Suggestion

OP can you tell me which stories are not true on the homepage of the Daily Mail please?

BTW, that is the very first time I have ever been on that.

Ahhh, where did that scratching of the chin originate? Us kids did it in school in the early 1990s and used to imply that one was telling porkies. Mary Whitehouse experience? Pretty sure I remember a sketch on there where someone did it.

I think you're right Monserrat or it might have been Vic Reeves.

It was around when I was in school in the 70s and 80s.......'not on the hair of my chinny chin chin' we used to say in primary school when someone was fibbing.......:D

Dunno where it came from, but I think it was before Vic Reeves and David Baddiel et al......
 
We used to say 'Ooooh, itchy beard', God knows where it came from though. I'd like to say it arose from, for me at least, when David Bellamy was prevalent on TV, but I couldn't say for certain..

Did you not also have an "aye, Jimmy Hill" while rubbing your chin (or a point about five inches in front of your actual chin if you weren't as gifted in the mandible region as the man himself) to indicate disbelief or was that just local to me growing up?
 
I don't read the Daily Mail, but, as semi-pro waster said, there are sometimes interesting articles that I would have not read otherwise.

Plus, it's quite funny reading the deluded readers' comments.
 
Pointless suggestion as some of the DM quotes generate good threads. You might as well ban some suggestions.
 
Where else am I supposed to get information about the latest episode of TOWIE/MIC/Whatever 'reality' **** is being peddled this week, without actually watching the programme?
 
There doesn't need to be a rule for everything :rolleyes:

If you don't like them, don't read them. Often the articles are only linked for reference and generate a good discussion. Not every thread is "Ahhh look what the Daily Fail have printed now...".

You know what, I think you might be correct on the Jimmy Hill thing. That seemed to stir up some long put to bed school-time memories.
