* The newsgroup comp.sys.sinclair has many Catch Phrases amongst long-term regulars. From ''The Fast Show'' they <s>nicked</s> borrowed "I'll get my coat" (usually rendered as "IGMC") as a way to abruptly end a post.

Then there's replying to "name this game" requests with "it's definitely not Stonkers", and responding to sundry remarks with "you said that yesterday"...

* Joe Elliott says "Don't forget us, and we won't forget you" at the end of every live gig.
