I don't think "secure tenant" has anything to do with barristers' chambers. I've only heard that term in relation to ordinary tenancies of residential premises.

AnnieNoMouse · 08/04/2016 18:35

I cross-posted August, so does that mean the chambers have the benefit of her name, she'll be able to take on cases when she chooses, and will be free to do other stuff too?
Hmm (knew I could turn it from OT to TA) - she could defend Helen, and put in an appearance a la Kirsty and Anneka.

AugustaFinkNottle · 08/04/2016 18:36

Sorry, Annie, I've just noticed you were referencing Gruach's use of that term. No doubt she'll explain, but I suspect she was just using "secure" as an adjective rather than some sort of professional term.

AugustaFinkNottle · 08/04/2016 18:38

And I also cross-posted, Annie. I think the description you give is about right, but there are certainly more knowledgeable people than me around who could confirm whether that's correct.

Great idea to have Shami Chakrabarti defending Helen!

Ebola Titchener - the baby's name.
You heard it on the Now Show first.

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 08/04/2016 18:49

Also on the Now Show - The Archers is Game if Thrones with farms....now where have we heard that before?Grin

Genius poems. All of them!

There was a mean man called Rob
Who made Helen Archer sob
She sighed, then she cried
As a part of her died
Then she stabbed him cos he was a knob

Gruach · 08/04/2016 18:52

No - I wasn't using the word "secure" in any professionally specific sense! Merely - in my own head - contrasting the experience of being a tenant (with a room and a friendly relationship with the clerks) with the experience of being a door tenant (desk surfing and little work).

SliceOfLime · 08/04/2016 18:52

SmallLegs I'm listening too Grin the clip they just played had her screaming "you're a monster!" I don't remember that from The Night of The Long Kitchen Knives? Am I just forgetting?

Wordsaremything · 08/04/2016 19:02

Could the shop person be Miles?

drspouse · 08/04/2016 19:05

I hate to be annoying... But I missed the bit yesterday where Helen was being questioned and stopped saying "no comment", but I can't bear to listen again. Can anyone update me?

jellycake · 08/04/2016 19:05

Oh fuck off Susan!

jellycake · 08/04/2016 19:06

She admitted that she did say that she was going to kill him but said not in that way, then got hysterical and they ended the interview.

We note that you are still alive

You get a P45 if you die in service, too. HMRC sees no difference between resignation;, redundancy, sacking or death.

drspouse · 08/04/2016 19:09

Thanks jelly.

Boomingmarvellous · 08/04/2016 19:12

As predicted (and for the reasons I predicted) remanded in custard!

Don't tell me Ursilla is going to crack and tell about her abuse!

GypsyFl0ss · 08/04/2016 19:12

Bloody hell Peggy. Where's yr loyalty?!

Gherkinsmummy · 08/04/2016 19:12

Missed a bit why is Peggy with arsula?

SealSong · 08/04/2016 19:12

What the FRIG is bloody Peggy doing??

Boomingmarvellous · 08/04/2016 19:14

You tell him Kirsty. Twat Tom!

BertrandRussell · 08/04/2016 19:14

So Ursula tells Peggy about the abuse........

HalsallRedux · 08/04/2016 19:15

Bloody hell - Susan. She always has been appalling.

On another note, couldn't they have got a lawyer who didn't sound exactly like Tom?

I see Pat's now rediscovering her long-lost feminist instincts Hmm

bakeoffcake · 08/04/2016 19:15

Why are they letting Arsula stay in the house!

iisme · 08/04/2016 19:17

So ... When do you think we'll next get a scene that doesn't directly relate to this story?

GypsyFl0ss · 08/04/2016 19:18

Right Bore what were the predictions for a deaded Knob and a murder charge? We should have opened a book on it!
