Hah!
The girl who sits opposite me just used "Man alive!" as an expression of surprise.

I thought I was the only person who still did that. Perhaps I'm a subconscious influence.

Brilliant!!
I keep using the word "Cripes!" whenever the need arises, I am trying to get it back into the public vernacular.

I like to say:
"Man alive, there are men alive!"

I either say "gosh!"
or "fuck me sideways and up a wall!"

they're my two favourite ways.

I suppose the term "Gosh!" would be quite appropriate when being "fucked sideways up a wall"!!

espeshially if taken by suprise

I once managed to get an Aussie to tell me to "Rack Off!"
I've never seen anyone blush so hard.

I think I'm the only person that uses,
"Louis Farrakhan Hall!" as an expression of surprise but I invite you to do so.

Superb!
I like it. I caught myself saying 'Good Lord!' when the lady at the train station ticket office told me it was already half term a few weeks back. Antiquated exclamations are excellent - who's up for Hell's bells, stone me and by jove?

Also, I'm currently starting a one-man campaign to bring back the phrase 'by God' at the end of sentences to really reinforce the authority with which something is said. Who'll join me, by God?

egad sir, I'm in!
As a regular user of 'Good Lord', 'I say', 'Chin chin', 'Chocks away' etc, I am at the vanguard of this campaign already, don't you know.

My friends think I am 'posh', the bounders.

It can be further improved
by saying things with quite a deep, gravely refined voice, by God.
