Obviously a good actor as his character in the soap was not particularly nice if I remember

Play it again Sam
who’s looking at you kid

'Here's looking at you, kid.'
'Round up the usual suspects.'
'Play the Marseillaise.'

No-one said 'Play it again, Sam.' Ilsa said 'Play it, Sam' and Rick said 'Play it.'

Kirk never said 'Beam me up, Scotty.'

And Holmes never said 'Elementary, my dear Watson.'

I said Chinny Reckon in a team meeting at work recently (before the meeting started) and only one person knew what I meant.

My mate says this to me lol

Me too. My kids always add a "boom boom" after they make a funny comment because of this.

“What did Horace say Winnie?”
I think this dates from Harry Hemsley’s radio programme(?) from many moons ago . My mother used to say it a lot when my children were learning to talk and were often unintelligible!
