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....

If my family are ever travelling somewhere following each other's cars my brother always text me from the car he's in to say 'looks like we got ourselves a convoy boys!'

or else we text back and forth quotes from when they're in the cars in Jurassic park.

I say one which I think is Rik Mayall (Maybe Kevin Turvey) related. If I walk in and DH hears and says 'is that you Sparkling?' I say 'No it's the Dave Clark 5!'.

fuckyouchris best SpongeBob song ever!

GinBunny genius!
We sing that a lot when DD forgets to bring home her school one.

We also do 'take a chance take a chance take a ch-ch-ch-chance" in Monopoly.

Talking about that South African song, mention anyone South African and one of us will generally say 'deeeeplowmatic eemuniteeee"from Lethal Weapon 2. Which is then correctly followed by the other person doing Patsy Kensit's simpering 'Offisar Reegs' (apologies to all South Africans)

Piff we also drop an occasional "tin tharsand krugerands" when asked how much something is.

Just remembered - if anyone says "fillet of fish" either DH or I have to say "for my vife" like the man in the 1980s McDonalds adverts

oh, happy memories of NotThe Nine O'clock News :)

We sing "We like chicken, we like chicken, we like chicken and we like to cluck" to the tune of "We like truckin' " from NTNO'CN

Oh blimey just thought of another ridiculous one; if (for whatever reason) someone starts talking about carpets and underlay, etc, I have to say "anderlay, anderlay" with a dreadful faux Mexican accent. I think it was from some awful 70s pseudo-spanish song?

When the occasion calls for it (not often), I sing "lock the taskbar, lock the taskbar" to the tune of "rock the casbah".

Surely everyone does that Palmtree?! Not weird at all. I'd love to work in a carpet shop so I could say it all day long!

Every time someone mentions Cairo

BowChickaBowWow I feel so comforted to have found my people!

(p.s. "Flash, Saviour of the Universe", was played on Radio 2 this morning just before 7am. I immediately thought of all the lovely loonies on this thread .....)

This may out me, but whenever my dad or I enter each other's houses, or enter a room that one of us is in, we always open the door and call, "Ye in, Margaret?".

My granny was called Margaret and her friend would call this out if she popped into my grans house. My gran has been dead 10 years now and its still stuck with us.

I have to say "anderlay, anderlay" with a dreadful faux Mexican accent. I think it was from some awful 70s pseudo-spanish song?

I believe it was from Speedy Gonzales, a cartoon.

Surely everyone says "I'll be back" in an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice when they temporarily leave a room...?

Everyone in our family says the word "beetroot" in a daft falsetto voice. Can't for the life of me remember why.

Thanks for this hilarious thread, my ribs are aching.

bomfunk I am DELIGHTED by your Partidgisms the fact that your parents have never asked about where "YES its an extender" comes from is the icing on the cake

I'd forgotten about the fact that I introduced Dh to the League of Gentlemen a few months ago. Anytime we talk about something local he delights in booming "this is a LOCAL shop for LOCAL people" etc

Every time I hear the ring tone through the hands free on my car I have to sing

'I'M IN THE PHONE BOOTH IT'S THE ONE ACROSS THE HALL'

Like Debbie Harry at the beginning of Picture This.

Do I mean ringtone?

The brr-brr noise that means it's ringing.

If my ds says he can't do something I always reply 'Course you can Malcolm!'
When we're on holiday in the States any sighting of a sheriff's car is followed by DH saying I shot the sheriff but I didn't shoot the depudee in a fake Bob Marley/ Deputy Dawg voice.

Surely everyone says "I'll be back" in an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice when they temporarily leave a room...?

No. It's "I may be gone some time" like Captain Oates on the Scott expedition. Except we expect to come back, sometimes quite quickly, rather than freezing to death.

If ever anyone says "See you later Alligator" I have to say "In a while...... dickhead"

Thanks, Lee Mack

DD has a school friend called Ruby. Every time DD talks about her I find myself crooning "Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Rubeeeeeeeeeyyyy!"

When Ruby came for tea, she was a bit when I launched into the same.

If anyone says 'that's 'andy 'arry', I have to say 'stuck it in the oven'. It's from some advert for frozen chips.

Also I have to say 'a crocodile sandwich and make it snappy' when a waiter has just taken our order. I always wait until they're out of ear shot though.
