The “H Train”?
Kenton can be a bit bizarre with his lingo.
He’s at The Bull, talking with Fallon about Rhys and Harry canvassing for support for their bike race.
Harry is seemingly gaining ground, getting support from his milk round customers and Zofia is:
[Kenton] “Getting other pickers on board the H Train!”
You what?
If it hadn’t been Kenton that said it (Kenton can be a bit odd when he tries to be ‘modern’), I’d have thought Ambridge Extra had started to also ruin Ambridge’s adults’ ability to speak proper … innit.
Zofia is Harry’s girlfriend
Blimey – that was fast!
Boyfriend in a Coma
Chris has seemingly been ignoring Alice’s calls.
When he does answer, he’s far from receptive to her.
[Chris] “You’ve made your choice. If you want to stay down in Southampton with your boyfriend, that’s your choice”
[Alice] “Chas isn’t my boyfriend, he never has been”
[Chris] “Whatever, looks like he’s more important to you than I am, Alice”
[Alice] “He’s unconscious in a hospital bed!”
[Chris] “Exactly, so why have you got to hang around down there. He doesn’t know any different, does he?”
Alice reckons she’s only still there because she feels guilty (she told Lesley Chas lived there), and, of course, Chas is a friend … but I’m also starting to wonder …
[Chris] “Chas being beaten up has got nothing to do with you. It was because he was ripping people off”
[Alice] “He’s a nice guy .. he got out of his depth … he meant well, he just misjudged the situation”
[Chris] “I can’t believe you’re trying to defend him!”
Quite right, Chris. Chas shouldn’t be defended. But Alice has no common sense when it comes to Chas.
Jazzer signs for Team Rhys
[Kenton] “Jazzer may be a milkman by trade, but at heart he’ll always be a beer man”
Nothing to do with Harry winning the fair Zofia, then, eh?
Yes Steve, turn it down!
(I’m still not coping well with the blasts of popular music in Ambridge Extra. It does so startle one)
Jamie and Natalie are in Steve’s car, with Steve (obviously) and Marty, heading to a gig in Borchester.
Natalie gives Steve a row for having his music up so loud, to which Steve replies:
[Steve] “Better keep your chick in order”
Hmpf. What a prat.
Steve then makes to park in Jaxx’s car park, which Jamie points out is only for staff.
Course, Steve doesn’t care that Jamie would want to avoid Jaxx (or any hassle there) because of Kenton.
Course not. Because he’s a prat.
Even for emergencies, don’t give your passwords
Now this is why Chris and Alice got married too young.
They’re not mature enough to know that you never, ever, give your partner your logins to your emails … mobile phone code (to see texts) … Facebook profile (as they’ll only sign you up for Farmville … very annoying … so my significant other tells me).
Chris is now in Southampton (he either travelled faster than the speed of light, or we’ve jumped another day, time, planet as it’s Ambridge Extra), absolutely fuming about the emails he’s seen between Alice and Chas.
He’s found the itinerary to Paris, for starters.
[Chris] “You lying, cheating … you were running away together, the only thing that stopped you was Chas getting attacked”
Alice tries to explain that all of that wasn’t real- it was Chas’ fantasy.
But, Chris has also found (what looks like) flirty banter between them. If you go looking for it, you will find it.
Right in the middle of the argument – quell surprise – Chas has woken up (his mum calls Alice).
Alice’s next step?
To tell Chris he has to go with her to the hospital so that Chas can tell him what really happened.
Come on, Alice. Are you an Aldridge or not?
Of course Chas is going to say something did happen. Even though it didn’t.
He wants you and Chris spilt up, so that you will realise you love him.
And, because he’s an ar*e.
Steal batteries with your “homies”, or walk your girlfriend home?
Not a difficult choice.
And glad to report that Jamie finally made the right one.
Steve was still behaving like a prat, claiming he wanted to sort out some bloke who wasn’t amused when Natalie spilt his drink:
[Steve] “I was well up for a rut, me and my soldiers .. .you wouldn’t understand, love”
(grrrr)
Then his car won’t start. Marty points out it was because he left his fog light on, but Steve won’t accept that.
He then has a ponder. They’d already spotted Kenton’s car in the car park, so the obvious solution is to steal Kenton’s battery.
Eh?
Luckily, Jamie seems to have finally seen sense, and chooses to walk Natalie home (after she refuses to have anything to do with Steve’s antics):
[Steve] “You wuss … bailing on his homies”
S’aright Jamie. Steve is a prat.
After Jamie has walked Natalie home, he tells her how much he’ll miss her (she’s away for a wee break to a caravan).
In return, Natalie gives him an ultimatum:
[Natalie] “I really like you, but … I’m sorry, but I can’t be with you if you’re hanging out with Marty and Steve … they’re idiots, and they’ll get you into trouble”
[Jamie] “I left them tonight … if it’s a choice between them or you, I choose you”
On the one hand – hurrah!
But on the other – is Natalie a bit of a bunny boiler?

How did Alice get a 2:1 when she is apparently as thick as a plank, and how do we hear from Susan and Jennifer both and neither manage to mention that there's any problem? You'd think Chris would have mentioned something to his mother at least. Understandably, Jennifer has other things to worry about at the moment.
Seriously, would you tell Susan anything.??
Scott F - quite! Alice has gone especially stupid during Ambridge Extra.
But you know what Chris can be like - the strong, silent, manly type. He won't want the auld yins to know, i reckon.
@gawnee is right - tell Susan, tell the world!
