Ooh an Archers thread!

My mate plays Leon in The Archers.

Ponders · 23/08/2013 23:31

Leon????

was that the Aussie baddie?

Ponders · 23/08/2013 23:32

(he was about 3 years ago!)

Somethingyesterday · 23/08/2013 23:35

Leon?

Ah...

I sincerely hope he has some other work?

showtunesgirl · 23/08/2013 23:57

Oh yes, he's been busy. Yes, the Aussie one.

Gigondas · 24/08/2013 07:09

I agree missmouse that only hand story come out about Jess. I want pat and tony to find out so crap can hit the fan.

How much longer can they spin the golf club story out?

Pancakeflipper · 24/08/2013 07:20

Is Kirsty after Tom ?

All this texting each other and flimsy marketing ideas that involve mtg at the pub.
Isn't she seeing Patrick?

I cannot listen to Helen slurping over Rob, though reckon its going to be a great story line for Christmas.

R4 · 24/08/2013 07:33

The golf club story is really annoying me. How much authority does Martyn actually have? Is he self-appointed? If you were Kathy, wouldn't you be going over his head to the committee to check that his decisions are OK with them. Is there a strategy or plan, or is it lots of little pennypinching niggles?

And wouldn't you, as part of the new efficiency drive, insist that certain people's tabs were paid off on a weekly basis?Hmm

I presume that it is one of those lecture-hidden-in-a-storyline things they do, like when the Ministry of Agriculture slip in their latest bit of farming advice.

ppeatfruit · 24/08/2013 08:13

If TA are annoying you anyone listening to Ambex? That's just beyond the pale and you know how usually easy Iam on the SWs.!!!!

WhatSheSaid · 24/08/2013 08:44

Yes I agree, I normally quite like Amex but this one is just dragging on and on. At least 4 episodes too long.

ppeatfruit · 24/08/2013 08:51

And the teddy on the bed in place of a horse's head FGS Shock Its an awful mix of irony, crap comedy and TA reality Hmm Confused

Pancakeflipper · 24/08/2013 11:34

Is Martin going to get together with Kathy? All this niggling at each other?
Or is Kathy heading towards a breakdown?

Though at least there's Kenton and Joleen being cheery.

HumphreyCobbler · 24/08/2013 11:40

YY R4. Golf club story is INTENSELY irritating.

ppeatfruit · 24/08/2013 14:07

Oh no pleease Pancakeflipper don't say that, Martin is irritating enough without being Kathy's partner Shock

I agree Humphrey It's about time Kathy grew a pair and walked out (I reckon he's angling for that anyway). She'll have a teacher's pension won't she,must be approaching retirement anyway.

nennypops · 24/08/2013 18:15

Kathy needs to do more than just walk out, she needs to wait till the most inconvenient moment leaving Martin to cope on his own, and kick him somewhere painful before she goes.

Ponders · 24/08/2013 20:47

that's what Brenda did to Lilian (apart from the kicking) but then Lilian found sodding Anthea

in TA World, Martin would also find an Anthea

grrrr

MrsCampbellBlack · 25/08/2013 08:41

Kathy is going to catch Martin not adding his drinks to his tab again and accuse him of stealing.

I mean she practically did that in Friday's episode.

And now even Brian feels sorry for Kathy.

MrsCampbellBlack · 25/08/2013 08:46

And Jennydarling and those roses - honestly - she is so useless. How hard would it be to find a replacement gardener, a proper one that is?

OliviaMMumsnet · 25/08/2013 09:54

Is the temp manager at Grey Gables going to do them over do we think?
Yes I had noticed that Martin has been helping himself at the bar for a while.
And yes, Darrell would have done the garden or Jamie?
And also surely Hellens car is gonna be spotted outside Rob's house - hardly jewellery making central is it?

Somethingyesterday · 25/08/2013 10:06

Ray-of-the-regrettably-non-committal-references? Remember what his wife asked Oliver about Linda...

"Is she....... young?"

Ray won't have time to do them over; he'll be too busy chasing frilly aprons.

As regards Helen; by Christmas Pat will be frantic for her hand made present; H will buy something in "that little out of the way shop that Mum will never go into", Cathy and Pat will visit the shop..... And Christmas will be a little frosty.

ppeatfruit · 25/08/2013 10:11

I'm on here just as the omnibus is starting, talk about TA overload Grin (i'm in Fr. so we're an hour ahead).

MrsCampbell I was going to say WRF to Jenny's spraying problems she shouldn't be degrading the environment with her effing sprays anyway she's just like her crappy herbicide happy husband (they never show a sprayer ill from the bad effects do they?).

Olivia I reckon that the new manager at GG will spark a walk out of the staff and Linda will put Cathy in charge

Somethingyesterday · 25/08/2013 10:24

Yes yes! Cathy to the rescue at GG is something I've been looking forward to.

Bound to be disappointed......

PseudoBadger · 25/08/2013 10:36

My issue with that is that Linda so clearly wants the top job. So she may 'allow' Kathy to do her job so she can move up, but I don't think she'd be happy to have her as the boss.

OP posts:
ppeatfruit · 25/08/2013 10:41

Maybe they could 'share' the job Grin

Somethingyesterday · 25/08/2013 11:01

ppea A job-share would be a brilliant idea!

BTW I wonder how many Mnetting Archers fans there are within a 20 km radius of you? You could have an impromptu meetup!
