My sister (Paramedic at the time) used to refer to immigrant construction workers as Polish Pete and I liked it and used it on here for Peter Parsley - that actually seems to have taken off and it raises a smile every time I read it.
I'm the one who came up with the "feeeesh" thing on the big screen. I was a little kid in the North lower who thought it would be funny and ended up annoying everyone around me to the point where they joined in.

I coined the "Waaaaaasssssssssup!" greeting that featured in the beloved Budweiser advert from 2000.
I invented the greeting whilst harassing my estranged wife over the phone in 1983. Ironically I was drinking a lot of lager at the time. However, numerous cans of 'Skol' were my tipple of choice, rather than the ice-cold Budweiser celebrated in the aforementioned advert.
I sent in two made up jokes to Eagle Radio the local radio station in the 1980s who were inviting listeners jokes on "What do you call someone who......."
I've since heard both repeated on air.

"I'll believe when it's on the official site"
"The Spanners" is my favourite though
It sort of escalated from there.

How I laughed when I discovered Keith Chegwin was an alcoholic.
