BUTTON IT, MOON

It turns out that Fool took Slutty to the hospital and then she stayed the night at the pub. Next morning she mopes around looking wretched and then puts on loads of make-up and tries to put a brave face on things. She tells Dr Perv about the miscarraige in a rather harsh way and later apologises. They make "so that's our storyline finished then" type chit chat and then she leaves. Dr Perv looks mildly put upon, like he has misplaced his keys or something.

Nat gives all her old baby clothes to Simpleton. Barry is a bit put out and says that he wants Nat to have another baby. Nat: ruh roh. Also, more skanking around with Rickay and more Sham poking her nose in and more plans for the birthday party. Wake me up when something happens with this storyline.

Speaking of boring storylines. Robbie looks for a better job and mentions "telesales" as a possibilty. Poor deluded fool. Nita still hasn't told him about India. Next!

Dot and Jim aren't talking to each other. Sonia tries to use her Moomin powers to make Jim apologise but to no avail. Dot cooks dinner but Jim stays at the pub drinking with Elderly Harlot Doris (who is wearing a wierd poncho thing. Aye carumba!). They drink to being "platonic friends". Sonia pops out to buy a tin of rice pudding as a special treat (Jesus, what year are they living in?) and looks for Jim in the pub. Jim runs and hides in the back yard and Doris chases him. She says that he must fancy her or else he wouldn't have felt guilty when sonia came in and basically says that they should do it right there in the alley. Jim pulls a comedy face.

Slutty gets sick of Fool flapping round and shouts at him and stomps off, dropping the Pink Teddybear of Shattered Dreams as she leaves. Fool puts on a really gay leather trench coat and basically follows her round the square until he manages to make her cry. They bond by the Swings of Contemplation. He then says she can go and stay with a mate who is opening a bar in Spain for a bit. How handy. Slutty makes me vom by saying "you're a good man Alfie Moon" before fucking off to Spain with the Pink Teddy etc etc etc. Then they do a wierd camera angle to show Fool's head next to the moon. Because his name is moon, you see. Or maybe they are hinting that he is a werewolf or an astronaut or something. That would be cool.
