    Not a fan of the current 3 main stories. This Damian/Caoimhe one is just predictable. In the real world, those 2 would never be a couple. When she gets the job, I at first thought I heard CARRICKMINES. Then with Damian making all the fuss, I assumed I must have misheard and assumed it must be Carrick on Shannon (Leitrim/Roscommon) or Carrick on Suir (Tipperary). But NO I did hear right and it is Carrickmines! Literally a few minutes on the Luas!! Cannot see the big fuss with Damian but that's the sort of thicko character they have written him as.

    This Trigger story would be better if they left the cancer out of it. Cannot see why Cathal hates Robbie so much (Robbie and Thomas Flynn had a dispute I know but Cathal's hatred seems to go beyond that but not as far as wanting him dead). Watching Trigger rolled over in pain every episode is disturbing and we could do without that. Trigger is a wasted opportunity. Better use could have been made of the character. Instead, they reintroduce him and we learn he is dying of pancreatic cancer. We are fully aware that the cancer will not kill him. Most likely, he will be killed by Carol to save Robbie's life in some struggle.

    This Pete v Bob feud is silly. These type of stories add nothing and is just another excuse for having Pete fight with someone.

    I don't think that is in any way realistic. A terminally ill cancer patient with two or three weeks to live would have no difficulty in obtaining adequate pain relief : these scenes of him collapsing in agony in public on several different occasions are very implausible.

    So Caoimhe gets a job in Carrickmines so she automatically is moving there? She can't commute from any other part of the city? FFS! What experience can a non medically trained person get in a Doctor's surgery? If she got a job in a pharmacy she couldn't even sell you some solpadeine! And it's a dead very she'll be allowed back in to study medicine of course. How will she pay rent, fees, child care?

    They need to publish a bio and profile of the writers? Are they all 14 year old boys?

    I swear I'm not defending the writers but they did mention that Dr Dillon had offered to pay her fees and that the Ram had offered to help out too. And sure knowing FC she'll probably get a full maintenance grant no bother too!

    Can't speak for anyone else but whenever I broke up with someone over the years I never had an ex appearing giving advice about it.

    The halfway house...wish they all went there.

    What a pile of shi*te! Couldn't even give us a decent stabbing/attempted stabbing scene..

    Not that i get off on it or anything:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,461 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    Trigger reminds me of a Father Jack that doesn't swear!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,520 ✭✭✭nagdefy


    That Oisin knob and his 'Italian Tabloid' contact going to give him €20,000 for a story.. Now whoever wrote that sh*te need bloody well shooting as Brian Clough would say.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,520 ✭✭✭nagdefy


    Trigger maybe, just maybe, you'd accidentally stab Ama with that tiny peeling knife..

    Charlotte giving Emmeh a bit of a look.. hardly a couple?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 840 ✭✭✭laylag


    Oisin presenting a plain A4 sheet with some typed text on it as some kind of deal proposal... seriously. At least put it on headed paper lads!
    Why is it suddenly Pete's lifetime ambition to help Charlie in the community centre?

    Bella in Spar intently studying the writing on a can of Pringles. :D

    Charlie Kelly dropping the bag of sugar! I laughed so much.

    Nice to see Kerri Ann back, she was close to Juliet when herself and "Raymond" were together, you'd think she'd meet her for a make over or modelling tips, seeing that ex's and husbands are so pally.

    Were we seriously supposed to be in anxious suspence about that stabbing scene? It's August 1st and you know damn well that, given FC's track record, come November 1st, Trigger will still be in his last 3 weeks and will still be sneaking around getting frustrated after his 163rd attempt to Stab Robbie goes wrong!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Where was Trigger and Carol going to get stuck in lift of centre?

    It'll be like Coyote and Roadrunner before they're finished.

    He was pretending to go to an art class upstairs with the homeless people. I don't know why she got in the lift with him, I wasn't paying attention, rolling my eyes too hard.

    Didn't carol get stuck in the lift before with Zumo, and give birth to Jack?

    Yes, and she mentioned that to Trigger last night, telling him not die in the lift and spoil the memory for her!

    Oisin, Emmett and Charlotte really took the biscuit tonight with the amount of times they randomly bumped into each other over the course of one day.

    Had to laugh at Emmett telling Charlotte that the arcade woman (name has escaped me) is qualified to help Katy. She manages a bizarrely setup arcade, I think if she was qualified to help then she'd actually do that for a living rather than just hosting those odd skill sharing meetings that have suddenly morphed into group therapy sessions and randomly inserting herself into everyone's business, regardless of whether they've ever spoken before, like Caoimhe and Damo!

    I really really ( and I'm not a violent person) but want to get rid of Ama. So she's in uniform looking after Trigger and then in street clothes next minute. Does she not work for anyone in the surgery?

    She looked very well there when the bleeper went off at her peak fertility moment, and for once Decco looked like it wasn't going to be a chore;)
