Sheeping With The Enemy - in a brand new bed? Discuss the trials and tribulations of the Archers

[PseudoBadger]

Just don't be so careless with your watch Helen

oh no, I am feeling sorry for Pat and Tony if they change the venue.

Tony sounds so cheerful about the cows.

It's a day for people taking the initiative it seems

chemi I was thinking exactly the same! Bed shopping when heavily pregnant involved me lying on the first bed in store until DH found a shortlist of two - I then "tested" the leader whilst he dicked browsed the rest of the shop. Best shopping ever

Tom is so miserable isn't he

good for Tony

Ha ha Tom, touche!

"You've got the wrong farm!"

Hee hee hee

Take that, Sausage King of Ambridge!

oooo.....spoilt brat

Finally Tony shows some backbone.

He just needs to go NC with Peggoi as well.

Hurrah for Tony!

Tom is such a petulant brat.

Anyone else remember his reaction to Rich? Noooo- we can't see him. he might want some of my inheritance!

Rich, who has disappeared again.

Copy & pasted as I posted on the other (old) thread:
How did I not know about the radio addicts on Mumsnet? I'm a fairly recent listener to The Archers (since 2002 ish-when Ruth was thinking about running off with Sam the cowman)It might've been a bit later than 2002. Never missed an episode since then, but I listen to the Omnibus editions on Sunday.
Can't wait to find out what happens with the Helen/Rob/Jess triangle.
I will be catching up with this thread after Sunday(I don't want any spoilers!) Helen irritates me beyond belief.

Tom can't just cancel the marquee without consulting Kirsty!!!

Brat

Go Tony!

Utterly brilliant. Go Tony! But I can't help thinking none of this would have happened if Tony had shown some backbone years ago. Better late than never, however. BTW, what is 'NC' in this context?

I'm going to be controversial and say that I would be seriously pissed off by Tony's passive aggressive beef herd. Tom has been going on and on abut his plans and Tony hasn't made a peep! And now Tony turns up with his lovely lot and, just to rub salt in the wound, slips in the little fact that he will only be stumping up enough wedding money to pay for a barrel of Bert's dodgy cider!

Tom has got all that money from Peggy. He will cope.

I don't think Tom has shared any detailed plans with anyone, just assumed he had the run of the farm, apart from the veg.

• he just assumed

Serves Tom damn right. Whose farm does he think it is?

I don't doubt Tom will cope, and yes he can be an arrogant little so and so, but I just loathe passive aggressive people and so Tony is my nightmare.

I stand corrected by my earlier post - it was clear that Tom had discussed his planting plan in detail - with Rob. A fact that Rob mentioned at the birthday meal, thus prompting Tony to do more 'research'.

Tony was just trying to claw back control from his overbearing son. I think it was a very satisfying moment to listen to. Although he should have told him in advance, it wouldn't have made such good radio

Oh yes! Good point Temp

Welcome toldmywrath (great n-name.) Hope you agree this is the best ever.

Och, it's just a story and rather entertaining IMO.
