Jonny has some funny moments but for a self confessed clown he is pretty miserable most of the time

This is because he was genuinely hurt at Sandys comments and Alex was joined at the hip with him. So now he doesn't want to play the clown round Alex for fear of nomination. This is the problem with the "kind caring decent " sort of chap Alex is, his terms all the time self centered narcissistic - I think the normal phrase is "up his Alimentary canal!"
