All that is necessary is for the person to know they were being arrested, We joked she should have charged Silly Billy as Reverend William Mayhew. When in the car Silly Billy had been blessing passersby in the same daft manner that his dim boyfriend always plays. There are not many pubs in Manchester area where bar staff are allowed to be rude to different customers who are waiting to be served s first they make phone calls and then 'leave their post' to speak to their boyfriends. Not many pubs run like the Rovers though.

Hmmm I am a big niggly on a Sunday morning.

Gail used to talk like this when she was about 18. It was annoying then and it's more annoying now that she is supposed to be a mature woman. I think she believes men find this 'little girl' act irresistible.

I'm afraid, Gail, if you can't even attract a miserable loser like Michael, it's time to quit.

what I find daft is corrie and eastenders can't so too much violence at 7/8pm when hollyoaks can show topless men and lesbians snogging their faces off at 6:30pm

34 when the police are looking to arrest somebody they are able to track the straight down at a completely random place without doing any research,and seem to know the person even though they have never been in trouble before. Examples being Tracy Barlow in the Rovers and the doughy eyed guy that bribed Steph at some random pub.

Wouldn't the lesbians prefer to snog topless women?

I think it's sexist the dont show topless females on soaps when they show men. I demand equality for male hetrosexual eye candy in soaps


anyway

number, ???,???,???.?, no idea lost count.

nobody drinks out of cups in a normal way,
where they drink
shut up
swallow
carry on talking

and they can hold drinks of hot liquid without the handle and not burn their hands

35. Any bar or restaurant on the street will be short of staff at least once a week.

36. Normal working practices don't seem to apply to businesses in Weatherfield.
If one of your employees wants to leave early for whatever reason (tired, injured dog, bored) then you must allow them to leave no questions asked.
Similar rules apply if they want a break.
(Please note: This rule does not apply at moments of severe danger. )

37: They must say cliched lines after doing certain activities e.g. when suffering from a hangover "I'm never drinking again"

38: Everyone's music taste is pop music and pop culture references in regards to music, celebrities etc.s are made all of the time instead of giving the characters some individuality.

As for SOR's for the past year we've had Sophie mention how she misses Maddie but we never see it. Corrie has a real problem of telling but not showing, Sophie doesn't look sad, she just tells people that she is.

Also so many scenes are cut short the second after the last person in the scene is done talking as the actors just don't seem capable of keeping a straight face or maybe it's just the editing. It just seems so rushed, like they want to push out pointless scene after pointless scene sometimes.

There was a thread here before about nudity (or lack of) in soaps

39 (or could be 36.1 ). When someone gets a job, there is no discussion about pay or hours of work.

And it seems like managers can fire at will without any sort of notice period. Lost count of the number of times someone has been sacked at Underworld, the Bistro etc.

40. The time of day and whether it's light or dark outside changes randomly throughout each episode.

41. Children go to school in the school holidays,

42. The men must get a team together and hold tedious sporting competitions such as football, crown green bowling, cricket and ping pong.

Competitions coming to Corrie soon: tiddlywinks, conkers, leapfrog and marbles.

I am a man ....Gail or Eileen ? ... if those two are the only women that want you then perhaps you are the problem ...given that , I'd go for the one who hasn't got oddball children .....oh wait ......

43. People willingly rush out of pubs or cafes without finishing their food or drinks.

Number = next.

All pregnant women have to arch their back, stick their stomach out then awkwardly launch themselves from sitting to standing. Try standing up in this way if you are genuinely pregnant and you would soon realise that it turns standing into an Olympic event!

Billy talked about being excommunicated in Friday's episode but that only applies to Catholic priests ; excommunication doesn't exist in the Church of England.

44. You make arrangements to meet someone but never stipulate what time, merely 'I'll meet you at 'that fancy restaurant in town' tonight/tomorrow' etc.

44a And, sure enough, somebody you don't want to see will already be there, or come in shortly after

number, oh, god, no idea, lets sod the numbers and use bullet points

everybody has to drink in the pub once they hit 18, in ten years time Craig, Bethany, Simon, Faye, Amy, Adi, Asha and Max will be frequenting their local on a daily basis like alcohol consumption is the staple of adult existence, and welcoming Liam into their fold with his first, of many, pints
(because in real life we're all closet alcoholics)


there is always a random cat in the opening titles of corry but you never see sight nor sound of a random cat just strolling by minding it's own feline business in any episode

42A. But only once. There can't be a further competition in that sport, despite everyone having spent a fortune getting all the correct gear.

No.-43
everybody who goes to a party always has the best gear, if it's a themed party they turn up looking like they've raided the nearest costume hire shop

if it is a christmas party everybody will wear a party hat, by law.


No.-44
anybody who is a christian is treated with caution and mild derision and no respect for their belief whatsoever
(unless they are a priest)

anybody believing in a non christian religion is respected without question

*Unless it's Liz McDonald who is always dresses like she buys her clothes at the local sex/fetish shop and is always dressed like she's going to a fancy dress party.

**Anyone apart from Sir Kenneth Barlow who reads a book, likes classical music, chess, the theatre and/or shows any signs of intellect or in cultural interests will be treated like they are the local nut job.

45. Gail must marry a wrong'un.

46. Liz, the lovely lady of the Rovers, must wear a necklace. If you see her in a onesie you must wash your eyes.

47. Michelle must look immaculate, whatever time of day, wherever. You must compliment her natural look.

48. You must hate Tracyluv.

49. You must recommend Changing Rooms to have a look at Fiz and Ty's place.

50. If you have dinner at Fiz and Ty's place, you must burp to show your appreciation. You may wash the dishes in leftover slop and economy washing-up liquid, diluted in cider, if one wishes to. Otherwise dispense in trough.

51. You must avoid watching TV, between the hours of 7.30pm and 9.00pm, on Mondays and Fridays.

52. Don't forget that (unless you are Tracy) you must always feel sorry for Carla, and pity her. Also throw in a compliment about how much of a successful businesswoman she is and how excellent she is at running Underworld, even though the business keeps failing, and she is a gambler, cheat and drunk.

53. Also, no matter how much lack of experience you have in running a business and may only have done small jobs like sitting behind the counter in Dev's shop reading a magazine or serving pints behind the bar of the Rovers, you can still get yourself a share in a business and run it without any problems. The only thing you need to do is carry a clipboard with you.

54. If a resident you have known for several years, or even over a decade tries to warn you about the latest weirdo who has settled down in the street and the fact he/she is a wrong 'un, never believe that neighbour. Only believe the wrong 'un you have known for all but 5 minutes and treat that person like your best friend ever.

55. If you lose your job, go and sit in the Rovers Return. You will be joined by either Liz or Michelle and when you mention how you are out of work they will mention how they need extra staff to cover some shifts.

56. If you are a barmaid at the Rovers Return and a customer annoys you, dump a pint over their head. Liz will be fine with this as you are "feisty" and the customer should have watched himself.

57. No matter how much you may hate Tracy Barlow, you should always go to her shop and give her your custom. And you must put up with her snide remarks. Don't think of doing something logical like go to another shop.
