What is the point of them?

Really?

I meant to post smouldering looks. Smouldering on it's own sounds like she set fire to stuff.

I don't know who Alf Roberts is. I suspect he is not a gay icon. :( Or any sort of icon.

Is it safe to google Alf Roberts?

TheVermiciousKnid · 22/10/2011 10:41

Having had a good look at Alf Roberts' photo on wikipedia, I can safely safe that I am not Alf Roberts. He has got an insufficient quantity of chin hairs.

I don't want to be Annie Walker - she was in charge and all sensible.
I want to lean against the bar and talk bollocks with Eddie Yates.

Alf is an icon. I insulted him by mistake on the RickyGervaisisacunt thread and brought some fans out of the woodwork. He's a cracker. And single, now Ailsa has passed.

Stan Ogden? Confused

I do not want to be Stan Ogden. I see myself as more Margot. Or possibly Barbara. Please, not Stan Ogden.

Hully does not Love me. The caah :(

Elsie! i forgot Elsie. I think really the only one for Elsie is Shirl.

I am Sally because my mum says I look like her' when she had her hair in a bob.
Fact.

Yes. Sadly shirl must be Elsie.

I saw your regrettable Alf moment SuePurbly. It all got very tense. I got worried for you as the Alf fans started gathering.

Hullygully · 22/10/2011 10:55

But Stan was lovely

and Alf was reliable and sensioble and List-trustworthy

Who can Belle be then?

She'll have to be Mavis

OP posts:
Hullygully · 22/10/2011 10:56

I loved Mavis and Derek. They were the most underrated comedy act ever.

LadyEvilEyes · 22/10/2011 11:01

This is good.
Who's going to be Vera Duckworth?
You, Scarah?

ScarahStratton · 22/10/2011 11:02

One step away from being a hairy handed trucker. :(

Pagwatch · 22/10/2011 11:08

Albert Tatlock

BellaDonnaSansMerci · 22/10/2011 11:09

Mavis Grin

Pagwatch · 22/10/2011 11:10

Sorry scarah. I don't know where that came from.

Hullygully · 22/10/2011 11:11

All right Scarah, this is your final offer: Audrey Roberts

Gail Tilsley or whatever she is now?

TheVermiciousKnid · 22/10/2011 11:18

Right, enough of this madness! I might be a MAW. I might be pointless. But I am me, my own pointless self. I don't want to be anybody from a soap opera. That way lies the path to despair (or something like that).

Anybody for more Earl Grey?

ScarahStratton · 22/10/2011 11:27

Ailsa from H&A? Grin
