All Hallows

The Regulars were initially highly impressed to hear that Hamish had gone to some effort to decorate his abode for Halloween.

Indeed, considering how far his previous attempts at home decoration had been wide of the mark, (see Decorum and A Guiding Light ) they could hardly wait to paint their faces (Except Tattoo of course; no need) and go trick-or treating.

Clearly Kirstie Allsopp has no need to worry as yet.

Sampling

There come times when, tidying up round the house after Billy Idle, Gobby cannot help but despairingly asking herself the question:



"How can they not know it's a carpet sample not a mat?!

Bulk

Again Gobby felt her home economic skills and thrifty talent to be wholly undervalued as, after a recent fruitful money-saving jaunt, all her concerted effort received on Billy Idle's homecoming was:

"Oooh, shall we invite the neighbours round for a shit?"

Shirty

Gobby had to confess to a unprecedented fit of puerility when, as Billy Idle piqued her during a particularly uncooperative effort to add to the weekly shopping list, she saw fit to take use the chalk held in her hand and express her true feelings on the back of the T-shirt he was wearing.

Considerably later, after the (chalk) dust had settled and they retired harmoniously for the evening, Gobby did check to make sure Billy had placed the article in question in the wash basket so she could make amends. 

She was more than slightly surprised when the answer came back as 'no' and to find the garment had been placed on Billy's (on occasions precariously high and regularly somewhat foetid)  'rewear' pile.

So much so that she had to probe,

"And on just which future occasion do you think your C**T shirt will be suitable?"

Tribute

After completing the double, Gobby and Billy Idle felt they needed to mark the end to the season with a fitting tribute, and what could pay more homage than an article of such outstanding quality:





















And any doubts at the calibre of such an item were soon assuaged when Gobby admitted to the purchase to her considerably posher friend who subsequently led her down the garden path to admire the following:

Feeling vindicated Gobby relayed the evidence to Billy idle who simply elucidated:

"That merely makes her more chav not you less so!"

Headcase

Jordan was not particularly impressed with Tattoo's experimental use of her prized new kitchen purchase.

Although the rest of the Regulars were amazed his head could be any more shiny.

Novelty

On a pre-beer-trip stomach lining expedition Gobby was somewhat terrified by the produce on offer by a well-known pasty purveyor not to mention as to at a loss at what to do with said item.

As Luck would Have It

Gobby felt confident for the semifinal win as, in addition to the team colours:

Billy Idle announced he had also put on his 'lucky underpants'.



So lucky, it would seem, they stayed on a whole 3 days.
