Episode 33

🎼 Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum ...

Jim:  Now, Jazzer, we’ve agreed to sort out this ridiculous situation you have got yourself into with Lilian. We’re going into The Bull now and I will mediate on your behalf.

Jazzer:  Meditate ?  Whit wid be the point o’ that ?

Jim:  I said mediate !

Jazzer::  Whit ?  Ye mean ye’d hud the jaikets ?

Jim:  If I understand the meaning of that colloquialism, you want me to hold your vestments while you fight it out in the Snug.  No, no, no.  I want to be a positive influence, not encourage violence.

Jazzer:  Let’s hear it then, Prof.

Jim:  I will act as your spokesman and set out the case to re-establish your right once again to enjoy the  aforementioned site of public refreshment known as The Bull - Ambridge’s greatest asset...

Jazzer:  Ah thought Sabrina hud both of Ambridge’s greatest assets.

Jim: ... and that you apologise sui generis for any disobligement caused to Lilian.  Thereafter as a quid pro quo your behaviour will improve exponentially.

Jazzer:  Ah’ve nae idea whit ye’re speakin’ aboot but Ah’m willin’ tae gi’ it a go.  Lay on MacDuff !

(Sound of pub door opening)

Lilian:  Good evening, Jim and goodbye, Jazzer.

Jim:  If there is any compassion in your heart, Lilian, please allow Jazzer back into the pub.  He is driving me mad moping about the house and if I have to watch one more rerun of Scotland’s World Cup failures I will book myself into The Laurels.

Jazzer:  Ca’ that mediation - it’s total surrender !

Jolene: (under her breath)  Let ‘im back in, Lilian, we need the cash.

Lilian:  Okay, Jazzer, you’re forgiven but I need a favour from you first.  I’ve been stuck in here all day and Ruby needs her walk round the Green.  Do that and then you can have your pint.

Jazzer:  Whit ?  Be seen in public wi’ that daft wee dug ?  Better sober than a Jessie !

(Pub door slams)

Jim:  Pour me a large one, Jolene.

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum ...

(Ed.  Can we say Jessie ?)
