Fat Brenda's Cream Horn


Sorry I've not been on here for a while loveys but there's nobody at this flamin' cab office nowadays so I've been working every shift going! That Cheryl has gone to work at the bistro so she can bore everyone to death in another location, me beloved Eddie has suddenly discovered a work ethic and disappeared to Germany and Steve is running The Rovers and ruining Streetcars. There's just the three of us now: me, Lloyd and Lloyd's new hair-do!

I'll tell you what confuses me loveys, are we supposed to like that Chris now? I mean, apart from the fact his flamin' clothes seem to fall off every ten minutes, I'm sure he used to be the same fella that hit Cheryl! He told me he understands how Maria feels being the victim of someone who can't control his urges (how?) and then threatens Frank for not being able to control his urges when he should understand Frank more for not being to control his urges rather than Maria who is the victim of urges (like Cheryl). Has he moved in with Maria an' all? He wanders in and out of that flat without a by yer leave... and then his clothes fall off again. Then he's mister sensitive and upset that Dev sniggers at him for looking at a wine tasting poster and then his clothes fall off and before all that he arranges for Janice to be burgled and then his clothes fall off and then he's sensitive again and then he's not... I'm in a right pickle over it all loveys! I was one of them ignoring him cos of what he did to Cheryl but now everyone reckons he's alright. How can he be when he used to hit her all the time whenever his clothes fell off?
Gail must be right peeved that her dad, Ted, hasn't been around for a while cos it seems to have turned her all homophobic! That lass needs therapy to get over the rejection and maybe it'll stop her hanging round her poor son and trying to work with him! Poor Nick, what a choice for bar manager - the most boring lass on the planet or his own mother!
Sean said he had a belting time in London although I did see on the news that the teddy bear he left on a bench was designated as a potential terrorist threat and blown up in a controlled explosion by the army! That poor flamin' bear, guilty of nowt more than turning up in London when Violet was suffering from PMT!
Becky came in the cab office last night wearing what appeared to be Liz McDonald's cast-offs! She was all, "I'm gonna get leathered cos of summat that's happened an' that!" Within ten seconds of the conversation starting I'd fallen asleep face down on me Bella. I've heard it all before loveys, "Wake up Bren" she kept shouting, "Brendaaaaa! I'm gonna get so drunk cos of summat that Steve's done, just watch Bren, proper drunk I'm gonna get. Watch! Bren! Bren! Wake up Bren! BRENDA!!!" I finally mustered up the strength and courage to listen to her, "I'm gonna get well drunk and it's gonna be some fella's lucky night!"
"Lucky? Flamin' lucky?" I said, "There's no fella on the planet who'd consider 'emselves lucky to be saddled with you!"
She didn't answer loveys, she just started drinking from a vodka bottle in front of me. I was so shocked! Vodka? I prefer gin! I can drink twice the amount she can and I can do it without making big song and dance about it! I tried to give her some sleeping tablets an' all, just to finish the job off properly, but she wouldn't take 'em. Typical! Still, them biscuits she made were alright though.
I think in this world of failing public services and public sector job cuts it's heartwarming to see the immigration inspector who interviewed Xin and Graeme working on a bank holiday, completing his assessment out of office hours and managing to post it over the weekend to get delivered on another bank holiday! That is what I call a belting employee!
Ken's grandson's moved in this week. It must be bursting at the seams in that house! It's a good job Ken and Deirdre have an en-suite cos I've heard Tracy spends hours in that bathroom practicing her evil glares and sinister smirks in the mirror. Amy likes it in there an' all cos it's the only place not contaminated by Deirdre's ciggie smoke and her mother's evil vibes!
He seems like a nice enough fella though, does James. I said hello to him this morning. "I'm James and I'm gay" he said, "That's right! You heard me, gay! Yer just gonna have to deal with it!"
"Lovey," I told him "what you get up to in the privacy of yer own leather underpants is nowt to do with me... why don't I introduce you to Gail, she flamin' loves the gays!"
Right, I'm off. Tweeter here, complain below and for the love of Cliff be flamin' nice to each other cos it's a short life we've been given on this planet... unless yer trapped with Cheryl or Eileen, ten minutes with them feels like a flamin' eternity!

You should apply for the Bar Manager job, Bren, I'd love to see you mixing gin and Sunny Delight cocktails.

You know, The Street is getting so boring - re-run story lines at Blackpool, violence. Gail's sour puss. Grahaem and Eddie - great characters - leaving. Good characters like Julie, Silvia, Connie, Pam getting nothing at all. They shouldn't have killed Osama - they should have let him live on Coronation Street - he would have killed himself. I'm out.

Why doesn't sean take up the switch and the bar manager's job at the same time - he seems to be everywhere and handle everything! or he could share shifts with marcus.

it isn't Chris's clothes fallin' off that bugs me (I AM human, and female after all) but the expression he has on his face every time - like 'oopsie, how the 'eck did that happen'...then the big ape pose that comes with.

and I agree, you should be the manager of the Bistro...just think, working side by side with Nick, day in and day out...hrm, on second thought.

I went for a job at the bistro and I made me signature drink - a pint of gin and Cinzano or 'The Ginzano' as I call it but he passed out after drinking it an then I never heard back from him!

A fantastic blog post as always Brenda! Made me laugh out loud at several points especially the part about Becky. Great work! :)

And by the way here's a parody Twitter account I've set up for Becky:

Oh how I look forward to your posts Fat Brenda.....well done! LOL
I too wondered who the heck is answering the switchboard over at streetcars......bring Eileen back, she's wasted at Underworld. I was surprised no one commented on that girlie top Tommy Duckworth had on in Friday's episode.....that's all I thought about while watching.....looked like he stitched it up at Underworld all by himself.....even Tyrone didn't give it a second look....very strange.

Brilliant Bren. Dire episodes but hilariously summerised, so much so that I'll skip the episodes and wait for the creme horn instead!

Bren

I believe you have a relative here in Canada, she's Ma Reardon (played by Mary Walsh on This Hour Has 22 Minutes.)
