Star Wars Episode VII:The War of the Dopeys

The battle lines are drawn – David as Darth, Jude as Hans Solo, Pip as Leila and Ruth as Yoda.

Nice to see that the kids of today still use Star Wars references, though I must insist that ‘Episode IV: A New Hope’ is the first movie, and is called Star Wars. Petty, I know ...


Van goes like a whippet, Eddie is quick as a ferret

I reckon Eddie’s just struck gold with his new business plan.

Though Bert was right to steer him away from using the word ‘Logistics’ in his business name. That’s almost as bad as ‘Solutions’.


Clarrie over the bonnet

A representational metaphorical image of Clarrie to go with her name over the bonnet?!?

As Bert put it: Blimey!


Pat ignoring or was she told?

Did Helen tell Pat about Annette being pregnant? Was that during the tearful visit they had from Helen after Annette flitted?

Or is Pat hearing the word ‘cot’ and just ignoring it out of
(a) respect for Helen, in the knowledge that she’ll speak to her when she’s ready
or (b) she, along with the rest of us, feels ill at the thought of Helen becoming a mum (in Helen’s current, and past, very shaky mental state)?
