New thread!

That is a good idea panzee and cutteduppear - Lilian was never a wuss so why all this sudden need to mooch after Matt is a bit Hmm.

Wasn't it annabel on the board? was it Matt or Brian who lusted? I would like to see anthea deal with her.

Or indeed anything that meant less cathy.

CuttedUpPear · 19/08/2013 08:37

Yes Annabel that's right. I think they have all had a bit of a lust after her. I think Anthea would be a great match for her.

ppeatfruit · 19/08/2013 10:58

Yes Annabel the woman who Matt would 've got his legover if they hadn't been caught pre nookie by needy dopey Lil (who oddly IIRC ignored it).

I reckon Anthea has an agenda though; remember she used to work for a"large property company in Birmingham."

Panzee · 19/08/2013 11:08

Maybe Anthea could buy out Matt?

ppeatfruit · 19/08/2013 11:37

It seems to me that the SWs have painted LIl as a woman who NEEDS a man (doesn't matter what type or how off the wall or dishonest). She was 'normal' before the lurve affairs. There are such women.

LondonMother · 19/08/2013 20:40

Helen is behaving atrociously to Pat and Tony. I was shouting at the radio again tonight. Duplicitous trollop!

ppeatfruit · 20/08/2013 14:34

Aaah LondonMother she's in luuurve Grin.

I enjoyed the episode though with the 'pained' Linda getting buttered up by Caroline (mind you she's had the shortest bout of shingles I've ever heard of!).

JessieMcJessie · 20/08/2013 15:43

Going back to a previous conversation on here about the fact that the scriptwriters appear to have written Kirsty as having inexplicably forgiven Tom all his past transgressions, I did gain new hope the other day that she is in fact playing a very crafty game, viz her curry-talk of 'well, I thought you better hear it from me, Brenda's in London with an exotic new Russian boyfriend" [strangled yelp from Tom] "Oh, Tom, I should never have told you, I've gone and totally ruined your evening now...". Mwah ha ha

ppeatfruit · 20/08/2013 15:54

Yes I noticed Kirtstie's delight in relaying that juicy nugget of information!

GrimmaTheNome · 20/08/2013 19:58

Just back from holiday... has anything happened over the last fortnight that needs explaining or was really funny (saw Jessie's post re kirsty, hehe, but life's too short to read back rest of thread)

ppeatfruit · 20/08/2013 21:42

Grimma I said Hellin's in lurve more like in lust with Rob. What made her reckon she could ''go it alone" when she's so physically needy with him I wonder? Caroline and DH are going away to Italy (she's had shingles).
In Ambex London has become the knocking capital of England with Matt still in that big river in Egypt (Lil has joined him doing the needy woman thing but she has a very efficient new secretary who's likely to take over the firm if Lil doesn't watch it Grin name of Anthea) and Brenda fallen for a seriously rich Russian who 's a bit suspicious but not as bad as the gang Matt's got mixed up with who are the Barbarians!!!!

Thinking about it there's a lot more sex around than there used to be Hmm.

R4 · 20/08/2013 22:01

Kathy is being as pathetic as ever with Mr I'm-from-Head-Office-and-I'm-here-to-help-you. So far it's 1-0 to him (he discovered a fraud that she missed).
Oliver has persuaded Caroline to go on holiday. GG will be managed in the interim by someone that somebody knows. It has disaster written all over it. We are guessing that he is after Brine's leching title.
Hellin is, to quote BoreofWhabylon, a "marriage wrecking strumpet". We have had to endure the sound effects. bleugh.
Jolene and Kenton have finally remembered that LL do weddings so they are having their nuptials there. The groom2be appointed the bridesmaid and the bride2be appointed the Best Woman.Confused
Daniel did well in his A Levels and is going to Nottm to read Law after his gap yah.
But the best bit was ... silent movies on the radio.Grin

PrincessFiorimonde · 21/08/2013 08:34

Helen really is acting like someone who's just discovered what sex is, isn't she?

I know it's been said before, but surely when Helen and Rob fell into each other's arms, neither of them was thinking of contraception. So King Henry is probably due a little sibling round about lambing time next year.

arf at 'marriage wrecking strumpet' - but does Jess actually exist?

also arf at 'duplicitous trollop' - and at the number of ante-natal friends that friendless Helen has recently discovered.

GrimmaTheNome · 21/08/2013 10:20

Thanks for the updates Smile.

ppeatfruit · 21/08/2013 11:11

Oh R4 you forgot that Kenton has appointed JAMIE as best MAN !! WTF??

ppeatfruit · 21/08/2013 11:15

Just had a thought Princess There's nothing to stop "jess' just turning up and catching them 'en flagrante' is there? Grin Shock

Gigondas · 21/08/2013 11:29

Good thought ppeat. Helen is as usual demonstrating her usual powers of utter selfishness.

The whole gg cover manager thing is setting up for an issue but I bet nothing actually happens. And as for sodding cathy - yes bloke is a git but has some points.

ppeatfruit · 21/08/2013 11:55

"I bet nothing actually happens" .....Like the Friday night that would've been better written by us, in fact we would make much better SWs!!

ppeatfruit · 21/08/2013 14:28

Brilliant thanks Ponders She's sooo good. I love her.

ppeatfruit · 21/08/2013 14:30

WTF is going on in TA????? In one ep. they've introduced sooooo many people 'Furriners' as the blessed Susan said (it's nice to have her back) Not to mention the cahs that are arriving soon Grin Grin.

R4 · 21/08/2013 18:00

Ha! I love Anthea being described as "Mary Poppins in pince-nez"

ppea I hadn't forgotten about the Best Man, I was ignoring his existence for the sake of poetic symmetry.Grin Fallon is not Chief Bridesmaid or Matron of Honour. She is Best Woman.
Jamie is Best Man, surprisingly he was actually appointed by the groom2b. But, as you say, wtf. I don't care if Jolene is his step-mum or Kenton is his pseudo-dad, he is an immature colt and not my idea of Best Man material.

Gigondas · 21/08/2013 20:37

I did enjoy a return to proper TA plots-namely jenny darling worrying about her garden and Shula flogging concert tickets.

Somethingyesterday · 21/08/2013 20:45

Yes.... But I want to know if we're getting a replacement gardener who"s a nine day wonder or a permanent character who will go on to found an Ambridge dynasty.

And Shula was far too easily persuaded re the volunteering. I always worry when she's within twenty feet of the lovely Vicar.

WhatSheSaid · 21/08/2013 22:46

Ha, I noticed Shula's "oh, yes, congratulations on your anniversary' through gritted teeth. She was v opposed to the marriage I recall.

Would be fab if the gardener was some fit young thing who Jenny Darling went on to have Lady Chatterley-esque relations with Grin.
