Episode Three of Series Three

Hamish had really got his feet under the table (or Lavinia's bed really).  The young Scotsman cackled smugly:

 "Snaffle!  Snaffle!  Och!  I've really landed on me feet here!  Lovely young bride, Go-er for a ma-in-law, nice hoose!  Nae money but never mind, this will do until something better turns up..."  

 Unfortunately for the young scoundrel, Lord Posh heard every word.......


















Immediately, he runs and tells the young Lavinia the Caledonian's awful words:

 The young nymph laughs:  "Why, Poshie!  You're not jealous, are you?  (titter)"
"'pon my soul, you young filly!  Of course not! But you must heed my warning about that so-called fiancee of yours!"

His patience at an ebb with the young doe, he seeks out Mary for consolation (and tells her not to put the cake in the washing machine!)

 Despite her mocking of the old family friend's warnings, Lavinia starts to have serious doubts about Hamish.  How come he's moved into her bed - without her?  How come he spends so much time with Mama?

 Meanwhile, at Marjorie's piano recital that evening, Lord Posh brings his new filly, Krista.  A corker of a girl from Sweden.

Marjorie leaves the room to "tuck Hamish in bed", at least that's what I thought she said.

And Lord Posh excused himself for a "drink of water" in the spare room with Mary.  He'd be gone for hours.  

 My God, that man was a machine!

Which was all well and good, but it left me stuck with this Scandanavian creature here.  I mean, don't get me wrong, she was a pleasant enough lady but.....

Who was actually starting to get very friendly indeed!

You're barking up the wrong tree there, Love!  (I mean, bless her!)

However, a few moments later:

??

Or is she????   Lumme!!!

Is Paul attracted to women?  Again?  Will Lavinia ever heed Lord Posh's words?  Has Marjorie tucked in Hamish?

Episode Two. Series Three

One now has wallpaper....

 ...but I mean, look at the state of it!  Who was this workman?

 Meanwhile, Mary is finding the new power shower hard to come to terms with.  I suppose it's understandable after growing up with a pail of water in a freezing scullery. 
I've a suspicion she hankers after it still.  

And there are still things in the state-of-the-art kitchen the girl just cannot get to grips with.

Meanwhile, I was ignoring Lavinia's bible-bashing boyfriend, Hamish, (the actor unfortunately had to be re-cast).  

 

who appeared to be oggling my wife's legs, in the last series







"Crivens, Hen!", exclaimed Hamish (for he is Scottish), "What's wrang with your auld Pa?!"

 "Oh, not sure if he's gay or not.  That sort of thing.", Lavinia yawned.

 "Jings!  Me auld man wis jest the same!  Until Ma beat it out of him, you ken?"

"Mind you", Hamish added, "I can't see your auld lady doing that!"

"Only if he took her Gin away", Lav giggled,

"Now come to bed"
"Naw, lassie.  I'm away to me bible"
And he gently closed the door.

Meanwhile, I explained my misgivings to Lord Posh

   About my suspicions with this bible chap and Marjorie.
He was quite unhelpful.  Didn't all wives sleep with other people then?  His did.  Anyway, he had his mind on other things, mainly, Mary over our new kitchen sink. 

  Impatient to give Mary a good seeing-to, he tossed me his toasting fork to "give the blighter what for!"
I don't know why I bothered! 

 Then the next morning, there appeared to be the most extraordinary animal noises coming from upstairs.  Our bedroom, in fact!

I bounded up those stairs, determined to confront them once and for all!

 "What the blazes is going on
here?!", I demanded throwing our new door open

 

"Phew!  This pilates lark is exhausting, Mr A!"

Hamish puffed.

Well, I spluttered like a fool, as Hamish explained his concern about Marjorie's bad knee, that he happened to notice one evening.  (So that would explain it!)  

 

I crept back downstairs, and sheepishly read my paper

 

 

 "Now, Mrs A", Hamish pronounced once they were alone, "for the last part of our daily fitness regime!"

"My favourite bit!", giggled Marjorie

"'pon my word," I said to Mary at cake time, as the ceiling shook, "That particular exercise must be very strenuous indeed!"

But why did Mary giggle like that?

 "And what bad knee!"

Will Paul discover the truth about the awful Hamish?  Will he confound the young Scot by reporting him to Vicar college?

Series Three of The Amanda Ann Family Show

 It seems one now has a bath - and lighting, such as it is

I can't see the Devil of the point of the thing:

  

 And as for that shower chappie over there.  

 It seems old Lav is the only one who can get in there

 Marjorie finally agreed to the sitting room cum parlour be moved to the ground floor.  
Meaning our bedroom relocating to it's rightful place, instead of being stuck up in that attic

 Poor Mary is intimidated by our state-of-the-art Aga.  £800 that cost, and she won't go near the thing

 
In fact, Mary's baffled by her new kitchen altogether!

 She yearns for the dodgy gas oven and ramshackle cupboards of our old dwelling.  

And now, the cracks are really beginning to show:

 Quite literally.  I mean look at this am-dram workmanship!

But there are other things too.  I mean, Marjorie's horrified that we have the dining table in the parlour (until we get the conservatory).  But I seem to be the only one that eats at it!

  And even then, it's only fucking cake!

 Marjorie has her meals brought up to her (in a glass)

s

 And although Lavinia uses the excuse that she is between eating disorders at present:

 I know full well she sneaks out at night and get bloody burger and chips!

 The greedy little mare!     She could offer me some!

That's when she's not hours on the telephone to that wretched I've-swallowed-a-bible boyfriend (who I now don't like!)

 And Marjorie, who relocated her music room up in the attic, has got to stop necking bottles and think about getting some new pupils in!  Holidays are ending soon!

Am I the only one pulling my weight around this house?  

I'm sorry to sound so seedy today, but I've stopped watching television and having relations with blokes next door.  I work my arse off doing Stand-up in poxy Sydenham Green or wherever!  You'd just think I'd get a bit of support!!!

  
" I'm off up the pub!  Last one to get a round in is a poof!  Whoops!"



Is Plastic Paul having a meltdown?  
(Get it?  Plastic?  Melt?  Oh please yourselves!)  Will he get in the last round?  


Tune in.  Same time.  Same channel!
