When I get in the bath and it's a bit hot I always

[HoneyDragon]

Sing the end bit of International Playboys. Can't help myself, it just comes out.

Go on then people. Out irrational odd habit that one....

Sorry, last one! if a meal has any meat at all in it, I have to mock shout the outro to another brick in the wall,
Complete with Scottish accent, just as they finish 'YOO CAN'T HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DON'T EAT YER MEAT!!'. Similarly requests to stand still have to be shouted 'YOO,YES YOO, STAND STILL LADDEH!'

I have proper choked on my coffee this morning laughing at NWA stylee breast pumping. Excellent stuff.

piffpaffpoff me too.
I am going to have night of Abba with incorrect lyrics.

And singing to instrumental theme tunes - Emmerdale in an excellent one for that. Emmerdale Farm. Emmer Emmer Emmerdale Farm.

So many of these

In the morning after hitting snooze on alarm, one of us will go "bam bam bam bam bam bam bam GET UP" and the other will respond "Get on up" in the stylee of James Brown. We have to sing it through to screeching "like a sex machine" at the end, before we can actually get out of bed.

Dh will pat my arse and go "bottom" in his best Minion voice

BrianCox- I do all your Eddie moments! Do you also do the 'Run, Charlie, Run (in the manner of a slightly cockney bodyguard to Prince Charles)? In my household this is a must for any potentially 'threatening' situation (like DM/MIL knocking on the door, DS offering a freshly picked bogey etc). Also 'covered in bees' whenever we see a bee. As well as a reference to spiders making gravy whenever someone asks for it.

Also when posing for photos (weddings, christenings, anything) it is the law to call for long eared animals to be at the font and mention excellent photos for the people of the bible.

There is an ongoing battle in my house over the correct response to 'STOP'. DH is convinced that it is 'Hammer time'. I (being definitely right) know that it is 'In the name of love (before you break my heart- think it o-o-ver)'. DC seem to believe it to be whatever you like as long as you don't actually stop.

I'm pretty sure I need to get out more.

Reading these has made me remember some more!
DS and I always say "open sesame" to automatic doors. I've taken to saying it when i don't have DS with me; foster DS and his friends thought i was a bit weird the other week when I did it to the doors in hospital!!

I worried several children at DS school when I was helping out and one of them bumped their arm, and I told them amputation was the only thing to do. Although i did have to explain amputation to several of them so the joke was a bit lost.....

We also do a lot of these .

Somehow, the fact that the Dc are 6 and 4, don't get the joke and already find us embarrassing just makes it so much funnier!

DC2’s 4th birthday was a few weeks ago. DC1 saw the cake and asked for four candles to stick on top... 'Four candles, you say?" I took a bunch of forks out of the drawer and, holding them by the tines, offered her the handles...

DH and I laughed. DC1 stamped her foot and DC2 had a tantrum. I guess humour is something you grow into.

DH and I use our Jedi mind trick, complete with hand movement, to open automatic doors. Every. Single. Time.

My Dad (a total loon) will do an OTT loud bark/bite if anyone comes near his face. Weird enough with family but he did it to the doctor when he was having his nose examined, the poor guy shat himself!

lol Piffpaffpoff you've reminded me, any mention of air hostesses, air travel, or "high life" gets a full rendition of "we're living the high life" complete with aeroplane arms.

Ginbunny love it!

Oh Micah I do that too! And I have to say 'Oh deary meeeee' in a bad Scottish accent! It's all totally lost on my DH

When confronted with anyone called Will, I say "Wiiiill" like in the Natwest advert. "Yeah Wiiill".

Any Nina gets "Hi Nina!" in a chipper Scottish accent (Nina and the Neurons)

Julies get "Hi! My name's Julie! I'm with Ross now!" ("that sounds nothing like her")

This is in my head if they are actually there. Although one of my first boyfriends actually did dump me for a girl called Julie.

Our company has a client called Tuuli, every time she orders I wander around the warehouse singing truly scrumptious (replacing with Tuuli obvs.) I just can't help it, have never met the woman or even know if she it scrumptious!

I love how eccentric we all are! .

If I ever say 'bye bye' to anyone, I have an almost uncontrollable urge to add "Hurry back!" in a very sarcastic voice and Scottish accent, like in Gregory's Girl. From the same film, I still find myself unable to say 'Don't be crude' except in a Scottish accent.

Whenever I have to get Midazolam (or Temazepam) out of the controlled drugs cupboard at work I always sing "doo doo doo doo doo" a la The Muppets.

I always think I'm just doing it in my head... I'm not...

What's truly frightening about this thread is that I've never consciously thought about the fact that I do this, let alone that the rest of you weirdos are doing it too :)

I really want to meet another Question: er, it would be so lovely.

sorting out the cat's food in the morning must be accompanied by:
"does anyone know the way?
there's GOT to be a way
TO CAT BREAKFAST!"

to the tune of Blockbuster by The Sweet.

:o JimmyGreaves - brilliant

I do loads of these too.

DP and I have a thing where if in the middle of a conversation one of us loses our train of thought and says 'Um' the other one has to reply 'Bop' . As this usually has the effect of producing another 'Um' the next reply has to be either 'people', 'bongo' 'brella', and repeat until whatever conversation we were having is completely lost. DS doesn't get any of these references and therefore thinks were are completely insane, but I can see him joining in in a year or so!

My dc just ignore me now, but whenever I drop ds off at school I always seem to get a spot near this big tree. So when he gets out, he has to duck under one of the branches. So every time I will yell "leaf me alone" as he swats the branch away. If we are just pulling up to the spot, I will say leaf me alone, and then he will come out with something like, "but we are just getting to the route of the problem", to which I will say something like "that means we will need to branch out in a different direction" etc etc....

Then eventually it will be 'fgs ds, get out the car or you'll be late for school'

Doesn't just apply to that tree btw. A lonely leaf can come floating down near us, and the whole thing will start off again.....

We have friends called Henderson

Whenever they are mentioned, DH or I sing: "The Hendersons will all be there" from the Beatles song (for the benefit of Mr Kite), then we end up humming the rest of the song, which we don't actually know the words to!

Loving this

Totally agreeing with the KLF uh-huh!uh-huh! and "Mange tout Rodney.."

So much of this in our house. There's barely a day goes by without a reference to Alan Partridge. Like when Dh refers to an acquaintance of his named Dan (..Dan's a fantastic man...DAN!"), or when we hear someone with a south African accent ("I am not a sex offender!"). They are limitless.
Quotations from Phone Shop are also common. If we hear or see the name Janine we immediately say it in the lecherous style of Wheelchair Dave.

Aside from that, somehow I started a thing with dd where if we laugh at something together, we do it in the style of that little musical rhythm at the beginning of the song "Turning Japanese" (he-he-he-he he-he he-he heeee..) ...not sure if anyone will understand which musical bit that is!

Also, in our house Come Dine With Me and Four In A Bed are on a lot. Dd seems to think Dinner Date is too, but I've only watched it twice - anyway when Four In A Bed was finishing once, she started singing "Dinner Date, Dinner Date, Di-hinner Daaate. .." along to the theme music, so now we all do it. She gets us to sing it together when we're out and about sometimes, like in a harmony.

.....just remembered that I have to say the word "armpits" in a strong west country accent. I simply cannot say it any other way.

To the pp who says the bath water is a bit Princess Margaret when it's too hot - that is just perfect. Absolutely perfect.

mine are the "Flash" refrain, some bits of Peter Kaye.. specifically the Garlic Bread, Cheesecake and Precipitation, and 'dunk me' comments.

I have also been known to be heard repeating spike milligans 'he's fallen in the water' at random moments

I do some of the 'can't touch this' too, lol.

I can only say Barnsley in a Barnesly accent. I am not from there, nor have I ever been there.

I do lots of Eddie Izzard ones - the "cake or death?" one is not advisable if you're saying it to your future MIL, who you've only met a handful of times and has never seen Eddie Izzard (no wonder she thinks I'm odd).

I do the hello thing - usually "is it me you're looking for?", sometimes "I love you wont you tell me your name?"(The Doors), and occasionally "can you hear me??" (Adele)

If someone starts to say "I like.." I can't help myself and interrupt with "big butts and I cannot lie!"

Afaik the Blackadder pronunciation of "Bob" is the only correct one.
