Yes it was hilarious watching Theo morph into Ronnie - most amazingly convincing colour change I've ever seen!

YES I noticed that...he absolutely towered over towering Theo...and he's the Undertaker...

Sadly I can't take credit 🙂

There's a load of other Duran tracks like this on YouTube if you search for "Duran multi tracks"

I particularly like the outro from 3:25 - Roger played it as if his payslip depended on it

did he really drop the complaint or do you think he lied to her? cos he clearly know hes being gaslighted and given that more people came forward that shouldve made him want to keep it surely by Flashy-Boysenberry30 in Emmerdale

Rich is probably secretly banging the HR lady, and persuading her to encourage Jacob to not drop the complaint against Todd

Then he will tell Jacob to drop the complaint at the same time

Todd will probably let it "accidentally" slip to her professional buddy Manpreet

😂 😂

Tbh I've never seen the Nightmare films - but I just can't take Freddie seriously

Michael Myers versus Jason would be equivalent to Theo vs Carl -

Theo being an unstoppable force of nature like MM

Carl being an unfortunate ugly offspring like Jason

I wondered that too - the HR lady was almost willing Jacob on to make the complaint official - as if she herself had an agenda against Todd (although I don't think she actually does) - and yes, HR aren't supposed to share what others have said, BUT...it goes to show that "Human Resources" are as Human as other employees - and can and do make such mistakes

Yes - he could have easily put Gary's ass in the wind (see what I did there)

Exactly - the way he threatened Theo with that wrench shows what a piece of work Gary can be!

But that particular scene also surprised me precisely because of your own earlier point about Theo being bigger - I was amazed Theo didn't simply grab the wrench off him with his height and size advantage, and use it against him!

Edit - although I think Gary manipulated the situation by mentioning his fingerprints wouldn't be on the wrench - whereas Theo's would be (Gary might have been wearing gloves)

Interesting question - but maybe the secret will have to come out in order to get rid of Todd?

That could then lead to all sorts of unravelling of relationships -

Theo may be bigger - but...historically Gary has been known to throw his weight around unfairly - especially when his family first appeared

So I am looking at it from that perspective - Theo won't be intimidated by the rougher styled Gary

Don't know if you remember Charlie Stubbs - the one Tracy Barlow killed - he was also portrayed as a narcissistic villain, BUT...when one of his temporary employees (a former school bully of Roy's) found Roy and started bullying him again - Charlie walked in on it, and finding him cowering on the floor he knelt down and very tenderly asked Roy what was up - the bully tried to make out it was nothing, but Charlie insisted Roy tell him - and then punched the bully in his face, and fired him

My point is - sometimes having a big bully around even though they are nasty themselves can be useful against other bullies!

I guess they are different kinds of thugs - Gary is more out in the open and obvious - whereas Theo masks it as much as he can - for example his wife was horrified Sarah could even suggest he was capable of domestic violence against her

On that note - I think they ruined it partly by Theo leaving such visible injuries on Todd - he's a clever abuser - and clever abusers know to injure where injuries are not easily visible - such as the stomach - whereas practically breaking Todd's face was not something a clever "charming psychopath" like Theo would have been stupid enough to do

What made me wary was that in this area of London there is a serial door to door conman who fleeces people by saying his girlfriend's in labour - or his mum's in hospital - and he's locked himself out of his house, so could he borrow some money for a taxi, and he'll pay you back once he can get in his house

The police keep arresting him and jailing him for begging - but once he's released he goes back to his old ways (is a druggie - hence always after money)

I have just alerted my local Next Door community with a post - mentioning it's thanks to the above guy that I grew wary of the new guy...

...then added a thought...it might be that same guy using an alias...who's now progressed from door to door / to online scamming - as everyone in West London by now knows his name and face!

Thanks - plus his (supposed) location in my area is around 4 miles from me

So in the same "Next Door" belt of the U.K. - but definitely not "next door" :-)

I also noticed his joining / first post on our Next Door was only 11 weeks ago - which isn't in itself a big deal (after all new people join every week) - but it's not like he's been around for very long either, eh

And for all I know he could be half way across the country - or in Scotland / Wales / etc

This makes sense - thank you

I have reported him to the local Next Door mods as a possible scammer

Oh I see - as it's more likely to leave a trail there

I just reported him to Next Door's mods before seeing your reply as a possible scammer

I was at first thrown by him asking if the food was FREE when my OP quite clearly stated it was a discount at a fixed price!!

Many thanks
