NEW HAT

George is waiting for Lynne. Lynne comes out of a shop apologises for being late and explains that she just bought a new hat for Carol's wedding. George doesn't mind as it took him ages to park the car. He then tells Lynne to hurry up as he is on a meter and the time is almost up. Lynne asks George to see her across the road. George picks her up and carries her saying that he will see her anywhere in that hat.

George isn't bothered about Lynne being late yet he is looking at his watch. If he has just arrived, due to taking a long time to park the car, he may just be checking the time to see how late he is and is working out his apology to Lynne. However he could be lying for the sake of diplomacy. He is checking his watch and tutting.

He must be lying about taking ages to park the car as he says that the time on his meter is almost up. Now, unless he only paid for 5 minutes then he has been waiting for a long time. George knows exactly how upset Lynne gets in any argument so he decides to try and cover up his annoyance, but he still doesn't want to get a parking ticket.

So even though he has been waiting ages and is seconds away from a £40 fine, he still decides to carry Lynne across the road. This was something he used to do in his youth but now it's a little trickier. Just look at how much he is shaking. Lynne is far heavier now and he is very close to dropping her. After trying so hard not to upset Lynne he will soon fall on top of her on a wet road and get an ear bashing, and then get a parking ticket. Not a good day for George.

MAD AND PASSIONATE


George and Lynne are out and about when they see a young couple kissing. Lynne asks George if he remembers their mad passionate youth. George says he does and says that Lynne got mad every time he got too passionate.

George and Lynne feel it's safe to walk around in public today. Lynne is wearing an overcoat but is also carrying another garment over her arm. It looks like a relatively sunny day so Lynne has not read the weather forecast properly and has decided to over dress to be on the safe side.

After their short conversation, Lynne appears to punch George. This is connected to George's last comment about Lynne getting mad when George gets passionate. George was not being passionate this time so Lynne has no real reason to get mad. Lynne must have certain rage issues and has a Pavlovian reaction to George's advances. George leant in a bit too far so Lynne got out a quick right jab. This is just a warning shot to show George just what she can do if he decides to get too close. If you look closely, Lynne isn't really trying. Her left hand is nonchalantly playing with her ear when she strikes George and it catches him by surprise, no doubt sending him to the ground. Just imagine what damage she could do with her famous left hook.

BEST MAN

George tells Lynne that he has just been asked by Ted to be best man at his wedding. Lynne asks him why he shouldn't do it as she think he was definitely best man at her wedding.

George is a little anxious about being asked to be Ted's best man. He barely knows him and only really regards him as a golf chum. Firstly he is worried that Ted doesn't really have any friends and secondly he has no idea how he will get a whole speech out just on the basis of playing golf together once every three weeks. He has turned to Lynne for advice, who should be able to pick up on his concern. She encourages him to play on his natural charm and wit to get him through the day and uses an example to back up her argument.

George doesn't look too happy at the end. This is because Lynne has broken the unwritten and unspoken oath that they took. From what Lynne says, it appears that George and Lynne aren't even married! Lynne is married to someone else, presumably a friend of George's, who asked George to be best man. Since that fateful wedding day, George and Lynne have been having an elaborate affair. This does explain why we often don't see George and Lynne together. Lynne prefers to do most of her social outings on her own so not to arouse suspicion. Perhaps Lynne's husband doesn't live in the Wimbledon area, probably in North London, and Lynne tells him that she works elsewhere but in fact she spends that time living her double life in South West London. They were getting on fine pretending it wasn't there, but now Lynne has brought it up, almost flippantly. It truly is the elephant in the room with regards to their relationship.

COME ON UNITED

George and Lynne are at a football match where everyone is cheering for United. As United score, George tells Lynne that they are five-nil up. Lynne decides to cheer for Rovers. George asks her why she is cheering for the other side. Lynne replies that she feels sorry for them.

George and Lynne are at the football and once again they are playing a team in blue. At first glance we might think that they are at Manchester United but then we see the actual crowd. This is lower league football, just as we suspected from before. It's difficult to know exactly which team George and Lynne support. We now know it's not Tooting & Mitcham FC. More research is needed.

Lynne is a season ticket holder at 'United' but not only does she not follow the game, losing track of the score, but she also starts cheering for the other team. This doesn't sound like a true supporter. It seems that she's not really interested in United. Lynne has never liked United. She is a supporter of a completely different team, although not Rovers, and is upset that United's rise up the league is at the expense of her beloved 'City' or 'Town'.

George however is really interested in the game. So much so that he has noticed the fifth United goal before anyone else in the crowd. He has also been able to get out a sentence out before the roar of the crowd drowns him out. However, this last goal maybe much time later as George and Lynne are now in a crowd surrounded by the Terracotta Army. We all know that a non-league ground is a perfect place to store a 2000 year old artifact between exhibitions.

BIKINI CLAD BEAUTIES

Lynne and 'Mantha are at the swimming pool. Lynne tells 'Mantha that Tina caught Trevor with a pair of bikini clad beauties. 'Mantha asks when this was. Lynne tells her it was right now as a woman shouts at Trevor.

Are there no decency laws at their local swimming baths? We can only assume this isn't the mother/child hour. Lynne is showing seven eighths of her rear while 'Mantha's bikini top needs some serious re-adjustment. Trevor has every right to look at them if only to tell them to cover themselves up.

How presumptuous of Lynne to think that Trevor was going to be looking at them. To be fair to Trevor, he was only looking at them and not caught with them as Lynne says. If he was caught with them, this implies that they were more involved than just standing in the shallow end. Lynne must have also seen Tina on the warpath. What she should have said was "Look out. Here comes Tina to have a good go at Trevor who is clearly staring at us." Unless of course Lynne has some sort of psychic powers. If she has, she should put them to better use than to predict marital strife.

MAGIC SHOW

George is picking Lynne up from a magic show and asks if it was interesting. Lynne tells him that it was because the assistants had a fight. George ask what the fight was over and Lynne tells him that it was they both claimed they saw a handsome young volunteer from the audience first.

Either George does not like magic or he was busy and could not attend the show. If he does not like magic then Lynne must really like magic, as it is unlikely that she would attend this on her own, without even a friend. So George was busy, but he is wearing such casual clothes. He has just returned from a company retreat which included a variety of team building exercises. As you can see he is wearing the customary casual businessman attire of a pair of slacks and shirt under a round necked sweater. The retreat was not so far that he had to get the train and he was able to coincide his return with the end of the magic show. The retreat was in Brighton.

How very unprofessional of these assistants. They are literally having a fist fight over who has the rights to this handsome young volunteer. Do they even know he is available? They must have noticed that he was sitting with a group of male friends. If they both have indeed taken a shine to him, the stage is no place for this heated discussion. They should have waited until after the show. The problem there is that it might have been too late; the handsome young volunteer having already gone out the exit and on his way home leaving two magician's assistants sleeping alone once more. Even he did like them, it is unlikely he would make a move after seeing them scrap like that.

DIFFICULT MATHS

George and Lynne are out on a bike ride with a young friend. Lynne asks her how school was to which the girl replies that it was difficult. She goes on to say that she had maths today. Lynne asks her if she found it tough. The girl says it was very tough and adds that 12 out of 10 of her class said it wasn't their strongest subject either.

George and Lynne are exercising on their bikes at around 3.30pm on a weekday. We have seen Lynne exercise at this time before but we have to ask what George is doing there. Has he taken a day off work just to exercise? Has he taken a sickie but now feels this is a sensible time to go out in public? Just how many days holiday does George get a year? He has been abroad on numerous occasions so far this year and surely his annual leave cannot be more than 28 days including bank holidays. We shall have to calculate just how many holidays he has had. He can't fit all of them into the weekend surely? That said, every time we see George and Lynne away in sunnier climes, they do seem to be back the very next day. Seems a waste of a holiday really.

This young girl is called Becky, we have met her before, and she is incredibly dim. On our first encounter with her she thought that the school moved places every day and this time she has used a mathematical impossibility to describe the results of an in class survey. The only explanation is that she had forgotten just how many people she had asked the question "What is your strongest subject?" to and accidently asked two people twice. This has skewed her results, but it also means that it is likely that every single person in her small maths set does not enjoy it.

As her maths set only consists of ten pupils it is safe to assume that this is the lowest ability set. What is worrying though is that this set doesn't have maths every day. If they are that weak at a subject, we would expect extra lessons. Maths O-level is very important and Becky needs to pass it. It seems that english is her preferred subject by the way she gives her results. If she was as bad at that as she was at maths then she'd be more likely to say "And 12 out of 10 people don't like it neither." Luckily grammar is her strong point.
