Oh. Hello. I didn't know we'd invited another The Archers thread round darling. How nice to see you. Discuss Ambridge here.

[PseudoBadger]

As tribute to the best SL at the moment...

Kate leaves every other TA character standing by my patented rating measure of how loudly and often I shout at the radio when they speak. I loathe her and always have, but I do enjoy loathing her, for some very perverse reason. HWMNBN, on the other hand, set my teeth on edge.

I thought it was Kate.

OldTom used to sound as if he was reading the script. So that's a win for the casting bod ...

RoboPip is fast replacing Kate as Ambridge Face I'd Most Love To Punch. (Disclaimer: I would never actually punch anyone; and I know neither Robo nor Kate are real.)

Pip - "he set the standard and he believed in himself!"
David - "yes... Yes he did" (in very contemplative way!)

David's gonna back out and keep Brookfield!! He is! He is!! (I hope)

Susan today! Digging for dirt on Lillian and Matt!!

I used to live near the Met's stables and they clip clopped down my street en masse v early but I like the sound much better than a diesel.

I loved the chilli euphemism tho I'm not sure I'll be able to make one for a while

And last weeks favourite line: JD to Kate: 'I am your mother and you know I love you but sometimes I wonder if you can hear the words that come out of your mouth?'

Just delicious

There's been so much good stuff lately that I've been forgetting to BOOP individual days.

Hope you're happy with this new era BitOut?

Oh I am. Very much so. Both on air and here. I'm travelling with work a lot at the moment but catching up where I can.

Just about to listen to tonight's episode on catch up

My BOOP point today is Susan. In the shop looking for gossip. And the barely concealed chilli lust. Just marvellous!

I am now wondering if David is going to suggest that if they went for open air milking at Brokeintwofield then the road would be less of a problem because the open air bit could go on the other side alleviating the problem of bringing them in all the time. Move the parlour not the cows.

or use robotic milking on that side (seeing as they need more than one anyway)

It's so tenuous and implausible and buit of a pile of shaky shoehorned premises that it should fit right in.

Wonder if Neil gets to eat chilli in his xmas jumper. It's pure wool

Were you very ... masterful? Will never look at chilli in the same way again.

Poor Neil - wool jumper and chilli? He'll be itchy both on the inside and the out.

Blimey this thread is going off on some amazing flights of fancy (I'm not sure about it being recessional) actually i'm not sure what that means in relation to this thread really.!!!!

So the Ruth character has fallen down the sinkhole and we have Peep, well I think it's peep not some out of work actress standing in for the other one, which could go on ad infinitum! and poor overworked David holding the fort at Brookfield.

Love Susan and her suggestive Chilli!

Loved Neil setting out to be 'masterful' , actually not needing to at all as NewTom had preempted their discussion, and then not quite 'fessing the whole truth up to Susan....Will Susan, usually as sharp as a tack, see through this or will Neil be rewarded with lashings of extra hot chilli ......

What would a pure wool Christmas jumper look like ?? White with a large reindeers' red nose and antlers on it?

Just right for a business meeting with Father Christmas

OBlueStocking, by the power invested in me by MN I diagnose you with..........MultiplePersonalityDisorder.

Thanks for the brain bleach.. just wondering if anyone has any brain wire wool they could supply as well.. ERGH.

I hate PIP!

BlueStocking - would love to see Kate's posts on MN

Just as long as she doesn't get banhammered for it, Olivia

Isn't a recessional the bit played on the organ as people leave church?

I was thinking of "lest we forget" from the poem of that title by Kipling

Perhaps nauticant meant something less retro?

I have come on here because I feel dirty after listening to the chilli smut in my car.

Dear god.

Can't explain the full horror to anyone in real life. Just needed to try to excise it from my brain.

Well blimey it's not like it's on telly or anything; I'm old and not shocked get over it you lot!!

I did wonder what the "ingredients" for the chilli were??

I'm ashamed to say I guffawed out loud when I heard the chilli scene again today. Thankfully I was alone in my kitchen

Do you reckon Susan and Neil are into a little light s&m? I was thinking that EdnEmmur's protracted stay must have put rather a dampener on their chilli-making
