Sorry preased post too soon.

brilig Beeb website above suggests it is Molestrangler

Sorry one cross posted.

You got there first whilst I was messing with cut copy & paste.

We used to listen to Round the Horne at Sunday lunch when I was a kid.

I imagine all the innuendo went right over my head but I suspect my parents missed a lot of it too

Yes, I have a couple of the Julian & Sandy CDs and I love the fact that the really risqué stuff goes right over the audiences head. (bar the odd muffled titter from those in the know!)

Like when Julian complains that 'trade has bern very rough' at one of their enterprises or that before playing the piano declaring 'Jules is an absolute marvel at the upright cottage'

You can listen again to Round The Horne on BBC extra progs. They were fab!

Am I the only one who can't listen to round the Horne now with the kids cos the bloody well DO get the innuendo?!

Yes it comes to something when you can't listen to thinly veiled references to mutual public masturbation without kids sniggering along.

I am on Team Will. Someone has to be. Emma and Ed treated him appallingly and I hate that Clarrie never ever acknowledges this, though I do like how she clearly favours Nic over Emma. I liked the storyline where he went off to Gloucestershire and sorted himself out then came back and made it up with Nic. Nic is fab and can only be good for Will.

Will has every right to be pissed off that Ed shot his dog, and we don't know for certain that he has been winding George up about it - never actually heard on air.

Hazel was pure Dame Celia Molestrangler and I think she fancies Kenton as Ageing Juvenile Binkie Huckaback. It's about time we heard some more of Bert Froi doing his Rambling Sid Rumpo.
I would love to be able to join Will's team just to even the numbers out, but he is such a poisonous specimen I just can't bring myself to support him. I do enjoy the Nic/Emmur interactions and am looking forward to Keirer getting plainer and plainer while young Poppy Joserphine blooms into a proper bobby dazzler.

No chance Bluestocking. Ed is hotness the beautiful brother and Emma must be gorgeous to elicit such rivalry. So Keira can't help but grow up to stop hearts.

There's no evidence that either Will or Nic are any better than average looking. Although I'm sure Poppy will be a kind and generous individual.....

Wasn't the dog running loise on Ed's land when there was some sort of health scare?

I listened to the omnibus with DP this morning (he feeling v smug because he's listened all week in the car and I had missed it all).

At first DP didn't understand what the big storyline was about Hellin having an affair with a married man. I explained about the dairy dichotomy and the wife under the patio potential. DP conceded this background knowledge changed things a bit.

BUT THEN DP said he reckoned they are all being a bit down on Rob, he's just a guy after all??!!!

Compos, Alistair had explained to Ed that the chance of the average dog being a neospora carrier was minimal. Ed, boor that he is, just decided to get the rage about dogs instead of looking for an intelligent or constructive solution to his business problems. I believe that the dog was on estate land, albeit the bit of estate land rented by Ed. Can't recall the details but believe that even if Ed did think the dog was a health risk, shooting it was illegal as it is only legal for farmers to shoot dogs for worrying livestock.

Daddy? Omg! She's nuts.

I think I am team Will too. Maybe I just haven't been listening for long enough to appreciate his essential snide-ness ...

PS. Whenever I hear Hazel say 'daddy' in that syrupy way, I can't help thinking of Susannah whatsherface in House Of Cards.

I'm actually looking forward to tonight's epi

hope it's not a damp squid (sic)

Oh god, Peggy what are you doing?

Can you imagine the thread on mn?

jesus

she has always had a blind soft spot for Tom

I mean how much is Pat & Tony's farm worth? Its not as though Tom and Helen would be paupers.

How much would Peggy leave I wonder?
