Dear God, Please Muzzle This Child
 

I wasn't on the cellar the last time Emma was. I just caught the tail end of her escapades. I was just trying to be nice when I welcomed her back. Good Lord Almighty! How in the fuck did ya'll put up with her? Is she trying to see how many threads she can start in a day? Plus, they are pure dribble. What is wrong with this child? Why isn't she interacting with friends instead of trolling here? I think there is something seriously wrong with this child.

Jugging from her pics she was raped.

She is a mess Sarge. Just try to stay away until she gets tired. I think that is harder for our conservative contingent as she is putting those beliefs in the worst possible light. I'm still not certain she isn't a hard core lefty's sock puppet but what do I know?

Not so. For the 1st time I have put someone on my "ignore list".
It was hard decision, but a no-brainer.

If there was EVER an improper comment, that just might be it.

Well on one hand, if people are responding, they are interested, and want it to continue.

They say, god gives us free will. So that's as close to a godly response as one can hope for. I guess.

The thread is addressed, Dear God....after all and UT answered the call. :p:

I'm not, email me when your done with this game.

You leavin us bruce?

Agreed.

IMHO 'emma' was malevolent spirit from PD, we opened the portal and something beyond our ken came throogh.

Ahhh see. That's what happens when you let in Things Beyond Our Ken.

Barlow?

You're going to have to order some more Purina Troll Chow.(tm)

That was entirely unnecessary.

As was the Parliamentary time given over to a discussion of her imprisonment. *deadpan*

What, that was Christine Keeler??

That wasn't Christine Keeler :P

That was the much maligned Deirdre Barlow.

Go for it Dana, explain Deirdre if you can, and will she survive the night?;)

I can explain many things Caz...but Deirdre Barlow (or whatever her current married name) is not one of them :p

I'm guessing this is entirely inappropriate Dana but did you watch tonight? For others benefit, tonight marks 50 years since the first episode of Coronation Street, the nation's favourite soap so tonight in addition to much much more they screened the first ever episode in black & white on a square screen!

It was brilliant! I was a mere um ... 13 year old and remember seeing commercial breaks for the first time.

So sorry for hijacking the thread, really sorry!

It's not hijack CZ, it's just slippage.

I did watch modern Corrie tonight because it was a landmark moment.
Was gutted that I watched the first 30 minutes though - no death, no disaster, no trams! I came back down to watch the second episode though, and wasn't disappointed. I didn't bother with the Olden Days Corrie ;) as I'm not a Corrie fan, but Mum has been for years, and Dad pretends he isn't but will not stir from his seat when it's on, except in the advert breaks.

I'll probably watch on Thursday anyway, because there's always a slight frisson about live episodes (a la Quatermass!)

I didn't watch, no. But Mum did. She was fascinated watching the first episode of corrie: she remembers watching it when she was 16.

I do recall, though, watching an old episode of Corrie, on a special programming night on tv. They did a tv line up as it would have been that day in the particular decade. They did a night for each decade, starting with the 40s.
What struck me about the corrie episode was how good it was. These days Corrie is almost pantomime. It has over the top villains and comedic stooges. It is based on a Manchester that exists primarily on TV rather than a Manchester I recognise. But the original Coronation Street was 'Kitchen Sink' drama at its height. It launched some of our greatest modern playwrights. It was grounded in the culture of working-class Manchester and Salford, and it had some powerful social archetypes that anyone living in that area at the time would have instantly recognised. It had real depth and dramatic edge.

Meh - horses for courses.
Catch Mum & dad watcing A Taste of Honey or Look Back in Anger or even Days of Wine and Roses.
Their taste has always run more to light entertainment. But for the amount of time they have to prepare and the real lack of consistency in characters, I think soap actors do a bloody good job. Not good enough for me to watch them regularly - and mostly because of the unreality - but I admire the job they do all the same.

I miss real drama of the Alan Bennett calibre on TV, but amd guilty of not making an effort to watch it. Unless it stars one of my heroes of course. How celeb-obsessed is that?

I don't think it's hijacking, we were all done with the original topic. I missed stuff like Corrie when I first moved here even though I didn't watch it all that much, but then I found it on Canadian TV and realised it had changed so much I didn't recognise it any more. Dana was right with pantomime.
