    I am looking forward to the "belt" having its own mini-story as it goes off to have a holiday fling with one of Mr T's neck chains! :)

    Mine too, but I'm about to drag it down with some terrible puns.....I thought of a name for "The Belt", but you'd have to be of a certain age to get it, sorry to all you younger posters but here goes....I warn you it plumbs the depths of awfulness...

    Lon(g) Chain(y) Junior (it can't possibly be the original!)

    Also how about some incidental music, next time Dreary has a family get-together "Chain of fools" by Aretha Franklin could be playing on Uncle Albert's old gramophone :D:D

    I love love love this thread. I thought I was the only one who noticed Deirdreh's fabulous belts throughout the years. I love how she has been consistant.

    Can't wait for tonight's doubler - possibly one whole hour of 'the belt'.

    Wow! :D

    With all this attention being focused on Deirdre's belt, Hayley's red anorak is slipping under the radar.:D

    I also thought I was the only one to have noticed the chain belt and that its part is getting bigger in the show.

    I hope it has an equity card and is getting paid a fair wage.

    I think that there was definitely 'a belt' in tonight's episode, but I don't think that it was 'the belt'

    :confused:

    Thoughts?

    Aahhh ... the chain belt! I think she also used to wear a suede "chain" belt with tassels some years ago.

    I did notice tonight that she had on a huge, long skirt and I very nearly threw my chain belt at the telly - that is SO not Deirdre!!

    Is it possible she swallowed some of her old chain belts because her voice is getting more gravelly by the day - sounds like my neighbour dragging her wheelie bin over the shingle. :D

    Didn't Steve say he had got some belting jokes for the wedding. What ? Jokes about Dreary's belt. I'm looking forward to that.

    I think Lon Chainy Jr was either Phantom of the Opera or The Werewolf.
    Maybe all Deirdre's fellas she's had could be called The Chain Gang?

    PMSL what a brilliant description lololol!

    But I think if we don't see the "belt" soon Ken will have to lure it back, put some milk down for it or something.

    For those who need a Deirdre's Belt Fix (and I am one) here's one she made earlier, a sort of "trainee" belt for the classic to come.

    Well we have had 3 weeks of the year so far and Deidre has been in some episodes but you has not year worn "The Belt" so as at Saturday 21/01/2012 the officilal episode tally for 2012 is sofar still 0 appearances.

    Remember Belt-Brigade - don't expect to see it on Monday at the wedding but eyes peeled!!!

    It's been a disappointing year so far. Perhaps 'the belt' is spending some time in Australia after appearing in 'the jungle' ?:D
