Knob throttlers form an orderly queue at Blossom Hill Cottage! Discuss the Archers on the Official Thread

[PseudoBadger]

Do you know that I was 3 months pregnant when the first thread started - DD was 2 yesterday

That must also mean that Poppy Grundy's 2nd birthday has passed by unremarked upon...

songbird -on what you call your grandparents. That is brilliant! My own DS called his nanas:- blue nana & white nana, plus I have a sister & auntie with the same name (let's say Doris) so we also had "plum coloured auntie doris" & "white coloured auntie doris" We have no idea why he called them this though & he couldn't explain it himself. It was just the way he saw them.

My grandparents were different nationalities so I had no problems. My kids grandparents are three different nationalities so an even bigger mix of names! Makes life a lot easier!

Have Roy and Hayley divided up assets yet?

Love the gossiping!!

I know nothing about farming so we will need dfw giving a summary afterwards

Charlie seems to have aged twenty years!!

Poor Charlie. Needs a hug.

poor cows!

Calendar girls. Groan.

No!!!!!

Calendar Girls! On the radio! Priceless.

How can knob be blamed for this?

After all the helpful suggestions we gave them?

Yes it's a totally soc idea!!!

Ha ha!! Brilliant!!

When I think botulism, I think honey

When I think honey, I think of jills bees. You know, the ones that killed HP...

Jolene behind two brimming pints, Fallon with some floral bunting, Shula with 2 dandy brushes...

BYOS

A plague of bees!

It's bound to be due to Knob cutting corners though, isn't it?

I'm finding it hard to believe Linda would think that the best use of Lower Loxley ... Perhaps I've been imagining her all wrong ...

So, um, we all think Rob deliberately poisoned the cows in an act of spite against Barrow Farm?

Rob is incompetent I'm sure, not specifically evil!

I feel they have read Lynda wrong

I'm sure Fallon could bake considerably larger buns as essential props for the production.

Does Fallon already have big buns ? ( Fnarr, Fnarr)

I bet Rob has been up to his usual trick of buying in cheap feed. The batch of feed has just now come on stream as feed for the cows and down they go with botulism.
It's annoying that the villager chorus thinks he knew something was wrong and so resigned but that just makes the fall from grace even harder when it finally happens.
Or so I hope.

And BOOP for Charlie for speaking soothingly to the sick cow.
Have I mentioned that I like Charlie?

Knowing something was wrong and resigning sounds pretty pathetic though doesn't it? You're meant to be a penniless hero and whistle blow not run away.
If cheap cattle feed had botulism it would still be the feed seller at fault not the purchaser if the feed was supposed to be fit for consumption.
Not everything bad in Ambridge is Knob's fault. I'm just pissed off with the SWs wanting to fill Ambridge with such a stupid number of disasters. Stolen cows and mass death in the dairy and dead Heatherpet (thank God) and Knob and Helen/ shop plans is all a bit much and does make it seem silly rather than entertaining. Aren't there any well balanced happy scriptwriters who don't wish to inflict their misery on a virtual village?
