Suet should look more exciting?

Bless wee Nic. She’s a brave one taking on a whole pudding for the first time.

Mind you, she’s a brave one taking on Mr Will Grundy. He’s been very quiet of late, but he’ll be back soon enough to punch Ed, or moan about the lack of space for his birds, or the way George is being brought up.

It’s good that Nic is getting out and about. Could this be the start of something else?


Ma puir wee lassies

If anyone is going to stand up to Tom’s Sausages when he gets in a shouty mood, it’ll be Jazzer.

Woe betide the person who spends more time worrying about machinery than worrying about Jazzer’s lassies!

I almost expected Jazzer to take them home for a cuddle after their “nasty experience”.

But I shouldn’t make fun. It’s always good to be reminded that most livestock handlers actually do give a hoot about their animals.


You can always depend on Ian

Regardless of what anyone thinks about Helen’s pregnancy, thank goodness that she has Ian for genuine support.

“That’s the best news ever”

And he meant it.

It was also nice to hear someone reacting to Helen’s news as they should when told that someone is pregnant. Refreshing stuff.

But, just when you thought it was all nice and normal – Helen comes out with:

“I’ll love it – look after it – and be in its life forever”

Oh dear.

Maybe this is what Helen was “meant to do” with her life, but it still feels quite eerie to hear an expectant mum put so much weight on her as-yet-to-be-born child’s shoulders.

We all know what happens when a parent is too demanding and needy with their kid. Just how many serial killers started off being emotionally smothered?


“Do you think I cannae read either?!?”

Oh Jazzer. You’re being a right sod.

Physically putting yourself on the sofa between Harry and Fallon (which is what I imagine will happen) isn’t going to stop anything happening, if that’s what they want.

And getting agro over Harry having “his hands” on the flat pack won’t do your any favours.

Though Fallon’s reasons for you not watching the DVD were a bit poor, can ye no take a hint?

Still. Classic Jazzer moment:

“Is that the way he spends his evenings? Wood work?”
