I'd say he's been bullied by those other lads.

Remember the mobile phone thing going back a while ago, wasn't one of those fellas who broke it?

Even the way the whole thing happened was strange. I've seen similar things happen the owner comes over and cleans up and that's about it. They'd never suggest giving everybody things for free.

I want to slap that bloomin' Kerri-Ann for her attitude! Poor auld Decco did nothing wrong and she's behaving as though he was the one who cheated on her!

I hope he bins the c*** off once he finds out the truth, then finds someone with more than one brain cell and a decent personality...

And her personality has changed a bit since Christmas. She's still as thick as a short plank, but she's gone from would be unicorn jockey racing along the sandy beach racecourse to being a proper cruel, bad tempered b**** in the past month or so.

Love if Sash had a proper go at her, though!

Another 6 months of Kerri Ann snapping at Decco whilst Mondo sips a coffee/pint sheepishly in the background at Spar/Vinos/Community Centre/Station/McCoys/The Park.

Great.

Jim to Bob - "Stay out of my way", cue every subsequent scene with Jim having Bob appear immediately!

At least Bob said what the audience was thinking when he said staying out of each others way in Carrigstown would be impossible.

Eva in Corrie mighn't be as thick, but to me she's from the same class of characters too - i.e - thick female characters with nothing really going on between the ears, except shopping, makeup, cutsy stuff, and random ''what the hell did she just say'' irrelevant things that make no sense whatsoever, or are in some cases - naive on the character's part - offensive.. (By the way, in case anyone gets offended, I'm female myself)

What I don't like about Eva and Kerri-Anne is they can treat people terribly and get away with it. Other characters would be called loads of names.

Bob looked like he lost a lot of weight, he looked very gaunt... Hope he's OK.

The Arcade, WTF is happing there? They had the place cleared out last week for a makeover/new build but it just seems the same, just a bit Feng shui, still looks like an amateur theater set up.

Bob : "No, Renee, we can't go off on a holiday right now. And look, this place is getting really busy."
Eh, Bob, I hate to burst your bubble, but you have three customers, two of whom are drinking cappuccinos from empty coffee mugs, and the third reading last October's Irish Independent.
So yeah, Bob, I think we can afford to give you a few days off...

Ah, Doctor GrumpyHole is back. Based on his last stay in Carrigstown when he did some of his finest consultancy work in the park, the supermarket, and the chip-shop, I half-expected him to ask "Is there a park bench or a half-full rubbish skip around here anywhere? I have a patient outside who needs a complete colonoscopy scan and a fully-gloved rectal examination. Now!"



Jake doesn't like teenagers hanging about , messing up his Tudor-themed, three-tabled, corporate dining hall
"Someone is going to have to pay the dry-cleaning bill for the table-covering. It was a beautifully designed red-and-white check paper cloth, designed and specially sewn for us by Jean-Paul Geautier, using only the finest recycled paper"
Melanie : "Here's 50 euro. Will that cover it?"
"Yeah, that'll do nicely."

Dr. Grumpy : "Yes, Shane is off doing vital voluntary medical work for MSF out in Somalia."
MSF? Aren't they the ones who keep putting adverts on ITV, telling us about their brilliant furniture sales?
I didn't know they had a showroom out in Somalia.....

Your posts never fail to make me laugh. Have you ever considered observational stand up comedy as a way to make an additional few euro, because not only are your posts bang on, they're gas too! The ''Tudor themed corporate dining hall'' had me in bits!

Cass and charolett also had a vegetable garden going on... I don't think in real life these Older /Younger friendships go on, unless you're a carer.

I did work experience in a nursing home for a bit and got very fond of most of the residents, and I am proud to call an eighty two year old woman - a really sweet lady - my friend, even though I'm a few years off the big three - O.

Maybe it's because I was always so used to the older neighbours popping in for a visit, and my upbringing, but I've always had a deep respect and fondness for most of the older generation and enjoy hearing their stories, in particular their life experiences.

Then again - to quote Ryan Tubirdy (even though I can't stand him) I've always been a bit of a young fogey.

fair city felt strange to me tonight (sunday) ... a bit dis-jointed . Renee kept getting up and down at the table and her arse kept blocking the camera ... and i saw a double decker bus drive past vino's - i mean I have often seen the Bus Stop there but I dont think I have ever sen a bus on that road!

Maybe it was just me where it felt strange tonight

If Kiero wasn't banned he'd surely be straight on here praising FCs camerawork. :pac:

Seriously though, isn't MSF one of those charities that was mentioned recently in the news regarding inappropriate behaviour by some of its managers/employees? I thought maybe FC are going to incorporate that particular issue in its next storyline.

If I could give the thumbs up to this post more times than one I would. I actually woke up with a smirk on my face thinking of your remarks re ''the Tudor style dining hall' and pictured Jake and Cristiano running the place attired in cod pieces and Tudor era clothes, whilst Greensleeves, being played by a fella on a lute plays softly in the background, and you can't turn for lifesized portraits of Henry VIII

And the dress code wouldn't extend to the staff only, but to the customers too... I can magine Jake in full costume (who, for some reason has turned into a grumpy b****** all of a sudden, barking at customers whom unwittingly wander in dressed in modern garb, and forcing them to pay fifty euro or wash up in the kitchens as punishment for not sticking to the theme.... :P

That's why I love this thread so much, you guys always give me something to smile/laugh about!
