Emmerdale,Kerry, it just trips off her tongue,Corries Robert skipping between Michelle and Vicky?
Oh purleese
( I don't watch EE, they scream at each other)

Doesn't everyone lie at times? It's only a matter of degree, isn't it?

Haha, I try not to L.I.K

Eddie was a terrible fibber.

[Bobbisox1]

C'mon, who's Eddie ? :0)

Yates?

[Bobbisox1]

Aww he was lovely, the Kate great Geoffrey Hughes

Lies are a standard soap plot enhancer - if people didn't lie there would be no need to 'have a word' and the entire edifice would collapse.

[Bobbisox1]

So sending out the right signals then A-H, it's okay to lie? It was much more genteel....back in the day :-/p

The Robert/Vicky story line is bordering on the ridiculous.

[Bobbisox1]

That's what I mean Danny, it's akin to a Whitehall farce ( remember them)

[dannyk13]

Yes, with Brian Rix.

What on earth are you talking about?

Soaps don't 'send out signals', they construct pointless ever-decreasing circles of plots where deeply unpleasant people interact with each other to the point of insanity, and all insist on living cheek-by-jowl with individuals they actively hate and attempt to harm emotionally and physically on a daily basis.

It's TV fluff, not 'sending signals'!

[Bobbisox1]

Oo-err Mr H
"What on earth are you talking about"

It's not necessary to be so rude .....is it?

[ummmm]

If soaps were made to give off the right signals you wouldn't see people cracking open bottles of wine as soon as they walk in the door, taking drugs, drink driving..etc etc

Would that be more or less rude than putting words in my mouth (using the 'So' Rule of course) -

[Bobbisox1]

Eh?
Oh my days...forget it, haha

[Bobbisox1]

Oh and just for the record ,I have no idea of what rule I've broken, maybe you can tell me?

[retrocop]

It is a pathetic personal rule that we all ignore.
The ‘so’ rule does not infringe the real Site Rules. It just demonstrates what happens when our Sgt Bilko clone allows some petty fogging duty go to his head and become overbearing. :-(

[Bobbisox1]

A bit confusing, does this mean I can't use the word 'So ?
How odd :0/

[ummmm]

It basically means you're putting words into someones mouth. Words that weren't said or typed.
