Usha, why so thick?
Usha still doesn’t get the point of the rather odd book club meeting last night.
Which I don’t get. As she’s normally so astute.
[Usha] “ … the Book club was not relaxing … Jim was on good form, but Jennifer seemed a bit on edge”
Usha, stuck in the middle?
Usha’s at Brookfield ahead of the rest of her and Ruth’s clan gathering to celebrate her and Ruth’s birthdays.
Usha didn’t realise it at first, but Ruth is very much on edge – and her being there lets’; Ruth finally let it all out.
I’ll paraphrase (as we have been here many times before) – David’s upset that Elizabeth taking them off the will means that this argument is “for life” – it’s having a huge impact on David – and Ruth wants to go and have it out with Elizabeth.
Usha is in a slightly awkward position. She’s friends with both Elizabeth and Ruth – though I would say slightly more so with Ruth.
Ruth begs Usha’s advice.
Usha thinks Ruth has a right to have her say to Elizabeth, despite what David thinks. As Usha puts it, it’s also Ruth that’s been taken out of the will.
Usha’s only slight amendment is that Ruth should write Elizabeth a letter. Although Ruth baulks at the idea of another letter, Usha has the good point that a letter would allow Ruth time to put her ideas together, and to present them calmly to Elizabeth.
[Usha] “You’re dealing with someone who is pretty unstable now”
How very civilised. Not an email. Not a text. Not even a phone call.
Good to see letters having a use. Albeit in quite a tricky situation.
Thursday night is party night in Borchester
Hurrah!
The Pickers outing is to Jaxx. And Kenton is on sparkling form. In his own way.
Adam’s chaperoning the pickers. He even isn’t drinking.
But that’s more to do with a seemingly heavy night last night, celebrating his birthday.
Adam looking for young blood …
Cripes – amazing that he isn’t actually Brian’s son!
But it’s okay. We don’t have to worry about Ian.
Adam just wants new blood for the cricket team. He made the distinction about ‘young’ when Kenton offered his services.
Mikhail has insulted Cracovia
Which, I’ve learned tonight, is a football team.
(I support Queen of the South, who sit slightly uncomfortably in the Scottish First Division. If the team doesn’t struggle to buy its own oranges, I have no ken).
It’s a bad enough insult for Adam to have to leave Kenton (still at Jaxx) to go and sort it out.
Which is lucky. As Kenton now spouts a load of passive-homophobic rubbish …
I’m actually quite angry about this
Zofia is chatting to Kenton. She mentions how she thinks Adam is really nice, and that it’s also really nice that he lets his friends, Jazzer and Harry, come along on the pickers outings.
[Zofia] “Sure, they are special friends of Adam and Ian, no … I thought .. .they are always together, they live together, they ask Adam and Ian to dinner … they argue like an old married couple”
[Kenton] “No, no. Quite the opposite”
So – we have established that Zofia thinks Jazzer and Harry are a couple. She is therefore quite stupid. How could she have not noticed either of their advances?
Kenton then breaks the news to Jazzer.
[Kenton] “Sorry Jazzer, I know you fancy your chances but you’ve got no hope there … she thinks you’re on the other bus mate … dancing up the wrong end of the ballroom …”
What?
Seriously, what was Kenton saying?
Why on earth did he have to use code for saying that Zofia thought Jazzer and Harry are gay?
Surely there’s no need, now that it’s possible to be gay without having to use stupid phrases to avoid actually using the word gay.
Grrrr.
Bad boy Kenton. I thought you were better than that.
At least Harry leaves happy
Now that (thicko) Zofia knows neither Jazzer nor Harry is gay, she chooses her man.
It’s Harry.
She asks him to leave with her.
So well done Harry.
But I actually have little enthusiasm. All of this farce can felt more like Ambridge Extra that Ambridge real.
Shame.
