Dreaded looking like Fanny Craddock

I’m sure that’s something we all worry about. Daily.


What you know about cricket you could write on the back of a fag pack and still have room for War and Peace

Harsh Mr Tom’s Sausages (but probably all too true about Jazzer)


Brian’s on form

Forced to partake in cocktails at The Dower House with Matt and Lilian, Brian’s on top-notch form:

“I would rather stick pins in my eyes”

“All that fresh air, I expect” (on Jennifer’s comment to Matt that he was looking good)

“It was like skiing uphill” (at the end of their evening)

“He’s even cagier now than when he was put away – I wouldn’t trust him with a library book”

According to Brian and Jennifer, Matt and Lilian look rock solid. At the moment …


You grow the flipping things!

Second week into her new job, and the cracks are becoming huge between Tom and Brenda.

Why Brenda started cooking everything at the weekend for the week I’ll never know – is Tom completely bereft of any culinary skills? Or is he just lazy? Or has Brenda confused modern day living with a 1950s housewife role?

So while Brenda’s handing out samples (“like being back in a burger van with heels”), Tom can’t even get it together enough to have spuds or veg in the house. Which he grows.

“I’m so tired I’ll tell you where to stuff them”

Quite right Brenda. But you did create this situation by being such a doormat.

I don’t think they’ll be setting their wedding date anytime soon.

my guess is that brenda kept announcing she would cook the meals for the week to soften the blow of her being so far away. it was probably more of a pacifying tactic and wishful thinking on her part than kowtowing to 1950s roles. either way, looks like tom will be in charge of meals for the foreseeable future!

Ah - that's a really good point. I was a bit perplexed over Brenda's sudden need to do all and every bit of housework. Looks Like Tom's failing badly on that front - not sure he accepts that it's called a 'partnership' for a reason ...
