Coat22

WTF was going on in Carrigstown yesterday that everyone needed to go to the doctor (who is actually the nuss)????

Even Ray was given a check up for no apparent reason.

I injuered my knee recently and it took me 3 days to get a referral letter from my GP to get an x-ray - I should have stuck Carrigstown in the sat nav and headed off there where you can just rock in with your cup and coffee and door step the staff for whatever reason possible.

Also so sick of this 1916 sh*t on FC. Its tedious in the extreme, condescending and the writing / acting is its usual useless standards.

Thank God I'll probably have a few on me by Sunday night so I don't have to sit through the old codgers (plus one lesbian) re-enact the stories about how their auld lads brothers auld lad once took on the Brits with his saucepan and won.

Not to derail the thread but why the need to label Katy? Why not just 'Katy?' There seems to be a lot of labeling of gay actors in soap. Nobody ever uses the term heterosexual when referring to straight characters; they just use the characters' names.

Nuss Ama was running a drop-in clinic, checking people for 2 specific conditions - could've been blood pressure and diabetes.

Ah you're spot on - think I remember something about that as I slipped into a coma

Sometimes it occurs to me, if I could go on fc for a couple of weeks and be myself. What would ye all say about me on this thread.

I got extremely confused about last nights episode. So Charlit stole the van and it got clamped?

I was thinking the same, and I'm not just talking about Coat22. Is it (still) socially acceptable to define women by their sexuality? Across the board a lot of people seem to think its normal to make fun of or constantly refer to homosexual women as 'the lesbian'

Charlotte stole the keys to give to Oisin so he could pick up the booze from Charlotte’s contact, after that mission Ohsin dumped the van at Paul's garage where it got clamped, Paul paid the clamping fee.. :rolleyes:

Its got nothing to do with their sexuality - its the fact that for a small community Carrigstown seems to have a lot of lesbians (and yet no gay men?).

I refer to Katy as "the lesbian" not in a derogatory manner but in attempted humour at the fact that she is one of the 4 characters that seem to misrepresent this section of society in Fair City.

If the place was full of Mormons or jihadists I wouldn't refer any differently.

In fact jihadists......its about time a few of the characters started coming back from their lay offs as militants! Maybe Zack, Pete and Callum? Then after their next lay off Bella and Charlie could "come back from Syria" and Deegan could arrest them all.

Are 'Meet + Mingles' a thing now? Something that the cool kids go to? Or is it just made up for FC?

You couldn't think of a more boring story if you tried!

I hate "Mary's" put on accent. It feels wrong.

It's a bogger accent, according to Charlotte.

And when did Mary from Glenroe go all "Me-uerrr Stree"??:D

Sourpuss prefers a business that has no clients or guests.

Here's an idea. Ship that scaldy Sourpuss to Cork and leave Oisin. He's growing on me, plus he actually has half a business brain. And, I bet you wouldn't catch him trapcing half way around the world to get 450 euro back!

Very fetching shade of lippy on Oisin.
My daughter is same age a Rachel and is college, she is in college 35 hours a weeks and studies every evening and weekends , she should be gone to Rachel's college she would have so much spare time to clip clop round the place.

Fittle

Why on earth would business men and women go to a 'networking event' in the reception area of a hostel, with a few tinnies on the table???

bottlebrush

Weeks of a build up of a non story with Dan and Sally, will he stay in Dublin or will he go back to Bermingham....alas, he stays with us
Weeks of a build up of a non story about a play about the rising, which amounts to nothing and is now replaced by them recording their own personal stories connected to the rising.
Weeks of Ama/Emmet/Doug will they won't they... and still nothing
And the inevitable sibling rivalry between Oisin and Sourpuss....how did the writers think of that.
Now that the clocks are going forward at the weekend and the evenings are getting brighter, I'm looking forward to weeks of not looking at this drivel. It's truly awful at the moment

Missed tonight, was a well deserved break off the rising, I feel myself gloss over when those 4 characters bella and Co and mary start speaking.
I long for the days of a good never mind the naysayers mantra from killer slappy
