Two from tonights episodes, Kylies drug dealer friend nearly bought a convertible Impreza, Tracy saying that Eva can't work in the shop because her boobs are too distracting.
Well it is a "porn" shop.....
Yes, the plot with Steve has taken the storyline into a new dimension, I thought something was odd a few weeks back when he kept trying to beat his PB on "the airport run"....
Todd Grimshaw running Barlow's buy's, what does he know about buying and selling?...although he will be made up when Tony keeps bringing in some dodgy gear........
Just going sort of OT for a moment, but as a grammar Nazi I was appalled by something said by Carla when giving testimony. She clearly stated "could of" instead of "could have" or the commonly used "could've". What's the world coming to? The cool, urbane, glamorous, hard-bitten Carla, can't even speak the Queen's English.
I heard it on a phone-in radio show the other day, and the speaker was a teacher FFS. I know that languages evolve over time, but this is just ignorance. It is spoken that way presumably because the speaker doesn't know what it's meant to represent. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!

Real world mate innit ....
Almost as irritating as the near universal mispronunciation of words like midlands , cycling , medicine etc by making them trisyllabic - hence 'mid er lands ', 'cyc er ling ' and 'med ih sin '.
It's appalling- world's going to the dogs
I was at school with Lord Palmerston. We had the birch for this sort of thing.Almost as irritating as the near universal mispronunciation of words like midlands , cycling , medicine etc by making them trisyllabic - hence 'mid er lands ', 'cyc er ling ' and 'med ih sin '.

All together.....amo,amas,amat, amamus, amatis, amant.
Do schools teach ANYTHING these days, apart from colouring?
And to make matters worse, or better, the actress is pregnant in her actual life (as opposed to soap life), so they will get bigger and bigger. Ye gods!
On a similar note, where the hell does Kim Marsh get her bras made? They appear to have a massive cantilever system of some sort. I'm not complaining, mind.
Anyhoo, back to more serious topics. How does Leanne get a tan like that (the Caribbean methinks) on the wages of a kebab maker? And Jim is even more delusional than before, so he is. "I can come and see you and Steve, I can come home". I'm looking forward to a scrap twixt him and Tony. Tony's a big fella, so he is.
Meanwhile, THE wedding is apparently in the offing, and I still can't help wondering how they do it on the income from that pokey little backstreet pawn shop, especially now they're paying Todd's wages. Anyone would think Corrie's not a reality show. And on the subject of the wedding - the Soaraway Sun has ruined it for me again today, printing advance notice of what happens. Yes, I know I don't have to read it, but my eyes are drawn to the pretty pictures and the intrigue of it all, and then it's too late......Why the hell do they do this to us??????

Ooo, I know this. Because in real life she's a successful actress and therefore can afford holidays in the Caribbean.Do I win a prize?

Whooooa, the murderous villain's gonna confess whodunnit (according to the trailer).
I really would prefer to see it "on the day" during the appropriate episode. All this advance publicity in an attempt to attract extra viewers , well it just mars my enjoyment. It's like when you try to avert your eyes from the football results so you can watch the match later that night.Big Jim was not a happy man, so he wasn't. Will we see him wreak revenge in times to come? How the hell did Charlie Lawson manage that red face? The wardens were typical soap extras - grappling with him and leading him away without saying a word.
And how close is Steve now to a complete breakdown? Depression is something I have experience of - it's a very unpleasant state of mind.
I can't understand why the scriptwriters have brought Cilla back. She's a very similar character to Beth, and it makes no sense IMO to have 2 of the same. There's obviously something afoot, but streetwise Fiz will soon have her sussed out.
