"That was fun and to round off the day, I am off to steal a charity collection box and then desecrate a place of worship.” - Smokey, The Selhurst Arms, 26/02/02

I live with a Northern fellow and he has come up with some crackers. He said he woke up next to 'a lass with a face like a bag of smashed crabs' quite possibly my favourite description ever.

Then went on to say she had a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp.

Doesn't know if he's arthur or martha

When I was a young girl my Mother said to me.. You listen here kid you're CPFC

My mum has said 'you talking to me, or chewing a brick?' for as long as I can remember, but I'd never heard the part about losing your teeth before. After all these years, it finally makes sense!

I haven't thought of a phrase that people don't really use anymore, but one that I've often thought should have died out long ago is 'answers on a postcard'. Who does that nowadays?

I'm going to start saying 'answers on a text message' from now on instead!

ooh you are awful but I like you

The wedgie was definitely being used. Dunky was in the in expression for a condom that went out after the AIDS scare. The expression I remember my brother and all his mates using was 'F***ing Ada'. Also a Ian Dury track.
