I was behind someone in the Newsagent who bought a Judge Dredd Megazine. The insurgency grows!

Spent the morning waiting for the Scottish Gas engineer who will definitely be here before 1:00, since its an emergency.  Now been told that the whole company only has one engineer for the whole of central Scotland, who is too busy, but will definitely be here before 5:00.    Screw you, Scottish Gas.

Gaaah...

I've got the "Scary Mary skins a canary every Saturday night" tune running around in my head, leaving ruts and knocking things over. In the name of God, please, make it stop!

You know when it snows and it makes your street look completely different? Well this morning was like that, but with school kids instead of snow
You may quote me on that.

You think that's bad? I've got Jilted John stuck in me head. Keep getting funny looks when I shout "GORDON IS A MORON!"

In Scotland, it's Aunty Mary had a canary up the leg of her drawers. The poet goes on to describe how she pulled a string (to make it sing), leading to the sudden appearance of Santa Claus.

Any other regional variations?

Eww, that sounds very... euphemistic :&

Not an equivalent but Dublinese has the similar sounding Up in Nelly's room behind the wallpaper – sounds like the location of a sinister presence in a horror film – which is a slang response to the question of something's whereabouts.

I'm in Norfolk and am unaware of any such rhyme.
I have been known to sing "I shagged your mum, she opened up her legs and gave me one, it was fantastic, she takes cash or plastic." To the tune of The Sign by Ace of Base, but only since the 90s.

Hmm, a local answer to the same question is "up ' suff at back o' Martha's in a jug," which means "up the chimney at the back of Martha's house, in a jug."

I wonder whether the Terminator films could be the prequels to the Matrix films?

Impossible, seeing as according to the fucking comics Robocop accidentally created Skynet.

The Legendary Shark

Robocop > Skynet > Matrix.

Still works!
