“Jonti, the disappearing IT wizard”
So says Lilian.
It would seem Jonti came, created lots of noise, then left.
[Lilian] “Left me with a rubber cheque … this smells like a moonlight flit … undernourished, geeker glasses not too fussy about his personal hygiene …”
[Fallon] “Oh, with the dog you mean?”
[Lilian] “And the motorbike”
[Fallon] “Not very popular with the neighbours, is he?”
Seems even Bert Horrobin didn’t have a good word to say to him (I didn’t know Bert Horrobin was even still alive …).
Not only has Jonti bumped Lilian, but he’s also not paid his milk bill.
Terrible.
[Lilian] “The place looks like it’s been camped in by a bunch of Hells Angels …”
(actually – Hells Angels are quite peaceable chaps these days)
Harry seemed shocked at the thought of oil on the carpet, but Lilian is already trying to move on. She has Jonti’s deposit, is going to get it professionally cleaned, and will look for a new tenant. Though:
[Lilian] “The next one is going to need references from the Bishop of Felpersham”
Jack looking for Captain
Peggy and Lilian arrive to find Jack outside on his own, looking for his dog.
Jack realises that Captain isn’t there. So goes off to find him. Can’t find him. Gets anxious and upset. He’s told that Captain died years ago. He gets upset again. Then forgets what he’s just been told.
Difficult, for everyone.
But at least Peggy has Elona, who even makes her tea when she’s on her break.
Jamie feels like Borchester’s most wanted
[Jamie] “Mrs Noakes crosses the road … getting a few funny looks”
Everyone knows about the car stealing and crash – Jamie feels marked even though he wasn’t really involved.
He tells Fallon that he’s heard from Marty – but hasn’t heard from Steve.
[Jamie] “That suits me fine … never again. I always knew he was an idiot”
[Fallon] “Live and learn, eh?”
Would seem so.
It should have been me …
… is probably a song ( by Yvonne Fair) that Fallon should be singing right now
Spotting Harry coming along the road:
[Lilian, to Fallon] “His new totty, darling … quite a little bombshell, isn’t she, do you think she can handle her (chortle). Such a sweet boy, I’d hate to see him get his fingers burnt (chortle) if you see what you mean (chortle)”
(goodness, I love a good Lilian guffaw!)
I didn’t quite see what Lilian meant, and Fallon also didn’t seem too impressed.
Hmmm.
Harry then asks if he can ask Fallon for some personal advice:
[Harry] “Can I have the benefit of your worldly wisdom, for a minute … it is a little bit delicate …”
He asks her where he should take Zofia out for a nice meal. He reckons Fallon is the “gourmet queen”. (really?)
Fallon does tell him where to go (in a nice way – she gives him the advice he seeks), but she sounds a bit reticent. A bit sad. A wee bit upset.
Hmmmm indeed.
Who will be gifted Jill’s brooch?
I am still on about the ‘brooch of doom’ (Nigel gave Elizabeth a brooch just before he died).
Seems Peggy and Jill were enamelling at ted’s again. Jill has made a brooch (doom!), and Peggy is thinking about making a tie pin for Jack’s birthday next week.
Elona said something a bit odd:
[Elona] “You musn’t let Jill do better than you”
Suppose Peggy is talking to Elona is a far more intimate way that one would suppose.
