Can someone quickly remind me of the date of Pseudo's first TA thread?

recyclingbag · 17/02/2016 15:34

Gherkins, I thought that too. I don't even answer DH's phone.

Also, she would no it was Kirstie as her name would flash up.

Example of controlling behaviour or clunky sw, hard to say.

GruntledOne · 17/02/2016 15:35

I've just seen something pointing out that it was Tony's 65th birthday yesterday. I don't think anyone even mentioned it, did they?

recyclingbag · 17/02/2016 15:36

Also, why didn't Helen take her phone with her upstairs? If Ursula was going out and leaving her on her own, the first thing I'd do is ring my friend back.

Unless Ursula had already pocketed the phone.

JessTitchener · 17/02/2016 15:41

Would Kirsty's name flash up though? There was speculation that Knob deleted her number when she phoned whilst Helen was in hospital.

Helenluvsrob · 17/02/2016 15:41

If rob deleted kirsty from MY phone, and I'm not saying he did it maliciously you understand...then her name wouldn't show up.

I'm chocked how nice my new MIL is really.

Gruach, the earliest long one I can find is this: Why is Lillian allowing this to happen? (975 Posts)

But I didn't really look much further back.

Keri Davies said Knob didn't delete or block Kirsty on the phone.

sunnydayinmay · 17/02/2016 15:43

Think the SW confirmed that Knob didn't delete K's number, he just turned the phone off.

Dumdedumdedum · 17/02/2016 15:49

Yep, when the question was asked, KD tweeted that he wished he'd thought of deleting or blocking Kirsty's number!

PseudoBadger · 17/02/2016 15:50

That was the first one DumdeDum

Carenza's been waiting to give this paper for years apparently. She was talking about a community archaeology project, where they go to a village and get students to dig 1m x 1m test pits, and then she went into detail about why Ambridge would be a good candidate, and what they might find.

Which, as mentioned, probably doesn't include Anglo Saxon roof timbers, partly because most -bridge names date to later periods, because bridges are often one of the things which are built later.

EBearhug · 17/02/2016 15:59

Rob's had plenty of opportunities to do stuff to Helen's phone since he answered the phone to Kirsty in the hospital. I'd be surprised if Helen'showed phone had been in her possession that much.

DadDadDad · 17/02/2016 16:00

DumDeDum - I agree: 23 Apr 2013 thread is the first recorded in my spreadshit. If there's one before that, that DOES play havoc with my stats. Stop looking!

Archaeology and cake! Thank goodness! #academicarchers"

Pseudo, I think I might apply for that research/archivist/continuity position that is going in "The Archers'" office.

Dumdedumdedum · 17/02/2016 16:05

What spreadshit and stats are these, DadDadDad? Are you applying for that job, then?

BertrandRussell · 17/02/2016 16:05

If Rob's behaviour is blamed on his mother I will SCREAM!!!!

Fascinating - Mumsnet following Twitter following a conference about the Archers. This is exactly what social media is about!grin

I think the thread just ate itself.... Grin

nagsandovalballs · 17/02/2016 16:06

(Or the internet did...)

Gruach · 17/02/2016 16:10

Thanks!

I did manage to insist that the conference organiser has a look at this thread. Hope she will.

We're talking about Lynda Snell now - Archetypal Middle Class Activist. Cultural capital! - something I only ever see here in education discussions.

DumDeDum (lot of Ds in one username Grin) - since those early days, I've simply recorded each thread in this series, when it started, how many posts and so calculated the PPD (post per day) as a measure of how excited this discussion gets. Here's some recent results:

It started off as a bit of fun. There was a time when I would predict at the start of the thread when it would end.

We also gathered data at one point on people's ages: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/radio_addicts/2233904-How-old-are-Archers-listeners

GruntledOne · 17/02/2016 16:15

What we need to bring it full circle is for this thread to be discussed at the conference.

Thanks for the info, 3D. Am racking my brains to remember why the daily posts would have been so high for the thread which began on 4th Feb. (Goldfish brain, me.)
