That's another one I haven't seen. Thanks.
Part of the reason I posted this, is because I knew
the UK people have access to more and would come up
with some good suggestions.

Er... Can't say I know much of them, but I do love Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

"Your arms been cut off!"

"I've had worse!"
