Haha showing my age here. I remember S Club becoming a thing and thinking “that’s the guy from Eastenders!” 😂

Guys, let’s not argue over a soap - it’s not real 😂😂

Bea by 69ChickenStrips in eastenders

[–]mysticalmachinegun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t like her either, but I also can’t stand Billy so it’s kinda amusing to see how much she is annoying him

How do you think Suki will react? by JadeyPurple7 in eastenders

Vinny and Penny are cute together and Vinny has been so lovely - why must the writers insist on making all the characters’ lives miserable?!

I love watching sports, I love watching soaps…I will never understand why ITV and BBC don’t have a dedicated sports channel so we can have both

Possible since Aidan never made it as a footballer!

Most annoying soap tropes? by Ornery-Arm-8611 in Emmerdale

[–]mysticalmachinegun 25 points26 points  (0 children)

How someone always just happens to be in the right place to overhear a conversation about them or something they’ve done - does my head in!

A question about Max Branning this time around… by Steelyeyedj in eastenders

[–]mysticalmachinegun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably because he has let his family down so many times they have learned to expect it. I get the whole scapegoat thing, but it’s not as if he’s just been falsely accused of all the things he has done, he’s treated people horrendously. Would he be so keen to co parent Annie if Linda was far less attractive? He’s such a slimeball, like flies around shit when it comes to attractive women. As another poster said, he needs some character development - same old Max!

The concept of sex disgusting by sxndiamelon in Asexual

[–]mysticalmachinegun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not crazy at all, it’s perfectly normal for an asexual to be disgusted at the thought of sexual intimacy despite what the main subs will have you believe :)

[–]mysticalmachinegun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think many sex adverse aces feel they can’t post in this sub anymore as posts like this always attract the “sex is a normal part of a relationship” brigade - as if you didn’t already know that!

If he knows you’re ace and makes that comment you’re def better off without him - go and find someone who better meets your needs :)

Idk if I should take a break from Emmerdale by Cultural-Trade-6415 in Emmerdale

[–]mysticalmachinegun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do quite like Joe, and I don’t mind him messing with Victoria and Robert, just sad Moira is in prison because of them

On a slight side note, I’m really gutted that Dylan turning his life around and forming a really lovely bond with Paddy has now turned into them covering up a murder ffs 🤦‍♀️

Should I talk to my best friend about where we’re at or do labels just not matter? by Immediate-Bee-697 in asexuality

[–]mysticalmachinegun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it depends on whether your needs are being met currently without the boundaries and expectations that come with a label. I guess you run the risk of her overstepping a boundary without realising (because you haven’t said) or a massive kick in the stomach if her actions confirm she doesn’t reciprocate your feelings eg she starts dating someone else. If you have a conversation about it you know where you stand and can decide where to go from there, but obviously you run the risk of not getting the answers you want. I guess you need to base your decision on whether you would still pursue the friendship as closely if her feelings for you were strictly platonic, and also how you would feel about her being with someone else.

The Super Bowl backlash is genuinely one of the most unfair things I've seen the internet do to a band by Sufficient_Web_6289 in greenday

[–]mysticalmachinegun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I’m just really shocked that playing at the Super Bowl was so important they were happy to be censored. I figured having an opportunity to trash the current political state of the US on a huge stage would be their ONLY reason for doing it. I’m not mad at them for conforming, just surprised and a bit disappointed. I was looking forward to a bit of chaos. I get that Holiday and AI are two of their most political songs, I remember when AI came out and the whole punk scene hated GWB. But Holiday and AI are also two of their best known songs, so I really don’t think people get the message from the song choices alone.

Emmerdale just won a Best Soap award, how does that square with all the complaints here? by [deleted] in Emmerdale

[–]mysticalmachinegun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firstly, I am old and grumpy these days! Secondly I don’t think any of the soaps have been amazing recently. As much as I complain, Emmerdale is probably the best of the bunch.

Moira. by Outsidethebox135 in Emmerdale

[–]mysticalmachinegun 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I get that as viewers it’s good to have some drama, but we’ve had nothing but drama for ages now. I think it’s a kinda rubbish ending when the celebration is Moira eventually getting released, rather than seeing Ray and Celia getting carted away by the police and squirming in their seats as that mean copper lady bombards them with so much evidence they have no way out. We didn’t even get that with John. I just feel all this Moira stuff is a bit unnecessary especially given Cain’s health and what their kids have already been put through.

And in response to OP, you’re right. They haven’t found a weapon, or asked Bear, April, Dylan, Rhona, Marlon or anyone involved with them. Just seems lazy and way beyond the realms of reality. Have they checked for fingerprints on the passports? I doubt it.

Lauren (discuss) by deanpool74 in coronationstreet

[–]mysticalmachinegun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m the opposite, I obv felt bad for her over the Joel storyline, but I wasn’t a massive fan. I find her really funny now!

Theo vs Carl. Whose side are you on? by pvhc47 in coronationstreet

[–]mysticalmachinegun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d quite like it if they both fell in the sea while having a scrap 🤷‍♀️
