Tony Gordon It's Friday: The Bin Man cometh (and goeth) edition

spoiler alert: this post makes reference to the November 10 episode on CBC

Let me see if I've got this straight. Trevor, Bin man extraordinaire, used to have a serious legover going with Carla (once described by Peter Barlow in a church as 'smoking hot') and is now planning to get it on with Janice in a pre-owned Volvo. (I can't believe it... a Volvo - ed). It's not that Janice isn't a comely lass. She certainly has share of quaint feminine charms (getting bladdered and barred from the Weathy Arms? - ed). It just seems like a dramatic contrast in relationships, kind of like when Brad Pitt left Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie. And, I suppose if Angelina Jolie worked (skived you mean - ed) in a knicker factory, lived in a grotty flat and chugged bottles of lager, she'd be just like Janice.  But enough of my mithering. let's get this TGIF started with a few choice lines from the past week:

Liz returns to Weatherfield with a new hair style:
"It's one of Manolito's creations"
(Quick, find this Manolito... and kill him)


Tracy describes her wild date with Frank, the clothing manufacturer turned predator:
"Best night of my life since I got out of prison."
(even better than listening to Ken read aloud from the Oxford English Dictionary?)


Becky in a raucous fight with Liz:
"You're a tart with a bus pass"
(monthly or weekly?)


Steve summarizes Tracy's modus operandi with men:
"You just off 'em when they get on your nerves"
(breaking up is hard to do - especially with a blunt object)


Julie is not amused by the music being played by Janice at all hours:
"I'm not a fan of Meatloaf"
(well, just eat the vegetables then)

***
Well, it's already Friday and Becky is still in the doghouse. On the plus side, Big Jim is back. On the down side, so is John. And Kevin winning $200,000? Give me a break. Let's just keep our fingers crossed for some juicy stories next week. Oh what I wouldn't give to see that narrow boat return to the canal and Ken on long walks with Eccles or donning a Kimono. Well, A Corrie lover's reach must exceed his grasp or what's a heaven for? See you next week and have a great weekend. Cheers & thanks for stopping by.
