Follow the subtle trail towards the Christmas storyline climaxes in Ambridge - discuss The Archers here

[PseudoBadger]

So many possibilities.... A visit from the Titcheners Snr? Baby of the wrong gender? A ruined wedding? Re-housed Grundys? RuthRex?

I sometimes wonder if I only listen for the carters

I was cheering on Tony.

Helen sounds fully broken now. It's so sad.

Really? Really? What the hell was that scene between Neil and Susan? That was like two other people imo

Boo.

And why the eff have we got all this nudity nonsense to live with for the next however many weeks.

So is Susan starting to stir, picking up on last night's tension?

Toomuch gels make excellent cathedral choristers ;) well mine do !
You have to be experienced to tell cathedral trained girls from boys these days, and they are often better as they are older

Unfortunately, when that suspension of disbelief goes, you do start to ask yourself why you spend so much time listening to this nonsense.... or at any rate I do. hmm Not just you gaspode. You've made me realise I don't think it's real anymore

Sorry, Lillian. Here, have this new emoticon I've just noticed. I wasn't sure what it was till I looked at the list, to be honest, but now I see that it's meant to be a bar of chocolate. You can probably get very much better where you are, of course.

Do you think MNHQ got sponsorship for that emoticon?

Looks like it ...

How crass

Cadbury's chocolate is horrid - it was pretty bad before the whole Kraft debacle and it's worse now.

I still want to know if Susan's got a massive tattoo. Or perhaps a pierced tummy button?

The Cadbury ....stuff. Is not, I repeat not, chocolate.

Sorry, MN, but that emoticon just doesn't say "chocolate" to me. It doesn't say anything, to be honest.

Neil is such a sweetheart.

If it wasn't for the branding on it I would have thought it was a bed

Joskar. I know.

I didn't see any problems with that scene between Neil and Susan. They've always had a good relationship.

Let's hope that now Radio Susan has caught on to tensions with Knob she'll start broadcasting it and a few people will start making connections.

How nice not to have to listen to HelRob, Ruth, Jill, Pipsqueak
in fact most of them,
oh dear is it time to give up listening ?

To go back to Tony's rebellion, A giant BOOP point for it; I LOVED the fact he stood up to Knob for many reasons, not least the fact that the older furniture he loves is REAL and organic not like the fakery that symbolises the pretence at 'normality' that the sociopath Titchener characterises.

Long time listener (20yrs!) and long time lurker here. Hello .

I love this thread. It adds another layer of enjoyment to my Archer listening. You all have fabulous insights. I'm loving/hating the Rob/Helin SL at the moment.

Can I ask a stoopid question though? What on earth does BOOP and SOK stand for? I've been trying to work it out.

SOK: Spawn of Knob. But I think she needs to be Knobella for evermore.

BOOP: BitOutOfPractice, a poster who once rightly pointed out that we were all being too negative and we ought to acknowledge good points. Hence anything good in TA is a BOOP point.

Hello and welcome harry SOC stands for Sean O' Connor the 'newish' editor. Boop stands for Bit Out Of Practice a lovely poster who was saying that there was too much moaning and negativity on this thread (which I agree with) can you tell?

I didn't feel the Susan Neil convo sounded like them in the way it was written. I'm not finding the writing very good atm and that doesn't help with the suspension of disbelief. They're only getting away with it where they have particularly good actors.

Agree they are probably the most solid couple in ambridge! Soc had better not get any ideas about splitting them up!

Oh Gruntled We cross posted there, I missed spawn of Knob!!! silly me [grin Poor little unborn child she might be lovely
