she did have a charming way about her, her hair style on the other hand didnt inspire any confidence in the blue rinse brigade! Blanche was the first to

remark on the colour, looks like she has used a
shoe dye by mistake, "go away Blanche you are always
putting your oar in" said Janice , with that remark
Blanche clipped her around the ear , and Deirde
shouted " Mother cant you just

leave well alone - you always have to interfere - have you ever said a kind word to anyone in your life? But Blanche being Blanche just

try and keep that big gob of yours shut!!!! Deirdre was so infuriated that all the veins on her neck jutted out and her jaw was clenched!!! Blanche took umbrage at this remark stating that she was always honest with her comments and if people didn't like it then tough!! At that moment Janice's dynamic boyfriend came along - he looked about as interesting as a cold fried egg and asked Janice if she

fancied a nice evening in and he would cook supper as opposed to a pint and a bag of port scratchings in the Rovers - Janice asked what he would be cooking - egg and chips was the reply whereupon Janice

told him he could stuff it where the sun don't shine!!! She wanted a more exciting life - things had been so dull - even Les had disappeared to God knows where - nobody even mentions his name these days - strange she thought. However, in an attempt to bring some excitement into her life she decided to join a dating website and see if she could find anyone with a bit of go in them. The first person who made contact was

Norris but he was using a nom de plume - D'Arcey St Claire - Janice was quite impressed with this name and thought he sounded as if he had a bit of cash so she decided to set up a meet - to this end she

told him she was 5 10 tall and had a pedigree as long as your arm, Norris was duly impressed, and arranged a meeting,on the red rek at 8,oclock. o.k.she said,and

don't bother to tell me about your past loves - nobody has had as many as myself.

So, it was agreed that the pair would wear something .......

lurex,and bright,Norris turned up in a lurex cowboy hat and Janice wore

a lurex thong and two tassels!!! Fortunately Norris had donned dark glasses to make himself look kinda cool - neither recognised each other which was surprising!! D'Arcey, aka Norris suggested they go somewhere secluded and a little warmer as Janice has goose pimples on goose pimples. She went all coy which took great acting skills and agreed to go behind some trees with him. They walked towards a copse where Norris

commented on the flora & fauna.

You are boring me, said Janice, and off she trot to the city wine bars leaving Norris all alone on the Red Rec

where a group of cider swilling teenagers threatened to smash his glasses if he didn't give Chesney his paper round back

and they pinched his lurex cowboy hat and shades and climbed up a 40' statue of Prince Albert and placed them on him instead. Norris was furious - he had paid good money for those he yelled but there was nothing he could do - frightened of heights and not getting any more agile as he grows older so he decided to cut his losses (the evening had been a washout and had cost him money) and go to

the shop for a bottle of wine and some biscuits. He knocked on Rita's door. I need a good friend and a shoulder to cry on Rita.

Rita invited him in and Norris told her about the nights happenings

'Well, Norris! you do bring a lot of it on yourself chuck. You need a couple of days away from it all love. Why dont you book a few days in a B&B in Blackpool?

he was surprised to find Rita had moved the shop to Coventry and then realised he was hallucinating!!!! [don't think anyone noticed that] Rita was shocked that Norris had once again ventured on to a dating website and said she thought he would have learned his lesson the fiest time round. He looked suitably admonished and decided that from now on he would

(Anne...I had to change the Coventry story cos I was beaten to it..lol)


Be content with the thought of sipping cocoa and staring into space on his lonesome. Emily

was watching the end of a really good B&W movie when she heard a noise outside. Someone was rattling the bins in the back yard....Emily went into her kitchen to look out the window. No one had ever ventured in to Emily' kitchen so she wasn't exactly sure of the layout, but she entered in the dark anyway and

could not find her bible.She couldn't sleep without reading a few passages from it every night. She called Dot Cotton in Albert Square and asked her to
