Alice sells more strawberries than Brian … Very groovy ‘topical insert’ about the World Cup … Kathy, Jamie and Fallon arrive home … Jude might go away
- Defoe scored, Rooney hit the post
- Kenton remains oblivious
- Now don’t tease us. We’ll all put in a fiver for Jude to go travelling
Defoe scored, Rooney hit the post
I will fully admit that I was utterly delighted about the football chat tonight.
That was a very groovy moment, worthy of much Twittering.
Jolly good show, folks.
Kenton remains oblivious
Just when is the penny going to drop?
Kenton didn’t get it when they first found out when Sid had died
Still didn’t get it when he chose to put Jaxx above going to New Zealand with Kathy and Jamie
Give them a lift to the airport? Nope, Kenton didn’t work that one out
Call them on the day of Sid’s funeral? Don’t be daft, they should have been calling him about the re-opening of Jaxx
Be appropriate/tender/supportive (and on) when collecting them from the airport? Mais non – still didn’t get it.
And when Kathy made slight digs about the lack of people at the funeral and the lack of support she had – did Kenton even notice?
Did he Jaxx!!!
Jamie’s obviously in pieces after an “awful funeral”, and all Kenton can think to bang on about is the traffic and the football.
I know – that might just be his way, and he did sound nervous – but surely enough’s enough?
How come he doesn’t have a clue about his step-son’s life (forgetting that Jamie watched the football with Sid at The Bull), and can he not actually hear Kathy when she was talking?
And adding insult to injury, he then heads off to Jaxx when Kathy and Jamie have gone to bed.
You know what. I can accept that some folks just can’t cope with grief but, as I’ve said before, can Kenton not even muster enough empathy to realise that Kathy and Jamie just need him to be there?
Now don’t tease us. We’ll all put in a fiver for Jude to go travelling
There’s a surprise. Jude’s Head of Department doesn’t like him.
Chris also seemed to find Jude a bit of a dud:
“It’s like talking to a depressed undertaker”
I think Jude has missed the point about College. It’s a choice and a privilege, quite unlike a prison.
Can’t say I’m surprised to hear he’s going to quit. Isn’t that what weak-minded control freaks like him do when they don’t get their way?
But thrice hurrah! His plan is to go travelling. For a year. Which means that Pip couldn’t go with him, and she’d be bound to find a better young chap while he’s away.
Or, will she chuck her College in as well and head off with him? Would she manage to even make it past Borchester without David shooting the tyres off of Jude’s car???
Mind you, had to *snort* over Jude’s idea of ‘real travelling’. Seemingly Europe is too small minded, but it’s real in Australia.
Idiot.
Jaxx re-opens … Sid’s funeral … Helen’s has a six week scan … Jude and Pip plans their trip
- I think they should have gone with the moose head wall feature
- If Jude wasn’t ringing alarm bells before, surely now that he thinks Kenton is ‘a really cool guy’
- Sid’s funeral sounded horrific
- Who ate all the canapés? Helen did. Helen did. Helen ate all the canapés.
- What did Kenton say about Helen’s skirt?
- No Kenton. You supporting your partner and step-son through the death of his father is not, I repeat not, a ‘test’
I think they should have gone with the moose head wall feature
Actually – did Jim get any of his ideas past Kenton?
Not that it matters. Seems like Jaxx was a big hit with all and every.
If Jude wasn’t ringing alarm bells before, surely now that he thinks Kenton is ‘a really cool guy’
I think I’m now more frustrated that I can find any new way to express my frustration about Jude.
Well, not without my blog turning blue!
He did sound very keen about his trip with Pip (for which she’s working all hours).
Mind you, they do deserve each other – what with Pip thinking everyone in Spain will speak English, and Jude thinking that the Spanish name for hamburger we just, like, so, utterly, like, hilarious … pleb.
And just a word to Pip – I really don’t want to know how ‘different’ you will be once off David and Ruth’s radar. Too much information, especially when it involves Jude. You’ll only live to regret it.
While I’m at it:
“I’ll fit in with whatever you want”
Is (a) not a healthy way for one partner to act towards the other and (b) a disaster when said to Jude.
Why on earth are you being so compliant to such an utter idiot?
Sid’s funeral sounded horrific
You have to feel so sorry for Jolene, no matter what you thought about Sid.
At least she had her family with her when they cremated Sid in New Zealand, but it was such a horrible funeral.
Officiated by someone who’d never met him, only enough people to fill a couple of pews at the front, knowing that Sid had tonnes of friends who would have wanted to be there.
It’s a real shame.
I only hope things don’t get any worse for Jolene on her return …
Who ate all the canapés? Helen did. Helen did. Helen ate all the canapés.
So it took a baby to make Helen hungry.
That’s mean, as it’s actally really nice to hear Happy Helen rather than morbid/controlling/moping Helen.
What did Kenton say about Helen’s skirt?
“Love the ? skirt”
Any ideas?
No Kenton. You supporting your partner and step-son through the death of his father is not, I repeat not, a ‘test’
Kenton was really trying every and any justification for not going to New Zealand with Kathy and Jamie, or for driving them to the airport, or for not attending the party to send-off Sid
While he reckons he made the only choice he could make, I think he’s just got his priorities well and truly out of kilter.
Yes, it would have been annoying and difficult to have missed Jaxx’s re-opening, but surely any sane person would put their family first?
Or, does Kenton really just not care about Kathy and Jamie? Are they just becoming an inconvenience?
The cheek of the man complaining that Kathy hadn’t called him to wish him good luck on the opening of a bar he doesn’t even own, ON THE DAY OF SID’S FUNERAL.
Maybe it’s good that Jude thinks Kenton’s ‘cool’. They certainly have the same attitude to anything that isn’t directly about themselves …
