And she cried and cried despite not knowing she was pg at that point and he deliverately stopped her leaving the house that day.

I would feel a little bit nauseous if faced with Toby's 'porky delight'.

R4 · 20/03/2016 12:54

Do you note that the jolly hogateers also have a caravan!?

Talking of the Fairbrethern - anyone else think it's weird that they have not made a single mention of the Six Nations. Maybe they will shoe-horn in a topical insert in the next few days.

EBearhug · 20/03/2016 15:12

Wasn't there some comment a couple of weeks back about going to the pub to watch the rugby? Might have been when Toby buggered off to Brighton.

Agree Gruach that blog is the rewriting of history we predicted to iron out any glitches in preparation for the audiobook. Mention of his heroics in the flood - not of attempts to avoid helping, shouting and Christine, culvert blocking, the disappearance of Stefan, the subsequent discrepancies in the record at Berrow Farm and his storming out before Charlie could sack him. I think the conception of SOK is described exactly as it happened - it was open to interpretation at the time and it still is, but the blog mentions the bruised wrist etc so not spelled out, but I think we can safely conclude that it was rape.

Pulls up chair & grabs knitting

Imbroglio · 20/03/2016 16:41

Rob's insistence that Helen mustn't feel guilty for hitting him was downright horrible.

NotdeadyetBOING · 20/03/2016 17:00

Shameless place marking.

Stickerrocks · 20/03/2016 17:17

We have 2 Jolly Hogs stationed at Harlequins Rugby Club, as Ollie used to play for us. I strongly recommend the Porky Black.

Minimammoth · 20/03/2016 17:24

A lot is being made of how this storyline has developed to raise awareness and even maybe to save lives, so the ending better be good.

ElementaryMyDear · 20/03/2016 17:31

Notdeadly, you'll probably find tonight's episode is nothing but Alf Grundy and the Fairbrethren's eggs, with maybe a smidgen of Justin and Lill.

DSClarke · 20/03/2016 17:33

I missed the caravan! Will have the sausages next week and report about the porky goodness.

phoebemac · 20/03/2016 17:33

I am wondering if Richard Locke having Easter Sunday lunch at Shula’s will have any bearing on the Knob/Hellin situation?

phoebemac · 20/03/2016 17:52

Or is it at Usha's? I always get them confused for some reason!

LyndaNotLinda · 20/03/2016 18:01

Probably been covered in the last thread but did Wayne and Jolene really charge people to hear them sing? I thought they were supposed to be good Confused

RockNRollNerd · 20/03/2016 18:41

President Olivia - can we have a smiley for the 50th thread do you think please? Grin

Some bunting maybe - it could be recycled then for other dates although I don't know what

selsigfach · 20/03/2016 18:41

Ooh yes, I wish when Knob had been all "it's ok, darling, I forgive you for hitting me", she'd yelled "I didn't bloody hit you!"

NotdeadyetBOING · 20/03/2016 18:48

Elementary, you are probably right. Must manage those expectations of Knob being roasted alive

Gruach · 20/03/2016 18:52

For those of you who haven't moved on Wink from ... the wrongness - K.D. has tweeted:

Although very rare, it is possible to board at Henry's age, in exceptional circs - eg how Rob would portray Helen.

(Tweeting people have questioned the need for a SW to continually explain and clarify an already broadcast story.)

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 20/03/2016 19:02

I think Helen thinks she did hit him or as good as.

I think something happens to you when you are in a very stressful and someone is throwing accusations at you and everythibg they are doing is so far from your nirmal frame of reference that affects the way you remember the incident.

You think that cannot be what just happened. So when they say this happened you think ah that must be it that would explain it.
Otherwise I am married to a wife beating shit head who tells me he loves me but who actually has contempt for me.

My ex got me to believe several.things had happened 'in the heat of an argument' that I now see were not true.

redshoeblueshoe · 20/03/2016 19:04

OH shit Knob alert

Boomingmarvellous · 20/03/2016 19:10

Thank you Kr1stina. Haha! It's a bloody piece of old junk! Or is it me being a philistine? Grin

redshoeblueshoe · 20/03/2016 19:11

Pat Angry Sad

ColdTeaAgain · 20/03/2016 19:14

Pat is going to feel awful when she finds out what has been really going on.

redshoeblueshoe · 20/03/2016 19:15

The poison is dripping Sad
