Corrie - Ministry of silly walks?

[Robinia]

In the street scene at the start of Corrie tonight was it just me or did anyone else notice that Gail was bobbing up & down as though she'd lost the heel from one of her shoes? or maybe she was walking with one foot in the gutter like you did when you were little? It just looked so funny to me.
And why does Deirdre always stride out around their tiny house with her arms swinging as though she's on a brisk 5 mile hike?
No insults from soap haters please...I know I should get out more :o)

testing / two

[netibiza]

You're in Kit!!

[DaSwede]

testing again yes neti but i can't post anything longer than this it just disappears and i've spent approx. four hours (today plus yesterday) trying...

[DaSwede]

Hi all, thanks for all your emails! I spent hours yesterday trying to get in and then trying to get back in, and it's the same today.

Welcome home Neti - yes that was a nice afternoon, it keeps popping up in my memory. Felt rather like meeting someone you haven't seen for ten years but used to spend a lot of time with in the past, don't you think. Nice shot of Gondolen!

Ha ha you can still see the shadow of a cat on Posh Kip, Vinny! I'm afraid to even ask what that undefined jumble on my chin is - guess I'm The Amazing Ballbusting Bearded Lady now, right. Men!! You always feel threatened by an intelligent woman such as myself, don't you. (Pssst, is it too late to apply for Miss Robinia's Finishing School ? It may change our lives forever, biddies! Scroll down one third and check out the subjects list - personally I'm on top of at least three of those and I haven't even begun my studies yet, he he.)

Swedish Posh as per request, Robinia: Yup, we have that kind and if they're young(ish) we call them "brats" - we actually use the English word, untranslated. Ladies and lords, I give you Upper Class News. (Nevermind the dialogue, it's their attitude that's funny.)

Shhh Jude, don't reveal our feminine tricks in the presence of a potential handy man, you'll blow it! ;)

Is there any language you don't know a few phrases in, Shaney!

Vinny I admire the way you're able to make it clear where you stand in certain matters without being hurtful or causing irreparable damage. Haven't encountered the guy you're using as an example. but personally... (continued)

[DaSwede]

(continued)

...and I am just speaking for myself here, of course...

...but personally I keep getting racial roll calls over the email and I'm at my wit's end regarding how to make it stop. Seems to me I've tried every kind of approach.

I'd like to think I'd react strongly against these roll calls even if my half-sisters weren't half Asian, but they are, and me not being plugged in I have on the odd occasion asked them over the phone to check my emails for me. I don't feel I can do that anymore because of what they may see in my in-box, and that makes me angry and sad. I'd stand on my head to make it stop.

stop

Bye for now.

Would any of you fly with this airline that I saw in Moscow???

[shaneystar2]

No thanks neti ..it looks a bit top heavy !

Hope all you dear little crinklies are OK . I can drivel for England and grossdeutchland you know but I am truly amazed today !
Kit I get a lot of this tripe in my inbox ..just delete it and pay no attention .
Anyway I have been having a grand sort out and have filled several sacks with clothes and rubbish from the year dot from my wardrobe ..all I have left now is a pair of dodgy leggings and a few tops .Any excuse to buy more new stuff !
Went for blood test where they tested my thyroid function and ......cholesterol ...sugar ....and god knows what else .At least my BP was OK !!
I think I am in for a pep talk from my doctor ..groan .....
Toodlepip for now xxx

[jno]

oh, results from my blood test (taken July 2) have finally reached my doctor's surgery from the hospital (less than 2 miles away). Unfortunately the receptionist didn't know what they meant but she was sure if there had been anything important in them the doctor would have asked her to ask me to make an appointment. So I am quite probably okay. Isn't that good?

[netibiza]

Well that's probably good then eh jno??

[Robinia]

bonsoir tout....

Sounds very good jno...the time to worry is when they come to you, results in hand, without you having to browbeat the rottweiler on reception. I'm due to have an armful taken myself so I expect they're busy filing all the points off the needles right now.

Kit you should take a tip from Vinny
looks like it's not the toast we smell burning
it's our mail...tut

well done shaney, maybe you'd like to do my life laundry please? only yesterday I took everything out of my wardrobe ....and...erm...put it all back, but in a different order, haha.

now where is Vinsprout?...his bufferer must have gawn barmy in biddyford again & he can only turn left....bit like my sister on a bike.... :o)

[Jude123]

Evening All Hope you've all had a good day. It's been lovely here. I went to Tai Chi this morning and then I picked Maggie up and we went to Calverton and picked my Tai Chi friend up (she was looking after her daughter's 7 cats for the week) and we went to a place called Patchings Farm for lunch. It is an Art and Crafts centre as well as a restaurant. It was very good and they did brilliant latte, I had to have 2. Then I got home and the plasterer turned up to do my ceiling where the plumber put his foot through it. Made a good job too. All it needs now is painting which will be done next week apparently. (Still waiting for a man to put me curtain rail up - he didn't turn up on Sunday lol). Going to read my book for a bit now see you later :o)

[jno]

... strolls back in from admiring terracotta warriors

http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/whats_on/fut ure_exhibitions/the_first_emperor.aspx

jolly impressive. Sort of mass produced in the warrior but the faces were left free for craftsmen to make individual, so they're all different.

[Robinia]

ooh, I'd forgotten about that one Vinny....
when you said 'ere be one' I thought it was going to be a piccy of a sh1tehawk pooping on shaney's nice fresh nets....hahahahaha

she's just showing off now

[jno]

well, warrior factory was what I was trying to say, but never mind.
