Bugger off

At 2:35 into this video Delboy says, "your marriage is going down the swanny and you bugger off to the flicks".

I've never heard "bugger off" used this way (the meaning is "you're going to the flicks"). Is this common in BrE?

It is quite common in spoken English. It is a rude way of saying "to go" or "to leave".
