Now you've mentioned it, GGM, I'm sooo seeing it. Eugene also seems a bit of a weird throwback to previous generations of maleness: he seems fascinated by things one's Dad - or even grandad - would talk about, makes of car, circuitry, Match of the Day...
I suspect (or, at least, I'm hoping) this week's nominees will be Vanetha and A N Other, prefererably Orlaith or Eugene. Newbies never last long, and these ones are peripheral; they don't add much to the mix. Vanetha seems to have little social function other than that of 'reactive stirrer': agree which whoever's currently gossiping to her, and amp it up.
The Craig/Anthony relationship seems to be entering middle age, in terms of comfortable sniping 'n' griping. One suspects that if Anthony were less good-natured or Craig more pushy (in terms of expecting actual sex as opposed to platonic 'rough-housing'), things would've fallen apart before now. As it is, it seems like a gay relationship nearing its sell-by date. |
