p.s. whatever he meant as regards cats, he was mistaken to use the comparison with Becky.  Cats are beautiful creatures.  If anything it was an insult to cats.

Norris "I've made a packet of biscuits last longer than his marriage to Liz"

Carla on Dozy Webster "if she had a thought in her head it would die of loneliness"

Sean "when you say laugh you do mean WITH me"

A great couple one liners in Emmerdale the other week from Ely to Sam and Ely to Lisa:-

Ely to Sam in regard to Sam telling Pollard that he had started the fire at the factory (Ely wondering if Sam had mentioned that Ely was involved) "Is that No! as in No? or No! as in Yes? then a little later when Lisa was asking what was going on:-

Lisa to Ely "And what are you getting out of it?" (After she's ranted about the argument between Ely and Sam over the factory fire.)

Ely to Lisa "Blooming ear ache, that's all I'm getting"

Classic!!!

 

Carla (after listening to Michelle's long list of Steve's faults) "such a pity you love him"

Vernon on the split of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young "Neil Young might have already left to become ... Neil Young".

Jerry (top man for) defending Teresa "I know she's know angel but she's been here when I needed her". Such a pity his trust is misplaced (by all accounts).

Dev to Vernon "Rush you? Rush you? You've been in that bunker since half past five!!!

Vernon's speech on wearing what he wanted to wear at the golf course (How shallow did Dev seem compared to the guy they met on the golf course who helped Vernon by giving tips on how to play better rather than judging him on what he was wearing). Or maybe his intentions weren't as altruistic as first appeared considering he has a daughter he wants to marry off - (to a wealthy retailer who has a string of shops perhaps?)

Does anyone remember Ena Sharples (1960's) saying to her friends how her mother died:-

"She just sat down......broke wind...and died."

I think Minnie got up then and offered her a bottle of stout, and Ena replied something like "Aye it must be your round Minnie Caldwell."

Not really a one-liner but best scene this week was Vernon dancing round the golf course because he had potted the ball (or whatever the term is in golf!).  Reminded me of Del & Rodney winning the millions.  Hardly comparable in terms of what was achieved but it doesn't take much to make some people happy.   And that's another reason why Vernon's an asset to the street.

 

btw am I the only one who thought the proposal in the restaurant was not the least bit romantic but was quite tacky?

Blanche, on Ken's rumaging on the loft for his old manuscript "men should have sheds for this sort of behaviour - not lofts"

Blanche on hearing the manuscript was in tact "so even the moths haven't shown an interest then"

Blanche, at the prospect of giving Ken's manuscript back after reading the racey bits "it was just getting interesting"

Blanche handing the manuscript to Deirdre "you've got 30 seconds then it's my go again"

Jed to Tony Gordon, "I'm 40 years older than you, I've got one kidney and a few things wrong with me lungs but i'll tell you one thing son i'm twice the man that you'll ever be"

Don't remember Jed Stone from first time around but it's good to see Kenneth (Marty Hopkirk) Cope back on  screen ("only you can hear me Jeff")

Stan Ogden after kissing Hilda : "What does that lipstick taste of?"

Hilda : " Woman Stanley, Woman"

Still a classic eh?

Danny Baldwin to youngest son Warren "Did you comb your hair with a taffy apple?"

Kevin  "...great bloke, he's the wind beneath my sheets"
