HateSummer thanks for wasting a few minutes of my time

Endured the first few minutes, Summer.
Danny Boy is such a bloody awful unusual name isn't it?

I feel a bit sorry for any actual call centre/cold call workers, eastenders makes it looks like a proper shit career choice well it is but it must be pretty depressing to be reminded of it every time you put eastenders on

He sings better than he acts.

Why is he singing in a Northern Irish accent. Per Wiki he was born in the UK. All very odd. Wonder if Danny Boy is his stage name. It is terrible.

We haven't seen the new neighbour again have we? Less one. The one who parcel he stole

no- the new neighbour in Jack's flats looked quite nice too! we need some new blood ( once whitless and lee move out, as they surely will now they cant pay the rent or lee leaves, they can move in a new couple. ( I don't know if lee is leaving btw, another guess)

Always makes me laugh in crowd scenes such as Ronnie's wedding, all the extras they use. Who were those people at the wedding? nobody seemed to engage with them, they must have been family, yet nobody sees anyone out side the square usually and Ronnie;s mum and mute brother didn't speak to them. Professional wedding goers?

Is Danny Boy from a traveler family? That's where i would think his name comes from.

We do need some new people, Masood has gone, R&R have gone and there are a couple of others that are meant to be going (i won't say who in case someone on the thread puts out a hit on me or sends Mick to iron me out )

More leaving? I hope not. They did that with Emmerdale years ago. A plane crash wiped out the whole village. Years before horrific 9/11 happened. They would never dream of doing that nowadays.

I'd like to see Deborah Meaden from Dragon's Den move into the square. She can hold her own in an argument and calls a spade a spade. She could also afford the housing prices and would tear the council off a strip for not collecting her rubbish.

Talking of neighbour, did he go online to order a new one? Or did I imagine it? Could have been baby stuff instead (have a very small TV!)

Ilost, deborah would scare the council into collecting the bins!

Maybe the song is from a musical set in Northern Ireland? The writer/composer has written stuff for Broadway. It's a poor song so I'm just going to assume it's out of context. Danny Boy is a decent singer I think. His name always makes me do a face though. Imagine running that one past the baby names board on here.

'Oh Danny Boy, the balliffs are a calling..'
To paraphrase the real song!

The unknown people at the wedding were Uncle Ned's kids of course!

Who were they? All that fancy stuff and champers, i was so jealous! ( how do you become an extra) ?

I would love to attend a wedding like that and stay in that hotel, avoiding the pool area obviously.

Enid they need to televise EE extra auditions. I'm thinking "Do you have the extra factor?" hosted by Alan Carr.

Alan carr would be fabulous at this type of reality show!
' now, how are you holding a champagne glass' ?

Sorry, 80s, I called you Enid

I think the trick to being a good extra would be looking inconspicuous, acting normally in social situations and being good at muttering quietly. I'd be bloody useless

Or if you are the Pink tuban man, always crossing the road in front of / behind main characters.

I'd be great on stenders, I already talk like Peggy Mitchell, I love hanging out in local boozers and I'd never say no to a bacon Sarnie in the Kaff.

It made me laugh when Danny Dyer threatened to iron Craig Revel Horwood out if he upset Kellie Bright when she was on Strictly.

The two of them are apparently on something called Lip Sync (?) tomorrow: Danny Dyer is dressing up and performing as Amy Winehouse and Craig Revel Horwood as Britney...

I might have to find it and watch it, just to see what Danny Boy's competition is like

Lip sync battle is usually very funny, if you have sky look for the one with Steven merchant

Ilost, no worries!
I would love to visit the set! I think id make a bad extra too, i am too clumsy and would drop the glass, talk when i shouldnt! Not the new career for me but i could quaff the champers in a paper cup i suppose!

I can eat a bacon sarnie , just not one of babes pies. No to that.

So witless didn't know about the money after all, you would have thought the penny might have dropped when lee told her he worked in a call centre and wasn't actually the head of the Bank of England

Aw poor Jack .
