“Does anyone have as much front as Sabrina?”
I reckon the men of Ambridge would be hard pushed to think of anyone else to beat Sabrina.
Nic and Clarrie bumped into Sabrina in a charity shop, while she was on her mobile feigning that she was in Underwoods Designer department.
Surely all good ladies nowadays have no shame in supporting their local charity, while picking up a bargain.
Don’t the rich become rich by being canny?
Belly strapping a cow
Ruth and Pip sure know how to bond.
They just belly strap a cow. Even though the poor cow just seemingly lifted her foot.
Taking her chance to corner Pip about her College considerations, Ruth seems to be pushing Pip to make decisions.
But it doesn’t look like Pip is in any rush. She has a cow to tend to, course work to finish and a ball to organise (there’s only 4 tickets left. Best rush before you have to resort to EBay).
Harry “hasn’t got the measure of Jazzer”
Utterly obsessed with making sure Lynda gets her full panto cast, Harry is still trying to persuade Jazzer to be Idle Jack.
But he has a cunning plan.
Instead of Idle Jack – Harry comes up with changing the character to
“Idle Jock … a comic Scotsman”
*sigh*
Harry thought that would be more “appealing” for Jazzer, but it isn’t just Jazzer than he doesn’t understand – it’s surely the entire race of Scots that he seems to lack an understanding of.
Jazzer expressed his lack of support for Harry’s idea
[Tom] “Never heard such fluent or imaginative swearing … sure half the words weren’t real, even in Glasgow”
Poor show Mr Mason.
Does Nic even believe herself?
Buying a nice sequin dress for the Young Farmers Association dinner dance, Nic’s also pondering trying to get Will to buy a new tie.
Seemingly his current favourite looks like a “comfort blanket” (tatty as well as well adored).
Nic and Clarrie then have a chat about the fact that both Nic/Will, and Ed/Emma, will be at the aforementioned dance.
If you ask me, both Clarrie and Nic at times seemed to be talking about completely different blokes.
[Clarrie]” Both of them thinking the other one is trying to get one up – and they’re not”
(oh yes they very much are – it’s currently – who can block a road for the longest, and who can rev their car engine the loudest!)
[Nic] “Will is prickly about the baby … that’s because of the way he found out”
(nope – it’s because he loathes Emma and Ed. And won’t Will be thinking that, if Ed and Emma weren’t so evil, the baby would have been his?)
[Nic] “He’ll be fine about … I won’t give him a choice”
(actually – Nic might just be able to make that happen. She’s already proven she didn’t take Will’s jealously lying down …)
[Nic] “He’ll be alright, you know, about Emma and Ed’s baby”
[Clarrie] “I hope so”
[Nic] “I think hearing about the baby touched an old nerve – perhaps he is still a bit raw – but he’ll come round”
[Clarrie] “Hmmm”
[Nic] “And there’s no real reason for him to be bothered, is there?”
[Clarrie] “No logical reason, no …You’re quite right Nic – babies is the best news a family can have”
Nic’s right that Will has “no real reason” to be so aggravated by Ed and Emma having a baby – but Clarrie’s spot on that it’s no actually a real reason anyway.
Will isn’t a bit raw – he’s positively fuming!
As I said before, this dance could be closer to an enactment of the prom in Carrie …
Eddie – take Clarrie out!
I’ve said this many times before, but Clarrie really does deserve some pampering. After all, amongst the many jobs, housework, sorting out Joe and Eddie’s scams AND cutting Joe’s toenails (the image of which still gives me nightmares), Clarrie really doesn’t get any ‘me’ time.
As she’s shopping with Nic, she spots a pashmina she really likes, but won’t but because:
“Eddie don’t take me to any posh dos”
As Clarrie nips off to the toilet (so that she can go “straight up to the turkeys when I get back”- does she never stop???), it looks like Nic bought it for her.
So Eddie – if Clarrie does have that pashmina, you can at least buy the lady dinner so that she can wear it.
And that’s an order!
Fully condensing heat recovery unit
Blimey – that Tom knows how to be interesting and sexy at the same time (!!!).
Tom’s gone off the idea of a pre-cooler, and now wants to buy a fully condensing heat recovery unit.
Much to Tony's consternation.
Tom does have to be applauded for his efforts to save ‘front end’ costs by saving on electricity, but he really doesn’t try to involve Tony. He just tells him what’s what.
And Tony’s right that Tom has a cheek wanting to buy new equipment when he gave Tony such had a hard time over tony buying mower conditioner.
But seemingly that’s not the same. Tom’s efforts are like making you don’t leave the light on in a room that isn’t being used there and then, rather than replacing equipment which just does the farm work.
Pat also backs Tom, as both a cost saving and a good moral stance (to reduce footprint).
I can’t help thinking that if everyone listened to Tony (rather than assuming he’s talking bollocks), and if they all sat down to look at ways to save costs as well as maintain their working equipment – wouldn’t they have a more productive farm anyway?
Taking it to extremes
Helen has now been spotted by Lynda at Grey Gables, this time at the crack of dawn waiting for the pool to open.
She’s seemingly swimming first thins and last thing every day.
As Tony pointed out, at least Helen does eat properly when she exercises, but surely she’s just burning off those calories.
This does not bode well at all.
“What have I done to offend you all?”
So after Pat and Tom ganging up on him about the farm, Tony also has to deal with Kathy coming over for dinner (again), and talk of Helen exercising too much.
Pat made him take his boots off, demanded he change his jeans and then also his top (all because of their dinner guest).
[Tony] “Once in a while is fine – she can be good company when she wants to be – but it’s impossible to relax properly when she’s here”
Maybe Tony should have made a point by taking his work jeans off to sit around in his pants. That’d put Kathy off!
[Tony] “What have I done to offend you all? Can’t even keep my comfortable clothes on – are you lot ever going to give me a moment’s peace?”
Doesn’t seem like it, Tony.
I think your problem is that you have a very headstrong family who don’t seem to think you know what you’re talking about. It also doesn’t help that you’re not exactly the best listener in the world.
