Thumb, index and middle?

It's a Serb, or possibly Ustache salute. And given the Serbs had just rather expertly shelled their lovely bridge, they were not happy bunnies.

Girlfriend came downstairs looking stunning one morning. I looked and said "aw my sexy little Sara!" which was unfortunate as her name was Diane :s

Nay bother.

I took my wife to a drinks do a few years ago. She's a Mackem. The Daily Mirror columnist John Diamond (of blessed memory) was there and there was a bit of light hearted banter between the two.

She said something silly beyond earshot and he said "fuck off you Geordie". She replied "fuck off you Jew".

I've never been the same since.

Similar, been married about a month and my husband (now ex) was on duty so came home late. I'm in bed as he enters flat and call out "Is that you, Michael?". Considering the husband's name was R*****, it's quite surprising the marriage lasted another 12 years.

Not me, my mum.

I was diagnosed with MS 20 years ago and went to their house for Christmas dinner.

I overheard her saying "Don't give her the good glasses".

RIP, you sarcastic cow.
