aibu to wonder whether Peter Kay reads aibu?

[Inertia]

Just caught up on his car sharing programme - there's a line where he says 'Are you on glue?'

No mention yet of decorating wedding venues...

Its quite an old phrase and not invented by mn?

YABU that's a well known phrase up North. A silly one but nevertheless...

I've heard the phrase before, but never seen it on mumsnet.

Oft toted phrase at school (i left 12 years ago) gluezilla had to get it from somewhere!

That phrase is as old as the hills

Or at least it was popular in the 1970s

It's the same as when people attribute the phrase 'words on a screen' to ScottishMummy.

I'd seen it on many other forums at least 5 years before I found Mumsnet.

We all say that round here and have done since people started sniffing it.
I remember it in the Lancs and North Cheshire in the 80's.
That's not to say he isn't frequenting AIBU.

I can imagine Peter Kay on MN though. He'd get very into parking war threads I think.

The female actor in it and two other writers wrote the script. Peter Kay amended and added bits but isn't the main writer. Although presumably a fair bit if it is improvised.

I'd say it was very possible one of them is on MN but don't think 'are you on glue?!' originates from here.

(Tim Reid and Paul Coleman are the writers. Think Sian Gibson- Kayleigh - added bits and Peter Kay directed it and adapted the character to fit his own age etc. I know no-one asked that but... )

Reese Witherspoon said it in Legally Blonde. 2004? Not sure of the date actually so around that time. So it must have been around a while before even that.

I must have grown up in a cultural vacuum - genuinely never heard it other than on here.

It was popular in the US in the 1980's when I was at school.

I've only come across it on MN and did don't when it cropped up on Car Share.

I love that programme - best thing I've seen since Poldark in ages .

I snorted when it came up on CS - bloody tablet!
