Also, most of Catherine Cawood's gems from Happy Valley.

"pissed-up, lightweight, empty-headed... noo-noo" and "tt-faced b*stard"

We used to have one for a guy I worked with who would tell long, rambling stories without a point;

"Talks a lot, says very little."

A great reply to someone (esp at work!) who's been rambling on about all their health conditions...

"wow... if you were a horse, we'd have shot you by now..."

The full version I'd heard is: "fk off, and then when you get there, fk off some more. Then keep fking off until you get back here. Then fk off again"

'Double-Chalker' I quite liked - in recognition of the need for a SOCO officer to use two sticks of chalk to the mark the outline of where they fell!

Describing someone who's a little stupid.... "He's got two brain cells; one's gone missing and the other one's out looking for it."
Similarly, “The chances of his only two brain cells bumping into one another and knocking themselves out?!”

This isn't particularly clever or acerbic, but for whenever someone was being boring or irritating, I always enjoyed my work colleague saying 'on your marks, get set, fk off.'

There is a thread identical to this from before, on which (with credit to that PHer) one person wrote a pretty good howler:

'Body off Baywatch, face off Crimewatch.'

I think there was also a line by the character Tony Stewart played by the late Alan Igbon in Corrie (used to describe Eileen Grimshaw):

"Floats like a butterfly, stings like a JCB."

Another favourite response. E.g. 'I don't like [xyz]'...'Why, what's wrong with it?'

'"What's wrong with it?" What's right with it?!'
