Am I wrong, but can tell you're Scottish by calling them chicken paste "pieces":? It's a Scottish thing is pieces, used to love a piece and jam! Ha ha.
Not wrong at all. I'm from Ayr (don't live there now though!)

Corrie are making her so desperate that nothing would surprise me. They'll be going in the cafe eating people's left-overs and licking their plates next.

Tyrone and his slobbering.
I'm waiting on them wearing rags next with chimney soot smeared over their faces.... Fiz with the coats the other night was terrible. You'd think they were living in the arctic circle. Plus I don't get the "we're keeping it on upstairs fer 'Ooohhhp n Ruhbehhh" (plus Luke's room I imagine), so essentially just the living room / kitchen is affected. I take it the children won't be spending any time in the living room then, unless they're wrapped up like Inuits!

That lunch scene with Tyrone was so pathetic. Why could he not exist on just sandwiches? How much is a cheap packet of own brand ham in Frescos? Probably cheaper than meat paste. What is meat paste anyway I've never heard of it.
Meat paste at Asda - http://groceries.asda.com/product/sa...n-paste/389988 or the Shippams version - http://groceries.asda.com/product/sa...-spread/592137 (it's basically like pate but with a longer shelf life).

It would actually be most cost effective to buy and cook a whole chicken than meat paste. For £3 or £4 they could have a couple of main meals each and then still have butties with the leftovers. But of course we're talking the Dobbs/Stape house here and the only time they get freshly cooked food is when Roy brings it round for them.

this daft thing with meat paste, making it the poor man's pate. they do a similar thing with muesli when somebody has a heart attack and has to suddenly eat it for breakfast

the never puts enough milk in it to make it palatable then moan it's like eating sawdust.

as for ignoring people what happens when they quote something. do we get this

The internet provides a suspension of reality in that when using it, people just ditch their natural good manners to snipe at others. Or are people as rude in reality that they make sniping and snide remarks at a lady senior citizen because they disagree with her or because she likes to be accurate in what she says?

Or to put it another way, what would people do if their own mothers or even grandmas were the recipient of some of the snide remarks we see thrown at senior citizens on here just for acting like senior citizens do.

No names, no pack drill. Can this thread now revert to having the SORs as our common target instead of each other?
I thought it had until you brought it up again. I can only speak for myself, if my father or grandfather decided to enter into a public debate, they can do as they see fit. You have taken it upon yourself to assume parents and grandparents of a certain age are unable to hold their own in a simple exchange of posts. I am embarrassed for you. Now can this thread revert to having SORS.

It still is mostly.

My reference to ignoring is just one person, the accusations drift away eventually, I just let the off-topic sagas blow away.

The oddest thing is when we're trolled by posters who criticise us for commenting on SORs - I guess they're die-hard fans who can see no wrong in the demise of a great soap? They drift away too though.

Keep enjoying.
I've been a member of this thread since its inception. Mostly lurk these days, but still enjoy it a lot. I watch an episode, see something SOR worthy, and think that'll be on the thread later. It always is too.

I may have my moments but I'm still friendly!
You're always friendly ewoodie.

So you have put user on ignore just for a bit of forum banter and imply they are a troll when all they were doing was joining in with the fun of the SOR thread, I suppose I will be next on your ignores list.
There was no connection between the ignore and the trolling comment - which was a generalisation regarding posters who arrive, criticise our SORs, then leave.

Why would you expect to be added to my voluminous list?

Really want to get back to SORs, just wanted to correct an imperception.

Just watched the episode with the Karaoke ...

Eva ...

Pressed the button and launched into Big Spender without looking at the screen to see what would play.

Coincidentally knew the song flawlessly.

Knew all the moves flawlessly.

Decided to alter the Karaoke to a Stars in Their Eyes episode.

Move on folks, no SORs here ...

Maybe Aiden should have sung Kanye Wests 'Gold Digger'.

I was so taken aback by her performance that I almost forgot the inexplicable tottering around on high heels ... as if she'd never worn heels before ... and that "hilarious" scene when Aiden pushed her into the van.

The scenes, in general, were a prime example of the depth of medicocrity which typifies Corrie today.

But we still watch it so it must have something of interest.

For me, it's the hope that it may return to some semblance of its past glories ... I can't give up on it after 55 years!!!

Having said that, whenever we think it can't get any worse ...

Sorry to go back to the sniping. It would be easily resolved if people used their real names instead of hiding behind pseudonyms.

So Kevin brings Jack into The Cabin to buy a pen (obvious plot device) and then says he has to get Jack back to school. Would he really be allowed to take him out of school just to buy a pen???

We are very different. I do not like bullying and the internet is a breeding ground for it.

Kevin and Sophie are paranoid about jenny taking jack.

jack disappears from the garage - which is next door to where jenny works.

so what do they do??

run around the street and look everywhere apart from where their first instincts would have told them to look- to see if he was with jenny!!

Do YR or Y1 (not sure how old Jack is!) kids even use pens? I thought that was when they were about eight.

Watching Wednesday's and the theft nonsense. Isn't the definition of a locker mean you, well, lock it? So how could anyone steal anything?

And just because JennyBradley is a pyscho child snatcher, doesn't follow she's a thief does it?

Never mind that, Kevin said it was a pen that writes two colours at once. Everybody knows those pens are always three colours, talk about an SOR!

A couple of kids comics out of three quid? Has anyone seen the price of them recently? They're all CBeebies themed and about a fiver each.

Goes to show how out of touch the writers are with the real working class. Like with the pint of milk stuff. I assume that all send their housekeeper to get such menial stuff.
