About As a result of their passionate amnesia on the wedding night, nature took its course, and Sheila became pregnant.
Arnold's concern grew along with Sheila's girth, and he hoped that she would be able to regain her svelt figure after the child was born. It was alarming for him to think that the extra pounds she had gained during the pregnancy would not disappear as quickly as he desired, but Sheila had warned him that her mother carried the extra 'baby weight' for many years after she had delivered her children.

Sadly for Sheila, her labour began early, she was only 31 weeks along when the pains began, although she looked big enough to be full term.
Arnold was called away from a job (fixing the newly widowed brunette from down the street's stove, for those of you who care), to meet Sheila at the hospital.
The midwife warned Sheila that her pelvis was quite small, and she may need some help to deliver the baby.
Arnold watched on, unable to comfort his poor wife,who in the throes of agony, was cursing the day Arnold was born, using language he had not heard uttered from her pretty little mouth before now.
After a period of time, the doctor suggested a ceserean section, as the baby did not seem to want to come along.
Arnold was given a mask to wear, and Sheila was given some wonderful drugs.....

Am happy to hear you aren't the only cuckoo in your nest Liz :^)
Arnold is a rogue, no-account, pile of poop husband.... fixing a stove...if you say so Arnie!
You will soon have a rampaging mob of angry Usefilm woman on your doorstep, brandishing their cameras, trying to get proof of your indescretions. Watch your back buddy!!

Drink some water and go have a good lie down darling, and don't you worry your pretty head over the widow. I have come to the conclusion that Sheila is a sucker anyway, I mean really, no wonder Arnold never wanted to be intimate before the wedding, didn't want to let her know he was packing twice as much heat as most blokes, scare her off with his limited capabilities....nah, let the widow have him I say.
Sheila is better off without him.

Well I had the same sentiments about this widower...but then, would arnold be attracted to a 97 year old bottle brunette? ok ok a bird in the bush is worth 2 in the hand....ehehehhehehee...b u t...as much as arnold isn't too my liking, i ACTUALLY think it's a smoke screen...i reckon sheila should check out his palm pilot instead.....he's meant to be a real hot sort!!! hahhahahahaha. oh the midday sun is getting to me.

I think Patrick referred to Arnold as a 'stallion' actually Jan.

My head spins with all this intrigue. I just cannot see Sheila with the widow. But Arnold.... that is a horse of a different color.

Honestly Patrick, you really think Sheila wil have the time to meet the needs of a lonely widow?!! Have you seen the results of the cesarean?!!! Unless of course..I suppose she could leave Arnold to be a house-hubby, make him do some REAL work for a change. It has been a bit of a roller-coaster, dealing with Consumer Affairs day after day, the complaints rolling in about exploding ovens and un-frosty fridges.
I hope the widow has the same size feet as Sheila, they can share her shoe collection, amongst other things!!!
Perhaps after she leaves the hospital she could bake her a carrot cake and pop around for a chat...

Actually, now you mention it that could be a hot storyline... Sheila takes up with a lonely widow who dresses entirely in black every day and spends all her time in the graveyard. Sheila is moved by her tragic loss and spends more and more time with her... but Sheila has a thing about widows in black and before long a whole new avenue of opportunity opens up before her... that is until Arnold catches them at it... his trainers turn red as a symbol of his rage and embarrassment...

How about 'Oh, Sister'? Kind of appropriate too, yeah?
Also, with the pitter patter of little fingers 'one more cup of coffee' could come in handy too.....

No... I was trying to find a way to work as many Bob Dylan album titles into a few sentences as possible... namely, 'Shot Of Love', 'Desire', 'Saved', 'Oh Mercy', 'Time Out Of Mind', 'New Morning', 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan', 'Blonde On Blonde', 'Good As I Been To You', 'Infidels', 'Modern Times', 'World Gone Wrong', 'Love And Theft'. I have too much time on my hands at the moment...

I think 'poor Arnold' has more on his mind than his suffering wife at the moment! Rogue!!!

I have no idea what time it is over in the U.K. but I think Patrick has either trundled off to bed or his place of employment...he has gone suddenly quiet. Perhaps the emotion of the evening has worn him out.....or he needs a reality break...LOL
Am so happy that this is giving you a laugh, I am enjoying it so much, the way that the comments have taken up the story line has been a real bonus, keeps me in stitches...my family thinks I have gone quite mad.

POOR Sheila! And Arnold DOES look worried! (You do this SO well, Bek.)

Now you and Patrick have me howling with laughter again!

Eventually the drugs will wear off Onie, Sheila will come to her senses, we just have to convince Patrick to keep his mouth shut!!!

Yes Meg, yes.
A widow WITH a broken stove...I know. I had the same thoughts myself, what with Sheila's reluctance to let Arnold near her after the 'elephant man' discovery.
Add to that her hormonal ups and downs due to the pregnancy,the weight gain..... I fear that Arnold has found her quite unbearable to be around.
I am hoping for Sheila's sake, and that of their unborn child, that Arnold has not strayed.

rebecca claassen rebecca claassen   {K:12904} 2/7/2007
Are you suggesting Patrick that Sheila should take up with the widow down the street?
Heavens...there's a whole new set of pictures!!!!

We must remeber that meddling in others lives often leads to a whole lotta trouble, best keep your lips zipped and let her find out for herself.

Meg Metcalfe Meg Metcalfe   {K:6114} 2/7/2007
I'm worried for Sheila now, Arnald called away from a job fixing a stove you said...a widow you said!.....
I only hope Arnold keeps his hands on the job and not the widow!

Patrick Crowther Patrick Crowther   {K:13393} 2/7/2007
Now listen here, Rebecca, just because 'Arnold' has already given Sheila a shot of love and her desire for him is stronger than ever doesn't mean she shouldn't be saved from the truth. Oh mercy... a trait I admire in people. Sure, finding out would be a blow, but after spending a fair bit of time out of mind, I'm certain she'd wake up to a new morning and be her freewheelin' self once more. Alternatively, she might decide she's had enough of guys and go for some blonde on blonde action. 'Good as I been to you...' she'd bark, 'you still told me nothing but lies. Men are no better than infidels! A sign of modern times, I suppose. A world gone wrong. Love and theft... '

Come to think of it... ~~GRIN~~ as we speak, so is Sheila, loaded, one way or the other...

So we're still on about this background check thing are we! Sheeesh, I thought we were done with that.
And so what if Arnold IS Bob....he's loaded!! One way or another....

Patrick Crowther Patrick Crowther   {K:13393} 2/7/2007
You know what... I've just thought of something. Arnold bears an uncanny resemblance to Bob Dylan in the mid 1980s when he 'ate all the pies' as we say in the UK. So I am becoming fairly convinced that Arnold is in fact... BOB DYLAN! He knew Sheila liked his music, but also guessed that she didn't know what he looked like as she'd always taped his records from the guy who worked in the liquor store... he wanted to preserve his anonymity, hence Sheila's knowing very little about 'Arnold''s background. The reluctance to use the name 'Isis' just confirms my theory for sure!!

rebecca claassen rebecca claassen   {K:12904} 2/7/2007
Coincidentally, Sheila delivered on the fifth day of May, and Arnold will never forget the way that she smiled (could have been the drugs), or the drizziling rain!!!

OMG Patrick!!!! One of those names is a go!!! It isn't Isis tho', Sheila is a big BOB fan but Arnold felt it a little odd, and tended to lean towards more popular names.
Wow, whoda thunk it?!!! That psychic link thing, you might be onto something there!!

Patrick Crowther Patrick Crowther   {K:13393} 2/7/2007
OK, if it's a boy... Damien, Shane, Brett, Scott, Ricky, Osvaldo, Percival. If it's a wee lassie... Sheila Jnr, Kylie, Esmeralda, Mungo, Mabel, Isis, Petunia, Intestina.

Silly, silly me...read that as telepathic bondage.
Ooops! Is that even possible?
Any-hoo, yes I do believe you are right Patrick, now...if you can suggest some names for the new arrival, we shall test your powers (I do already know the front-runners).....

'fastest gun in town'...! LOL! Yeah, 18 seconds fast!

Patrick Crowther Patrick Crowther   {K:13393} 2/7/2007
You know what's happening here, don't you? The communication that Sheila and Arnold's rampant affair has generated between us has actually generated a psychic linkage... isn't that wonderful?! So not only has the world been given the finest tale of two lovebirds since Ingrid and Humph in 'Casablanca', it also has a genuine case of telepathic bonding to investigate!!

Leonie Fitzpatrick Leonie Fitzpatrick   {K:40551} 2/7/2007
Who is that masked man???... OH! It's ok... It's only the fastest gun in town... No protection, and certainly not blanks... ~~GRIN~~... ARNOLD...

... and Sheila... It's OK... I understand that face so well... (Bit sad really, thought you'd make it through a natural birth... BUT, what the hey... Modern medicine to the rescue...)

Ha Patrick! Sheila is worried too....as soon as Arnold, in his quest for her to regain her figure, starts muttering the words "it rubs the lotion on it's skin or it gets the hose again" she is outta there!!!

Patrick Crowther Patrick Crowther   {K:13393} 2/7/2007
Hmm... that mask Arnold's wearing isn't so far away from a large paper bag with eyeholes cut out of it... does he have a bizarre speech impediment as well? I now have John Hurt and Arnold mixing together in my mind in a bizarre cinematic / photographic hybrid... it is most disturbing.

rebecca claassen rebecca claassen   {K:12904} 2/7/2007
HUSH Patrick, you cannot mention the word 'elephant' in front of Sheila!!!! Arnold neglected to let Sheila in on the little know fact that in college, he was nicknamed 'elephant man' by his mates!!!!
They do say it only needs to happen once you know, and Sheila will vouch for the truth in that staement!!!

Patrick Crowther Patrick Crowther   {K:13393} 2/7/2007
I am pi**ing myself laughing! Rebecca, you are a genius! Poor Sheila, she looks like she's trying to pass an elephant through the eye of a needle! Still, I'm sure all that effort will be well worth it! She was given drugs you say? So she's not only in agony, but wacked out as well! Oh the sweet suffering of a woman in labour..
