Big Farma in Little Ambridge - come and talk The Archers talk

[PseudoBadger]

New thread for the beginning of the pheasant season.

I've just finished reading Cranford again and Amb. reminds me of that a bit fgrin].

True. He is lovely with Joe.

Doesn't Alistair have a sister? It would be interesting, in true soap style, to hear something of her now that Mark's parents are gone. (Think there's a sister there too?)

Also, poor jilted Christinecould do with an appearance from her musically absent son.

Sorry ppeat, x'ed. Only seen Cranford briefly on TV. (But it's not a flattering comparison surely. Weren't there bonnets?)

The book bears no comparison to the TV series (of course) it's the middle aged (and older)women after the men.

Has anyone been listening to Self-Control? I have to admit that I find it hilarious to hear Adam Macey being the impassioned Colonel ripping at the heroine's dress on a Scottish moor.

Man!!

I only listened to the start - will keep an ear out for Adam

I have not caught up on the Jim, Jill episode. But I am now in flagrante surely Jill can't see properly.
Jill: why Jim, are you pleased to see me?
Jim: that's the gear stick, my dear.

:o

Ok so thread titles...

How about "Dog Murder Most Horrid" or "They Shoot Gun Dogs Don't They" or "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Darrell?"

Or "Jill and Jim went for a spin
She didn't notice the gear stick,
They enjoyed the ride,
But she felt sick,And then ran over a llama.

I'm rather cross. I feel you tikes rather oversold the Jill and Jim episode

Yes BitOutOf I just heard it (after writing the masterpiece above ) I could 've rhymed Riley and smiley ). There wasn't any much raw sex was there?

I've read racier knitting patterns!

Pseudo -

How about "Festive Dog Murder Most Horrid" or "They Shoot Panto Gun Dogs Don't They" or "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Darrell's Drunk Dancing at Christmas ?"

D'ya see where I'm going with the theme???

Yes I see the theme.... We could use my "they're not turkey pluckers, they're turkey pluckers' sons"

Do it! (Not much room left for naysayers....)

That's the one Pseudo. Post a link though for those of us with the brains of Joe Grundy

wow....what about Shula then?

What about "they're not plucky Tuckers, they're turkey pluckers' sons"

"Phil was the official Ambridge brain"!
True, Zero, but what a terrible state of affairs!
I hope much-nicer-Jim isn't going to two-time poor old Auntie Cardboard. That would make a great AIBU - the LTB crew would have a field day!

I don't reckon that Auntie cardboard is up for a 'relationship' though or maybe it's Jim who isn't up for a relationship with Christine bluestocking

I think Auntie C is absolutely gagging for it, ppeat!

Yes she's more of a no strings girl :o
