Aiutami per favore
Are there equivalent expressions of the following in Italian please?
I beg to differ ( "I'm going to beat you!!" "I beg to differ!!" )
We'll see about that ( "I'm going to beat you!!" "Hmph, we'll see about that..." )
Tell me about it ( "This is so boring!!" "Ugh tell me about it!!" )
You're telling me ( "This is so boring!!" "You're telling me...")
Just saying ( "You had better do your homework!!" "I always do it!!" "Okay.. just saying" )
Time flies when you're having fun
Are you having a laugh/taking the p*ss?

I have a few, not all:
I beg to differ = mi permetto di dissentire (not used as much as the English expression though)
We'll see about that = la vedremo ...
Tell me about it = a chi lo dici
You're telling me = a chi lo dici
Just saying = (lo dicevo/era/ si diceva) tanto per dire
Time flies when you're having fun = il tempo vola quando si sta bene
Are you having a laugh/taking the p*ss? = me la rido
