The Archers Fri 22nd Oct 2010: Jazzer, Harry and a bag of chips

The Archers: The Odd Couple … Jamie’s avoiding Kenton … the Peregrine plot thickens … Peggy has yet another computer lesson

  • “You binned my chips!”
  • “Just a little white lie to keep things simple”
  • Vampire night at The Bull
  • It was only Fallon
  • The Peregrines led to Clash of the Titans
  • Peggy’s determined to find her GI



“You binned my chips!”

Well, we never really expected Harry and Jazzer to share a flat without Jazzer being a bit disgusting, and Harry fruitlessly trying to encourage him to better ways.

Harry has got another day of being a thoroughly nice, helpful chap.

Whereas Jazzer is looking for his chips from last night. He was going to have them for his lunch chip butty.

Harry shouldn’t have just dumped the chips. And his offer of

“Apple … muesli … dried apricots”

Was hardly acceptable for our Jazzer.

“I’m no a gerbil – I need some real grub!”

Then shock and horror! Harry’s racing bike mug is missing.

As are numerous other mugs.

Two blokes. One small flat. One a slob, the other a bit of a maiden aunt when it comes to cleanliness.

Better get more mugs.


“Just a little white lie to keep things simple”


Kenton’s feeling hard done by.

Jamie won’t return his calls or texts, and it’s all the fault of that Holly.

“I can’t believe she’d do that! Prances over … starts snogging me like there’s no tomorrow. Holly’s a lovely girl in many ways, and in other circumstances …”

Despite Kirsty being right that Kenton is allowed to see other people, it’s not Kenton just seeing other people that Jamie has a problem with.

Kenton lied to Jamie when he said that Holly was just a friend.

Kenton lied to Holly that he and Kathy was well and truly over.

And now Kenton’s lying to himself in trying to lay the blame at any door other than his own.

As he himself later admitted:

“To be fair, Holly didn’t know the whole story”

And stop the press!

“It’s all my fault”

“I should’ve had more sense … more willpower … I should’ve thought about what it would do to Jamie”

“I had a real chance to help him – now I’ve just blown it”

Yet again, Kenton.

You’re blown it yet again.


Vampire night at The Bull

Harry to Fallon:

“You’d look great as Kristen Stewart”

Didn’t Fallon sound delighted to get such a compliment from Harry!

The lady does indeed like. She likes very much!

Seemingly Kathy’s also doing a vampire menu. Which you can bring your own teeth to (tee-hee!).


It was only Fallon

Jazzer had asked Harry if it was alright for him to have a friend back.

But it turned out to only be Fallon.

Obviously keen to keep Fallon to himself, Jazzer tries to keep her in his teeny wee box bedroom.

[Jazzer] “Just about room for two if we hold our breaths”

[Fallon] “What’s that smell – is it pigs?”

Jazzer’s tiny room is now seemingly set off with dirty clothes, dirty plates (and mugs!) and general muck and mire.

The muck extends to a few choice pictures of scantily clad women:

“Harry prefers blokes in lyrca but me, I’m more conventional”

Both Harry and Jazzer seem to think that they’ll be fine living together. It’ll just be a case of getting used to each other’s routines.

Hmmmm.


The Peregrines have led to the Clash of the Titans


Peggy is against the Peregrines:

“I don’t want to see half eaten songbirds”

But, Harry:

“I suppose falcon wise, I’m a bit of a fence sitter”

Which Peggy thinks is probably a safe place to be, considering Brian and Lynda will be speaking on opposing sides at a meeting to discuss the whole issue.


Peggy’s determined to find her GI


At yet another computer learning session with Harry, Peggy us yet again on about trying to find her long lost GI.

“We danced the jitterbug and won a prize … I was very young and naive”

Oo-er! Just how naive were you Peggy?

I’m in two minds about all this GI business.

It’ll be lovely for Peggy to meet up with an old friend.

But won’t he be disappointed yet again if he wants more, only to find she’s again married?

And what about Jack?
