Ambridge Extra Tuesday 18th October 2011: Clive tells Matt what to do

(not sure who I should be worried for!)

  • Daniel has his priorities right
  • Daniel’s a bit creepy …
  • Roman Gods, not aeroplanes (actually)
  • Now you have a job, now you don’t
  • Matt and Lilian are a perfect match



Daniel has his priorities right

Reckons Lilian - riding first, homework second.

(but Daniel did point out that it was actually homework then riding then homework. He’s a crazy kind a guy!)


Daniel’s a bit creepy …

… in my humble opinion.

We seem to be privy to nearly every thought that boy has going on in his head – and it’s all about Erin (though not the X rated stuff, than goodness)

Today – his collective internal ponderings went like this: god, stop mooning around … be cool … you’ll land her … 6 on a good day, that’s me … and that’s why it’s never going to happen …

He also told Erin that he was a counsellor with the Samaritans (though he did say to himself that it was a very
stupid thing to claim).

But – Erin seems to like Daniel (but I suppose she can’t hear him muttering away to himself like we can).

She finds him clever and funny.

[Daniel, on rugby chaps] “Neanderthal … homo-rugby-ans!”

[Erin, laughing rather too much] “You’re so clever Dan!”

(and as an aside – did we have to have Kings of Leon “Sex is on Fire” blasted so loud for a few moments? It wasn’t even that loud in the bowling alley Daniel and Erin were at)


Roman Gods, not aeroplanes (actually!)

So says Matt to Clive.

Matt was giving him directions to a job - Vulcan way off mercury avenue roman gods – and Clive mistakenly thought the streets were named after aeroplanes.

Matt put him right. But wasn’t very tactful in going so.


Now you have a job, now you don’t

Matt gave Clive three days’ work.

Then took it away again.

Clive had overhead Matt cutting corners, and made the mistake of giving his opinion about it.

Matt was not best pleased. After only one day of work, Matt tells Clive he isn’t needed after all.

Clive’s internal ponderings after: just to get rid of me … I got your number too mate … you jumped up little git!

Oops.

Really don’t know who I’d bet on if those two fall out.


Matt and Lilian are a perfect match

Here’s the exchange to prove it:

[Matt] “What’s for dinner?”

[Lilian] “I’ve no idea. I’m not long in myself”

[Matt] “Ah, there’ll be something in the freezer I expect”

[Lilian] “I expect so”

And that was that. Neither thought it was their job to start dinner, and neither expected the other to do so.

Quite surprised they haven’t got Brenda on the case, alongside making all the coffee.
