Not heard that one misen, but personally I use "just going to point Percy, at the porcelain"

We used to use this a lot in our house when I lived with my parents but not quite in that context ;-)
I think it comes from the old Ken Dodd radio shows when Ken would break off halfway through a sketch and say " I must just have a quick burst on mi banjo!" followed by a burst of ultra fast banjo music then he would say "By Jove , I needed that !! " I'll have a google and see if I can find it .
