A big showdown tonight I hope.

Thanks to Zero (I think?) for the great title.

The last thread slowed right down then exploded on its last day, and we've been motoring ever since: this thread is exceeding 70 posts per day. Not quite April's wedding freneticism, but well above usual.

DadDadDad · 08/10/2014 12:31

Ugh - sorry, the formatting in my table looked fine before I posted. It's meant to show for example, thread started 14 Sep averaged 52 posts per day.

ppeatfruit · 08/10/2014 12:41

yes i understood it Dad Grin I 'm wondering what happened in April, 120 posts FGS!!!!

ppeatfruit · 08/10/2014 12:46

I think Grin

Ref. Pat, she doesn't usually come out that extreme feminist stuff. Agree that Hell didn't care much for H. when he was younger She doesn't like working at the shop now Kirstie's not there???

DadDadDad · 08/10/2014 12:47

ppeatfruit - I alluded it in my post above - the wedding: how can you forget? (Kirsty's scream still rings in my ears).

ppeatfruit · 08/10/2014 12:47

Of course the wedding duh!!!!Silly me!

OddFodd · 08/10/2014 14:37

Your DD is never a year old already Pseudo! Shock

Happy birthday to her :)

Yes, the Bridge Farm finances are murky and implausible. Makes no sense that she can just announce she's leaving without prior discussion but then again Tom didn't consult. Are they legal equal partners?

Helen's going to have to be applying for schools in December for Henry. And they haven't even discussed it! So why didn't she point out that she'll be off with him for less than a year before he starts school. Or perhaps Knob will persuade her to home ed so that they never have to leave the house and catch disease and poor behaviour from other children

ErrolTheDragon · 08/10/2014 15:10

Happy birthday PsuedoBaby - who has demonstrated the universal rule that OPKs (other than classmates) age at twice the rate they should.

Icimoi · 08/10/2014 15:44

She'll probably get pregnant and be desperate to shove little Henry into school for some peace and quiet. And of course Knob will persuade her that she's a delicate pregnant little flower who can't possibly be expected to work and who must then be anchored to the home for the next 5 years minimum till miniKnob goes to school. And by then Helen will be so psyched out and lacking in confidence and self-esteem that she'll never be able to contemplate working ever again.

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 08/10/2014 16:17

Will we see the reemergence of the eating disorder?

She will no way cope with Henry seven days a week. She is not one of life's copers - she is one of life's 'rely on your parents'. Rob being around doesn't change that.

ppeatfruit · 08/10/2014 16:18

Apart from catching a drag rag in the hunt Grin Oddfodd Grin

Yes blimey Psuedo's baby is one Shock doesn't time go fast when you're enjoying yourself on here??

unitarian · 08/10/2014 17:27

Thanks for the stats, *DadDadDad.

ZeroSomeGameThingy · 08/10/2014 17:40

A whole year old?

Already?

Happy Birthday BabyBadger! Cake

(How have you enjoyed your first year of The Archers???)

PseudoBadger · 08/10/2014 17:47

I can't believe it either! She dances to the theme tune Grin but she dances to most things...

OP posts:
OddFodd · 08/10/2014 17:56

Yes good point pp. and of course she'll have to go out to buy the ingredients for his gourmet suppers

unitarian · 08/10/2014 18:15

I wonder if Adam's going to track down Charlie tonight.

Are Fallon & Kate replacing Susan and Clarrie as purveyors of gossip? They should leave it to the real pros!

Helen will prepare gourmet suppers for Rob but say she already ate with Henry.

GypsyFloss · 08/10/2014 18:33

Happy Birthday BabyBadger

BasketzatDawn · 08/10/2014 18:42

BabayPseudobeing1 means I found this thread a year ago, or the series of threads obvs. Happy Birthday to another TA fan. Grin My boys used to dance to TA - now they mostly just leave the room or grumble except for ds2 who likes listening. What age are Olivia's twins then? ?8 months.

I wonder if Pat's mention of the bottle and at home mothers (which is a ridiculous over-generalisation) means we will have a mother's ruin SL. What did happen with Hell and drink earlier? Was it after Greg died and she was drunk and driving and Tom took the blame when she ran over Mike? Details please from one of the oracles. I've forgotten how it all ended.

My betting is within the months Hell will be discussing school choices. if the SWs didn't think of it themselves they'll remember when they see it here. Grin

BasketzatDawn · 08/10/2014 18:43

Goodness, my editing skills are deteriorating. I meant BabyPseudo being one.

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 08/10/2014 18:55

Tom took the rap but Helen paid the fine and admitted it to mike

PureDeadBrilliant · 08/10/2014 18:56

Do you think that Knob has an 'Evil Master Plan'.

Or is he just making it evilly up as he goes along?

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 08/10/2014 19:02

I think he has an end goal in mind and the evil acts are spontaneous when he sees an in.

I hope we are not going to see a feminist message along pats line with Helen sinking into depression and only being happy again when she is back working full time. It's hard enough being a mum without soaps trying to suggest a certain model is the best.

Looking forward to eating Jill tonight!!

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 08/10/2014 19:03

Oh god, please tell me they're not planning another workplace romance with carol and bert!!!

ZeroSomeGameThingy · 08/10/2014 19:11

She IS a witch!

Everyone's giving up their secrets. The power this woman will have soon....

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 08/10/2014 19:13

What! David was completely unbelievable and Jill! Ha she forgotten all her other kids and grandkids will still be in ambridge! This is all such a load of crap to try and ratchet up the tension on route b. it's such a shit storyline. Grrrr
