Don your paisley tabards, feel the static crackle, and join our Archers thread team hug.

[PseudoBadger]

Chocolate Chip cookie anyone?

[YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut]

"I'm happy to be project manager".

Bet you are. Knob.

[BlackeyedSusan]

I suspect it was not atrip injury at all.... A bit like the proverbial cupboard door.

bastard.

helen seems incapable of saying anything that disagrees with rob and the bastard has weedled his way into the shop planning.

[BrendaandEddie]

obv he pinned her down

Ooh he is bad

[SimoneDeBeaver]

yuck, he was hideous. Hope Tom starts noticing other things.

stirs poison

[BlackeyedSusan]

telling her to do the school uniform, a task suitable for a woman... taking the task away from tom.. will he pull another stunt with the builders like like hiring the useless manager at organics?

[Gruach]

I have made a Three (actually two) Lentil Bake. In solidarity.

(Oh, a belated Welcome to Brenda. )

[PseudoBadger]

Suitable thread titles please?

[PseudoBadger]

Any suggestions Brenda

[BrendaandEddie]

looks Coy

How about " The Archers - September 2015"

[BrendaandEddie]

i wish one day that a woman raped in a drama WOULD go straight to the polic
I know the stats etc but COME ON HELEN

[PseudoBadger]

I reckon I can work with that Brenda thank you

[SimoneDeBeaver]

'Come on, Helen, before we have to open the MN Knob Assassin Account, or send SS round for Henry.'

[DadDadDad]

I reckon Helen got the bruise from the puppet strings that Rob seems to delight in operating in front of Tom.

[stilllearnin]

What am I missing with Rob and Tom. 2 weeks ago Tom was quite cagey about letting Rob come to the meeting and now he is letting him outvote him (!) and basically run the project? It does not seem quite right somehow. Although Rob making a thorough hash of the shop will be quite gratifying.

[PseudoBadger]

I could re-visit the first ever thread.

Why is Helen Allowing This To Happen?

FFS Helen - He's just a controlling knob. If he carries on just kick him in the nuts. Don't start sounding so downtrodden

Vintage

[Travelledtheworld]

Ha ha nice sarcastic comment from the continuity announcer this evening
" isn't Rob a great help?"

[Gruach]

The (new) Cook, the Thief (of Bridge Farm's brilliant future), His Wife and Her Mother (or Brother, or Anyone Who Can Get the Better of Him) ... ?

Or something snappy about An (Upcycled) China Shop in The Bull. ?

[Gruach]

Sorry Pseudo - slow typing so didn't see FFS

(I can scarcely remember my life before that first thread.)

[SliceOfLime]

Just catching up on the thread and it's nearly over - haven't heard tonight's yet but am still chilled fromThursday's... I listened to it with my parents and sister as we were all sitting down for dinner and my mans I insisted on a respectful silence while we listened... Cue awkward / yuk silence after that 'Rob?!'

I can't believe that Pat didn't pick up anything was amiss, or that she thought it was ok to be so rude to Jim.

[piebald]

I think the new title should be Knob, knob de knobdy knob - to the tune of, yes you have guessed it!

[PseudoBadger]

The Smurfs?

[EBearhug]

What am I missing with Rob and Tom. 2 weeks ago Tom was quite cagey about letting Rob come to the meeting and now he is letting him outvote him (!) and basically run the project?

There was a conversation between Pat and Tom after the consultants first came in, where Tom was going on about how Rob had actually been quite helpful.

[PseudoBadger]

It's either poor characterisation (surely not?!) or it's the eggshells surrounding Helen that no one must step on.
It could also be that Tom is no longer as confident as he once was after his little jilting incident.
And of course the whole family worships people with astute business brains such as Peggy, and now Rob.

[TheOnlyOliviaMumsnet]

Sorry isn't KATHY the health club manager at GG????

[LillianGish]

Was it my imagination or was there something v pointed in Helen's tone when she talked to Knob about "pinning down the builders".
