Do young people get hangovers that bad?
Jamie’s seems to have lasted two days.
When I was a younger ‘un I could drink myself stupid and still function the morning after. Not the case now, I’m afraid.
Natalie gives Jamie a second chance
Lucky boy.
He doesn’t seem to remember much about what he’d done at Spud’s party. He calls Natalie after she doesn’t answer his text.
She’s annoyed. He begs. And she agrees to meet with him.
[Jamie] “Oh, I was being a prat again., wasn’t I?”
Natalie concurs, but reckons it was more Steve’s fault for getting Jamie so drunk.
[Natalie] “If it was a mission to put me off you, they succeeded”
But – it’s not a permanent state of mind, and she forgives.
Lesley knows where Chas lives
Alice answers the door to Lesley. He’s looking to speak to Chas but he isn’t in. Lucky for Chas.
[Alice] “He didn’t look like a Lesley, but he was very polite”
(eh? Are blokes called Lesley generally impolite?)
Chas audibly falls apart when he hears that Lesley has been round.
Which made for very pleasant listening, indeed.
I generally see the good in people. But Chas. Definitely, not, Chas.
Mia's shoes fall apart … what?
Rhys and co. are getting everything ready for Fallon’s surprise Glamping party, when Fallon calls Nic.
Fallon’s got two passes to the gym, so suggests she and Nic can train there rather than go for a walk – with the added bonus of a sauna after.
[Nic] “Oh, flip!”
She later calls Fallon back to say that she was out on a walk with Mia and Jake (up Lakey Hill), when Mia’s shoes fell to bits. She can’t manage to get back on her own, so she needs Fallon’s help. It has to be Fallon, not anyone at Brookfield with a 4x4 (as Fallon pointed out – it’s Brookfield’s land).
Sorry – but did Nic say that Mia’s shoes had fallen apart?
Her shoes?
What?
How does that ever happen?
Either I have lived a life far less, or Fallon will believe absolutely anything!
Chas really is a looper
[Chas] “We have to get away”
Chas has lost the plot, and is trying to drag Alice down with him.
He explains what the problem is. That he lends money, and it’s blown up in his face.
[Alice] “Chas, you’re a loan Shark?!?”
[Chas] “But these people, they’re that rubbish … what do you expect with that sort of trash?”
He mentions that he’d lent money to Jackie (which then led to her running away), and that he charges high interest because these people are indeed just that rubbish.
Alice asks if has ever hurt anyone, he claims he’s just broken a few things.
[Chas] “I’m not safe here anymore. He’ll kill me, Alice”
[Alice] “Oh my god, Chas, you poor thing!”
(what’s that Alice? You are you, these days??? He’s just told you he has made money off of desperate people – he’s surely brought this on himself?)
So, Chas has decided that he and Alice will run away together. He’s already bought the Eurostar tickets to Paris.
[Chas] “Then we can be together, anywhere in Europe”
[Alice] “What do you mean we? Be together? Us?”
[Chas] “You must know I love you. And I know you feel the same. You love me, don’t you?”
[Alice] “ …as a friend”
[Chas] “No, that’s because you haven’t allowed yourself to see it for what it is. You’re trying to be loyal to Chris … but deep down inside, you know we’re made for each other, we’re soul mates Alice, just be honest with yourself. You can’t tell me you never dreamed about it”
[Alice] “No … of course I’ve thought , if things were different …”
So that’s that. Chas has heard that Alice wants to be with him, and will run away with him.
If Chas wasn’t such a looper, he’d have heard Alice being honest, but not that enthusiastic about him, or running away.
Later on, he’s at Eurostar waiting for Alice. But her phone is turned off.
He waits. And waits.
He even tries to stop the last train leaving for “his girlfriend”. When it leaves, he cries out a very loud (and embarrassing) “Noooooooooooooooooooo!”
Hah! Couldn’t have happened to a nicer chap.
Fallon’s fandango
Fallon does fall for Nic’s rather rubbish white lie, and goes up Lakey Hill.
And … SURPRISE!
All the grand are there in their finery – they even took a choice of finery for Fallon to choose from – and Rhys even has made Fallon her own ‘Fallon Fandango’ cocktail.
[Fallon] “Oh, you, lovely people”
Wales Vs England
[Rhys] “In Wales, we don’t let a little mountain get in our way … further proof of the inferiority of the English race”
Rhys was taking Harry to task for saying that it would have been near impossible for anyone to have cycled (with a trailer) all the gear up for the glamping party.
So looks like Harry and Rhys are going to have a race.
’ello Chas
After failing to reach Alice, after failing to catch his train to Paris, Chas returns home to his flat.
To find Lesley standing outside.
“ …‘ello Chas. I’ve been waiting for you …”
Oh-ho!
Now, I don’t want Chas badly hurt, but maybe just a bit of sense knocked into him wouldn’t go amiss.

Alice was probably thinking of Lesley Howard - very refined and polite.
Have missed last few episodes of Amex, and you've prompted me to catch up.

Hello Truffles Panda!
Catching up with Amex can be a joy and a right pain - still not convinced by it all, but a few giid eavesdropping moments.
And yes - that would make sense indeed.
Still worried where out 'usual' Alice has got to ...
