[alchemies]

Old thread: Happy Valley Series 3 - BBC1 9pm started 1 January 2023 - no spoilers - tv pace – thread 2 www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/4718852-happy-valley-series-3-bbc1-9pm-started-1-january-2023-no-spoilers-tv-pace-thread-2

New thread for the grouchies 😉

@WeAreTheHeroes sounds like a reason for Craig David to make another of his random appearances on tv shows 😂

…chilled on Sunday

@DuncanBiscuits

For those of you who have found the most recent episode has stretched your credulity too far, I offer a comment from Twitter which shows that you are right, and the show has really and truly "jumped the sharK' . . .

I'm willing to suspend disbelief to a degree, but the writing on #HappyValley is becoming absurd. Some things just don't happen, and this scene is the most far-fetched so far. NO WAY was a Transpennine Express service running on time.

But nevertheless, you can turn off the vibrate function when on silent. Mine is basically permanently on silent/no vibrate.

Pleeeeease!

Noooooooo!

I want to see the wedding - Ivan with a broken nose, no teeth, two cauliflower ears, face all swollen and purple, knuckles all split and unable to get his ring on . . . Matje with barely a hair out of place . . .

GET THEE BEHIND ME, YOU DEVIL, YOU!!!

<twitches 😳>

Aah you tease JemimaPyjamas 😫

Who's dm'd her 👀

Hilarious comment about TPE never being on time- you're right, it does stretch credibility!

@Emotionalsupportviper and @HannaHat only one person! I live in the area, and hence 'things' (the exact plot of which I don't know) were seen. I can't do some huge reveal, and it could also potentially provoke more questions that in it initially looks to answer!

Just seen hairdresser lady is in Waterloo Road

Made me smile, too. 😄

I'd have liked to give the Tweeter (Twit?) credit, but it seemed bit cheeky to post someone's details onto a forum they hadn't voluntarily joined so I left it anonymous.

You learn incredible things on Mumsnet.

Are there really still people out there who think a phone can't be on no ring and no vibrate? They'd never understand my world!

I know! I said upthread about my dds always on silent and no vibrate being the bane of our lives. She has a phone phobia so the thought of it ringing doesn't help her anxiety. But, if me or her dad need to get hold of her we can't!

What's a phone phobia?

@FeltCarrot yes I said earlier that cesco was on the boat in s1 so been his friend for years

I also said this earlier

A few loose ends

@JemimaPyjamas you can't say things like that to @Emotionalsupportviper

She's barely making the week 😂😂😂

A phobia of phones, making calls or even receiving them. I don't think it's a phobia as such but she has severe anxiety and this is something that she finds really difficult.

Actually, scrap what I said before, it is an actual phobia @lyson

Thank you Blondees

I'm glad somebody is on my side.

<must control urge to PM>

<grits teeth>

Help me, Obi Wan Blondes . . . you are my only hope . . .

I'm the same - I always have been. I am just very uncomfortable using the telephone and will put it off as long as possible, even when it's just stuff like ringing the doctor, getting in touch with Mr Viper to pick up some bread on the way home etc.

If I have to query something/ have a dispute etc, I get myself worked up into a terrible state.

It's ridiculous, and i know it is, but I can't help it.

Be strong and brave @Emotionalsupportviper

You will only feel remorse and regret if you go to that dark shadowy place 😂😂

Going back in the conversation a bit, but for those of you asking if court escapes happen, Den of Geek shared an amusing tweet showing an attempted escape from a Russian court. www.denofgeek.com/tv/tommy-lee-royce-happy-valley-stunt-bizarre-real-world-parallel/

I'm watching Last Tango in Halifax for the eighty billionth time and have just spotted Joyce playing Paul Jafri's mum in series 1. She brings him back to our Gillian's and dumps him on the drive.

It's become a spectator sport spotting actors from SW's dramas popping up in her other stuff!
