    I think the writers are playing a game with each other to see how many times they can have Carol happen upon Robbie and Aoife somewhere around the town in the same episode.

    They're some of the lasiest bunch of soap writers around. You can predict every scene with who's gonna walk in where. They've been doing it for ages now. Robbie walks into the Spar tonight with Aoife so therefore Carol is gonna walk in now in 3..2...1... Robbie is in the Community Centre with Aoife so therefore Carol is gonna walk in now in 3..2...1....

    Oakley was gas tonight. Miriam to him "so you're gonna let him go??".

    "Oh no, i'm going to kill you's both

    I hope that's the end of Carol's revenge cos i really couldn't take another THE PLAN.

    By the way, did Oakley, pretending to be one of the builders text Miriam and ask her to come in, or is he so much of a master of everything that he was able to convincingly change his voice in a phone call? :P

    Lol yes that Emmett collapse was hilariously bad!
    Oakley though �� massive crush here

    I don't exactly have a crush on Oakley, but I can't hate him, I think it'd be gas if he was my GP. When I was a kid, our family doc used to always give us a few jelly babies, liquorice allsorts or jelly beans, along with those ''I was very brave at the doctor's today'' badges, that he kept in a cupboard, especially if we had to have a jab.
    Imagine, though, if Oakley was your doc, he'd be handing out flare guns and free petrol - not to your kids, but to yourself. I can imagine the conversation.

    Oakley: ''You're blood pressure is a bit on the high side, Ms ---- is there anything stressful going on in your life right now, because it usually reads normal?''


    Me: ''well, I've been having some problems with the neighbour who shouts abuse at me for no reason at all, and dumps his rubbish in my back garden.''

    Oakley (sighing): ''As your doctor, your health is of paramount importance to me, therefore, I'll help you with your problems with the troublesome neighbour. Have you ever used a flare gun?''

    Me: ''No, never.''

    Oakley: (opening his desk drawer and handing me a bright coloured flare gun that looks like a toy.) ''We'll deal with that neighbour together, I'll give you lessons in an isolated spot, as to how to use it, but if you could, can you help me gain access to your neighbour's attic?''

    Me: (mystified) 'Erm... Doc, I'll try, what are you planning on doing?''

    Oakley: ''Wait and see, but by the time I'm done, you'll have no more problems from that neighbour, and your blood pressure - most importantly of all, will be back to normal. By the way, I know that smear teat wasn't the most pleasant experience for you last time you were here, so I have some drums of petrol as a way of making it up to you, in the boot of your car.''

    Me: Thanks a million, Doc, petrol is so damn expensive, that's very good of you!''

    Oakley: ''Ah, don';t worry about it, it's just a token of the high esteem in which I hold you, by the way, I might need a favour or two in future.''

    Me: 'Ah, grand (not thinking of anything but the free petrol) ''no problem.''

    Oakley: ''I'll write you a script now, just a mild sedative to relax you, but remember what I said.''

    Me: ''Thanks a million Doc, you've been great!''

    Oakley: 'Well, that's what I'm here for; any more problems, come to me, phone me day or night, your health is so very important to me.''
    Me, forgetting all else, just delighted with the free petrol leaves with my script, thinking what a top bloke Oakley is! :P :D


    DISCLAIMER: This is a joke; I'd never accept a flare gun or petrol from a doctor :P:D

    Judging by the mode of transport the robbers brought with them ( hand trucks) to clean out the station I doubt very much they'll have it cleared in 20 minutes.

    My dad asked me...serìously...how does Karen make it from Carraigstown at 9pm on a Sunday to appear in Striking Out at 9.30 as Lucy in Docklands.

    I really thought he was joking!

    That's easier than Ciara getting from Walford at 8:30 on Monday evening to become Brigid Kiely in Red Rock for 9. At least Karen and Lucy are in the same town

    I don't think - correct me if I'm wrong that they've ever done older woman/younger man relationship in FC before -apart from Jane's fling with Ciarian, but I mean in the permanent sense. My mam said there have been quite a few vice versas - i.e older men, younger women (according to her, Bela and someone called Linda was a prime example) They have been getting very close lately and one is rarely in a scene without the other.

    There was Sorcha Byrne school teacher who had a fling with Ross O'Rourke, student in 2004. Ross later provided the pills (Ecstasy, I think) that killed Dolores' child Jessica

    Ah Robbie a bracelet ? 200 cigarettes and you'd be on a promise.

    Along with a crate of vodka thrown in as an extra sweetner! :P :D


    Can we just keep Oakley - don't worry, the FC writers being the geniuses they are will find away to brush his murders and hostage taking under the carpet - and get rid of bloomin' Carol! He's much better craic to watch!

    Sorry for all the consecutive posts, but I've had some health issues and am only catching up with the thread now. :)

    By the way, does anyone hate bloomin' interfering Nora as much as I do?

    Even my mam who used to like her (I never did) is starting to get peed off at her now over all her pushing Robbie back to Carol and nosy, unasked for advice!

    And bottles of orange to go with the vodka. Carol drinks the same drink as me though I drink vodka with rockshandy at home but never asked for rockshandy out in a pub cause I doubt they would have it.

    Not just you, Nora wrecks my head. Constantly miserable.

    In fact I'd say she's my least favourite character since that woman who went out with Christy, can't think of her name but she was a nun in Father Ted and is in the ad about gas installers with Daniel O'Donnell!

    Shes awful and she really has been on our screens for months now non stop, why cant she just fcuk off, if not forever then at least for a few months soi don't have to look at her craggy face.

    Also, I love how FC use the tried and tested formula of "Person A walks into Spar/Vinos/Community Centre/ followed 2 SECONDS LATER by Person B, who for whatever reason is angry with Person A. They usually say something like "lets go somewhere else..." and I'm left thinking "How did you not SEE Person A when you were clearly only 2 seconds behind them on the road???".

    I must admit, when I first say Oakley in the hoodie I thought it was Ciaran.
    I still think he is ciarons father. !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,503 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    Poor Dr Oakley!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,503 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    Everybody knows the article about Farrah about article is a fake when they'll read that she's blonde!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,910 ✭✭✭Gwynplaine


    Very high dependency on coffee in Carrigstown. Eating and drinking out every day would be very expensive. If only someone knew somewhere in Dublin where someone could buy a kettle.

    Caddle just finished a coffee in Vinos, 2 scenes later she's in McCoy's having a coffee.

    Get a grip Emmet it's not a stiletto :)

    Christ Miriam is the most wooden actress even by FC standards

    Doctor Oakley for president.

    How many beds can there be?

    How often in FC does a character walk into a room on their own in FC only to be surprised there's another character in there?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,503 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    Ok this kevin is gay story is just strange now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,336 ✭✭✭Cormdogg


    Emmet will probably be done for assault

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,336 ✭✭✭Cormdogg


    WTF are Christy AND Kevin wearing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,336 ✭✭✭Cormdogg


    Show of hands please. Has anyone here ever gone into the local boozer on their own and ordered either a coffee, orange juice or sparkling water?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,792 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    Aoife and Karen must have had a personality transplant, they are getting very bitchy.

    Carol has met her match. And here she goes again with her same old "Ooh I'm so hard, me. Ive met hard nuts that make you look like a teddy bear" cue lighting a fag and her wrinkly chin snarling at the screen, I hope Aoife kills her, what a fcuking waste of oxygen Carol is. 100% past her sell by date.

    This whole Kevin storyline has gone from 0-100 in two weeks. He was straight 2 weeks ago and now hes basking in being gay, waaayyy too fast!
