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.

Brilliant😁

I was actually saying that voice in my head as I opened the thread, before I’d even read the OP

Same!

I did the exact same thing to my class today. At morning registration I have to ask them which lunch option they want. After about three kids an a row saying ‘sausages’ I couldn’t help myself.

I didn’t explain though. How do you tell an eight year old that back in the 70s a dog that made a noise like a word was the most popular thing on telly? That said they watch all sorts of stupid shit on TikTok.

Way to go - don’t worry 😂

My posh friend was off to an embassy a few weeks ago for a reception with the ambassador. Of course I said 'ah, wiz zis Rocher you are a spoiling us' in my best cod French accent. He looked at me as though I was insane.

I was giggling at the idea of the care home chaos this generation could cause, there will be lots of singing and dancing . Can just see us all jigging to oh 'Wild Boys' or Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go at the Christmas dances 😂.

In my head I am picturing that you have a real dog and he was sat next to you cringing at your dog voice when you had the shopping delivered.

I DO have a real dog and she was with me - sat on the wall observing. Even she was so embarrassed that she pretended not to hear.

I came read this after reading the other thread about laughing till you cry.
She was right. Thank you OP. I'm annoying my husband now so will come back tomorrow for a another read when I'm not with him 😂

PalomaColumbine · 18/03/2024 23:08

Apples, hazelnuts, sultanas, raisins, coconuts, bananas. How do you feel now this morning? A-ok!

FrancisSeaton · 18/03/2024 23:25

I did this at work the other day
I've no idea why

MrsMoastyToasty · 18/03/2024 23:27

Put cheese and peas on your next order then you can have some Cheesy Peas. They're brilliant!

Kittensat36 · 18/03/2024 23:32

Years ago, I was in a shop - think it was Woolworths - with my mum and they were playing an album of 30s songs in the background. The song was Putting On The Ritz. Gets to the line "where fashion sits...." And I shouted "pudding on the Reeeeeertz" in the style of the monster in Young Frankenstein.

My Mum fell about laughing. A passing pensioner looked at me as though I had completely lost it.

ALongHardWinter · 18/03/2024 23:36

If I remember correctly,that dog used to say 'Esther' as well. 😂

SilverTay · 18/03/2024 23:39

Whenever I see pea and ham soup at a supermarket I have to say out loud "From a chicken!"

Think you have to be Scottish and a certain age to know this advert!

Howling OP, brilliant Grin

Wallace And Gromit Cheese GIF

DH insists on imitating Wallace as he rummages through the Aldi ‘speciality cheese‘ box searching for Wensleydale.

I just trudge off and look for Walnuts which are conveniently three aisles away.

Actually more or less everyone else in there at the time we go has outlived their wits like us, so they probably don’t notice, or join in.

ChewbaccasMrs · 18/03/2024 23:58

Haha oh OP you've just made me proper laugh for the first time in ages.😁

DeeCeeCherry · 19/03/2024 00:43

😂
Me & DB still say it THAT way tho.

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

You've only 2 choices now OP - emigrate, or hibernate

IHateLegDay · 19/03/2024 00:43

😂😂😂 brilliant

LauderSyme · 19/03/2024 02:22

I knew the exact voice you meant OP!

I can't resist uttering "an ology" à la Maureen Lipman when a certain academic subject comes up.

I sometimes say "brilliant" when milk is mentioned.

Any word ending with an 'eeh-oh' sound might get the Trio treatment.

I still sing "If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join our club" and "a finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat."

Talk about dating myself 😆

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 19/03/2024 02:58

I'm totally in the minority and I really wish I did but I don't get it.
