I see the Rovers has 4/5 on the Council hygiene scheme (sticker in window) - quite impressive for a domestic kitchen linked to a day room.

Carla with a Diesel Alfa - crazy would never happen

Dev was on the bones of his arse 3 years ago down to one shop now he is a Gym and kebab shop owner - must be a gold mine that shop.
Yes, he used to have seven shops, the cold wind of the recession didn't escape his empire, if I remember correctly he was lucky to hang on to his current one too........

btw. Look out for the upcoming cricket match featuring Steve and a cobbled together Rovers team, clothing supplied by yours truly....biggrin

Am looking forward to the cricket match showing the harmonious cultural melting pot in modern urban Manchester.

I see Tony as a kind of Chris Gayle opening the batting - big and strong and not afraid to take a risk on an outrageous shot.

Steve'll put himself in as opening bat too - probably more Boycott.

Gary and Chesney come in at 3 and 4 - bit like the Waugh brothers - cos they look alike and are ginger (Gary and Chesney that is). Ches can go wicketkeeper cos he's small and (probably) nippy.

Jason at 5 - can add real beef to the middle order.

Lloyd at 6 - used to be good, but now playing down the order.

Kal's Dad will come in the lower middle-order at 7 - fiery but old, overweight and overzealous - bit like Inzamam.

Kal himself, I see as a Wasim Akram type - athletic, quite steady and dependable and decent with bat and ball.

Kirk is a bit like Phil Tufnell.

Dev is in the team as the experienced sub-continent spinner - competitive, can get the most out of a flat pitch and willing to 'finesse' the rules.

The lad from the garage who is trying to get in Katie's knickers looks a natural quick - long levers and athletic, not afraid to bang one in short to unsettle the Flying Horse's top order and return to skittle out the tailenders.

Roy can do the sandwiches and Norris and Ken can fight over umpiring duties.

As for Todd - I wouldn't have him in the team, you can't trust him and he'll only end up batting for the other side...

Good call with the team order. That shows you're a true Corrie follower,and understand the nuances of the characters. I can't see Sean in the team somehow, although he may choose to rub on the Wintergreen. The late lamented Hayley would have been a good all-rounder.

"tyrone can't work so he won't get paid"

He owns half the business doesn't he? Kevin hasn't worked there for months and he still gets paid!

Maybe he didn't get paid when he was off.

The last word I'd use to describe that is 'interesting'.

Oh well in that case, how is he paying the rent on the flat he isn't living in?

Is that not Jim's plan? Is he not hoping for Liz to step in?

I'm off to the bookies to bet my mortgage on the line 'Yer a fine woman, Elizabeth, so yer are' making an appearance on Friday.
I think they take in the homeless at the Salvation army......

His actual words were "You look gorgeous so you do".......smile


Meanwhile:-

Will Fizz take up Tony's offer of a £1000 up front?

Will Peter pull round from the brink of death?

Will Julie and Dev "get it together?"

I'd forgotten about that cash - has Tim realised yet? She must have a fair bit of it left, and he really could do with a new van ...... and some other things......and a holiday.... and then do a runner with the rest.

I just watched last night's - loved the rivalry between Julie and Mary over Dev's affections. Best bit for more was Michelle being given some "light comedy" lines regarding the wedding arrangements. A harp playing "Firestarter" , and the magician's white rabbit having passed on. Great stuff.

Oh no. I will never be able to watch her again without waiting for it. Maybe it could become a drinking game?

I've just been reminded gag happens to Kev's lottery win. Sophie got involved with a charity which turned out to be a scam, and lost it, apparently Ken's grandson was involved somehow to.

Not sure how autocorrect changed "what to "gag", but hey ho.
