Why is Lillian allowing this to happen?

[PseudoBadger]

FFS Lil, he's just a bit on the side. If he pisses you off just bin him. Don't start sounding so downtrodden.

When the Hired Thug first spoke I did think it might be Darrell but he seemed to change voice after the first sentence.

Darrell is such a wimp, he probably cringes about mowing the daisies.

IIjkk i'm a wimp I cringe about mowing the daisies

Soooo what does anyone reckon to Pip having a fling with the champion of the single wicket who 'pretended' he was 'rusty' at it

I reckon Lilian 'll end up without either of her crazy boyfriends; serve her right

Words cannot express my joy at finding a whole section of Archers discussions on Mumsnet! Anyone else here a refugee from the BBC boards?

Thoroughly agree with how sinister the "Nic goes to Church" storyline is - "Junior Church" sounds particularly brainwashy. Though I actually do like Alan - rather liked the AmEx storyline about him and his wayward pal from University.

Very disappointed that Matt is turning into a pantomime hitman villan - have the SWs completely forgotten Costa Rica, when he showed a bit of genuine love and vulnerability? I always thought that the actor was one of the better ones, and it would be interesting to hear him play scenes where he confronts Lil, devastated about the affair and shames her by showing how hurt he is. Instead we're going to get "hit man plan goes awry" and Matt probably back in the chokey.

hello jessie but Matt is a fraudster and was in clink, but you're right the S.Ws are playing with the characters' personalities now more.

The local church isn't the moonies is it? Just a community centre with a misguided but very 'normal' theme!

I can't remember what happened in Costa Rica, please remind me.

Hi Jessie welcome to the Archers Radio Addicts pages. I think people do sometimes mention other programmes within these hallowed cyberwalls, but not often!

Hello Jessie, I think there are quite a few Mustard refugees here, although names have been changed!

I admit I am probably projecting my own militant atheism on to the poor organless Ambridge Church! The idea of the whole village rushing to make flowery saint tableaux is quite bizarre, though, and I look forward to hearing the scriptwriters' attempts to put descriptive words into the characters' mouths. it's a bit disappointing they never did more with Jim's atheism, he is far more church-tolerant than he promised to be.

IIRC correctly, in Costa Rica Pusscat made it clear that she couldn't face a life on the run away from Ambridge and Tiger at the last minute swallowed his fear and came home to face the music rather than be free without her. Which is pretty bloody impressive given the likely ablundance of nubile senoritas who would have been willing to keep a flash old bloke company into hos old age with few questions asked.But I may have misrembered.

"organless Ambridge Church" ha ha is that a comment on Alan's masculinity! Shall we call him 'Action Man Alan' :o

And yes Jessie, I came to MN from ML when this thread was linked :o

I missed that thread pseudobadger. Priceless.

Perhaps Lillian should post in Relationships?

I'm a refugee too. I've spent a fortune on my new cyber-ID papers.

It took me a little while to cotton on psuedo (and if you hadn't linked to it i would 've taken longer DUH ) Also could someone explain Mustardland to dim old me please?

I remember Costa Rica now; yes Matt showed uncharacteristic sensitivity but was it because he had to follow the money she held the purse strings?

Mustardland (or "ML") was the mickname for the old BBC Archers message board because it was a mustard-yellow colour. It is also the name of the gigantic condiment warehouse where Tom buys his relishes for Gourmet Grills.

Oh thanks Jessie That's the message board that they've discontinued? I never went on it I spose you guessed!

You missed a treat, ppeat. All human life was there. And some great Archers parodies.

Paul was getting very intense this evening, is he going to turn up on Lillian's doorstep again?

I never expected Tom to turn up at the wrong moment!

Misty mustard-coloured memories
Of the way we we-e-ere

Could someone please explain what happened tonight because I'm confused but cba to Listen Again. Who was banging on Matt's door. Where were Paul/Tom - in Felpersham? How/why did Tom get there? If Ambridge, why did Paul say he needed money for the parking meter.
Really confused.
