Neville and Mrs Nelson are unlikely friends.

They met when Neville, on community service, stubbed out his cigarette on Mrs Nelson's petunias. This 82 year old 4'5 widow was not going to be intimidated by a 6'7 bloke in a tracksuit.

But they have become firm friends in their own way. Neville gives Mrs Nelson something special for her roll ups which takes away the aches of pain of her arthiritis and Mrs Nelson is teaching Neville cross stitch. They are both hooked.

Olwyn's house is the cleanest in the street. Cleanest in the village if she is honest.

Every day, Olwyn cleans and cleans; it saves her from having to think of the way her life worked out.

Late at night she plays her organ. Chapel Hymns mostly, with a few 'safe' selections from her 'Sing Something Simple song book' That book is the only dogeared thing allowed in the house.

Mr Olwyn (Eric to his pals) lies awake at night listening to the organ and wonders if he could ever persuade Olwyn to finger his organ as energetically. He sighs and turns over in bed, sure in the knowledge that mutual organ fingering is a thing of the dim and distant past.

Lavinia lives in Fulham. She's self emplyed interior designer who chooses not to work full time. She's rather fond of throwing dinner parties. She prides herself on making them look effortless, but infact she regularly attends cookery courses, and spends days planning the table decorations.

MrsRonWeasley · 20/07/2007 19:23

Lavinia has a collection of books on architecture on her living room bookshelf. She has never read them.

She stashes copies of Home and Garden in her bedside cabinet and cuts out pictures of room sets which she then later copies in her designs. These are all magazines which are at least 18 months old; this way nobody notices.

She doesn't actually have any qualifications in interior design, but when Phillippa (who Lavinia knows from reading group) asked Lavinia's opinion on whether to order lemon or saffron silk Liberty valances, she realised that this was something she could make some money from.

Emma, the slightly plump student nurse, was bullied by Magenta (aka Sharon) at school. Magenta was in the year above her and hung out with the 'cool' girls. Emma was never cool. Magenta also applied for nursing.
Emma was horrified when she saw Magenta in the lecture theatre on their first day; however Magenta was booted out as she refused to remove her tongue piercing.

Bozza works in Financial PR. He used to be in the army, but instead of a platoon of chaps to command he now has just an account executive, Tilly.

Bozza (no-one, not even his clients, know his real name, which is Alisdair Boswell Charrington) has struggled to grasp the downsizing of the chain of command, and also the fundamentals of the City. He drives a VW Golf and never, never stays in London at the weekend. There's always a party to go to and a filly to harness..

he wears a signet ring on the little finger of his right hand.

I am strangely & sadly,addicted to this thread now.

Bozza was in Iraq with Spencer. He was intrigued by his tattoos, especially the way the naked lady moved when Spencer flexed his biceps. It made him feel odd. He dosn't like to think about it too deeply.

bootsmonkey · 20/07/2007 21:07

Bozza has a subscription to Tattoo monthly

Jason is Magenta's boyfriend.

He is 6'1" and weighs 8.5 stone. he only wears black and has had his eye teeth sharpened by a special dentist in London.

he loves Anne rice books and belongs to a group of Vampire lovers who meet in a pub.

He insists on being known as Santiago, and hates his parents calling him "Jase".

Tilly has a degree in public relations from the University of the White Cliffs.

She is waiting for Bozza to slip up big time to nab his job. She is sleeping with Bozza's biggest (in all ways!) client.

sallysparrow · 20/07/2007 21:12

Jason works at Macdonalds, where the 13 yearolds laugh at his teeth and eyeliner.

Michael (you know the one that lives upstairs from the gay guys) has quite a large willy, but he's never really convinced of this and always trys a bit to hard to please both in bed and out. This means he has a tendency to say whatever he thinks people want to hear and finds he has dug himself into some very big holes. He secretly wants to have gay sex with both his neighbours but is to scared to ever carry it out.

sallysparrow · 20/07/2007 21:15

Magenta has made an appointment to see her GP. she got her tongue piercing caught on one of Jason, sorry, Santiago's fangs last night.

Vron is Magenta's GP. She is 45 and about to have her first baby.

She is shitting herself.

Cammelia · 20/07/2007 21:16

Lynda, however, is a cleaner who smokes

Elaine works as a receptionist at an opticians and wears trilene suits and an open necked short sleeved white blouse.

Miranda wants to be a stage manager but so far has only managed to get a job in a stationers

sallysparrow · 20/07/2007 21:16

The gay guys are having a party on Saturday night, and have invited all the neighbours.

Michael doesnt know whether to go or not.

he is afraid of what might happen.
