Hi I am retired but have a part time job off-loading wagons at a supermarket. I have had a number of run-ins with one particular driver as described in the question. However this morning whilst I was off-loading he started whistling the tune to Grandad and continued until I had finished. As he walked back to his wagon he started to sing it. All I know of this driver is he suuports Celtic and is vertically challenged. Does anybody have any ideas as to a tune I could whistle when he next comes visiting, or maybe some repartee I could administer.
Or you could sing "Mama's little baby loves shortening, shortening. Mama's little baby loves shortening bread." with emphasis on the word "shortening'.
I can just see branca chanting this and getting the sack!!!!Androcles. But it would be an absolutely great put down to someone who is trying to annoy you - like sticking your fingers in your ears!! Well done.
This will wind up any Celtic fan: 'The Billy Boys' (same tune as 'Marching Through Georgia'. He'll think you're a Rangers fan and an Orangeman. Just watch what happens.
..or one of those 'Child on board' labels, but change child to 'midget'. Come to think of it isn't there one that actually says 'Small person on board' - job done.
Hi - thanks for the suggestions - Hi Ho is a beauty.
Jock - don't know "Marching thro Georgia" - will have to hunt it down because that WOULD really annoy.
