Grim: We should lock them up and throw away the door. I mean the key!

Fowler (talking about Meccano): Young boys today, they don't know the pleasure they can get sitting alone in their room, with their tool in their hand, tightening their little nuts...

When Fowler is talking to Habib (sp?) about proposals and Patricia comes in just as she shouts "I COULD GET HIV, HERPES, GONOHOERRA!" and Fowler pretends he was talking about a Mexican drug lord or something, it's so funny!

Fowler: Oh my God, my hat is full of sick!

Any time Grim goes on about being 'hoity-toity, arty-farty, namby-pamby' etc!

Grim: "Well, be quick, don’t fanny about. I’ve no time for fannying about or otherwise. Fanny about on someone else’s time, not mine, ‘cos I haven’t got any. Find someone who’s got time to fanny about and fanny about with them. I haven’t mate, so fannying about with me is out."

I can't remember it exactly, but it is the one when Fowler chides Grim about his poor grammar.

When Patricia is about to tell Grim about a robbery and he says something like "CID deal with more important crimes than robbery" so she says, "Very well. Inspector Grim's house has just been burgled" and he runs back and yells "EVERYBODY, GO GO GO!" LOL

Also when he drives up to a house with CID, yells "EVERYBODY GO GO GO GO GO!" and then they all run up to the door...and he presses the bell! And then after about a second he goes, 'right, they've had long enough to answer, kick the door in!'

The "Fire & Terror" episode has quite a few good ones.

"I am a Sikh."
"No, Kev! You're too beautiful to die!"
"I could've ended up looking like a beautifully-uniformed... turd!"

I think Kevin's "OH I SEE Sir" is the best, especially when he crosses his hands and trys to look all clever.

[Fowler] I'm passing the collecting tin for the queen's birthday.

[Grim] Look you can fanny about birthday presents and Biggles me and my officers are busy.

[Fowler] My officers and I.

[Grim] What about them?

[Fowler] I'm simply informing you that the phrase is My officers and I and not me and my officers.

[Grim] Is that so? Well, me and my officers are on the brink of solving a credit card crime which is more important the speaking hoity-toitty!

[Fowler] The rules of grammar, "hoitty-toitty" or otherwise are ther so that meaningful sentences could be formed and more importantly, generally understood. Start stringing words together willy-nilly and it could lead to no end of confusion. Here Constable kray let me have that (taking Kray's report book), "The criminal ran round my side and out the back in a colossal lick." Jumble up the words and it becomes, "The criminal licked my colossal back side and ran out!".

[Grim] Is that so? Well then try these words in a different order, burger and off! or off and burger! Damn!

DI Grim (banging on computer): "I've booted up, I've patched in, I'm on-line, off-line, downloaded & extremely cheesed off."

DC Kray (whilst eating crisps of course): "You need to integrate your power supply at source sir."

DI Grim: "What?"

DC Kray: "Plug it in."

DC Kray (on why there will soon be no female officers in the force): "Your average villain objects to being interviewed by a copper with leaky nipples".

DI Grim (speaking to the BBC camera): "Normally our time would be a blur. A blur of drugs, violence, pornography, illicit sex...".

DC Boyle: "Course sometimes we have to do a bit of work as well".

PC Gladstone: "You know, I did object at a wedding once.".

PC Goody: "You didn't?".

PC Gladstone: "Oh yes...I said, 'the groom is a drinker and a philanderer'.".

PC Goody: "Oh no! What did the groom say?".

PC Gladstone: "I just told you. It was the only way at the time I could think of getting out of it.".

I agree... "Grim of the Yard" hehehe!

BTW: I liked the ER on the Queen's Emblem quote"... the one about the "ER" arriving... ("'ER " in the palace)... always cracks me up!

Also the Christmas episode: "Granpa with his pipe, enjoying a rough shag..."

And the whole routine with Brigadier Blastersump!
