P.i.N., I must advise you that you have a life!

If you didn't you'd know that this is earth shattering news for a large percentage of the population, (mainly female).

I'm reliably advised that many rehab clinics are now over booked with people wanting treatment for withdrawl symptoms!

:wink:

Surely there must be something else happening in the town worth reporting ahead of this?

What about Peter Owens? He hasn't featured for ages.

the only good thing about the article, is the promise of a picture of Kym Marsh,
which isn't there :evil:

That's Hartlepool for you ...shut down the hospital and you're greeted with indifference ... endure a night without Corrie and their pathetic worlds fall apart and are thrown into chaos.

I almost spat my tea out laughing when some woman said she thought it was "disgusting" that there will be no soaps on tv on Sunday night.
Well, for all of those people who like to watch but won't be able to from now on, I would just like to point at you all and laugh

In the Mail last week, on about page five in their regular 'International/World News' column, it took up about a third of the page up with some storyline in Coronation St where a member of the cast falls over a cliff!!!

Is this what the Mail considers International News ffs!!

When I was listening to "Real Radio" (wherever that is based) in the car the other day, one of the main news items was about a blokey from Hartlepool who had put a chip pan fire out with his ma's or grandma's size 18 knickers. Woopy fookin' doo...
