Catch phrases - do you repeat them? - which ones do you hate?
I've been guilty of using them ... much to Mrs M's annoyance
(If it didn't annoy her - there wouldn't be much point in saying them really!)

Now I'm not verging on being a bit of a loony but these are some I find myself uttering from time to time.........
I don't believe it! ... obviously.

Hi-de-Hi ... more often than not on holiday.... someone always responds, funny enough, usually a Jock.

I'm free! .... I know, I know - unforgivable.

.....and the brother in law had me in stitches the other day ..... he told me that he requested a certain sexual favour of his wife, who inturn replied with,
"Sorry, brand new customers only!"

I hate, with a passion, Nice to see you,etc

Our best man at our wedding started off his speech with
"Nice to see you - to see you - " and that was 33 years ago!!!
"Gordon Bennett!" gets used quite a bit in our house - and so does "Shut that door" and "Who let the dogs out?".

I tend to say "Oh dearie me" as used repetitively in "The High Life" if anyone remembers that

If someone says something which I think is a bit irrelevant I usually reply with " And your point is caller?" It usually gets me either a laugh or a smack in the face.
