Doctors Addicts Anonymous Continued - TBFE sees a SDTP wearing a waterfall cardigan and thinks 'WTF?'

[MsNobodyAgain]

Welcome one and all to the fan club of the afternoon soap 'Doctors'.

For any newcomers , explanations as follows:

TBFE: The Bloke From Emmerdale (Ian Kelsey who plays Howard)

SDTP: Saddo Doctors Thread Partakers (which we all think know we are but we love it anyway).

Waterfall cardi: Apparently these are a MN no-no but it's a wardrobe essential to a SDTP.

Gobbyplods: Karen and Rob Hollins, aka 'the only plod in the village'

Beanbags: are now being Freecycled and will be passed on to other lentil weavers.

Missed today- various school/car related things to deal with. Need to catch up later!

Welcome Bibble !

Poor Jimmi, he really doesn't have much luck, though it seems a bit silly that Chimmi went fromspeedy wedding/ honeymoon to near divorce at warp speed...Princess Bubblegum isn't really living up to her name. She's more of an Oscar the Grouch at the moment.

Looking forward to 'Can I call you Wini?'

Well I've just watched it. Best bit was definitely the "Can I call you Wini" bit followed closely by the "I know" bit.

Why hasn't Heston returned home? Why hasn't Juuuuulia's house gone on the market?

I notice TBFE actually pronounced Mrs Tembe's name correctly at one point.

Sorry that my post from earlier has appeared again. I went out when MN was down and now I've turned it back on it seems to have posted my rubbish again.

See now I loved the

"the Tembes of xxxxxx are not easily intimidated"
"well I'm from the black country bubs so bring it on"
Exchange between the two of them!
Made I larf.

o.k- I have sat down to watch this- and have been constantly mithered for the last 10 minutes. I am dis-owning my famiily. Oh dear- holiday clashes.

Who is paying the rent/mortgage on Juuuuuuuulia's house? And Heston's?

'the bird is fully prepared'

who was the Fagin character?

The 'can i call you Winnie' bit was ace

ha! Foisted Gobby, by the intercom!

Jocasta was in 'Drop the Dead Donkey'- i bloody loved that show!

Yay, finally- Jimmi has faced up to Daniel.

ooh, Eva. oh dear.

Heston has a spare house!

Is it compulsory to have ditsy receptionists?

Jeffrey is the cat

wtf-ness is restored.

makes that made me laugh too. I can't decide who would have won if it had come to blows. Mrs T probably fights dirty but would stop if someone dislogded her wig.

Raahh indeed. I missed that one.

No Mrs T or Karen for a week and a temporary receptionist wetter than a soggy dishcloth.

Sigh.

Why are they ditching 2 receptionists at once?

Haven't watched todays (airport run) but will try and catch up on Iplayer if I can stay awake long enough

makes your 'made I larf' comment made me larf, reminded me of when I lived in Bristol

Makes - I wondered the same thing about the "made I larf" comment! Are you a fellow former Bristolian?

Never been to Bristol in my life! No idea where I get that phrase from :-) Sorry

Caught up. Does new ditsy receptionist fancy Howard?

Makes don't apologise, that makes it even funnier

Biscuit former Bristolian you say.....have you been to Ikeal or Asdals lately?

I do hope the new receptionist is not going to be a permanent feature- just that brief glimpse of her made me hate her already- don't go Gobby!!

(apologies in advance for any dodgy typing that may occur- dd2 managed to rip the space bar off my laptop, and although it is sort of fixed it is making things stick, and taking me ages to type!)

Yes, Mildred, and I do often enjoy playing with the animals in my DD's Noahl's (Noel's?) Ark! And I do wear daps rather than trainers!

Clearly the new receptionist is going to reveal more of the backstory of TBFE and 6tl. Oh I just had a thought - I wonder if she (6tl) is his ex-wife and she had an affair?

I often wonder why there isn't a 3rd receptionist, anyway. They have two receptions and Gobby is also a HCA. They both also have extraordinarily generous holiday allowances going by the number of days off they have. Who is covering the other desk?

Will there be patients today?

Oh no Mandy is back

Yay. Took Baby Cakes to his first toddler (as opposed to baby) group today and he was very brave and undaunted. It's also worn him out so beautifully that he fell asleep on the way home at 12 and is still asleep, so I get to watch Doctors live and in peace!

Hello. watching live today. Haven't caught up though so i won't know what the hell is going on. This intercom story still going then?

pmsl @ TBFE on the intercom

Oooh patients today.
