Things Your Grandparents Used To Say.

I'll knock you into the middle of next week

Half a dozen of one, six of the other

Rarer than hen's teeth

Don't leave your bicycle out, the Mexicans will get it

yeah but, yeah but, yeah but (mocking me)

Eat! People in India are starving

Home James and don't spare the horses.

Don't put that coin in your mouth. It's been in a Chinaman's pocket.

I'll beat you within an inch of your life.

I'll tell our mother, then you'll be for it.

You kids today dont even know you're born.

Pass me teeth over lad.

Empty my commode sonny there's a good lad.

You'll have to start wearing long trousers 'cos your starting to scare the horses.

Don't swallow your chewing gum,it will get tangles up in your insides.

I DON"T WANT TO KNOW! ( with hands on ears)

My Grandad always used to say luv a chicken when he approved of anything.

The grandmother when she would find out a girl was in the bedroom with me (doors closed and me sneaking her in while the grandmother was a sleep),……………. “you’re too young to be doin’ that”. Another from her,……… “wha ja do this time?”.

The grandfather,……….. “I goin’ cut your hair boy”, while sharpening his knife. Another one from him,……… “nothin’ to it”.

Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs.
Quiet the whittle and wait the hurry.
That'll be gradely.
Going at it hammer and tongs.

Which I still use whilst refering to my Pattaya exploits.

Boy, you're thinkin with the wrong head

You should stay in tonight, the Beatniks are going to be on the Ed Sullivan show (Beatles)

Two sayings from my Grandad.
"Goo arrn Stan"
(shouted from the terraces at Stanley Mathews during footie matches).
"Hope me bloody teas ready our Hilda"
(shouted at my granny on return from the terraces).

A saying from granny.
"There's two bob on the mantlepiece, bugger off down the chippy. Did they win?"

At my grandads place , if you didn't like the look of what was put on the table for supper and said so he would smile and say :

" Never mind then , you can look out the window "

Children should be seen and not heard.

Dad to me: "I brought you ionto this world and I can sure as hell take you out if I want to".

Dad to me: "Shit, if I knew all you wanted to learn at the university was to chase women, drink beer, and smoke reffer I would have taught you myself and saved a lot of money".

Dad to me: "You not excused and your not getting up from this dinner table until yoou've eaten everythihng on your plate.... and that goes for you milk as as well."

Don't wipe your boogies on the gate.

Don't eat the orange seeds or an orange tree will grow out of your ears.

"Champagne taste on a beer budget."

I've always remembered that one.

"Twenty pence. Thats four shillings. Disgusting"

"Don't teach your granny how to suck eggs"

"Are you courting?"

You spend money like a drunken sailor

"You can't polish a turd" (my grandfather said that re: a car my brother was thinking of buying- we was dead right).

Grandpapa. "Get yer coat woman"
Grandmama "Where are we going?"
Grandpapa "You're goin nowhere, but I'm goin down the pub and I'm turning the heating off".

"tell your fuckin grandson to fuck off. He's no family of mine".

Grand mother: when the kids had a miserable expression on their face, just seen the colour of your arse and don't like it?
And when god dished out brains you thought he said trains and you missed yours.

"If your bloody mother was here now, i'd give her the sharp end of me tongue. And as for you, ya little bastard, if we ever find out who your father is we'll kill him as well."

"You're breedin' a scab, boy."

"You're not going to school until you finish your breakfast."

Grandpa: "Give er yakabuski", "she's a keeper", "you make a better door than a window"
