Dreary deidre! (sorry if this is the wrong catagory) :-)

[unruliejulie]

I've taught my 3 year old son to do an impression of Deidre Barlow! Am i a bad mother????? "Ooooohhhhh Ken", he gets all the bits in his neck standing out and everything so im quite proud! Is this wrong? BTW, i drew the line on him smoking a fag! Just for the record!

[missyR]

I completely agree julie - i had a mad crush on steve owen when he was in and everyone thought i was odd lol! But then nigel harman came in (dennis rickman) then he was killed off!

[porfavour]

I still drool over Steve Owen, but he doesn't look quite so cute sitting on a DFS sofa in a polo neck,

[unruliejulie]

porfavour, he'd look cuter sprawled across my bed thats for sure, Martin Kemp is my very favourtite man!

[hopalong]

You are a disgrace unruliejulie. The actress who plays Deirdre had a cancerious growth removed from her neck and all you can do is poke fun at her. SHAME ON YOU

[hopalong]

You lot are disgustring. I wonder if you would poke fun a a loved one who had major surgery to remove cancer? Naaaaa thought not so show respect for heavens sake.

[unruliejulie]

oh hopalong, you soooooooooooo dont know me, i was not referring to her caner, just the bits in her neck that stick out when she acts angry or cries, we ALL have them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its not a cancerous growth that sticks out is it? get a grip!

[unruliejulie]

just to clarify hopalong, tense your neck, stick out your jaw and see what happens!!!! she doesnt mind smoking the fags after having cancer though eh?? and it was years ago, she is well over it and it is totally irrelevant to my tongue in cheek question! and btw, i take it you DO think im a bad mother then as well as a disgrace????? LOL LOL LOL!

you could also check out her neck pre cancer, i have an old video, its the same as now!!!!!!! Good grief, why do people take everything so bloody seriously!
This question was fun, but not now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cheers!

[whiskeysheri]

Oh, for crying out loud, hopalong! Get a life. No-one was mocking her for having had cancer! What are you on?!

PMSL, Jules! You're my kind of mum! He's gonna go far, little man... :o))

x x x x x

[unruliejulie]

Hi WS, im glad you dont think im disgraceful! lol, he also does a Lou and andy impression and Vicky Pollard plus a few others but i think i best keep them to myself, for now!!!! I'll get him on the stage yet!!!!!

[whiskeysheri]

LMAO! I definitely want to see them all in the future, LOL! I want my very own performing little man, too! :o)

x x x x x

[unruliejulie]

you will get to meet him soon WS, without a doubt xxxxx

[hopalong]

I just don't think its very clever to poke fun at other peoples misfortune. BTW, Julie, I walked with an proshetic leg, you you let your son to mimic the way I walk?

[unruliejulie]

hopalong, lets get this straight shall we????! i was NOT i repeat NOT poking fun at her having had cancer, i cant see where you are getting so mixed up with that! I was poking fun at her ACTING skills!!!!!! It is that not cancer! Did you read my previous explaination?? i doubt it because you have it stuck in your head that im disrespectful!!
I resent you saying this crap about me because you dont know me, i do NOT laugh at other peoples illness or disability, FFS this is silly!!!! I am one of the most respectful people on this sort of thing i will say it once again, the way she sticks out her neck is her acting, not a past cancer she beat years ago. just for the record, i was a mentally handicapped nursing assistant, my mother was a nursing sister, i have a nephew with aspergers syndrome and i have lost many loved ones so dont you dare preach to me about sh1t like this!!!!!!!!!
where the hell is her disability????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? im lost, you have amazed me!!!!!

[whiskeysheri]

Oh, FFS, hopalong! Get off your flamin' high horse, will ya?!

The actress who plays Deirdre Barlow (Anne Kirkbride) has always been known for the way her neck 'pulls' when she's acting, regardless of when and where she had cancer. Don't tell me you've never come across anyone who has pulled that 'turtle-neck' impression for a laugh!

Jules is truly one of the loveliest, most respectful members AB has and I'm lucky to have her as a friend. You really shouldn't go throwing accusations around before you have your facts straight!

[unruliejulie]

hi WS, thanks so much, i hate to be thought of like this, its not me and its not true. I give up with this site, you cant even have a laugh anymore without someone having a bloody go at you! i give up asking any more questions, certainly not ones done in fun! Most took this in the fun it was meant, hopalong, you chose to take things totally out of proportion! and for the record, i once had a bust up on here with a fellow ABer for defending heather mcartneys disablility and the jokes being made about it so how dare you patronise me about making fun of things like that??? as i said, you do NOT know me!!!!!!!

[hopalong]

julie, No, I don't know you ,and I never intended to partronise you and It seems I have offended you. Well I am very sorry about that. I agree with you on one thing though, shes a terrible actress, but then most are in Corrie.

[hopalong]

Whiskysheri: If I could get on ahigh horse then I would get of it but as I said I have a proshetic leg (Artificial) so getting onone in teh first place is impossible.

And no I have never come across anyone who has pulled a turle neck

[funkymoped]

hopalong !!!! thats a funny name, where did you think that one up ????
is it as you said because you have a false leg ?!?!?!?!
isnt that taking the proverbial out of OTHER people with false/artificial limbs ?????

i dont ride a funkymoped, so i guess i must be taking the p!$$ out of moped riders !!!

face the facts hopalong, you went over the top.... you thought you had a reason to defend someone that wasnt being hard done to....
i, nor anyone else saw an insult or mention of cancer in the thread...
it takes a VERY SHALLOW person to cling on to an argument that doesnt exist...
it makes a MAN to admit he was wrong and offer a FULL a apology !
i wonder !?!?!?!?!
:-)

funkiemoped: My surnmame is Cassidy. I use
Hopalong Cassidy as a handle. Nothing to do with my disibility. There was once a fictional cowboy called Hopalong Cassidy played by William Boyd. That's why I use it

[hopalong]

Well, funkiemoped I did apologise. Maybe the fact I have had tumours removed, and possible more, that I was a little sensitive to the original post.
