The Archers - We Listen So You Don't Have To

[PseudoBadger]

Happy(?!) Sunday everyone

What will this week have in store for us I wonder?

I listened to the omnibus with the dcs in the car. Lovely listening. I was delighted to come home to this thread. Phew! I can listen now to more episodes of More or Less Some people say that even Zola had a sense of humour when he was leaving his characters in the ditch, drunk and covered in boils, thin and on death's door. I do wonder if Helen is a victim of herself. I cannot bear to listen to Arsula and Bruce. At all. They are so awful. All the time. TBH I am becoming a bit bored by the HelRob s/l. Haven't we all had enough of characters so awful that they should either be composted, or if they're not entirely evil, fed to Tom's pigs? Or just put through the shredder. With all the cuts, it is amazing that there is any police station open within 20 miles of Felpersham.

I am a bit obsessed with the Shepherds Hut, keep imagining a kind of crooked house on wheels, from a book I had when I was little.
Maybe Lynda could get George from Amazing Spaces to come sort it out and open the garden party.

D3 - you should've posted 2 posts and you would've had it....
I hadn't actually looked at the thread all day!

I've just had an afternoon of conflict resolution training at work hello to anyone who was there too. It ended with the instructor discussing reasonable force in self defence ...oh how I wanted to put my hand up and ask what he thought about Helen's chances

I am but the handmaiden to great statistical milestones, the kingmaker never the king. I feel that in order to maintain my professional integrity and a level of objectivity I should not be the one to post in the hallowed slots.

But, then again "oh, hello" is a bit of a let-down for a post, and I'm seriously considering keeping the 60k all to myself - and telling the rest of you AFTERWARDS!!

It's always the numbers nerds that go postal, isn't it. Dad? I can say that because I married one

Thanks, Enoch re: Jim and Rob.

How old are your dc Tiger

Good calving

It's not in her nature to be violent.
Uh huh.

I don't understand the encouraging of witnesses line re Henry. Could not anyone connected to him encourage him?

Hooray for Carol! Super duper barrister daughter!

Go Jill!!!!! I take it all aback about your wittering.

Yes!!! A specialist barrister. That's why Carol was on to Knob!

Called it! Actually that might have been on the spoilers thread

At last! There's some point to Carol.

Well that's the barrister sorted out

Hurray Jill! Hurray Carol! Hooray Anna (love that she said she wanted to help)!

Well there's handy isn't it.

Have no idea why I changed how I spell Hurray mid-post.

And for once she brings something other than

The Ambridge Barrister Fairy?

All Praise the Ambridge Fairy

Jobs, homes and specialist legal advice when needed!

Mind you I would have thought Dominic would have thought of suggesting the well known womens issue 'local' barrister

Oh who cares - somebody who knows what they're talking about and will be able to get to the heart of the issue. Hurrah!!!

Punches the air!!!!

Finally someone with some sense might start accumulating some of the evidence the scriptwriters are shoving everywhere and Pat and Tony are too dense to see. Personally I was hoping for Perry Mason but Ann Tregoran will do nicely

I would have thought Dominic would think she was a) too busy b) not doing legal aid (although if she does womens issues surely a lot of that is LA).

So how long before Carol.yalks about her history of DV at John's hand? and admits that right enough Rob asked for her tea recipe
