The Archers

[hellywelly4]

I've started a new thread, hope that's ok.
Just wanted to shout at Ruth tonight, she really is getting so irritating. Does she expect them to discuss every detail of everything with her!

[bookbinder]

Apart from going to the moon, she couldn't get much farther away from Ambridge!

[Prudie]

She's become a pain in the backside so good riddance. I'd be happy to go and help David fill any resulting unattended chores...

[mikey4444]

Me Too !

Think about the extra shifts poor Eddie will have to to do over the next two weeks !

[zebo]

Do we think she'll ever come back? In her defence (!), Jill hasn't helped, given all that's happened, changing the kitchen round as soon as she's moved back in and being super-mum with everything. Maybe she doesn't want David to get his hands on the inheritance, she's spending it all, give or take a few cows for Pip.

[mikey4444]

I would defend poor Jill with my very life !

It was only the other week that Ruth was complaining that the house was a tip and there was nothing to eat ! Now that she has free maid and cook back again, she is still moaning ! Dhe can begger off to NZ as soon as she likes, as far as I am concerned, and good riddance !

Jill can come and look after this home-alone batchelor any time she wants to !

[Ric.ror]

I think the Ruth story line is the weakest link at the moment
Thank goodness it seems to be coming to an end
As for Helen and Rob - well thats another story - I love this and hope they don't end it too soon
Why should there not be any baddies who get away with it in Ambridge

[mikey4444]

Baddies have been getting away with it in Ambridge for a long as I have been listening !

Look at Brian Aldridge for instance! I know he's a harmless old buffer these days but I can remember the days when nothing in a skirt ( or jodhpurs ! ) was safe !

Caroline, Betty Tucker, Mandy Beesborough, the Irish green-eyed Siren, etc, etc.

[Ric.ror]

Yes but they all turn good in the end or come to a sticky end
Lets have a baddie who remains a baddie

[bookbinder]

Does Rob really want a job, or is he going to live off Helen's inheritance?

[Hopkirk]

... and what will Rob do if (or when) he scan shows it to be a girl?

[mikey4444]

Hoppy...I dread to think !

[Ric.ror]

And now he's booking scans!!!!
I am also now finding the Grundy storyline very interesting too

[Hopkirk]

It's going to happen, Mikey.

I am beginning to see signs of Helen rebelling against him.
Are the scales falling from her eyes?

[hellywelly4]

I'm wondering if the Fairbrother geese will catch a nasty virus and die so that Eddie can sell all his turkeys after all! I can't see any way out for the Grundys as they're struggling to find somewhere to live, and I'm sure Joe won't go in a home. It all seems to be going wrong for them doesn't it.
Ruth's shock announcement wasn't so bad after all, only two weeks, unless she meets a nice fella in NZ!
Rob, well, words fail me. If it's a girl what will he do?

[jourdain2]

Re: Rob and gender of baby. I had (in my first marriage) a cousin whose husband openly announced to all that 'She'd better hope it's a boy because otherwise she'll carry on having them until she turns one out.' HONESTLY!
I was pregnant at the same time and heard him (1970's).

It's too early for a scan to tell, unless the baby is in exactly the right position anyway. I bet it's a girl and Helen get's the 'It's not your fault' dear, better luck next time' treatment.

[Hopkirk]

Amazing Jourdain, it's hard to believe there are such dinosaurs out there.

[mikey4444]

Pat kissed him ! I nearly threw up !

Yuck !

[hellywelly4]

He gets worse!

[zebo]

I've not heard tonight's yet but I still thank that Justin Elliot might either be Rob's downfall or Charlie's. The thought of Pat kissing him will keep me awake all night, a peck on the cheek, a snog or a tongues-and-all?

[mikey4444]

I've said it before and I'll say it again......that ruddy Rob Titchener is a very nasty piece of work !
