Do we think Will was polite?
Brian didn’t quite believe it, and neither do I.
Does anyone think Will told those dog walkers to keep their dogs on the lead in a polite manner?
Course not.
Cast your mind back to last year’s shoot, when Will was quite rude to a customer.
He’s not one to use subtlety, and I doubt he’s ever been on a customer care course.
I think Brian’s onto an utter loss trying to teach Will about ‘word of mouth’.
With Brian placing such a huge emphasis on the forthcoming shoot (bookings are down, so they need to impress those who do spend their money with them), I think Will is about to create huge problems for himself.
What a short fuse …
Helen cured Emma’s morning sickness
Or so Emma thinks Helen thinks she did (!).
Poor Emma is being plagued by a rather enthusiastic and very knowledgeable Helen.
Emma shouldn’t be surprised that Helen doesn’t register the fact that Emma has already had a child. She was just as quick to dismiss Kathy and Pat’s advice.
Still, Helen does have her uses. With that cream, I’m sure Emma will be delighted to have fewer stress marks.
I did feel sorry for Emma as she got lost amongst all of Helen’s rather rigid plans for how her baby is going to be born.
Helen has a birth plan, involving low lighting, music and a water birth. Helen isn’t going to have painkillers. She’s going to get a Tens Machine (which is seemingly a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator. So there!).
Hiring a tens machine
Emma is just going to give birth.
[Emma] “Mind you, it’s worth keeping your options open …’til you’ve been there, you don’t know how painful it’s going to be”
[Helen] “I a high pain threshold”
Helen really doesn’t want to hear that her giving birth isn’t going to be anything other than as she’s perfectly planned.
“It often goes different to what you’d expect”
Oh dear Emma. It’s probably best that you don’t burst Helen’s deeply considered and constructed bubble.
Young Farmer’s Ball: The Bloodbath
Emma bought tickets from Pip for her and Ed.
On checking Clarrie to see if she can babysit, she finds out that Will and Nic have already nabbed her to babysit for them.
Because they’re both also going to the Ball.
Booze plus Will and Ed in the same room.
Oh dear. Oh dearie, dearie me.
Helen won’t be going to The Ball.
Helen almost ‘guffawed’ when Emma asked her if she was going:
“No … not me!”
If Emma really knew Helen, she’d know that Helen’s perfect night is one spent in her flat, with wine (well, not now), chocolate (hmm, not now) and a DVD (that’s got to still be okay?!?).
The last time Helen had a proper night out was when she met Leon. Poor lass has been well and truly scared back into her flat.
At least pushing the baby’s buggy will get her out (though I still think a dog would have sufficed).
Lilian surveys her domain
Brian’s getting irritated with Lilian. And that’s even before they have their first board meeting.
Taking Lilian round the site for the mart, he’s annoyed she wants to stop to take pictures. Astounded she wants to use a Dictaphone. And a tad put out that she only wants the board on “neutral ground”.
Never mind Brian.
With Annabelle, Martin and Andrew also on the board, Lilian’s “darlings” are going to sound increasingly desperate.
“You pillock” …. “LOSER”
Ah. The Grundy boys are being as eloquent as ever.
This time, Will’s blocking the lane while he’s working. Ed needs to get by. Last time it was Ed blocking the lane. Will was trying to get by.
Will seems to have forgotten that he was an arse to Ed when his cows were on the road. And Ed has forgotten how furious he was with Will when he was being an arse when his cows were on the road.
[Will] “You pillock – I’ve got birds round here … I’m not going to stop what I’m doing cause of some idiot revving …have a bit of patience”
[Will, on Ed saying he was busy so had to get by] “Oh … well, inside I’m crying”
[Ed] “If you don’t move it, you will be crying!”
[Will] “Your cows make a right mess up here – clean up after them”
[Ed] “Are you feeling alright … LOSER!”
Ed than later said to Emma:
“It’s the expression it does … it gets me mad before he even opens his mouth”
Who was it said that blood is thicker than women?!?
“She means well”
And that’s the dichotomy that is our Ed Grundy.
He can generally find the good in folks, but absolutely not his own brother.
[Emma on Helen] “She really needs to chill out”
[Ed] “She means well”
[Emma] “I tried to tell her – but she’s got it all under control”
[Ed] “That baby won’t dare give her a hard time!”
And Ed also shows why Emma chose the right brother (in the end)
“The mother of my baby … you’d look gorgeous in an old feed sack”
Aw. Bless ya.
“I’m all in favour of cutting out the fags and drink … but .. well …”
Isn’t it fascinating when two extremes clash.
There’s Lilian managing to just about understand than an expectant mother shouldn’t smoke or drink (“there days”) – and in the other corner, it’s Helen doing step aerobics while pregnant.
Helen’s knee isn’t in great shape, due to a fall she took during one of her many exercise routines.
Lilian’s right to be a bit concerned.
There’s being fit and healthy, and there’s being obsessive.
But where else would we expect Helen to sit on that spectrum.
