Phrases used instead of swearing

[The Great Cornholio]

Following on from a question in Ant and Decs Family Fortunes thingy, what quirky phrases do you use instead of swearing or just in general.

A couple for me - firstly, Scaly Backed Bograt. A phrase coined by the late landlord of the Rodmill pub in Eastbourne and one I still use today when not wanting to call someone a .

Usage - You Scaly Backed Bograt!!

Secondly, not a swear replacement but when I am feeling particularly pleased with myself, I have been known to utter "I am WEASEL!" From the Weasel/Baboon cartoons.

So, NSC SPACKER etc aside, what strange sayings do you use?
