As I told you I wonder whether these expressions show the same degree when used towards other people ( It is the first sentence that you want to remind them sth) :
1)AS I told you....... /As I told you that
2)I've to tell you again that....
3)How many times do I've to tell you that.......?
4)I remembered telling you that......
5)Have you forgotten what I told you that..... ?
6)I'll remind you again that...
7)I'll repeat it again that.....
8)Don't get mad if I've to tell you again that.........
What is the popular ones used in daily life with our friends/not friends? Please tell me.
