    'Do you see any green in my eye' - my mum (pulling her lower eyelid down with a finger) when you were trying to spin a yarn,
    and another with similar meaning - 'I'm not as green as I'm cabbage looking'.

    ‘Outta the light’ when someone was standing in front of the TV.

    ‘I won’t tell ya again...’ and invariably you were told many times after that.

    ‘When I was your age we never had...’ which I usually replied, I’m going to ask nana or granda is that’s true and then got a clip around the ear for being cheeky.

    “I’ll sell your other kidney”

    “Don’t make me tell all your fathers!”

    “I killed your real mother and took her place to get the children’s allowance. Don’t make me regret it!”

    Aw this is a lovely nostalgic thread :)

    My dad used to say let's went instead of let's go.

    You can cry till the cows come home but you're not getting it!

    Stop those crocodile tears!

    Don't make me tell you twice!

    Do you think I came down with the last shower?

    Hungry? Sure there's bread in the press!

    "Swallow your spit".

    "You have soup, you don't need a drink".


    I was a thirsty little ****er.

    My Dad always said that; the news was called "The Whisht" and we knew to shut up. In fairness we were a noisy lot :pac:
