Why is Lillian allowing this to happen?

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

I think they usually call around and see who's available to do the topical inserts on the day.

Glad I wasn't the only person cheering at the radio Grin.

Although pretty depressing if she only goes as far as Grey Gables...

Can anyone please tell me who the hell Sabrina is?

And is Georgie and the praying being taken a bit too far?

GrimmaTheNome · 09/07/2013 23:39

Sabrina is one of the army of silent Archer's characters (though we did get to hear her miaow in the panto one year). The blokes see her as a MILF, I think.

I've quite enjoyed Emma's open exasperation at George's piety. She needs to get Jim Lloyd on board to redirect his interests into archaeology or suchlike.

StayAwayFromTheEdge · 09/07/2013 23:48

Thank you - she seems to have slipped out of my mind and I was a little perturbed by Emmur's obsession with her clothing.

I'm not impressed by Brenda's outburst. If she was half the businesswoman she thinks she is then she would have organised and planned an exit on her own terms, taking the database with her. A childish hissy fit is not what your average aspiring executive does.Hmm

A childish hissy fit is also not what you need when dealing with awkward clientele. I hope that the SW don't send her to Grey Gables. Or if they do, I hope that Lillian has a poisonous word with Caroline first.

I'm hoping that Lillian's words about the world beyond the Borchester Bypass will sting and make Brenda move out of Ambridge.

I agree R4, it was petty and unprofessional (but made for good listening!) and will have done her no favours in terms of onward progression.

I can't remember, can we discuss Amex here?

Um, dunno. I think that some people got funny about spoilers but if it's been broadcast then it's fair game as I see it. IMO, spoilers are about revealing yet-to-be-aired storylines, not already-in-the-public-domain stuff.

ppeatfruit · 10/07/2013 09:59

Yes R4 The problem with worrying about spoilers is that we all listen at different times on varying media etc. I don't care TBH (i like knowing what happens before I hear it anyway was Bren's outburst on Ambex then?)

GrimmaTheNome · 10/07/2013 10:05

If people don't want spoilers they should just stay away from these threads till after they've listened.

No ppeat I was going to refer to something that happened in Amex.

ppeatfruit · 10/07/2013 11:32

Sorry psuedo i don't think there are any rules about referring to Amex are there? (maybe on the other spoiler thread)!
Ref. Bren being unprofessional; she may be taking her lead from the extremely unprofessional Lilian, who has allowed her personal life to totally colour all her attitudes, for a long time.

Gigondas · 10/07/2013 18:21

I agree with ppeat- Brenda had one outburst compared with all Lilian has thrown at her (and I like Lillian).

HearMyRoar · 10/07/2013 18:36

Well obviously it wasn't career move of the century, but sometimes a childish hissy fit is well and truly deserved. I say this as a previous Brenda hater and massive Lillian fan but recent personality transplants have reversed my feelings somewhat.

heronsfly · 10/07/2013 19:58

I think Brenda will disappear into the sunset other side of the world with Matt.

Gigondas · 10/07/2013 20:09

Nah- I think Brenda will end up working for Caroline and Matt will re appear at some point.

ppeatfruit · 12/07/2013 12:06

What about her trip to Russia then?? we didn't predict that did we? I hope it's doesn't all come crashing down about Matt and Bren's ears Grin Would YOU give someone your passport to get a 'visa' without going along too? Hmm

I did I did! On the Amex thread :o

GrimmaTheNome · 12/07/2013 12:25

I hope it does come crashing down around Matt's ears, but not Brenda's... probably it will be the other way round.

ppeatfruit · 12/07/2013 12:35

Nah she'll meet a lovely bloke and end up settling somewhere exotic! Matt 'll end up in Russian clink doing time for Vitaly mark my words!!!

Gigondas · 12/07/2013 13:39

Hope so ppeat. I like Brenda so don't want her in trouble.

ppeatfruit · 12/07/2013 13:44

I do too Gigondas I loved the way she was gloating over the message Lil left her,listening to all the phones going.!! If you treat someone badly it tends to backfire and Lil's finding that out serve her right Grin.

During Brenda's bust-up with Lillian, she said something about stealing someone called Scott from her. What was that about? I missed a few years of the archers before internet technology caught up (I'm not in the UK).

Gigondas · 15/07/2013 10:52

Scott was a toy boy of Lillian's ego went off with Brenda years ago.

I hope nothing does happen to Brenda as I like her (dont give a monkeys about Matt).
