It would be good if Charlie is sufficiently provoked by the article to come out into the open about why Rob left. He might just feel he has nothing to lose now, though it would depend on whether he still feels he doesn't want to drop Adam in it.

Are we coming up to the anniversary of the flood? Maybe that might prompt one or two memories about Rob's behaviour and even get Pat over her amnesia about the culvert.

Shilly-shallying galore yet, WipsGlitter.

She's talked him up so much and he's talked himself up that she's surrounded by people who think he's marvellous.

BYOSnowman · 15/01/2016 17:37

People who have also seen him behave like an absolute arse. So who has seen bad behaviour?
Adam
Ian
Shula (and Oliver)
Alastair
Christine (though she was in a flap)
Jenny and David (through stefan)
Charlie
Kirsty

Fallon and Emma too as he has messed them around with the cafe and he has been curt with Emma

Joke be doesn't like him after what he did to Kenton on the stag does she?

I am completely lost as I have been listening on podcasts but in the wrong order. So I have quite enjoyed optimism at Brookfield, but missed Haley, Kirsty action.
Also just to say from a comment waaayyy back, that I don't see the posts as moaning, more frustration when there is inadequate research, archive knowledge and unrealistic storylines. We only do it to advise the SW and SOc of course Wink, in the manner of consultants reallyGrin

Don't forget Tony, qua father in law and qua cricket umpire.

I am seriously baffled by why he hasn't said anything to anyone about the cricket. The sledging was appalling.

GruntledOne · 15/01/2016 17:57

Semi BOOP for the fact that Ruth is much more tolerable now she's cheerful and isn't whinging all the time. She seems to have largely forgotten HP, but this is one case where a personality transplant is acceptable.

BYOSnowman · 15/01/2016 18:01

Ah yes, Tony

And Tom re whatever it was rob ordered and he then cancelled

BYOSnowman · 15/01/2016 18:02

Which is why he targeted Helens job I guess because he knew he wouldn't get toms

BertrandRussell · 15/01/2016 18:04

Has payday happened since "it's easier if it's in the joint account" day?

And Tom's been all "we're so lucky to have you"- he's forgotten all about the whatever it was Rob ordered that time...........

Lilifer · 15/01/2016 18:32

PP I know it's petty of me but I can't help it. I'm Irish and I feel like shouting at her when she says it, "it's ireland (pronounced ARland !) roof FFS!

enochroot · 15/01/2016 18:38

He ordered a herd of the wrong type of cows once! Tom stopped him.

IorekByrnisonsArmour · 15/01/2016 19:05

Shula FFS

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 15/01/2016 19:06

So the first woman in history to be pregnant is a bit tired is she?Hmm

IorekByrnisonsArmour · 15/01/2016 19:07

Oh he's like a snake

IorekByrnisonsArmour · 15/01/2016 19:09

Loving Roof at the moment, she's not blinkered re Knob

NorthernLurker · 15/01/2016 19:12

If Rob tries to warn Kirsty off he might just get more than he bargained for.

Stickerrocks · 15/01/2016 19:12

Knob's about to stick the knife into Kirsty (pouring camomile tea on troubled waters).

NorthernLurker · 15/01/2016 19:13

The bathroom - eeek.

GruntledOne · 15/01/2016 19:15

Knob's hardly in a position to sneer at Roy's relationship history, is he?

IorekByrnisonsArmour · 15/01/2016 19:15

Oh Adam Sad

GypsyFl0ss · 15/01/2016 19:16

So who is going to catch them at their big snog then?

BitOutOfPractice · 15/01/2016 19:16

"Well...that's eclipsed Jennifer's crsotinis!"

Genius! Grin

FinestGrundyTurkey · 15/01/2016 19:16

excellent CA riposte

FinestGrundyTurkey · 15/01/2016 19:16

I reckon Ian will turn out to have been lurking
that's why he didn't come

Stickerrocks · 15/01/2016 19:17

Roy tried to go out of his league (in Knob's opinion) whereas Jess was just an inconvenience to be cast aside for his true mission in life.
