Phrases
I was watching 'The Office' (the original) last night & heard Tim use the phrase 'Culture Vulture' & I nearly pissed myself!!! I've watched it many times before, but for some reason when I heard it yesterday, it was the funniest things I'd ever heard!
Anyone heard any classics that had them changing their trousers?!?!

I caught Only Fools last year, checked them out of our brill. library, after seeing y'all rave about it.
We all nearly died laughing including the kids. They keep going around saying "luvely jubbly innit"?
The Office is showing on our local PBS at the moment. I didn't enjoy it so much the first time around, but now find them hilarious.
