no spoilers were used in the preparation of this post

Ladies and gentlemen, it's that time of year again (your gout's acting up? - ed) when the Blanche's Polish Hipatorium fills with the glamourous and the gorgeous, with the movers and shakers, the literati and the gliterati (get on with it! - ed)

(Next cue card please). 

2010 has been quite a year on the Street with births (Liam Jr), deaths (Leanne the rabbit but not Leanne the escort/arsonist), weddings (Gail & Joe), many legovers (some naughty, some nautical) and assorted crimes and misdemeanours.
