Tony Gordon, It's Friday - Nov 12

-
Have you ever noticed that Corrie characters, despite heavy drinking and killer hangovers, never seem to keep a full bottle of pain relievers in their homes?  Invariably, they stumble into Dev's Corner Shop and say: "Do you have any paracetamols?"  Then they walk around with massive headaches until the Rovers opens at lunchtime and history repeats itself... Anyhoo, enough yakking from me (Here here! - ed). Let's get to some of the memorable lines of the week in an award-winning feature I like to call 'Tony Gordon, It's Friday' or TGIF. Here goes:

After burning cakes, Rosie admits to Sophie that she's no chef:
"My talents don’t lie in the kitchen"
(hmm... in which room do they lie?)


Betty Turpin voices her opinion on Jack's philosophy of women:
"What you just said is the biggest load of codswallop I've ever heard in my life"
(and that's almost nine decades!)


More wisdom from the legendary Jack Duckworth:
"Widows, nuns, lesbians, steer well clear of 'em."
(sounds like codswallop, the sequel...)


Prospective home-buyer, Mr. Burrows, sizes up Gail's house:
"It’s a good-sized house, bigger on the inside then you'd think."
(...kind of like the TARDIS on Dr. Who)


Kelly Crabtree assesses an offer from Steve, Lloyd & Teresa:
"You want me, a lovely available young lady with legs to die for, to join you middle-aged saddos in a free booze fest?"
(sounds like an offer she can't refuse)


Teresa expresses her interest in imbibing alcohol:
"I’m in the mood to get well bladdered"
(not really a news flash, let us know if you're ever not in the mood)


Rosie thinks about selling her car to pay for a breast augmentation procedure:
"I cannot wait to tell John Stape that he’s paying for my new boobs."
(good idea! Best to keep him abreast of developments)


Dev's takes offence at Tyrone's accusations regarding Dev & Molly:
"I’m a family man"
(Yes, just ask Nina and Tara.. and Prem).

***

Well, that wraps up another week on the Street dominated by the sad news that Molly and Tyrone are splitting up. Hopefully, Ty will get over Molly after a while and find happiness with someone else. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by. Enjoy Sunday's omnibus and see you here next week for more of Blanche's Polish Hip. Cheers!
