FUCK 'EM, I SAY!

 Recently I've been saying "Fuck 'em, I say!" a lot to the point where The Old Girl (La Grande Dame), after about the umpteenth exclamation said "that could become your catch phrase Matey".

Maybe she's on to something there as, if it was to 'catch on', it could save me the hassle of a lot of typing when something bothers me as I could just post a heading:

FUCK 'EM, I SAY! - (topic)

There are many TV comedy catch phrases that I'm sure you're familiar with. Here are some to remind you:

 The Royle Family - "My Arse!" 

 The two Ronnies - "It's goodnight from me, and it's goodnight from him."

 Are you being served? - "I'm free!"

 The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin - "I didn't get where I am today..."

 
 Catherine Tate - " How very dare you."

 The Dick Emery Show - "You are awful... but I like you"

 Dad's Army - "You stupid boy."

 Hi-De-Hi! - "Hi-de-hi!"

 Father Ted - "Ah go on!"

 Kenny Everett - "It's all done in the best possible taste!"

 Steptoe and Son - "You dirty old man."

 Some Mothers do have 'em - "(ooh) Betty!"

 Blackadder - "I have a cunning plan"

 Little Britain - "I'm the only gay in the village"

 Only fools and horses - "Lovely Jubbly!"
 
'Allo 'Allo - "I shall say this only once..."

 Father Ted - "Drink, Feck, Arse!"

 Monty Python - "And now for something completely different."

 One Foot in the Grave - "I don't believe it!"

 Catherine Tate - "Am I bovverd?"

 The Generation Game - "Nice to see you, to see you ... nice!"

The very brilliant Ricky Gervais, in his series EXTRAS played on this and created the silly and annoying catch phrase "Are you 'aving a laugh?"

Gervais was spot-on with this satirical put down.

We've been busy today with more clearing, decluttering, selling stuff, giving stuff away and taking things to the tip. re 'stuff' I'm stuffed!

I've got a few things on the FaceBook 'Neighbourly' local give-away site and when accessing it this afternoon saw that I had two responses to a 'sell' offer I have on another FaceBook 'Neighbourly' selling site where I'm selling a large chilly bin. This is a quality item that has an expandable handle like a suitcase and is on wheels. It is in 'as new' condition because we've never used it even though we've had it for several years. I checked on-line and to buy new it is over $250. The cheapest used item I saw on Trade Me was $120. I listed ours at a buy price of $80. The responders both asked if I'd sell for less - one for $50 and the other for $40. To both of these I simply replied back "NO" Cheeky bastards. 

"Fuck 'em I say" I said to The Old Girl but I should really have responded, instead of "NO' with, ""Are you 'aving a laugh?"
