as well she didn't order a bottle of Shake and Vac, and did the dance! 😂
