Ambridge Extra Thursday 3rd November 2011: Clive thinks he is smarter than Matt

  • Sloppy seconds
  • Clive really is a w*nker
  • Alistair approves of Erin’s wheels
  • And now Clive goes for the money shot …
  • Shula’s setting up Erin



Sloppy seconds

Clive’s doing some dodgy deal with Bernie.

Sounds like he’s buying a bathroom from Bernie. It’s a second hand one (how does that happen, by the way?) which Clive is going to sell onto Matt as new.

Clive fits the bathroom – but Matt does spot that there are marks on them.

But, Clive twists it round. He reckons that’s the way he got them from Bernie, and Bernie won’t be happy if they complain. If Bernie isn’t happy, they can’t do any more deals. Which means having to buy in more expensive stock. And anyway, it’s only a rental property.

Matt seems to fall for it.

Clive – to himself - like taking sweets from a baby – who is using who now Mr big shot. You’re not as smart as you think you are

Hmmm.

I think matt has underestimated Clive, but Clive would do well to also not underestimate Matt.


Clive really is a w*nker

Clive is being horrible to Bert. His dad. Recently widowed (husband of the recently departed Ivy).

He’s taken him out to the pub, but Clive really interested in looking after or helping Bert.

It’s all about Clive, Clive, Clive …

Bert’s getting the pints on (!), is a bit wobbly and upset, spills the beer on Clive’s phone, Clive shouts at him (!!) and tells him to go get a cloth (!!!).

Clive – to himself - dozy old fool, look at this mess, can’t he do anything right

Clive then says to Bert that he doesn’t know why Susan is bothering inviting Kylie – after insisting to Susan that she must invite Kylie.

As I said above.

What a w*nker.


Alistair approves of Erin’s wheels

And reckons her parents must have bags of money to be able to buy insurance for her.

At one point, he shouts “nice ride” over to Erin, which is a tad inappropriate.

But it’s all another point in Erin’s favor. Good looking. Intelligent. Talented. A plan for her life. And rich parents.

All it needs now is for Erin to actually fancy Daniel.


And now Clive goes for the money shot …

[Clive] “Listen dad, about mum, I don’t suppose you’ve had a chance to think about what she’s leaving us?”
Here we go.

Clive’s going onto Bert about how he has nothing to remember Ivy by. Not even a photo.

He spins Bert a story about how Ivy told him (Clive) that she wanted him (Clive) to make a better life for himself. Including wife and kids.

[Clive] “She said she wanted me to have her rings. Engagement and wedding ring. Didn’t she tell you … how she said it was I should have them, so that even when she weren’t around anymore I could look at them to remind me that she were watching and not to disappoint her …. Her last wish was that I should find someone to give them to …”

Bert starts crying.

[Bert] “Yes, well, I suppose if that’s what she wanted. Alright then. It’s not like I’ll be needing them anymore”

Clive – to himself - what does he care anyway? He’ll never know. At least I’ll be able to make some use of them.

Again. What a w*nker.


Shula’s setting up Erin

Daniel’s not around when Erin calls, so Shula steps in to make sure Erin still visits after their homework project is finished.

She does so by offering up Alistair.

Erin’s now going to go out on rounds with Alistair

Shula – to herself - I’m only trying to help. She deserves some support

Mum and dad involved in trying to get Daniel a girlfriend … this can’t end well, surely.
