Alice wakes up in Chas’ bed
[Chas] “You know for a size 10, you take up an awful lot of room in the bed”
But not to worry too much – Chas left Alice’s clothes on.
(someone needs to tell Alice that you ‘don’t have to take your, clothes off, to have a good time, oh no’ … Jermaine Stewart, ’88)
Binge drinking and boxers
So the moral of the tale is that one should not binge drink. Especially when it causes one to blank out.
Alice can’t remember leaving the club, but it sounds like Chas didn’t take advantage. Though I still think sleeping next to a comatose woman is a bit creepy.
Even creepier was when Chas popped out of his boxers in front of Alice.
He wasn’t even embarrassed. He just told Alice that she shouldn’t be looking.
Not too sure if I like, or trust, this chap.
[Chas to Alice] “Trust me, you’ve done nothing wrong”
Hmmm.
Pip fancies Spencer
Pip pops up in Ambridge Extra.
She chats to some bloke called Steve, who has a brother called Spencer, who Pip was asking after.
Steve didn’t seem to like that.
Steve fancies Pip, but Pip fancies Spencer.
(as I type that, I can be rather honest and say that I really couldn’t care!).
Anyhoo, Pip seems to have good hair these days, according to Steve.
(*sigh*)
Jamie is just weak
Turns out Steve is a mate of Jamie’s.
And he helped me to understand that Jamie really isn’t all that bad – he’s just very (very) weak willed.
It only takes a very slight application of pressure, and the mention of a video game (road racer – is that real?), to get Jamie to bunk off school.
Then Marty and Steve manage to make him go try and buy alcohol. Which really took no effort at all.
Bad tempered and weak. Oh dear.
Chris wasn’t really bothered
What was Chris going on about?
He’d tried to phone Alice 5 times, and seemed quite out-out that he’d seen a video on Facebook, of Alice behaving rather drunkenly with “some bloke” last night.
But he actually really wasn’t that put out. He let it drop just as quickly.
Odd.
Is Chris starting to not care too much about what Alice gets up to? Has he been up to his own shenanigans?
All studying, farming and no play makes Pip a …
… rather serious young woman.
Which is fine. Anything but ‘Pip in love’.
But I might be speaking too soon. As Pip is chatting to Kirsty in Jaxx (where’s she’s having a coffee over her study books … very serious young lady indeed), she agrees to do the forthcoming fun run.
The very next thing Pip does is to call Spencer to see if he wants to do it as well.
Ho hum. He can’t be any worse than Jude … surely???
We’d expect it of Jamie, but not Daniel
After being pressured to go and try some booze (at least he hasn’t stolen from The Bull … yet), Jamie’s showing his dim side.
He takes up the cider, air freshener and some mints to the counter, but hasn’t got any ID.
At first the shop lady is quite nice about refusing him, but he pushes his luck by begging. Then claiming that he was 18, as he’d been born July 1993.
Thick, thick, thick …
The shop lady is just about to call for the manager, when Daniel shows up and saves Jamie by saying that their mum was ready to go.
Outside, Daniel tells Jamie that he knows where he can buy booze – and then manages to do just that. His trick was to have his mum’s car keys in his hand (and probably didn’t come across as a complete idiot).
Jamie is a year older than Daniel, but you’d have though Daniel was at least 10 years the senior.
Daniel turns down Jamie’s offer for him to hang out with him and his mates, but maybe this is the start of Jamie and Daniel being mates again.
After all – as Daniel has proved – he’s not a complete choir boy.
By-the-by – did Jamie walk out with those mints without paying?
So – was it better second time round?
Not really.
I found myself being not too bothered about anything happening, and was soooooo relieved to hear the proper Barwick Green when I flipped over to the proper Archers.
I reckon someone, somewhere, has to admit that this extra Archers is one foe the kids.
Which is fine. For the kids.
Will I stop listening considering I don’t think it’s up to much?
Course not.
That’s the nature of addiction .. .you just can’t stop!
