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....

When I feed the dog, I sing 'everybody's got a hungry dog' to the tune of Hungry Heart by Bruce Springsteen. DH caught me once . Now I do it quietly, unless know he's out .

At the end of the titles to Will and Grace me and DH flash our stomachs.
I work work a Siobhan and everytime someone says her name I say "..your knickers, your Da's comig".
I think she hates me.

Ooh- just remembered another couple. My DS goes to Beavers (for those that don't know this is like junior cubs/scouts). As well as learning to avoid sniggering etc at the repeated use of the word Beaver, I am trying to avoid singing 'Beaver Las Vagas' in an Elvis style every time we put his uniform on or mention it in any way.

My DC's school entrance is on a small road and the local secondary school entrance is also on this road. So at the end of school there are loads of people all cramming to get down the same small street. I always sing Bob Marley's 'Exodus (movement of the people)' (well the 2 lines I can remember). DC1 is mortified. I don't intend to stop.

If anyone says 'I feel like [a thing]' (meaning I feel as if I am [the thing], eg 'I feel like an old man') I always say 'I don't know where you'll get one round here'. I'm just waiting for someone to call me out on it by saying something like 'I feel like a twat' Then when I say I don't know where they'll get one pointing out that there's one in front of them. Perhaps I'm over-thinking!

I'm only halfway through but I already love you all.

""henever I tell DS1 to 'put your trousers on' I always have to add 'have a cup of tea and think about leaving the house'." HAHAHA

My poor friend who starts every quesion with "Question:" really ought to know by know that I'm about to ask her what she thinks about me, and that I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings.

There was a short period of years when if anyone asked "What are you going to do..." I would chip in with "...all that junk? All that junk down in my trunk? I'mma gonna get get get you drunk."

It's truly amazing that anyone still speaks to me

Also for me Gordon Brown must always be suffixed with "Finer temptress"

Daphne - I did the same when "Free Willy" was out at the cinema, i.e. "...with every purchase"

Oh god I've thought of another one I always do. Timewise, if someone say's "it's 2.30" I always have to say "ooh time for a Chinese man to go to the dentist"....

When we pass an Aldi (or in fact even mention one) DH must sing "Aldi, Aldi, watch them all fall down" in the manner of the Pet Shop Boys. Lidl gets "Lidl by Lidl...we gave you everything you dream of.", Oasis-stylee.

When my kids scratch their bum areas, I sing "broooooown fingah!" in the style of Shirley Bassey.

The hi-fi in my car doesn't work, and I spend every single journey pretending I'm on Desert Island Disks, in a Texan accent. I even sing the songs.

If I'm asking people to do something, it always ends up being "X can you do this, Y could you pop upstairs and get the washing, Z...just go forth into the street."

If my dad has to take any woman or girl's hand he always tells them "You have a woman's hand, my Lord!"

:o :o :o Beaver Las Vegas

MN has already ruined Beavers for me (hur hur) as I always remember the guy who proudly told his new colleague: "My wife's a beaver leader!" and she collapsed into hysterics.

I'm cold or I'm old, are always said in Joey-bad-acting style

A very Python-Esque 'Run away' is shouted whenever one of our group of mates is ready to leave the pub

Also any reference to witches on any tv show prompts 'how do you know she's a witch?' 'Because She weighs the same as a duck'

Most others are friends ones, however, our friend Adrian gets his name shouted dramatically every time. He even introduces himself on the phone as 'hi, it's aaaaaadrrrriiaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn'

Also, nothing in our lives is is ever simply unbelievable, it's always 'unbelievable Jeff'.

We don't sing though. Which is probably better for the rest of the population.

Crying at all this. YY to can I (kick it) and Question:

I struggle when anyone says 'is it getting hot in here' as I feel compelled to answer 'so take off all your clothes' and there is almost never a time when its ok to say that.

Also when I go up ANY hill with the DC I start scanning the view for city smog and factory spill and tell them they'll never be free

Joey has a lot to answer for. If DH asks if we need anything from the shop, and I want milk, I have to start shouting 'a ghost! Why would you put a ghost in the fridge'

Paradise- you've just reminded me. I also sing/want to sing Kate Bush's 'running up that hill' if I see anyone doing just that. (As DS school is on a hill, this is quite common at drop off time).

Most obscure one in our house is 'put the bunny back in the box' whenever DH or I are getting close to losing our Schmidt.

We also both have to click our fingers after a hi-five.

I agree with pp, that STOP has to be followed with collaborate and listen.

GET DOWN is followed by on it (not and boogie).

Turn around (every now and then I fall apart)

Lmao at this thread

I remembered more.

When I get soap and glory Clean on Me, I always sing "clean on me, when I smell strong". Even when sitting on the loo and I catch sight of it.

I think I already do about 70% of the things mentioned here... and about to start the other 30%. Not only do I have to give a quiet "choo-choo" to DH on a train, he has to respond with "chugga chugga". If I'm on a train without him, we do it by text.

In addition - I work with a Nicole. Whenever anyone says her name, I have to leap in with "Papa?"

Another colleague is called Jose. Every time I mention him at home, DH has to ask, "was Hose B there too?"

Not only do I sing "Where's me jumper?" but, if I can't find gloves, I sing "whe - e- e- e - ere is glove?" in the style of Oliver. I was delighted to read Derren Brown's autobiography where he described doing exactly the same thing. I had to fight to urge to write to him to say I sometimes alternate is with "Where is the glove?" a la Black Eyed Peas.

I have a contact at work called Bronagh.

Every time I speak to her I have to stop myself saying "Hullo Bronagh" in a creepy deep voice after reading about a MNer who did just that - and it still makes me snort with laughter thinking about it

Ha ha purpleribbons if ds is eating peas and he drops one we tell him hes pea'd on the floor/the table/the chair ;)

I'm another one who has to sing the Big Bang Theory theme song when it's playing... It's so catchy! Same with the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt theme song!

Following on from my post about us singing 'ah-ahh!' in the style of Freddie Mercury after any single syllable response, just a few minutes ago DH asked what I was cooking. I said 'soup', which received an 'ah-ahh!' from him.

I laughed and showed him my post on this thread. He looked mortified and said, 'well, it sounds ridiculous when written down like that!'

I also have to sing that cheesy Ant and Dec footie song when someone says he/you're on the ball.

Heavens2 I also sing instrumental theme tunes but for "whoo wants too be a mill-ion-AAAIRREE"

As well as escapeas if we have olives we always say "O-live you", it probably only works as we're Brummies!

When I brush dd hair and say turn around.... I always have to sing Bright eyes.... She no longer lets me brush her hair

Random one if someone says desicated coconut - I have to do the train thing from big cook little cook.
