Amy, pleased as punch, as she revels in getting the police called out to "a quiet night in with some pizza and a few friends" which had turned into a fractious rave up with dodgy videos and a lot of alcohol consumption! Teenagerdom has arrived and unlike her mother stuck upstairs listening to a few tapes Amy is going to surf those currents as they break around her. Amy goes on to blame the parents in her exchange with Eileen!
"Where are the peanut bowls?". Not on the side where they should be (above) and hugely more important than defeating Charles is Ken's concern over the re-located peanut bowls. All on top of losing Eccles. Ken does defeat Charles and his charlatanism at the election but has decided to return to The Street as we all knew he would. Claudia goes all out to get him to stay - but when she invokes Norris as the reason for Ken staying even she knows that the game is up and that she is leaving Coronation Street - sad really given those superb set pieces with Evelyn a couple of weeks ago.
And Amy is her mother's daughter. She grabs a bag of rubbish and upends it over Kelly's head in front of Corey and Asha. Not quite a Corrie Cobbles Catfight and it has been a while since we had one of those but it looks like that we might get one a few years down the road! It augurs well.
You know the feeling it is always you in trouble and then suddenly the focus moves to a sibling - the utter relief that it is not you this time. Simon has been hardly seen for months and has never really recovered since he was so nasty to Leanne. It would be good to see him having a good story but I am not holding my breath.
Friday was the second part of whichever day Wednesday was set. I have rather lost track of when this would originally have been transmitted. Steve and Tracy have agreed to buy Ken a new bed in the front room and Tracy says that someone has to look after Ken's best interests - which as Steve observes above only Tracy could make it sound like a threat!
Someone thought it was funny for there to be a running joke through Wednesday and Friday over Carla's alleged inability to pull a pint - after all pulling is her speciality. Above she is pulling a pint for Steve who observes that the trick is in the elbow and she retorts that he can wear it if he prefers! I am convinced she has previously worked behind the bad when 'Chelle was unavailable but perhaps her pint pulling was just as bad then!

It has been another unusual week. I have been out of the house twice - once was to collect a prescription and then today to post a letter (and I am not sure that is an approved excuse!). This is being written on the same old keyboard but with a brand new computer which came recently and has now been taught to sit up and beg when I hit it hard enough. Why does software think it knows better than the user - especially Excel (other spreadsheets are available) which has apparently been upgraded to the point where it does not work the way I work. I despair!
