Jack gives a pep talk to the ladies bowls team to get them fired up for
their first match. He wants them to be a lean, mean, bowling team but
the best Fiz can offer is a harmful armful. With Dolly the stuffed
pigeon as team mascot, Jack outlines the bowls game plan, highlighting the
importance of knobs and blobs as he thumbs his balls in the Rovers bar.
Harry buys the Cropper's campervan and leaves this week to travel around
the world. He tempts Eileen with the trip of her life; sunshine,
adventure and a chemical toilet but while she's flattered to be asked,
she's too scared to leave and turns Harry down. In the cab office,
Eileen shares her fantasy of being whisked upstairs by a silent stranger
who comes to fix her boiler. Later in the Rovers Janice and Fiz are
joking with Eileen and a stranger at the bar says he knows a few things
about heating systems and offers to look at Eileen's pipes. " It's no good,"
she jokes, "..you've spoiled me fantasy now, by talking". The two
of them flirt and the bloke leaves. At closing time, the gas man cometh
and silently takes Eileen home to service the old boiler.
Still believing Cilla's come into money, Les chucks out the chintz and
furniture from the house, secure in the knowledge that Cilla can afford
to replace it with new stuff. He also leaves his job at Streetcars
thinking Cilla will keep him in beer and chips. The furniture goes
to the tip and much of it ends up in the crusher but it's not as crushed
as Les is when Cilla has to tell him the truth. With help from Kirk
and Jamie with his van, they troop off to the tip to recover their goods
but end up only with a couple of manky chairs, a fun-size billiard table
and a space hopper. There's a brief glimmer of hope for Les when he
thinks he's recovered his Quo records, but his glee is short lived when he
finds a Des O'Connor LP inside the Quo sleeve.
Joshua, son of Maxine and the too tall doctor, starts calling Claire
'mummy' and she's not best pleased. Ashley can't see what the problem
is, he assumes he and Claire will be married some day anyway so why not
marry him now and be done with it and it'll end all their problems (and
could start some new ones). Claire, wanting a little more romance
in her life and a proper proposal - perhaps with Ashley down on one knee
with a red rose in one hand, a diamond ring in t'other and a 24 piece orchestra
serenading them from t'ginnel as scented petals fall from heaven and angels
sing on high - says no and gets all stroppy and goes on and on and on and
on and on and on and on about it to anyone who'll listen (not me, I zoned
out). Ashley confides to Claire he's not Josh's dad and the
two of them get lovey on the sofa and rub marshmallows into each other's
hair while Fred's away at a square dealer's convention.
Dev and Maya return from the holiday that should have been their honeymoon
if they'd been married as Maya had planned. Sunita collapses as she's
working in the shop and Maya reckons she's doing it for attention but Dev
wants to look after Sunita, and finally faces up to his true feelings for
her. "I need you. Sunita, I love you" he tells her, getting
all romantic by the Tunnocks caramel wafers that get a gratuitous shot of
their own this week. I had a wonderful email from update reader
Lynne this week who recently enjoyed a Mega Tivoli (oh yes) while in the
Tivoli Gardens,Copenhagen. Apparently, the Mega Tivoli is a waffle
cone stuffed with four varieties of ice cream, whipped cream, strawberry
sauce and all topped off with.. a Tunnocks Tea Cake. And if your life
has still not been brightened by the biscuit of joy, click her for more

Despite Mike's reservations, Penny gives Ciaran the money for her share
of the wine bar business. Tracy's all over Ciaran like a rash now he's
in funds. "Is that a cheque for fifty grand in your pocket or are
you just pleased to see me?", she might have said but didn't. "Geddoff
moi body, yer dirty, psycho slapper," he didn't reply. As the two of
them canoodle in the flat, Blanche moans to Ken in the Rovers about dirty
nappies and errant granddaughters.
Aye up and by 'eck, these shoes don't half pinch.
