Where would you put it?
Just a quickie.
I happened to be watching an episode of Eastenders while sorting out socks this morning (... jealous?) when one of the long-running soap's most ridiculous incidental offerings came to my attention.
As I surveyed the stockpiles of sock-piles, which I'd named, 'trainer sockes with emblems'; 'trainer socks without emblems'; 'patterned socks'; 'socks for work' and 'his', I watched as hardman Phil Mitchell (he of The Mitchells, the alcoholism, the 'sorting of things', the exhaling, and the red, bald head) purchased a jiffy-bag-clad gun in order to ;sort' Archie - who also happens to be his uncle and stepdad all roled into one.
Anyway, after taking delivery of the weapon, from what looked like a pubescent pizza delivery boy, Phil wanted to put his purchase somewhere safe. Somewhere no-one would find it. Somewhere safe.
Under the kitchen sink then.
Yes that's right... after having a look at it, he put it back in the jiffy and placed it behind what one can only assume was the domestos, the mr muscle kitchen clear, a few spare brillo pads, a vase and a couple of rogue clothes pegs (maybe that was a little too detailed for an assumption... can you tell I've been cleaning today?).
But that wasn't the end of it. Later in the episode, his bespectacled son Ben found the bag and subsequently the gun while looking for some masking tape or something, looked worried and then put it back where he'd found it.
Does no-one have a wardrobe at the Vic? How's about locking an offensive weapon in the lockable living room safe which has featured so often?
Maybe there was no room on account of Barbara Windsor's latest hairpiece. If that's not offensive I don't know what is...
