Re: Coronation Street is Rubbish!?
 

oh, Sorry WM....I thought you knew....will you need to arrange counselling?

Re: Coronation Street is Rubbish!?
 

Yep i am a shell of my former self in the space of one post, as for the counselling anything that involves getting to actually stop and get a lie down i'm up for that :D

Re: Coronation Street is Rubbish!?
 

Oh, No....there won't be any lying down.....that is psychoanalysis........much more costly.
You will be asked to act out your anxieties, in relation to your belief that Coronation Street was a real place, and portrayed real life.
The good news....it is only seven and sixpence a session.

Re: Coronation Street is Rubbish!?

Re: Coronation Street is Rubbish!?

He's not such a catch.

He's lied to her.

He's actually a doctor from Casualty, now unable to work because of Parkinson's.

Oh, and he's actually gay.

Becky's in for a shock.

Re: Coronation Street is Rubbish!?
 

I agree with some of your points! One big error in all soaps is the issue of prison visits. They always get non-family members visit appointments on the day at short notice! In reality that does not happen. An individual or family member can not turn up at a prison to see someone in there by cold calling - they just would not get in. Yet in soaps they always do - it's rubbish! Your right they are all stereo types all northerners arn't drunks or wife swappers - except maybe Jaysay! :p:D

Re: Coronation Street is Rubbish!?
 

Hell WM, its a good job your not an Eastenders Fan, you'd be totally suicidal thinking that was real life:D

Re: Coronation Street is Rubbish!?
 

I ain't got a wife and would have gladly swapped my last one for a Cocker Spaniel, they're more faithful and I drink very little:p. One think which has me wondering though is how do you know, in great detail, the visiting rights of those in HMs Prisons:rolleyes:

Um Corry won the Best Soap at the TV awards last night

Re: Coronation Street is Rubbish!?
 

There's no credit in being 'the best'.

In every barrel of rotten apples there is always one which can be declared least rotten.

Re: Coronation Street is Rubbish!?
 

Yep the prison visit thing has always bugged me too. We used to visit a lifer who was an old school friend of my partner and had to wait for him to send us a visiting order before we could go and see him. He was in several different gaols before he topped himself and the routine was always the same.
