The Insider's Guide To Happiness

Details

Julie's pregnancy is making her feel fat and ugly. Tim is reassuring and pleasant to her. He even calls her 'babe'. When Julie goes for her check-up she even finds herself giving Tim's name as her partner and signs them both up for 'baby txt', an innovative scheme where parents are sent txts of their baby's development. In a vulnerable moment Julie kisses Tim. She feels terrible when Tim rejects her. He seems angry and repulsed by her coming on to him. Embarrassed, Julie goes to his work to apologise and discovers that Tim no longer works there. In fact he hasn't worked there for some time. She also learns that his behaviour at work had been odd, even, at times, sinister. James, fearing the loss of both the Old Monk and spirituality in general, seeks advice from his mate Bazza, who surprisingly seems very wise, though he refuses to take any credit for his wisdom, insisting 'its just the piss talking, mate'.
