How do you lot remember all this? Do you have a giant wallchart and planner, with coloured stars and whatnot? I've forgotten more than I've remembered, although the "David blackmailing Tracy" business rings a bell now.
When you subscribe to "the street" fan club you have access to a database that is updated weekly, you can enter any event and it brings up all the characters involved and dates etc. I don't go to the club meetings but I bet Wacky does ?
I'm not that sad DS, even though I've been watching it since the first episode in 1960 as a kid, and have only missed one episode, to the best of my knowledge since 1979......smile

I did however win the National Coronation Street quiz championship in 1993....

BTW - it's a long time since I was directly involved with cricket, but as far as I am aware the umpires' verdict is always final. Accepting Leanne's mobile phone footage for a decision was simply "not cricket".

Well we have now got the latest hi tec goal line techonology in footie, so Leanne's mobile phone footage moves cricket into the 21st century....smile

How lucky was Rob, when the police pulled him up? I was hoping they might have carried out a "routine" check on his car and discovered the piece of pipe in the boot with Tina's blood all over it......

"Hello hello hello, what 'ave we got here then?"..........

Definitely a missed opportunity.

I was starting to seriously worry in tonight's episode, I thought Steve might have given away the secret recipe for Betty's hotpot....yikes

Happily, the Rovers won, so the secret is still safe.

No they won't - I don't think the internet has been invented yet in Coronation Street land.

In fact, I think they've only just got colour...

Well last night things went from bad to worse for dodgy Tony, Fiz feeling "intimidated" by him.

Just as a matter of interest what would you do if you were in her shoes?

Take an increased offer of, say 6k from Tony, or pursue things via the ambulance chasers.

Tbh, I can't make my mind up on this one.

Meanwhile, Ken seems to be coming slowly round to the idea of Tracy and Rob's wedding, do you think it would be insensitive with Peter banged up, or is it a case of life must go on?

The scene with mad Mary and Kylie in the Salon was comedy gold, when she told Kylie off for her "customer service", but Kylie was more concerned with what might have been with her baby.

And when is Eva going to buy a dress that doesn't stop her bazoomas hanging out?

The Kylie storyline with Max is ridiculous. Like ADHD is something he just caught overnight!

Legal way will take many months even longer - they are for some reason really skint now and as such they should take a cash offer and a free conversion. (I have had a similar claim live for 2 years now)

Crikey - three grown men up against Big Eileen. Only one winner there. (BTW will we ever see Fat Brenda? I expect not, or it will fail to be a running joke.)

I noted the little episode when Kylie told off the family for leaving pills within reach of baby Lily. The Corrie writers are no different from Hollywood - getting a little bit of "teaching" into popular TV for ignorant and feckless non-parents.

Are we building up to a "payday loan company" scenario with Ty and Fiz? Just a thought. As has been pointed out, waiting for legal action will take months, and it might be another bit of moralising from the writers.

Fiz and Tyrone should take the offer from Tony, now. Stupid to do anything else really.

Let's consider Ty's lost earnings for two months work at the garage - I would estimate that at £3k net. Given his living conditions, it surely can't be any more than that.

Another few grand for the trauma of falling through the roof and I reckon £6k would seal the deal. A word in Tony's ear should get him to increase his last offer by £1k without too much hassle. Take that and run.

I have no idea how much compensation you would get if you went to court for a broken wrist but it's certain to take a long time and the no-win-no-fee lawyer will take a big piece.

Anyway, that's all a bit too serious...

Eva was on Celebrity Squares last night and was disappointingly well covered up.

Some great lines tonight re the Eccles situation

Tracey: Amy has been savaged by a wild animal.

and in the pub

Dierdre: She hasn't got the jaw power. I threw her a tennis ball in the park and she had to push it back to me with her nose. It took her 20 minutes.
