Just because you’re a little vertically challenged at your age, Claire…

If nostalgia is a drug, then we’re all addicts.

If you take yourself too seriously, you can count on Lottie to take the piss with you.

She should out “I’m to small”

Nostalgia is one hell of a drug, I take it who knows how much.

They don’t do nostalgia like they used to.

What happened with those scooter stalkers from the other day?

I’d like to have a shirt like Mimi’s.

“Nobody goes there anymore. It’s gotten too crowded.”

The Mods were under the bridge in those days, and also afterward, when the mods of God came in to the gimlet-eyed-hotties and they bore more mods to them. These were the mighty mods who were of old, the mods of renown.

So your sense of “sod” is on the money. Suffixial “off” marks a general epithet as an insult, as seen in “piss off,” “f-ck off,” “bugger off,” etc., all used in the manner of “please go away.” Also note that “sod” in this sense is UK usage only. In US English it only refers to topsoil and turf grass.
