23rd June 2010

Alice sells more strawberries than Brian … Very groovy ‘topical insert’ about the World Cup … Kathy, Jamie and Fallon arrive home … Jude might go away

  • Defoe scored, Rooney hit the post
  • Kenton remains oblivious
  • Now don’t tease us. We’ll all put in a fiver for Jude to go travelling



Defoe scored, Rooney hit the post

I will fully admit that I was utterly delighted about the football chat tonight.

That was a very groovy moment, worthy of much Twittering.

Jolly good show, folks.


Kenton remains oblivious


Just when is the penny going to drop?

Kenton didn’t get it when they first found out when Sid had died

Still didn’t get it when he chose to put Jaxx above going to New Zealand with Kathy and Jamie

Give them a lift to the airport? Nope, Kenton didn’t work that one out

Call them on the day of Sid’s funeral? Don’t be daft, they should have been calling him about the re-opening of Jaxx

Be appropriate/tender/supportive (and on) when collecting them from the airport? Mais non – still didn’t get it.

And when Kathy made slight digs about the lack of people at the funeral and the lack of support she had – did Kenton even notice?

Did he Jaxx!!!

Jamie’s obviously in pieces after an “awful funeral”, and all Kenton can think to bang on about is the traffic and the football.

I know – that might just be his way, and he did sound nervous – but surely enough’s enough?

How come he doesn’t have a clue about his step-son’s life (forgetting that Jamie watched the football with Sid at The Bull), and can he not actually hear Kathy when she was talking?

And adding insult to injury, he then heads off to Jaxx when Kathy and Jamie have gone to bed.

You know what. I can accept that some folks just can’t cope with grief but, as I’ve said before, can Kenton not even muster enough empathy to realise that Kathy and Jamie just need him to be there?


Now don’t tease us. We’ll all put in a fiver for Jude to go travelling

There’s a surprise. Jude’s Head of Department doesn’t like him.

Chris also seemed to find Jude a bit of a dud:

“It’s like talking to a depressed undertaker”

I think Jude has missed the point about College. It’s a choice and a privilege, quite unlike a prison.

Can’t say I’m surprised to hear he’s going to quit. Isn’t that what weak-minded control freaks like him do when they don’t get their way?

But thrice hurrah! His plan is to go travelling. For a year. Which means that Pip couldn’t go with him, and she’d be bound to find a better young chap while he’s away.

Or, will she chuck her College in as well and head off with him? Would she manage to even make it past Borchester without David shooting the tyres off of Jude’s car???

Mind you, had to *snort* over Jude’s idea of ‘real travelling’. Seemingly Europe is too small minded, but it’s real in Australia.

Idiot.

Can I just say, I am hoping Juuuude will accidentally fall off a cliff soon. Literally cannot stand to hear him whining any longer, and am still convinced he's in his 40s.
