Also, in "Love and War" , Lynda makes a comment about liking Spike's dad and how he was nothing like was she had expected (from Spike's discriptions). I think the "slob" view is just Spike's perception of his father although others don't see it. People tend to be more critical of their parents than of other people's parents. Also , Spike seems to blame his father for his mum leaving (various references in "A Night In") which is obviously a touchy subject for him. O.K., enough psychoanalysis for now... ~Sky. > T H E P R E S S G A N G M A I L I N G L I S T > By default, pressing 'reply' will send mail back to the list, not > to the author of the message you're replying to. > To unsubscribe, mail "unsubscribe" to "pressgang-request@lists.yoyo.org" > -- T H E P R E S S G A N G M A I L I N G L I S T By default, pressing 'reply' will send mail back to the list, not to the author of the message you're replying to.
