Maxwell's a Lad and I am surprised to see him expressing tenderness towards Craig, physicially
Ah but you see Maxwell's a new lad
I think he's more canny than that. He's obviously intelligent and has good social skills, and the laddish things he says are straight out of some kind of '1970's Sweeeny Lingo Handbook' by Dennis Waterman. I think I read somewhere about how Maxwell was a posh kid until he moved to North London and had to change his accent. This suggests to me that the whole "lad" thing is an act: he's a mockney. I'll bet he has a fairly mixed class and cultural background, that he's an inbetweener of sorts, and that there's more going on behind those dopey eyes than he's letting on. It's as though he and Anthony are competing for the Lad, Lass, and Gay vote. That's why they haven't kicked off with Craig, yet. For example, last night Maxwell got so annoyed with Craig's incessant "Do you think I should have a shower?"-type of questioning, that he snapped and said:
"Craig? Do us a favour and....... just go and have a shower?"
The words "f**k off" were written all over his face. But like I typed: he's a canny lad. |
