TUT AND EYE ROLL

justinmoorhouse: @VirginTrains @johnjmoloney 50% of the problem is people aren’t ignoring the Quiet Coach etiquette - they just aren’t aware - bigger sings

VirginTrains: @justinmoorhouse We do have signs on the vestibule doors and the windows. I will pass on this feedback about more visible signs though. ^KW

justinmoorhouse: @VirginTrains I know. I’m very regular in the QC - signage doesn’t jump out though, I don’t thin people make noise on purpose

Charliecondou: @justinmoorhouse @VirginTrains don't get me started on people in the QZ on phones!Obviously I don't say anything.I just tut loudly #British

VirginTrains: @Charliecondou Do you throw in an eye roll for good measure though? That's the proper British way to do it ;-) ^KW

Charliecondou: @VirginTrains of course

Coronation Street's Maria Distraught After Catching Marcus In Passionate Clinch With Todd

Sexuality confusion continues for Marcus

Coronation Street's Maria will be left reeling when she catches her boyfriend Marcus in a passionate embrace with Todd Grimshaw, it has been revealed.

The hairdresser, played by Samia Ghadie, will seek comfort from Audrey when she walks in on her man in a shirtless moment of intimacy with someone else. Teaser snaps show Maria storming furiously away from her lover, while he follows her - shirt in hand - and watches her driving off. Marcus, played by Charlie Condou, first appeared on the show back in 2007, remaining for a year before making a comeback in April 2011. He is set to clear off again this summer. He was initially introduced as a love interest for Sean (Antony Cotton) but when that went awry for the second time, he ended up with Maria. Condou said when his departure was confirmed: "I've had a fantastic time at Corrie but feel it's time for me to move on. "I was only meant to return for three months and ended up staying for three years! The producers have been really supportive and are leaving the door open for Marcus which is great and my exit will certainly be explosive." Stuart Blackburn, show producer, added "I will be incredibly sad to see Charlie go and wish him well for what I know will be an exciting future."


Simon0810: Be a shame when @Charliecondou leaves #corrie as that will just leave the one extremely awful stereotypical gay... Should be other way round
