Every time someone mentions Arfur in here it makes me chuckle 😀

DameSquashalot · 13/08/2017 13:25

MrsJayy · 13/08/2017 13:46

Laurens clothes are just odd.

The80sweregreat · 13/08/2017 16:06

Yes, your right, he aint no Harry!
I can still see a Whitney/ mock/ Linda triangle emerging, with woody thrown in.
I caught a glimpse of lee ryan on tv this morning. He must be due a visit to the square soon.

The80sweregreat · 13/08/2017 16:09

I did read that ' call the midwife ' is going to be renamed ' call the super sonia'
Coming soon to the BBC.

dingdongdigeridoo · 13/08/2017 18:32

Sonia's expertise covers so many areas that she needs her own House style show where she solves complex medical cases every week.

The80sweregreat · 13/08/2017 18:50

Yep, 'sonia sorts it out..'
Bring all your problems here.

Venella · 13/08/2017 18:53

Haha! Excellent! I'd watch both those shows – provided we can discuss the nitty gritty on here. (like how Sonia's super cape doesn't suit her skin tone, meow)

The80sweregreat · 13/08/2017 18:55

Who would be her Robin though?
Or the joker?

Choccywoccyhooha · 14/08/2017 01:08

I saw "The world according to Danny Dyer," in the library this week. I was so tempted, but then I remembered that I only have one life and I don't want to waste three hours of it on the Dire one.

The80sweregreat · 14/08/2017 07:24

I had to look up the book on amazon - who knew he could 'write' eh?
There was another book for sale too and the reviews ( from his mates) were not that bad either.
I wasnt tempted though.

MrsJayy · 14/08/2017 09:53

I saw Lee Ryan on ch4 yesterday he still makes me rage i do like woody though but Lee just needs to sush

iknowimcoming · 14/08/2017 10:25

Phew been on me hols and just caught up with this after catching up with EE - finally starting to feel like new bloke has taken the reins I think - liked the one-on-one (almost) episode with mock and L! Stacey's maternity get-up is a bit odd, how is she affording new clothes when presumably paying the rent must be a struggle although Martin is presumably boosting her wages by spending every night drinking in the vic? I noticed a sneaky shot of the extended kitchen last night - we saw the far corner of the sink run wall

Agree Louise should be in hospital, not buying the Phil transformation into perfect Dad suddenly. Not sure how Sharon will feel about Phil adopting Denny since his real dad was some sort of god/saint in her eyes.

Carmel/Fi/Max thing making me feel queasy. Also how feckin ridiculous is camping in the park idea? Hey kids would you like to go to a caravan for a week or camp in the park for one night (presumably the one with two picnic benches and a shed selling coffee and ice creams)? Ooh mummy please can we camp in the park! Confused. I'm assuming this is another attempt to get people out of the square for the maintenance stuff?

And finally, when is this bloody holiday that Kim/Vincent/Kush/Denise/Carmel and now supposedly Max are going on - they've been bleating on about it for ages?

Grin
The80sweregreat · 14/08/2017 11:01

Iknow, its hard going when you watch a lot of episodes back to back, plus there are a lot of little stories going on just now and a few left hanging.
They mentioned going on holiday months ago ( when Dee went to work for Kim as the nanny) then nothing, then Vincent said his mate had sold the villa or something, then nothing again - now Carmel wants to take Mad Max along to add to the lovely holiday atmosphere! its all very odd.
Linda is annoying me a bit and i can see, sometimes, why a bloke like Mock might actually stray ( not very mumsnet i know) although i am not condoning it at all.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 14/08/2017 11:19

I've nearly caught up too after a hefty back log of episodes and lots of brilliant comments on here! Don't know how I feel about Linda until her reasons for leaving are revealed?
Confused

I can't help thinking in Real life Mick wouldn't confess to kissing Whit. I thought it was inevitable they would end up together when Lee and Linda left.
Whit seems to confuse any man showing her affection as a come on. Perhaps linked to her never having a decent father figure and being abused by men.. I'm probably over analysing!

I didn't know Max was invited on the Spain jolly. I can't imagine him in little swimming trunks. Hope he packs some Factor 50 and a hat for his poor bald head Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 14/08/2017 11:31

I was also amazed at the camping in the tiny 10 ft square park suggestion. What on earth? Where will they go to the toilet?

The80sweregreat · 14/08/2017 11:34

Max needs a big floppy hat. As long as he doesnt do socks and sandals he shd be ok.
Vincent looks good in trunks i bet.

iknowimcoming · 14/08/2017 12:22

Ha ha yes poor Max - can just see him oiled up in a banana hammock lying next to Kush and Vincent on sun beds Grin

The80sweregreat · 14/08/2017 12:31

The three amigos sunbathing and Mad max going red and blotchy whilst kush n Vincent are lapping up the sun.
Kim in her bikini not giving a dam what she looks like and pearl in a matching swimsuit and cute sunnies.
Dee in a hat or scarf to hide her horrible new hair do ( no fringe)
Carmel being the cool girlfriend around max, or clearing up after everyone.

iknowimcoming · 14/08/2017 13:24

Oh another thing I forgot - the cringey bit where Max oh so cunningly got Denise and Carmel to reveal the name of the councillor who's objecting to their development - really? Hmm

Cary2012 · 14/08/2017 14:05

Max will look like a Swan Vesta on his hols!
Not long until Dee gets the grade for her one GCSE!

The80sweregreat · 14/08/2017 14:23

Cary, i bet she gets a 9!
The new grading system this year will be confusing at first i bet.

I havent moved on since o levels..( old)
I wonder if she will be on breakfast news clutching her grades..

Cary2012 · 14/08/2017 14:34

Oh, yes 80s, she'll get a 9! If they did starred 9s she'd get one of those. Dee clutching her one GCSE, interviewed by Kate Burley live on Sky News...before she embarks on her quest for world domination. She'll sort out Brexit, stop Trump in his tracks, and make the orld safe and prosperous for all. The NHS will be solvent, the streets will be clean and the need for food banks a dim memory.

All hail OneGCSEDee.

The80sweregreat · 14/08/2017 14:43

Gosh, being interviewed by Kate Burley - i think i would rather pull my fingernails off than have that woman putting her mike in my face..' tell me about your 9.. blah blah'
stopping Trump would be good though - i would give any one a medal who could stop him being president by the end of the year ( if we/re all still here that is.. bleak i know)
Dee has been quiet lately though - apart from a new hair do without a fringe, she hasnt had much to do. maybe the results will hail a new story for her and Kush ( before he goes off to see Claudia and Tess Daly about some bling for his top
Random spoiler alert - Simon Rimmer is doing the dancing this year , he isnt a MN favourite!!

tobee · 14/08/2017 16:38

That camping in the park storyline. Why do I keep imagining they'll end up doing it in the square gardens instead? Maybe it's because wotsisface slept on (old) Arfur's bench? I kept overly obsessing about how hard it would be and much too short. Surely the floor would be infinitely preferable?
