Nice and appetizing there - David Pratt yawning into the food he is serving, yuk!

It seems he is written to be a doofus, when he is waiting tables. Maybe so that Kylie can make it to look easy? That 'taking the chip out of peters hand' bit the other night was ridiculous. What real person would do that? Especially considering how cheap chips are. A normal person would admit their mistake and page the kitchen for a fresh bowl of chips.

Do Carla and Peter only ever go to the Bistro now :rolleyes:

Karl looked about 6ft tall there beside Owen.( Imagine how ginormous he'd look beside Tiny Paul:eek:). Lately he's strongly reminding me of Dave in the Royle Family...the way he speaks in that croaky voice. I hate the way Stella acts so fragile and delicately 'female' beside' him, burying her face in his manly shoulder for protection and comfort...it doesn't suit her.

I hate the way David says 'Bay..beh' with his puffy mouth....it drives me mental:(.

C'mon Tina, are ya dense???!!..Creeeepy Gary is drooling all over your lino for Jaysus sake!!:(

That is going to be an awkward scene.

Tina:"Ah, Gar-eh, is this a joke?"
Gary:"No babes, we could be so good together..."
Tina:"What about Iz-zeh?"
Gary:"She doesnt need to know does she? You tellin' me you don't want a bit of this?"
<Gary points at horrible ginger face>
Tina:"Gar-eh, I think Im gonna be sick. "

Arrgh! Thought you were going to show Gareh pointing down :eek:

Isn't he going to have an epileptic fit soon, probably from being overworked, maybe,

I really don't want Owen to have a share in the pub. Even the crowbar thing, he's just rubbish.

Morwen Thistlethwaite Professor of Mathematics would disagree that his name is made up, as would talented, and sadly recently departed Actor, Pete Posselthwaite, though admittedly, he spells his name slightly differently.

As for the baby mad men, I used to work with a few guys who practically had proud dad tattooed on their chests. Everything revolved around their kids, and they went out of their way to tell you they were a proud Dad, and what amazing thing their little angel had done today. It started to get annoying after a while about 60 seconds.

I knew there was a Posselthwaite name but I thought I invented the other two:D... by 'made up' I meant not your everyday names.. all long posh names like that...all very kids tea partyish. 'Would you like crumpet with your coffee, Mrs Ramsbottom?'

You're watching a british soap, but I know what you mean. You would swear only people with posh names get their hair done.

I used to work in a call centre and we had to verify the account details using the famous mothers maiden name. This guy rings up one day with a strong cockney accent, everything is "bruv this and bruv that, init?", so I go to him that I need his mothers maiden name and he goes, "oh you dont want mine you want the wife's, init? Ye, its cold-arse", and I didn't quite catch and I asked him to repeat it, and he goes "Ye, check it bruv thats what it is, cold-arse", and I check it, and the recorded mothers maiden name is "Winterbottom". I said, "close enough".

Would you believe my sister also worked in a call centre and received a call from a Mr Winterbottom:D.....she had an urge to laugh but restrained herself.

Talking of funny names, if I was Fay I'd be asking to use her Dad's name. Imagine going through school with a name like Windass

It's an unbelieveably awful name:(...way back in Saxon times someone with bowel probs prob was the first one.. Remember when they came into it first, they were a real rough crowd, Anna was so pushy and overbearing not the sweet kind lady she is today...Gary was a thug and the father was like Les. Speaking of Les...the Battersbys were the same..a terrible name and really common. After a while they toned it down a bit.

Does Gail not work in the Bistro any more?

Nick either sacked her or she waked out when she found out about Kyle and Nic sleeping together. Can't remenber which one.

Except for the Roy Haley story, the show was bad. The Price/Windass/ Armstrong stuff was horrible. I will not not watch that _hite from now on. I am boycotting the idiots families.

Lol, Owen is such a hypocrite and David(for once) showed him as being thick. Owen goes "I need an overdraft to eat, and their cracking open the Champagne".

First off, then why are you in the bistro to begin with Owen?

Secondly, David replies to him "It's Prosecco", which he got annoyed about. He didnt realise Prosecco is an italian sparkling wine which is about a 10th of the price of a bottle of 'cheap' champagne. FYI, O'Briens Wines have a special on this month, 2 bottles for 9 euros each.

And what kind of a wind bag goes from scrimping and saving to buy into the pub, while continuing to dine at the bistro, and then changes track and decides to sue instead. Muppet.
