I really hate Emmets cardigan. Unfortunately I homed in on that due to utter boredom.

Have to say am sick to death of Pierce and Rachel and their money woes. And as for that Pete and Damian s***e the less said about that the better. Thank God for Cass, though: ''You can't beat the smell of the wind in your clothes!''

groucho marx

We were meant to be a team..... team mace mouse!

With these Ferrero spuds you really are spoiling me ma. Jesus talk about filling gaps with nonsense.

Ducking hell, the state of Jumble's clothes. About ten layers

How did he survive in Thailand with all those layers

Yeah Emmet looks like he just came off the set of The Revenant.

Is Bob's romance with Jackie over, did Ellie Renee and Heather scare her off him

Twill take a better man than Bob to get into jackies iron knickers.

I can't wait for what will hopefully be a nice summer in Ireland. Emmet will sweat his privates off in all his layers of cardies.

Can we all join hands and hope Rachel Trump and Pierce go to Australia forever?

Am I sad for wanting Rose and Cass to begin a passionate affair?

Barry was one of my favourites they could always bring him back he left on a bus as far as i can remember.
They have to go to Kilkenny Tommy's always banging on about it:)

Barry is in Batman Begins. So is Huey, and Chawlie Kelly's son.

Emmet's face, hair, stubble, snood, wooly cardigan/coat/hoodie are all the same colour.

No bother at all Dermot, you left your credit card at the glorified hostel and next thing the bank is calling you as some body is on a spending spree yet you have seen Rachel told her what happened but not asking her to look at CCTV to catch the culprit.

The mind boggles at times with the writers of FC

My credit card was skimmed once. The bank rang me to tell me I was buying stuff from Victoria's Secret (!!) in Texas, something else in NY all in the space of a day or so.

But here's the thing - they charges never made it as far as my credit card, the banks fraud unit took care of it.

Then a couple of years later, I seemingly bought some electrical gear in east Belfast. The first I knew was when it appeared on my statement. This time it took form filling, phone calls, a change of card and general agro but guess what? I didn't pay for that either. The onus is on the bank to prove you bought it (pin, signature etc)

So if Derms has any sort of cop on (and is not dealing with the Bank of Toyland) then he shouldn't be out of pocket at all and this whole story is about as realistic as the "Stripey is going to jail for murder for accidently knocking mumbles on the head while pushing him out of the way of a fight" storyline.

I noticed Rose is turning into a stripey, they even had one odd stripey sock.... All those odd socks looked pretty new to me.

As an accountant and overall financial expert he should be well aware of this!

As a person old enough to have a credit card he should be aware of it. I mean when the bank rang him (they did ring him didn't they?) what did he say? Did he not ask what could be done? Ask for proof of purchase?
I didn't see the episode in question but I'm assuming the conversation went like this:

"Hello. Am I speaking to Derms or Dermish?"
"You are? Is that Hayley?"
"No Derms this is the Bank of Carrigstown. Just to let you know this call is being recorded"
"Oh right. Is this about binjamin?"
"No Derms. Can I just get your date of birth?"
"I don't have one. Jo wouldn't let me have birthdays"
"Right ah well we'll get to the point. It appears you credit card is being used quite frequently in the last couple of hours. Several transactions have gone through totalling large sums of money. Did you make these purchases Derms?"
"God no. I'm so broke I have to put my "High end clients" up in a sh1thole hostel in the even bigger sh1thole of Carrigstown"
"We see. Well your credit card has been suspended"
"Right. Thanks for that. I'll pay you within 28 days of the next bill issue date"
"Really? Great. We'd thought you'd refuse to pay for purchases you didn't make. Nice One. Have a nice day"

Ya had to laugh at Stripeys stripy dressing gown and then Eoghan had a few stripes on his sweatshirt and Rose had a stripey jumper!! They are reading this thread

Granny Gripey came to stay in Stripey's house in December to help when Mumbles' battery ran out. Now, nearly three months later, she's still there.
Maybe Gripey should consider giving her a gentle nudge next time they're near a counter-top .
Well, it worked last time.....

Farrah and Floyd getting very close in Red Rock hope Heather don't watch

Folks, at the risk of repeating myself, when Boards was out of action a few weeks ago, I struggled to get through Fair City 'on my own'.

No matter how bad my day has been, I come on here, read your posts and laugh till I nearly cry.

Honestly you girls and boys are better than Prozac.

And let's face it, as much as we moan about Fair City, life would be so boring without it.

I think every town should have a hungry pig.... sounds like the dirtiest eatery known to man.

You're always guaranteed a laugh with Fair City unlike the other soaps like Eastenders which are basically misery porn.

Luckily, we have the Late Late Show to cover all our misery porn needs
