25th June 2010

Freda buckles under pressure … “Kenton needs cheering” … David critiques Jill’s new cookery demonstration video … Pat talks up Brenda … Pip quits

  • All that stress over a salsa verde?
  • “Kenton needs cheering”
  • “Once you get past that rather gauche exterior, she’s much less limited than you’d think”
  • What sort of work can Pip be doing that’ll pay for a trip to Australia or America after only a couple of weeks???


All that stress over a salsa verde?

Poor Freda.

Will she have a complete breakdown if Nathan Booth keeps up his jinks?

“Kenton needs cheering”

According to David.

Maybe he can cheer himself up by behaving like a half-decent human?

Pat was telling Lilian about how upset Kathy is, and that Jamie is glued to his video games.

As we all know, Jamie needs Kenton. Seemingly Kenton is the only one Jamie will open up to – but he’s simply just not there (physically as well as emotionally).
Lilian reckons it’s because of Kenton starting up a new business.

But, as it’s been said before, I reckon it’s just a matter of priorities.
Jaxx is more important than Kathy or Jamie.

But just how long will they be willing to put up with coming a very poor second best?

“Once you get past that rather gauche exterior, she’s much less limited than you’d think”


*snort*

That’s a backhanded compliment if I ever heard one!

Lilian just can’t quite seem to rise to Pat’s utterly positive opinion of Brenda and her abilities.

“In an ideal world, we looked around a bit longer – seen who else was available”

Though as Pat was waxing lyrical, Lilian did mention that she’d no doubt that Brenda could

“manage basic office jobs”

How long before that gets back to Brenda? And just how vitriolic will Tom be about it?

What sort of work can Pip be doing that’ll pay for a trip to Australia or America after only a couple of weeks???

The mind does boggle and worry …

It was a long time coming, but Pip has quit College before David and Ruth even had a chance to persuade her otherwise. And she finally admits that she mucked up some of her exams (will that keep Elizabeth quiet now?)

As Ruth put it, Pip’s basically
“Giving up education for a long holiday”

And let’s face it, even if Pip had got rubbish grades at the end of College, as long as she passed overall, it’d never matter. Unless she was aiming for academia, all that she needs to show is that she managed to stick with it, get a qualification and learn some stuff.

Instead, she’s wasted the last year.

Though, did I hear Pip started to say ‘Jude’ as David and Josh do (along the lines of ‘Ruuuude’)? Is that the tone of dissent with the manboy?

Ah well. The best we can hope for is that both Pip and Jude goes away for a long while, with Pip then returning solo and a less whiny person.

Either way, the fund to pay for Jude to go (and stay gone) is swelling up nicely in an offshore account. Feel free to contribute at your leisure ;-)
