Is Ed's wedding very soon?

Don't forget the side salad. Grin

oddfodd · 17/05/2015 11:11

:o

ppeatfruit · 17/05/2015 11:17

Oddfod I don't mind dull (you don't want another sensational story line do you?) I like Carol taking the piss out of Jim and the twitchers who, with Robert, can be far too pompous.

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 17/05/2015 11:19

I wonder if the recipe is on the website

choccyp1g · 17/05/2015 11:22

It would make more sense for Will to walk Emma down the aisle and 'give her away'

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 17/05/2015 11:22

Three types of lentil - split red, whole green and Puy? I love lentils but it can't be denied, 'three lentil bake tonight!' doesn't make my heart sing.

ZeroFunDame · 17/05/2015 11:23

Who was Will's best man?

ZeroFunDame · 17/05/2015 11:25

Exactly Gasp0. I don't eat meat, I love lentils but Helen's dish sounds utterly grim.

oddfodd · 17/05/2015 11:25

No I don't ppeafruit (ha - my phone knows your name :o) but that very long awkward lunch with Shula and co followed by the twitchers then Kenton moaning and bloody Pip was all a bit much. The only highlight was Tony's delight with Cooper.

Usually the film gives you a chance to see the whole arcs of different storylines but this all felt a bit bitty. Then again DS woke me hideously early this morning so I might just be in a bad mood Grin

ppeatfruit · 17/05/2015 11:26

I don't remember Zero

If there's plenty of onions and garlic with the lentils then it'd be fine Gaspode

I heard 'Jill' on R4 she's nice. Zero

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 17/05/2015 11:34

Will's best man should have been Ed but he left in a hurry for Hungary (Oliver's idea) after sleeping with Emma after her hen night. Was it Roy in the end?

ZeroFunDame · 17/05/2015 11:47

I thought maybe Roy. He's a bit of a wedding jinx if so, didn't do Tom any good.

BitOutOfPractice · 17/05/2015 11:53

They seem determined to make veggie / vegan food sound so dull and unappetising don't they?

I agree the bird watching is BEYOND dull

BitOutOfPractice · 17/05/2015 11:59

can anyone suggest why The Plarchers portray Will like this?

ZeroFunDame · 17/05/2015 12:08

Hmmm Grin

They look like the hounds of Hell. Making him the Prince of Darkness? Dunno. I'm too afraid to Google.

He is a bit of a Dementor.

TheOnlyOliviaMumsnet · 17/05/2015 13:20

You are all so not going to believe what happened to me yesterday
I saw DAVID ARCHER on the tube!
Only he got on one stop before I had to get off so I couldn't make conversation (or ask him on for a web chat, which I totally would have done) because he got and then closed his eyes - and you know. Manners.
BUT it was definitely him.

ppeatfruit · 17/05/2015 13:27

Oh you should have shaken him awake Olivia and shouted in his face, that we want him for a web chat !!!! NO not really I would 've been kind as well, he was no doubt exhausted after recording another session with Kenton and on and on Grin

BoreOfWhabylon · 17/05/2015 13:27

FFS Olivia, how long does it take to ask for a webchat?!

And how did you not exclaim "Oooooh noooooo, it's Deeevid?"

TheOnlyOliviaMumsnet · 17/05/2015 14:02

I know. I know.

And it was VERY hard to not say Deeeeeeevid Grin

BoreOfWhabylon · 17/05/2015 15:08

Nothing for it, you'll just have to send him a nice, official MN email invitation instead Grin

He used to pop up every now and then on the BBC Archers forum, so maybe send him a link to here?

Or, would we rather have another character?

ppeatfruit · 17/05/2015 15:38

We could have the ones that are not frightened want to face the wrath of the MNetters Grin

So that excludes SOC of course.

enochroot · 17/05/2015 15:39

It would be fascinating to have a webchat with the actor playing Rob.

ppeatfruit · 17/05/2015 16:01

I meant to say about Pip being shown round Berrow (btw I reckon she's improving). She, the SW's, totally missed the opportunity to ask if the cows are given anti-b's routinely and what they're fed on. Did anyone see the Food Unwrapped Programme?

It showed factory raised cattle with terrible runny noses and faces, and grass raised cattle in fields looking like proper cattle.

BitOutOfPractice · 17/05/2015 16:07

Oh Olivia. You haven't just let us all down. You've let yourself down

I often use this like with the kids along with "I'm not angry, I'm disappointed". Gets 'em every time! Grin

HapShawl · 17/05/2015 16:35
