Sorry but I couldn't resist an opportunity for puns galore Grin

That's what they do in gyms, BYOS dd2 worked in one and was paid pnuts for doing everything; would give someone good experience for running a health club IMO

So is Kathy (much older than Kirstie too)!! Jessie but Tobes was smarming her. Giving her ideas maybe?

BYOSnowman · 02/10/2015 13:47

Yes - that's what she said in the interview

The big thing she has no experience of is managing people though

Minimammoth · 02/10/2015 14:19

It's all a ploy to get Kirsty back within reach of Tom I reckon. I know it's unpopular but I would like them to make it work. Also didn't Kathy have a abuse / rape storyline with a partner? Before thingy at the pub. Maybe she will spot Helens behaviours.

AskingForAPal · 02/10/2015 14:48

Er would it be foul to suggest that given his proclivity for workplace affairs, this might trigger a Roy 'n' Kirsty relationship, thereby causing much angst all round? Or is there some reason this couldn't happen (other than Roy's supposed friendship with Tom, which we so rarely hear)?

Gruach · 02/10/2015 15:01

It's definitely a possibility Pal - they're not related. The SWs might want to throw in some Roy/Tom perturbation. Can't remember how they got on in the past and Roy was hampered by the LL news last night so it was hard to tell. (Kirsty won't be impressed by the reason for his impending divorce either ...)

It would be a rather tired SL though.

AskingForAPal · 02/10/2015 15:08

I'm really tired of these rivalry storylines. But at least mates would be a change from brothers.

BYOSnowman · 02/10/2015 16:02

Kathy was raped by a colleague and they weren't in a relationship.

I don't think there has been an abusive relationship in the archers before

enochroot · 02/10/2015 16:15

The Fairbrethren are going to lose a lot of money and go away. Hope so anyway.

AskingForAPal · 02/10/2015 16:22

Also that "your handsome brother" thing was totally cringe. No-one would ever say that at work. Ever.

DadDadDad · 02/10/2015 16:35

Alert! Feedback on R4 about to discuss Helen and Rob story

AskingForAPal · 02/10/2015 16:42

It is not dividing Archers listeners! we all hate him!

PseudoBadger · 02/10/2015 16:44

Barely a discussion!

AskingForAPal · 02/10/2015 16:44

Pffft. thanks for flagging though DDD

Gruach · 02/10/2015 16:53

Hearing that again (thanks DDD) it occurs to me that they've been at pains to show us that Rob is a raging, methinks he doth protest too much, homophobe. Perhaps it wasn't lack of contraception that so suddenly outraged Helen? And he's got her booked up with repeat appointments for the foreseeable future.

I dare you BBC ...

BYOSnowman · 02/10/2015 16:57

That would be a truly eastenders end to that sl

DadDadDad · 02/10/2015 16:59

Yes, was a bit brief, sorry if I got you all excited. Were any of the Feedback comments from MNetters?

Davros · 02/10/2015 17:02

Let me just lower the tone a bit here. What a shame HP and Roof weren't singing the football version of that favourite cockernee song:
" My old man said be an Arsenal fan I said fuck off bollocks you're a cunt", would have been great in that little awl woman Geordie voice

ppeatfruit · 02/10/2015 17:59

Askingfor Well I don't know I worked in many offices and shops, also restaurants (not hotels, it's true) but far worse was said then!

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 02/10/2015 18:09

Perhaps Kirstie won't get the job thus setting her up to rival Fallon for the B Farm tea room. That really would be awkward. Or pethaps just to work there.

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 02/10/2015 18:10

That would actuwlly be great imagine how knob would feel having bith Fallon and Kirsty ensconced at B F working anext door to Hellin

BYOSnowman · 02/10/2015 18:32

But she did get the job!

She and Helen will be super awkward around each other at first

SeekEveryEveryKnownHidingPlace · 02/10/2015 19:06

rob is about to get cross....

GypsyFl0ss · 02/10/2015 19:12

ohhh that was hard to listen to.

Gruach · 02/10/2015 19:13

Helen darling - I AM DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.AngryAngryAngry

Northernlurker · 02/10/2015 19:13

I thought Rob was going to hit her then. Poor, poor Helen.

Mind you I could do without moaning from Ruth. So it's all David's fault is it? Get a grip woman!
