    .......just remembered she was called Marina.

    She made a brief appearance in Corrie as Charlotte's mother. Kept expecting Howard to appear

    "just remembered she was called Marina" - i always thought her bosoms reminded me of those Victorian sailing ships figure-heads of mermaids......

  • I've just wasted two hours reading this thread and it's had me in stitches and I too need a new keyboard as biscuit crumbs and tea have both been sprayed across it as I read something [else] which mad me laugh out loud. I don't care if it's true or not, it's the best laugh I've had in ages.

    Many thanks Mr Jones. :beer:

    This tale just gets better and better.....
  • hello all. Hope you are keeping well. Probate still going through on the house we are purchasing. We did a drive by last night at the old house (as you do when you move) and the camper was in the driveway...... dinner is still on this weekend so we will keep you posted.
  • The way this story is going, you and your wife will become witnesses, either in their renewing of wedding vows or in their divorce!
