Ambridge Extra Tuesday 8th November 2011: Neil tackles Clive, Daniel tackles Raife

  • Neil starts to lose his temper
  • Who is Gavin?
  • Neil kicks Clive out
  • Clive scares Daniel
  • Don’t call me, I’ll call you
  • Daniel was “epic”



Neil starts to lose his temper

[Neil] “Any idea where your mum kept her bin bags Clive?”

But Clive isn’t listening. He’s found a photo album, and is looking through it.

[Neil] “Clive, enough. We’re not here to take a wander down memory lane!”

[Clive] “Fine. I got you. Thanks for being so sensitive”

I think Clive had a point – he was enjoying looking at the old family photos, but Neil was there to clear out Ivy’s stuff as Susan couldn’t face it. Time and place, methinks.


Who is Gavin?

A bit of a stirrer, by the sounds of it.

He’s a mate of Daniel’s and is winding Daniel up about Erin.

[Gavin] “Get in there. The whole school thinks you’re together anyway”

Daniel is a gent and truthfully says there’s nothing going on, but Gavin wants to push it. He tells Daniel that Raife has been saying stuff like Erin was possessive, and:

[Gavin] “She’d thought she’d seduce a little boy instead that she can control”

Later on – Gavin then shows Daniel what Raife has been saying about Erin on Facebook. Stuff like -warning, bunny boiler alter – how’s your new boyfriend, does he like used goods – and such nonsense.

But, it’s enough to enrage Daniel, who storms off to go and find Raife …


Neil kicks Clive out

Hurrah!

Clive’s upstairs going through Ivy’s stuff. Amongst the old dentures (!), he finds £300 in notes.

Just as he is about to pocket them, Neil walks in and catches him.

Bit shouting match ensues.

[Clive] “You don’t want to cause you’ll know what she’ll say … Sue knows I’ve changed … she’s the only who has ever cared … you just wait til she hears how she’s been treating your brother”

[Neil] “Get out … I’m not letting you take advantage any longer … are you going to hit me, I wonder whose side Susan will be on then!”

And Clive doth exit.


Clive scares Daniel

As Neil is kicking Clive out, Daniel is passing the house on his bike.

Neil’s telling Clive to go away after the funeral – Daniel sounds scared.

[Clive to Daniel] “What you looking at?!?”

[Daniel] “Erm, nothing”

[Neil] “Don’t you talk to him!”

Course, Clive doesn’t realize who Daniel is, but Neil knows that Daniel will be quite rightly terrified at the sight (and sound) of Clive.

After Clive has left:

[Daniel] “Aren’t you scared? Talking to him like that? Aren’t you worried? He might come back to hurt you”

[Neil] “Nah, he won’t. Anyway, what’s the alternative, just to him get away with it … and let him carry on hurting people. No, it won’t do Daniel. Sometimes you’ve just got to stand up to people like that”

Quite right Neil. And good on you.

Heroes sometimes come in pig man sizes.


Don’t call me, I’ll call you

After having a rather bad time with Neil, Clive tries to cheer himself by getting more work from Matt.

Actually, he starts begging. Which wasn’t pretty to hear.

[Matt] “Don’t ring me again. I’ll call you if I need anything”

Aha! Couldn’t have happened to a nice bloke.


Daniel was “epic”

So it seems.

[Gavin] “Serious mate, that was epic. No-one talks to Raife like that!”

Amongst other things, Daniel went up to Raife and called him a loser.

Daniel – to himself - I could feel myself shaking, it was like someone else was talking

[Gavin] “You completely shamed him. Erin's going to be so impressed … when Erin finds out, I guarantee you you’re going to be get the best birthday present ever”

Not so sure about that. I don’t think today’s young ladies like having their “honor defended”.
