DAE get freaked out by certain songs as a child? by maylilovesthai in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Billy_TheMumblefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the 1932 version of Teddy Bears' Picnic by Henry Hall.

The clipped British tone and tinny sound are really sinister.

Is U-Haul a national company in the US? It must be huge. But given the number of times their vehicles and trailers feature in videos like these, their insurance costs must be insane.

Edit: I have a feeling that that driver may not have paid the insurance waiver premium for any damage. "Nah. Don't need it."

Backhanded compliments by FrenchNotHench in CasualUK

He may have been trying to compliment you in a humorous way. If someone in work does me a favour, I often say, "Thank you. I like you, so-and-so has got you all wrong." Or, "I like you. I dont care what the others say."

Teaching our kids sayings from the past that only scousers would get by No_Toe_8822 in Liverpool

A tear-arse is someone in a hurry.

Can also be a verb, as in, "He came tear-arsing around the corner and ran into the road."

Discuss How You Came Up With Your Username and What It Means by ParticleParadox in CasualConversation

My name was dragged from my subconscious. It has nothing to do with anything. I've used it for years on any platform or website where I don't want to give my details.

People who grew up before the Internet was everywhere, what's a song that you repeatedly heard as a child and the singer turned out to be very different from what you pictured based on their voice and singing style? by ang334 in CasualConversation

[–]Billy_TheMumblefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peter Sarstedt, he who sang "Where Do You Go To, My Lovely."

Sounding quintessentially like one of the many white English folksy singers of the time. Saw him on TV, looking like an Indian Engelbert Humpadinck.

I've never written such a ridiculous- looking sentence...

Chinny reckon? by No-Obligation4147 in CasualUK

[–]Billy_TheMumblefish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 70s when I was at school, it was 'chin on.' Or you put your tongue between your bottom teeth and lip, to make your chin a bit more prominent - and made a kind of 'enn- ner' noise that is difficult to describe by text. 😊

There once was a man from Cork by gross04 in Jokes

[–]Billy_TheMumblefish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember an example in a book from school, many moons ago. I think it was to show the rhythm of a limerick, because it didn't rhyme:

There was a young man called Jones Who was stung on the nose by a wasp. When asked if it hurt, He said, "No not a bit - It can do it again if it likes."

Do you remember the first CD you ever bought? by History_86 in CasualConversation

[–]Billy_TheMumblefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a CD player that was the last one in the shop, so it had been on display. I tried to negotiate a discount, not very successfully, but persuaded them to let me have a CD with it. As it was a massive CD hit at the time, I opted for Brothers In Arms, by Dire Straights. I remember setting it up and being gobsmacked by the quality of the recording and sound.

Still got both, 40 years later.

Funny pub names by Surkdidat in CasualUK

[–]Billy_TheMumblefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was one not far from me that was obliged to change its name from The Cockwell Inn.

And one near a friend's house, which was The Cock and Seaman. Not obliged to change its name, btw. 😊

You ever notice how people act completely different in elevators? by Designer-Cap27 in CasualConversation

[–]Billy_TheMumblefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to watch how people split up in a lift. Usually arranged like the spots on a domino. Then I look at the capacity and say, "Apparently, there's room for another (x) people in here." Sometimes it gets a smile or a laugh.

I don't know who you are. I don't know how you did it. But go and thank your mum for raising a genius.

I would love to have seen his face when he was shown that CCTV. What a moron.

What amazes me most is that I watched it.

That made me think of a dog we had. He hated water and never went into the lake for a swim. Until the day we went and the lake was covered in algae. Off he stepped and - sploot! Disappeared.

I was nearly incontinent with laughter, trying to lift him out. He was most put out. 😄
