Chas really is a prat
[Chas] “It’s a post-feminist polemic portraying transgressive female solidarity in the face of reactionary male hegemony”
[Alice] “Looks like Lady Gaga to me”
I know he was joking, but he just isn’t funny. Or clever. Or a decent human being …
Later on, when Alice’s talking about all of the farewell parties she’s going to over the next few weeks (as exams are over and she’s leaving Uni), Chas’ diary didn’t seem to be that full.
Nae mates Chas!
And to top it all off, he later (while a bit drunk and maudlin) tries to tell Alice how much he’s going to miss living with her. I suspect, he really wanted to say that he’s in love with her.
[Chas] “Out of all the people I’ve met … you’re special, the best …”
All he gets is:
[Alice] “Aw, you big softie’”
[Chas] “You’ll have forgotten my name soon”
Here’s hoping!
Nic’s cunning plan
Nic has to come up with a reason why Fallon should go to Lakey Hill. Rhys and Kirsty are trying to make up for their previous prank (pretending they were getting engaged) by playing the rather nicer prank of a surprise ‘glamping’ party for Fallon.
Still not sure why Rhys is so adamant that Nic is the woman for the job. Especially as she’s really struggled to come up with an idea for how she’ll get Fallon up the Hill without spoiling the surprise.
So what’s Nic’s plan?
To say that she’s taking part in a sponsored work for the school.
So, she needs to train. And asks Fallon to go one of her walks with her.
Fine enough idea. Except, Nic reckons her sponsored walk is 20 miles …
20 miles!
Nic didn’t think that one through, and I reckon Fallon will twig something is awry very shortly.
“Sunny with the occasional scattered showers”
Is how Rhys is feeling today.
[Rhys] “As incompatible as chips and custard”
Is what he reckons he and Kirsty are.
Seriously, Jazzer should watch his step. He may lose his ‘wit of Ambridge’ crown.
Chas is threatened. Hurrah!
[Lesley] “You piece of crap. You need to learn some manners mate … who the hell do you think you are?”
[Chas] “I accept, on reflection, that I may have been a little excessive …”
[Lesley] “Shut up … that debt is written off, paid in full. You stay away from Reggie and forget about the money., Understand! … and here’s one more thing. I won’t forget you. If I ever come across you again, you’ll know it … you better watch your step, posh boy”
All of which puts Chas right off his lunch.
Serves Chas right. He’s a wee lad trying to play a big man’s game. It’s taking a proper big man to put him back in his place. Course, none of this would have happened if Chas hadn’t been taking advantage of desperate people in the first place.
When Chas is later out and about, Lesley spots him on the street – forcing Chas to run away like the wee laddie he is.
Spud’s party
Jamie’s exams are also over, so he’s at Steve’s party, just about to have a dance with Natalie.
[Steve] “Nah mate, you don’t want to do that”
Course he doesn’t. Watching Spud chug a beer is far better than dancing with a girl.
True to form, Jamie ends up ignoring and being rude to Natalie, so that he can get drunk with (and impress) his moronic mates.
[Natalie] “Grow up Jamie, for god sake!”
Natalie storms off. Jamie gets drunker still. Eventually ends up in such a state that he can’t be persuaded to leave the party once it’s well and truly over. Steve wants to just leave him slumped where he is. Steve does leave, but Marty stays with Jamie.
Nice work Jamie.
You’ll likely be single again, but at least you know Marty isn’t a totally useless mate.
