Coronation Street

Is it? And yet two guys playing slobbery tonsil hockey doesn’t turn me on. Possibly other women find it nice? Pigs might be different I guess.

The old Me would have started a thread about this, grilling everyone if it did or didn’t … but as I now only think fragrant thoughts I shall abstain.

JBR, firstly I doubt we’re allowed to call it ‘bent’ any more :-),
I think you may be right about soaps using these scripts to make it more acceptable.
Think of the kids growing up now who see it all the time on telly, they will grow up accepting it more easily than we ever did.

Well, speaking only for myself of course, but yes it is.

I’m not sure why, though.

Oh dear. I lost track of all these things that are not permissible any more, especially since they seem to change more often than I change my underpants.

When I was a lad, it used to be ‘as bent as a nine bob note’. I must confess that I don’t know what the acceptable expression is these days.

Perhaps we’re not even allowed to mention it for fear of upsetting the snowflakes.

I remember that one too. :smiley:

I used to say ‘bats for the other side’. … :frowning: but that might be interpreted as inciting sexual abuse now so I’ve dropped the bats.

Perhaps one day there will more old people in court than young ones, purely for not realising they are saying unacceptable words any more. :slight_smile:

Can you say that Mups? Are you’re singling out old people ?
I mean I don’t mind like but … as you say we have to be careful.

Haha, oh dear Mort, please be sure to come and bail me out won’t you. If you can’t, will you look after me dogs till I they let me go please:-D.

For you Mups my dear … anything.
We could always raise cash by appearing as two old lesbians on Coronation Street… you know, force them to pay us to leave the set before the ratings drop.

Now that would be in the ‘Scenes I’d like to see’ Morty…

Save that for the “F” thread please.:lol:

Who else has worked out that baby George has a rare allergy to bananas?

That’s what I think anyway.

Mary all is forgiven.:slight_smile:

Yes it’s a slippery slope Carol…:smiley:

God! I’m beginning to sound like Spitty…:shock::shock::shock:

Yes, I did Carol … as soon as her son took the banana from the fruit bowl and gave it to Bethany :smiley:

I never got soaps; they’ll still be going long after you are dead so you’ll never finish them or find out what happens next.

Give me a good boxset on Netflix anytime; at least they have a conclusion. But then, I don’t have a TV and only watch films/series on my computer now and again.

Yes at last they’ve diagnosed a fructose intolerance.

I didn’t reckon anything to the Christmas day episode of Corrie at all.

All the Barlows sitting down to Christmas dinner including Peter - no sign of Toya either there or at the pub! Who was looking after the place I ask myself - surely not Eva all on her own. She was more interested going round with the mistletoe!!

Then of course the Peter/Billy situation. When Billy fell over that ravine it was a straight drop down. Now suddenly he’s still alive and something broke his fall - must have been his guardian invisible angel I guess…

Honestly - I just thought the whole epiosode was rubbish. :cry:

When he fell down that ravine, I thought, “Yes, yes! No more man-kissing. I can eat my Xmas dinner left-overs without suffering an immediate bout of vomiting.”

My hopes were dashed. However, the other one - Todd - has predictably disappeared, several weeks after supposedly having had his contract cancelled due to his touching up women. Come to think of it, shouldn’t that have been for touching up men?

Yes Corrie wasn’t very exciting and no one could have been alive after that fall, but on saying that it wasn’t as bad as Emmerdale now that was crap.
