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

ppea Smile I WAS a bit puzzled by your 14.13 post, but I've started trying not to reply in haste because all too often I find I've misunderstood something ....

Just read the Amex spoiler thread.

The broadcast was slightly less awful than they have been in the past. But given the "fanciful" discussion re "the end of The Archers" (I linked above) it's all a bit worrying....

ppeatfruit · 03/07/2013 17:05

OMG something what would we have to moan about FGS!!!!!

ppeatfruit · 03/07/2013 17:10

Another apology for not reading your link immediately is in order !!

Somethingyesterday · 03/07/2013 17:23

ppea Scary huh?

Not sure why I didn't pick up on project fanciful when it started. But SOMEONE must be thinking about this. Smoke / fire....

Oh! NOW I see! The POINT of the Paul /Lillian story was TO MAKE US LISTEN ON FOUR EXTRA. They're going to move the whole thing over.....

ppeatfruit · 03/07/2013 17:25

NNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!You're joking right????

Somethingyesterday · 03/07/2013 17:36

I've just seen someone on another thread saying they like Amex. But everyone else has stated that they "only" listened becausebecausebecause...

How on earth can we not listen when we've been discussing Paul /Lilian for months?

Of course, if TA was moved, and subsequently proved unpopular in it's new home.....

ppeatfruit · 03/07/2013 17:44

IMO it IS popular look at how long this thread is Grin

Somethingyesterday · 04/07/2013 19:23

Hah! Just as I said. All the (insultingly unlikely) story was on Amex - while R4 had the most boring episode of the decade..

No-one who listened for the first time this evening would ever come back for a second go.

ppeatfruit · 05/07/2013 14:34

Something at the risk of disagreeing with you (and I blame the SW's worship of EE and Corrie type sensation for this) let's not fall into the trap of calling 'normal' Ambridge life boring. IMO the battle between good taste, in the guise of Linda Snell, and low brow taste embodied by Jazzer is quite entertaining Grin.

Somethingyesterday · 05/07/2013 14:49

ppea Smile Oh please feel free to disagree with me! (I've been reading the "Are you well liked" thread and feeling very, very small....)

You're probably right. I've noticed that most of my Ambridge posts are a bit "Emma." Perhaps I'm just out of synch with the SWs at the moment.

ppeatfruit · 05/07/2013 16:00

I started reading that thread and i couldn't reach a firm enough conclusion in my own mind to enter into the discussion!!! I'm sorry is being "Emma" referring to J.A.'s book ?

ppeatfruit · 05/07/2013 16:03

I would add that I'm as old as TA so maybe it's the yoofs like you that hunger for excitement I know DD1 says i should be helping her doing C4's compliance Grin.

OliviaYouCannotBSeriousMumsnet · 05/07/2013 16:06

Something dodgy is going to happen with this Russian that's for sure.

ppeatfruit · 05/07/2013 16:10

Yup I thought that too Olivia! serve the double crosser right!

RocknRollNerd · 05/07/2013 16:17

New recap in t'other thread for the refuseniks who want to know what happened 'yesterday'.

Abra1d · 05/07/2013 16:18

I love Jazzer. Actually I like Linda, too.

ppeatfruit · 05/07/2013 16:28

I'm not sure I'd apply THAT particular adjective to Jazzer though abraid Grin but I also like the clash of cultures.

ppeatfruit · 05/07/2013 16:33

Quick they're discussing Tigerlil and Amex on Feedback R4 NOW!!!

Somethingyesterday · 05/07/2013 17:24

Not J.A.! Meant miserable complaining Emma (as opposed to cheerful compliant Nic....)

Missed Feedback. Will iPlay.

Just looked on BBC site. "Vitaly / Meerkat Man" is ACTUALLY Russian.

ppeatfruit · 05/07/2013 17:42

Oh dear I'm not on the right wavelength am I something? Grin ! The Feedback article was quite enlightening (it said a lot more about TA spokeswoman than I imagine she'd have liked!!!!)

SomewhereBeyondTheSea · 05/07/2013 20:26

What did Feedback say, anyone give a synopsis (please!!)?

SomewhereBeyondTheSea · 05/07/2013 20:27

I hope it said that it was an effing travesty btw ...

ppeatfruit · 05/07/2013 21:06

somewhere i gave a precis on the spoiler thread. the spokeswoman was an airhead halfwit TBH who didn't answer good questions put to her by the presenter and a complainer!

Somethingyesterday · 05/07/2013 21:21

Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

PrincessFiorimonde · 05/07/2013 21:53

ppeatfruit, that is a totally accurate description of her (she's the acting editor, I think).

Even DP was shouting at the radio, and he pretends not to listen to TA.
