Tip for the day. Don't ask Klee about sex, as anedotes you'd rather avoid will swiftly follow.
People (meaning Mancunian kids from whom all non-rap slang seems to spring) have been saying 'bumming off' meaning 'enjoys almost too much' for many years now.

No, it's "buzzing off," your mind is lodged even deeper in the gutter than mine is. Or, if you're my very Manc friend, then it's "peaking off," but I've always thought that sounded shit.

No no, it's been 'bumming off' since I was at High School. Ask any scally kid you like.
Variations on the theme include 'He bums off it', 'Mr so-and-so bums off you' and 'Why don't you just go and bum it then!?'
I'm not making this shit up.

Sally, Rawseh and Sawpheh talking about Trinny and Susannah. Raised above the bar by Sawpheh claiming that Rita told her one of them was shagging a royal, or something. I think you had to be there.

Oh my. On fire tonight!
Starting with Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson (not modern, but Eurovisioners will know), Mission Impossible and even Elaine Paige's showtunes programme on radio two (apparently). You can tell it was a Johnathan Harvey episode!

What happened regarding Lorraine Kelly? Was somebody just watching the Scottish Love Goddess' Show? I saw a bit of GMTV yesterday morning and Lorraine was told to watch out for it.

It's only sort of pulp culture referency, but has anyone else spotted that the Corrie art department is going overboard with fake publications? Monday night, Les was reading a quite clearly fake tabloid called the Daily Pulse, and I have spotted copies of "Hiya!" (a Hello/Heat piss take) a couple of times. Is there any need for it? Surely any random edition of Heat will feature a Big Brother star and/or a celebrity displaying cellulite, and so won't date too much between filming and transmission?

...and it was Mick in "Brookside" ,not someone in Corrie, cos it was Phil Redmond who decided to crash the plane onto Annie Sugdens farm.

Exactly - it's completely realistic that hairdressers have mags six weeks out of date, so use the current editions while filming - perfect!

A lot of the ones written by Jonathan "Beautiful Thing/Gimme Gimme Gimme et al" Harvey had lots of pop culture references in. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I think I remember Ashley proposing to Claire while East 17's Stay Another Day was playing. They were on about East 17 and Claire fancying Brian Harvey the whole episode I think.
I think the most cringeworthy one was Craig Harris at the start of his 'goth' phase was when he said "I'm going upstairs, to listen to Cradle Of Filth". It was pretty wooden, and looked really out of place, but it was funny.

There was a lovely bent moment a while back when Jason referred to his friend 'Moss Side Lee' in one of Jonathan Harvey's episodes (Jonathan Harvey having co-written the Pet Shop Boys musical 'Closer To Heaven' in 2001, which had a character called Mile End Lee, etc), which was appreciated by at least one gay watching at the time.

I thought that too, but Corrie does have a history of commenting on its characters' appearances. My favourite examples are Danny saying he was sick of Adam and his 'comedy barnet', and when Sean said he should have known there was something odd about murder suspect Angela Harris because she always wore thick woolly scarves indoors.

It's not Popculture, but I really love Blanche talking about her mates from The One O'Clock Club. One got a mention tonight, but it was Friday's mention of the lady who locked her heroine addicted grandson in her boxroom, which led to him jumping out the window and requiring the wheelchair that she used to need until she went to Lourdes that had me in stitches.
Tonight's episode was ruined by everybody still having their christmas decorations up. No wonder the street's so unlucky.

"Heroine addicted"? Is that something to do with Aaron Spelling?

Sean also said that everything was very que sera de brouhaha, which was a quote from Victoria Wood. Not sure if that's a pop culture reference or just a shout out to the Gays.
