NOOOO David

[missthing]

Oh God, I've been dreading this coming, thought it might be avoided - why why why WHY did David tell her???

[PrincessFiorimonde]

At least he didn't tell her the 'are you a man or a mouse?' bit.

[Panzee]

I presume it's so he can have a total breakdown.
Someone predicted this in January. Whoever you are, you're very good.

[missthing]

Do we think he may be so eaten up by guilt he might try to top himself? Oh God.

[R4]

Poor David. I thought that things were going a bit too well for him recently.. He is going to have a major breakdown and there will be a huge family row and people will take sides, just when Pip is doing her A Levels and Daniel his GCSEs.
Please be kind to him Roooth.

[R4]

I have a feeling that Jill is going to handle this badly.

And, of course, The Inheritance is going to raise its head again. It is not too late to do a variation on Phil's will.

[GoodnightNobody]

missed tonight's episode and no time to listen on catch up. Please tell me what he said to Lizzy.

[notthehippopotamus]

Argh! I've been dreading this. Really don't like wondering what is going to happen next, I think you are right about the major breakdown. :(

[R4]

GN He has been helping over at LL again. Loathsome went to meet him in the field to bring lunch or summat (DH was distracting me by trying to talk he ought to know better) and was being uber-grateful for David's help. The more she said, the more uncomfortable he became until he blurted out "I don't deserve your kind words because ... "
Loathsome went totally dolally and screeched said (effectively) never darken my door again.

[phonemonkey]

Poor David. He just couldn't live with the guilt. I'm surprised he held out this long actually. I thought it would all come out after the inquest.

[RhinestoneCowgirl]

I didn't hear the end of tonights ep as I was dealing with a potty situation upstairs. But David is definitely heading for a breakdown, all this positive stuff recently is a red herring as he obviously hasn't dealt with things.

[midnightexpress]

Why? Did he push Nigel or summat?

[HumphreyCobbler]

her persuaded Nigel onto the roof although Nigel didn't want to go

I have not been listening because this has been hanging over me

[midnightexpress]

Oh I see. yes, I remember now.

Oh dear.

[campion]

As good as,midnightexpress.

The 'man or mouse' bit'll come out a bit later.

Trouble with David is that when his mouth isn't stuffed with cake and sandwiches he just can't help himself.

I did yell ' keep your mouth shut' but he obviously didn't hear.

"I'm so lucky to have Lizzie, my perfect family, my clipped vowels and my blissful life at LL AND a long-term job on The Archers...it's like I've been blessed with everything I could have ever wanted. All I need now is a...woops! Ooh, nearly tripped over then, I could have - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"





(I know I'm being mean, I did feel sorry for old Nige when that happened)

[missthing]

midnight no, he strongly suggested that he and nige should go up on the roof when nige was just going to sack it and drink some fizz.
Lizzie: totally unreasonable harridan.

[missthing]

cross post but speedy

[midnightexpress]

Still, never mind. David's incredibly annoying daughter will be able to take over the farm when he is put into a straitjacket, won't she? She seems frightfully up on CAP and set-aside for a teenager.

[RhinestoneCowgirl]

Yes, great to see the world's most irritating teenager back on the straight and narrow - and going out with a nice boy from Young Farmers too...

[SpeedyGonzalez]

You know what I miss? Ruth going "Oooowoooorrrr noooowoooorrrr!" - as parodied in Dead Ringers.

[midnightexpress]

Sounds as if you may be hearing it again vair soon speedygonzalez.

[SpeedyGonzalez]

Woo-hoo!

[R4]

The tech people at the BBC have been efficient (there's a first time for everything). It is up on i-player already.

[GrendelsMum]

Oh, I don't think that's quite fair. It was more like

Nigel: 'Lets take the banner down now, David'
Lizzie: 'But it's dark and you've been drinking. Take it down tomorrow.'
Nigel: 'Whatever you say, Lizzie'.
David: 'Actually, the farm's really busy at the moment, and it would be easier for me to do it tonight.'
Nigel: 'But Lizzie said we should do it tomorrow'.
David: 'Are you a man or a mouse?'
Nigel: 'Whatever you say, David'.

I notice that Kenton isn't overwhelmed by guilt for having put the banner on the roof in the first place. He doesn't give two hoots about it.

[SpeedyGonzalez]

Mine was more entertaining. Archers Lite.
