“The Mother flaming Theresa Botham”
Hmmm. Nope. That one doesn’t work, Jazzer.
So the vicar fixed the Sticky Wicket for Harry. Not a likely one either Jazzer.
I am getting a tad irritated with Jazzer. You now know exactly what to expect when he opens his mouth. If it isn’t a rant about Harry, it isn’t Jazzer speaking.
How long can we expect this to go on for? Isn’t there a point when Harry just walks up to Jazzer and gives him a jolly good tap on the chin?
“Her imaginary love life is none of your business”
Quite right too Tom.
But is ‘Harry and Fallon’ always just going to be in Jazzer’s imagination?
Being gay makes you tidy and a good cook
So all’s well with Brenda sharing a flat with a bloke because he’s gay.
Did I miss Tom slipping back a few decades to pick up his archaic attitudes towards relationships?
Does he not realise that while Brenda’s flatmate isn’t a ‘threat’, there are other men in the city? And, that Brenda might actually leave the flat and go out of an evening?
I’ll forgive Tom nearly being a complete arse about being gay – but he really has to stop this nonsense over not trusting Brenda.
Or, is he just picking up on vibes that Brenda’s sending out? Remember the time she went on a girly razzle minus engagement ring???
“You gave me quite enough help last night”
*snort*
Course, it was just Harry helping Fallon out in the Bull.
So far.
The Ragged Trouser Philanthropists
Nice mention of The Ragged Trouser Philanthropists by Robert Tressell (especially timely as I’d just finished reading it the other week!).
And love that all Lilian got from it was the often below par quality of Edwardian building.
You simply could expect our Lilian to take the abject poverty on board.
Oh no. Where Jennifer saw socialism, Lilian saw bad workmanship. Marvellous.

"Remember the time she went on a girly razzle minus engagement ring???"
i still don't feel entirely right about that. at this point i can't remember how she explained it away, but if i were tom i would not have let it go so easily.
I think Brenda managed to turn it round on Tom - making him feel a bit daft for harping on about it. From what I remember, she'd taken it off for some reason then forgot to put it on again.
I must admit that Tom is one of the very few characters I loathe, so would be delighted to see Brenda avoid getting married to them (although she does often deserve him).
Still, what can you expect of an engagement which came fast on the heels of a break-up.
i'm not very fond of Tom either, given how cruel he was to Brenda after the whole Matt/Chalky incident last year. how else has he earned your loathing???
Yes - he was an utter rotter to Brenda after she'd tried to help (without getting kneecapped!).
He hasn't actually done that much to earn my loathing - it's more just a drip, drip, drip of pomposity and sheer disregard for anyone but himself.
He's a rubbish mate (taking the mick, and telling everyone else about, Jazzer's liking for Fallon); a terrible brother (most recently over Helen's pregnancy); a leech of a grandson (taking Jill's money rather than listen to Brian about how to run a business) ...
I think it's just his Tom's Sausages attitude to life - if it's not Tom's Sausages, it's not worth it ...
