A laugh-out-loud-Gus-worthy moment on the other board

Someone wrote words to the effect of, “I was expecting Martha to drown herself in the fountain while Chris and Alice were reading the email” ( the one from social services letting them off the hook).

I’m always confused by what is and isn’t irony, but would that have been ironic?

No – just very, very funny.

A comedic moment the storywriters were able to resist.

I think they are probably shy of killing off a young child. Pity, that.

It would solve the problem of whether Martha will ever show any signs of FAS.

But no, they’ll never do it. Good thing, coz if they did, it would be mawkish in the extreme. Didn’t we all suffer enough with Kirsty’s and Ruth’s miscarriages?

Ruth’s miscarriage was infinitely preferable to the alternative, though.

They wouldn’t know comedy if it bit them on the bum and they died of blood poisoning.

Heatherpet’s would have been favourite
