Will and Emma agree!
Shock of the week!
Will doesn’t want George to see Clive again. Emma concurs.
Will is worried about the PlayStation. Emma agrees that she also didn’t want George to have one at his age, but at least can put Will’s mind at rest that it isn’t knocked off.
And – Will is worried about George’s obsession with playing burglar. As is Emma.
Well that’s at least one good thing to have come out of Clive’s return. Emma and Will talking without screaming, as well as agreeing on what’s best for George.
Doug Somerville’s assistant is supercilious
So says Tom.
It’s nearly audition time
Lynda’s putting her notices up and around about auditions for the Christmas around the World concert.
Though not everyone gets the concept:
[Susan] “I’ve never been away for Christmas!”
Now now Susan. You’ll have to come up with a better excuse than that to not take part.
I’m just (still) annoyed that it’s not a panto …
Anyhoo – Lynda is chasing after Emma to take part, though she’s actually mainly after Keira. She was the both of them to be a:
[Lynda] “Nativity tableau as the grand finale …All the nations could gather round the crib!”
[Susan] “Oh, isn’t that nice. Your first Christmas and you’ve got a starring role already”
Emma didn’t seem that keen. Funny. She normally scratches eyes out to be the centre of the attention. Think she’s worried about Keira upstaging her?
Don’t upset Hilary’s cockatoo!
Hilary Noakes has a petition on the go.
Tough action from ol’ Noakes. Hilary is against the bonfire being held on the village green (as it always is) because it’ll leave scorch marks (as it always does).
[Lynda] “I tried to reason with her but she kept coming up with more spurious objections … the noise upsets her cockatoo!”
[Susan] “Oh really … we change everything just for one person, or a cockatoo!”
Seems Hilary is claiming that all pet owners are upset about the noise – though Susan reckons they don’t complain about all the other fireworks parties, and they should also know by now to keep their pets inside.
Seems most folks, in reality, agree with Susan.
No-one has signed Hilary’s petition as yet.
Tom forced to kiss Doug Somerville’s shoes (not literally)
After being forced to wait an age, and only allowed a few moments of Doug Somerville’s time, Tom’s bristling to get a fair deal with Underwoods.
But Doug’s not for turning.
[Doug] “It remains to be seen … Tom Archer’s may ring a bell. An alarm bell … I’m taking a big risk here. Frankly, I’ve have expected a little more gratitude!”
[Tom] “You know how good my sausages are!”
Buy Doug reckons that he can take his pick of sausages producers – most of whom would give their “eye teeth” for the deal he’s offering Tom. In his humble (!) opinion, Tom needs to invest and work hard to try and make the best of it. He can’t expect everything to be as it was before, and Doug reckons the risk is all on Underwoods.
[Doug] “Are we clear where we stand? No more whinging or nik picking … I like you Tom, or I wouldn’t be giving you this chance. But you’ve got to see where you are. You used to be backed by a bigger brand … but that’s changed … so let’s see if Tom Archer’s Borchester brand can work on its own”
[Tom … chomping on some humble pie] “Yes. I do know it’s a great opportunity”
[Doug … as patronising as he can muster] “Yes. You’re a lucky boy”
Ivy’s not getting any better
Seems she just wants to stay in bed all the time. Which isn’t like her.
Infact, Susan reckons she’s getting worse.
Oh dear.
Both for Ivy.
But also for what it could mean about Clive. Could Ivy stipulate in her will that Clive gets to stay in her house?
Princess Emma
Emma’s talking to Susan about how worried she is that George is obsessing about playing burglar.
[Emma] “I mean all the time. In full costume”
But Susan reminds Emma that she was obsessed with being a princess when she was wee. Infact, she took it further than most:
[Susan] “Do all little girls insist their mum hide a pea under their mattress to see if they could feel it … for weeks we had to call you princess Emma!”
So, though George sleeps in his burglar mask – Susan reckons it must be more comfortable than the tiara Emma slept in.
[Susan] “He’ll get tired of it. I mean, I haven’t seen you in a tiara for years!”
It’ll be blamed on the pigs …
At home, Tom admits to Brenda that Doug “wiped the floor” with him.
[Tom] “I’m beginning to agree with mum. He’s not a nice man”
So Tom’s lost that battle. He’ll now concentrate on British Sausage Week (31st October – 6th November - http://www.lovepork.co.uk/blog/article/sausage_week_2011)
And, he reckons he’ll have his football playing pigs up on his website this weekend.
[Tom] “Those girls have a lot riding on them “
I hope, for their sake, they do generate interest.
Mind you – the worst that could happen to them is going to happen regardless …
