Silly really...

grin - forgot to say thanks to you gransnetters , for these wonderful quips and messages ! bring on the sunshine .

oh what a way to start Monday morning !! due to returning home from w/end away !

yes these are what give our lives a giggle; helps keep our gin up; I always did such through out my years-- family favourite -- hommagoblins, for blood, they tried to tell me the right way to pronounce it, and commo- toes, all grown up now! but still laugh!

'Speak to me Goose' is another favourite of mine and DHs. From the movie 'Top Gun'

I have a real problem with the phrase Predictive Text, it always comes out at Predictive Sex. Has caused many a smile and guffaw.

Good Grief, Penfold!

Loved Hilda Baker. Jimmy Jewel in Nearest and Dearest used to call her a knock-kneed knackered old nosebag. DH calls me this sometimes. Charming!

I think Robin (Batman's sidekick) said it, storynanny. I say it too...!

I always say batman after saying good thinking. Not sure I ever watched batman or whether he ever said good thinking

When our Jack Russells chase our moggy we shout, 'Leave the Catalonia'

Ogden' s Nut Gone Flake. It's all coming back now

Grannyknot I think you might be right, funny cover, Ogdens something?

Oh dear, just finished our meal, went to wash up saying "right said Fred", finished clearing up and DH said "is there any more, mrs moore?" (No, we are not called Moore!)

Coming to the conclusion that SiL is right - we are bonkers.

For those interested there's some wonderful stuff on YouTube of Professor Stanley 'Deep-Joy' Unwin, and Hilda Baker, including a duet of her with big Arthur Mullard doing 'You're the one that I want!' From Grease, and the Prof on the old Michael Barrymore show. It had tears rolling down my cheeks, but I'm easily pleased!

Kittylester asked if Terry Wogan had lost it. I never thought he had it. He's in the same box as Bruce Forsyth as far as I'm concerned.

Wasn't Stanley Unwin the man who was on the Faces album that also had the number "Wouldn't it be nice, to get on with your neighbours ... "

A back seat driver Galen ?

My mother confused ejection seat with ejaculation seat!

We have a "round tuit" plate somewhere. As we never get a round tuit these days I have packed it away. But we often say it.

We have a mug with 'More tea vicar' on it. So has a friend whose son was engaged to the vicar's daughter. Since they broke up, she keeps pens in it!

Ps this has to be said in a strong NI accent!

When people are at our house having a cup of tea, DH always says 'more tea vicar?'. Gets some odd looks. Loved Stanley Unwin Gagagran.

Yes, I remember him!

When we were househunting nearly 30 years ago we looked at an absolutely immaculate house, admiring everything as we went round. The householder just kept saying "if it's not right, then my name's not Andy Murray". He was a lovely man , but we were in hysterics and couldn't get out fast enough. Now we often say that if we're satisfied with a task we've done. People think we mean the tennis player, but it was way before he was born!

Hylda Baker used to talk about someone who had been into hoispital for 'a hysterical rectumy' - Les Dawson used that too, in one of the Cissie and Ada dualogues.

I "don't mind if I do" was Colonel Chinstrap's invariable response to what he heard as an invitation to have a drink, in ITMA... Unwin - yes - talking about 'Humphry Littlebold with his woodwiilly of simbrant tone, causing a deep thraucus of the earloads - indeed a great joy. Oh folly!" I have an LP somewhere, called 'Rotatey Diskers with Unwin'...

Stanley Unwin would be proud of some of these! Anyone remember him?
