Can I PLEASE just have 13 minutes? 13 measly minutes to myself to listen to The Archers?

Come and enjoy awkward dinner parties galore!

Page 7 : Ruth at GP, after she's spent hours on phone getting past reception.'It's just a virus. A lot of people have them at present. What do you expect in the middle of lambing, at your age, with teenagers in the house'.

Has one of you mentioned Darrell? I'm getting pop-ups for caravans now.

Page 8 - I imagine if Daveed gets tetanus then the chomping sounds will have to stop. That'll be good, eh?

Basketz - I have 100 messages a page. Justsayin'!

Please, Willy, don't tell MrBasketz about the very expensive bison knitting yarn. He may want to stop me listening to TA. I wonder if Hellen's been stopped listening to TA. My main fun pursuits these days are TA and knitting (yarn purchase).

I do hope Lonely Cow is okay. I want Tone's business to work out - cos I dislike Tom more than Tone. Incidentally, the weather in Borsetshire was very like the weather in Perthshire a few days ago. Tis odd for Radio England to have the pulse of Scotland, esp the weather map, kind of spot on.

Ok - I don't care but David will be reading out "Your News" on iPm this weekend. Eddie Mair has just said so.

oh DON'T basketz, i am on a yarn diet atm so we can afford loft conversion. dp has threatened to use any more wool purchases for the insulation

i stroked some qiviut yarn at ally pally a couple of years ago. YUM. and over £100 per 100g , which is partly i think because you can't shear a musk ox, the yarn has to be foraged gathered by hand when it sheds

zero will he be eating a sandwich at the same time?

I've been googling... bison aren't milked (small teats, don't like being handled - they're not domesticated). Not to be confused with water buffalo, the milk of which is what proper mozzarella is made from.

This is probably the one thread where the question 'whats the difference between a buffalo and a bison' might be taken seriously...

Was he the much awaited cameo appearance Zero?

Yes he was!

Suspect he'll be offered a .

I never listen now it's at some ungodly hour of the morning.

ha ha Brenda - "not so independent then"

Brenda and Tom

Awkward.....

Urgh, don't like Kingsley.

What a bitch Brenda is!

I want an 'intuitive' kitchen

poor kirsty sounded miserable

kingsley is hilarious!

'it's all about the pentagon'

Aww! She's really unsettled Kirsty. Horrible cow!

well that was painful

Kirsty doesn't sound as though she has everything she wants.....

I'm going to enjoy Jenny and Kingsley though

It was only painful because of Brenda. Tom and Kirsty felt backfooted by her breezing in with her boasting and snidey remarks.

Wonderful! Brenda really knows how to get under their skin.

And now Tom's going to get into even more money trouble - just to show her what a man he is.

yy bitoutofpractice

she had no real need to go and see tom, it was so cruel. that housing development news was bollocks - lilian could have told tom herself (as he reported to kirsty)

Oh.... Brenda's never going to marry "Aidan" is she? Think of all the years of fun ahead.
