Tony Gordon It's Friday: the toy boy edition

Well, Corrie lovers, it is a speech that will go in the annals (watch the language -ed) of history as one of the best, champagne-fueled declarations ever delivered in the Rovers. A veritable 'Ich bin ein escort' or 'ask not what Lewis can do for you, but what you can do for Lewis' . I'm talking about Audrey Roberts' spirited treatise on toy boys. What better way to introduce this week's edition of TGIF, your round-up of memorable Corrie lines. Here we go:


Charlotte tries to seduce John Stape:
"I'll even call you Colin if you like" (... and tell him he needs to be spanked with a limp pashmina?)

Eileen compares her dull life to Audrey Roberts':
"A 70 year old is having a 100 times better life than I am"
(That makes 7,000 on the boy-toy enjoyment scale)

Audrey makes a stand in the Rovers about her relationship with Lewis:
"Yes, okay, Lewis was a gigolo and yes, okay I used to pay him by the hour."
(..and yes, okay, we used to dress up as Bo-Peep and a naughty sheep in the bedroom)

Even Emily has an opinion about Lewis and Audrey:
"Audrey's one of the few women I know who really suits a boy toy"
(Her favourite movie is 'Boy Toy Story')

Rita chides Norris for complaining about having to go to the washroom at an inopportune time:
"The entire world plans itself around your bodily functions"
(yes I hear the Royal Wedding was delayed for two hours)

Ryan gets testy with Sophie and Sian
"Can you read her mind now? Is that a Lesbian thing?"
(yes, it comes with the membership card)

Audrey enumerates Gail's string of bad husbands:
"A murderer followed by a suicidal, drug addict."
(and those were the good ones...)

Gail's riposte to Audrey at full volume in the Rovers:
"I think you've topped that nicely mother by asking a male prostitute to move in with you."
(um... anyone for more champagne or a sausage roll?)

Audrey concludes her speech in the Rovers:
"Yes I may be 70 but my life is just beginning"
(I hear 70 is the new 50... quid an hour)

***

Well that's it for another week as we watch Lewis and Audrey sail off into the sunset -- at least for one or two nights. Yes, I know Gail is upset but, as Audrey sagely points out, she's had more nuts than a squirrel in autumn. Ah well. Enjoy the weekend and the omnibus episodes and thanks, as always, for dropping by and visiting Blanche's Polish Hip. Cheers!
