Gloria is a cabaret singer on the Northern club circuit. She is in her 50s, has a penchant for gold lame, wears a lot of faux gold jewellery and winks too much. She has been married 5 times, but her husbands were all complete shits. She likes to think of herself as 'a survivor'.

Who doesn't Mavis have a cat? - She should have a cat!

Dominique sounds French but isn't. (Her parents were convinced she was a boy and loved the name Dominic)

She works as an events co-ordinator which sounded glamourous but isn't and spends days poring over seating plans for events to which she will never be invited.

She wears red coats and jackets as she thinks it makes her jolly but she's actually really snippy on the phone and most of the people who speak to her are left with a bad taste in their mouth afterwards.

Jackie has a chip on her shoulder. A BIG one.

moodlumthehoodlum · 19/07/2007 09:57

Chester and Topher still aren't speaking. Topher is very huffy about this and has decided that he is going to splash out and take Evelyn M-P out for a long lunch, rather than the normal chicken caesar wrap he buys her...

Mike is sporty. and dresses like a golf pro.

Ryan is too young to get married - but is doing so because his girlfriend told him they should.

They are both still pathologically attached to their families and spend all weekend with them. They can be very smug
He is shagging her friend

PinkMartini · 19/07/2007 10:02

Jackie is good fun and very funny but quite hard (you don't want to be on the wrong side of her)
She's an office institution but is not the office dragon as she's not that bothered about rules. No one is entirely sure what her job description is but she can help you with most things. She has a very gummy smile.
She goes to the Costa Brava on holiday and wears clothes that are five years too young for her.

moodlumthehoodlum · 19/07/2007 10:02

Larry also dresses like a golf pro, drives an old old 5 series BMW and when he meets women of a certain age, says "enchante" and kisses their hand.

PinkMartini · 19/07/2007 10:02

X-posted purplemonkey - I think she does have a chip (that's why you shouldn't cross her)

Felicity is 32, used to be in PR but now advises a charity, and is trying to live up to her namesake in the Good Life, by cultivating an allotment in Sutton, South London. She is becoming an allotment bore. She only wears fair trade clothes and is a lentil weaver, but does secretly long for LK Bennett and a skinny capp no froth to start the day.

Susanna went to a good school and a slightly less good university. Last year she packed in her graduate job in events management to train guide dogs.
Her husband Matthew commutes to the City three days a week and works from home the rest of the time.
They live in one of the prettier parts of Kent.

Kelly was sentenced to two years in a youth detention facility for selling pirate DVDs during lunchtimes at the local high school.

She was only caught out when the Deputy Head (Ralph - wears Disney ties, keeps using the word 'cool'), complained that his copy of 'Debbie Does Darlington' didn't play properly.

The conversation was overheard by the school secretary (Karina - human version of a weasel with OCD), who informed the police.

But only after first establishing that Kelly was unwilling to give her a percentage of the profits.

Kelly spent 14 months in the detention centre. She was let out early because she pretended to find God, and she started a choir.

She is now dating Neville, who is training to be a priest, and whom she met when he came in to play the keyboards for her choir.

They have just got engaged.

Neville sends a percentage of his income to an orphanage in Zimbabwe.

It annoys Kelly a bit, but she hasn't said anything yet.

She also hasn't mentioned her previous run ins with the law, and her record of shoplifting, ABH, soliciting and burglary.

She thinks those things are best left unsaid until after the wedding.

Violet lives in a bungalow in Worthing, she drinks sherry every day at noon. Her daughter comes to visit once a week and brings a casserole for the freezer.

Violet hates casserole.

Jocinda makes a big show of her love of the environment - recycles, terry nappies, vegetarian and has an allotment. Her credibility is severly dented, however, by driving a 5 year old Nissan Micra.

She has 3 kids but only planned one of them.

MrsScavo · 19/07/2007 13:20

Joyce still rides a bike even though she's 72. She likes oil painting and jam making. She is planning to travel round the world when her husband dies.

MrsScavo · 19/07/2007 13:22

Is Jackie Don and Shelly's daughter?

SixKindsOfCrisis · 19/07/2007 13:39

Clive loves his new Blackberry. But he doesn't really need it.

MrsRonWeasley · 19/07/2007 13:40

Emma is a slightly plump student nurse. She nearly went into beauty therapy instead, but is not high maintenance enough. At least with nursing you don't have to choose your clothes in the morning.

casbie · 19/07/2007 14:04

charlotte is a yummy mummy, always on-time and looking fashionable. she rides horses, has three cats and smokes 'perfumed' cigerettes behind the dustbins of their expensive minimalist victorian home, in a trendy part of london.

her husband works long hours and is 'away on business' a lot.

she fancies the only house-husband at nursery, but worries that her best friend already has tried him out!

bootsmonkey · 19/07/2007 14:13

Jackie wears a yellow thong bikini when on holiday in Spain, even though she is a size 22. She has a married boyfriend and goes like a train...

bootsmonkey · 19/07/2007 14:13

She also prefers to go topless

MrsScavo · 19/07/2007 14:26

Jackie loves karaoke.
