Will this thread make it to the wedding? Will it outlive Tony?

Ha ha ha! In your face St Smugula.

Does StShula have a degree?

ARMY - somebody was right. WELL DONE

What a guess!!! Wish it was tv to see Smugla's! She was so reasonable up until that point...

Indeed, the face!!!

Maybe it's just a strategy to keep his 'gayness' in the closet a bit longer?

Woohoo we were right! St Shula's face will be a picture. Go Formerly Fat Dan!

Love the battle of the Grannies. I wonder whether they will ask Jill to stay and even worse will there be another Baybeeeee...just in time for Christmas and the best Christmas ever.

Well. None of you predicted THAT.

Oh the Gramny off was brilliant. So much subtext.

I wonder if they do ask Jill to move in full time, whether will say no 'cos it was suggested/ implied to be a good thing by Heatherpet and the implication is that she is a sad lonely woman with no social life who only has her family.

Gypsy do you in fact have a crystal ball - referring of course to your army prediction?

Heh, I think it wasn't just me who suggested it to be honest Prior to Fat Dan being talked about by Shula with regard to his running and aftershave etc I think she made a comment about it all being nice , having him safe at home . That was the kiss of death to my ears.

Never say it's good/ nice/ happy/we're very much in love ...it's a portent of bad things to come!

Indeed. Rather like the comment about Kirsty's invitation cock up - something along the lines of if that's the worst thing that happens ....

I think she made a comment about it all being nice , having him safe at home . That was the kiss of death to my ears

Well hopefully they'll manage this time for it not to be actually the kiss of death - but maybe they're forward planning to an injury which doesn't yield to the magic healing air of ambridge.

It would certainly be interesting for Dan to have a life changing injury.

Or maybe Dan will become one of those characters we hear about but not from. He'll be in Helmand or wherever and Shula will have to do a quick conversion of being proud of her son.

I did like the scenes between David and Ruth tonight.

And Dan showed commendable calm in his handling of Shula - I guess he's had years of practice.

I was hoping, until the moment he said army, that he was going to join a third world charity organisation

That might have been fun, because Shula would still have been pretty aghast but she'd have had to pretend to be entirely in favour wouldn't she?

Yes she would! (Being such a good Christian & all )

I wonder what grandpa Jim will think? He's fairly leftie...

I haven't heard it yet, but I see from this thread that my prediction was right!

I can imagine Jim saying it would be a good thing for a young man to do. I suspect that they can't have both him and Shula in agreement over how it is a bad idea so he's going to present a pro view even if that's not what he really believes.

I thinks it's amazing that they are going to let one of the Archers actually leave the enclave!

TallGiraffe you were right! Now what are your predictions on the wedding of the year and Fat Dan's chances of making it to basic training some time this year?

Jim will no doubt draw some parallel with the Roman army.

One of the happy couple is going to bail out on the day. The accidental time screw up will allow the jilted party to wait on tenterhooks for an hour to no avail. Thursday's scenes between them were so fake poor things....
Good on Dan.

The whole "wrong time on the invitations" farago did seem very shoehorned-in... But bailing out on the very day will / would be so 'Enders / Corrie / the other one.

Hope it's all insured.
