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

[PseudoBadger]

Come and enjoy awkward dinner parties galore!

....or something about being "the wrong type of listener"?....

(Fo shizz.)

I'm never going to be hip am I?

I've not read CCF either. Should I?
Its a month to go till the wedding so maybe something referencing that? Although a thread lasts about 3 weeks at the moment so unlikely it will be the same thread by then.

'I ha' scranletted lower field before I even ate soup today'

He's doing it! Exactly as we said. separating her from all her friends and anyone who cares about her.

And ringing to check up on her.....tick. Guilt-tripping about Henry needing lunch...tick.

Vile man.

She is truly oblivious.

I don't undetsrand why Tom and Kirsty are going for a new build. Is this going to turn into some kind of morality play about the dangers of the British obsession with home ownership?

Zero don'tcherknow-it's hip to be a square
I'll be back next Sunday after the omnibus film.

Oh oh oh... I'm a lurker on this thread. But one of the questions at a quiz last night was "Who runs The Bull in The Archers" and I outed myself as an Archers fan(atic). There was silence. No-one else on the table had even heard of Kenton and Jolene.

Rushed home, told DP, and he hadn't heard of them either! Does he never listen to the radio when it's on??? Are we basically incompatible??? I still remember being traumatised by the death of Zebedee Tring - I was very young at the time. Sigh!

I do wonder whether Kirsty will chuck Tom at the altar, aware he still holds a candle for Brenda. Leaving Tom in debt, wifeless, and with a new build, rather than his dream home on the farm. Guess that's just wishful thinking, as I like Kirsty.

Zebedee Tring? Wow - impressive credentials Cretaceous. No-one saw me looking him up on Wiki...

Well it has sort of happened before with Caroline and Robin, but K does seem to love the fool. Agree it would be a fabulous story.

I had a horrid thought today. Other than Shula's ectopic and Christine miscarrying I think they haven't done death of a child or baby. (Not counting John)
So - are we looking at stillbirth as a storyline? I desperately hope not. It would be unbearable. I wondered though if they could be drawing on Gary Barlow and his wife - they were expecting a fourth with older dc and her in her forties and suffered a still birth. I really do hope not.

That's my fear for Ruth with this storyline. Really hope that isn't the case

The line "I want this baby more than anything" was a bit of a giveaway, I fear .

I too have a bad feeling about this

Oh crumbs Going to be a long 8 months.........

stilllearnin - perfectly used I thought. I managed to use "Fo shizz" in a sentabce but just to DP who looked at me as if I was mad and said, very slowly, "I do not know what you are talking about" - the shame.

I hope there is no still birth story - I don't think I could take that.

Zero don'tcherknow-it's hip to be a square I thought it was hip to be an intuitive pentagon?

Am worried for Ruth too. Also, did anyone else think Lily suspects that it's Peep who's pg? Awkward.

Yes Lily definitely overhead a couple if conversations and was suspicious.

For sure Lily will spread a rumour that pip is upduffed. Ruth won't want to set the record straight till second trimester.

I want Leonie and James to come for an Easter visitation so we can have the PFB 'elderly primagravida' (urghhh... I'm so glad no medic dared call me that to my face) couple versus the solid been there-done-that-doing-it-again without any more drama R&D.

And Lily is such a madam!

Why redcliffe, thank you! Good spot beau coup - that'll be all round the village and then Ruth will be forced to announce her pregnancy - starting with Susan Carter obv. I hope all our speculating about Ruth is wrong- I was bad enough worrying about Helen's baby. I have since childhood had a crush on Ruth's accent - i'll be in pieces!

Not sure what to make of tonight's ep and Ian. He has at least kept in with Helen so can still save her.

Oh a cross post with Errol. You made me laugh pages back telling an omnibus listener not to read the thread until they've heard the film! My family find me looking at my iPod chuckling - they've stopped asking what at!!

I think Ian knows that he is on to a loser if he tries to tell Helen what he really thinks of Rob. Why is she forcing the whole thing ? She must have her doubts surly and lying to Rob about where she was is madness although I could see why she would.

Ps - no worries stiller - I'm clearly down with the kids.

I've noticed that about you redcliffe! I think it was a bit surprising how Helen wanted to check out Rob's story with Ian- like she has some lurking suspicion. Oh god! I will start feeling sorry for her soon- I can feel it coming on!
