Yes, that was a good line, cheminotte.

DoctorTwo, I thought the idea was that Toby should play the goose, although it might be an intellectual stretch for him. I really hope Lynda doesn't persuade Adam to play the Dame because that would make him such a target for Robs vileness.

Thanks for lovely new thread Pseudo. Something I've idly wondered about for years - when it comes to the pigs, is it weaners or wieners?

Olivia of Grey Gables?

ErrolTheDragon · 16/11/2016 23:40

Weaner - they're piglets which have just been weaned. So you don't need sows and boar (or AI) just buy in weaners.

Wieners (in the animal meaning) are strictly friends not food, despite pictures of them being dressed in buns and anything to the contrary you might read on the internet https://dogbreedsoftheworld.co.uk/tag/wiener-dog/ ShockGrin I found that remarkable piece because the picture looks a lot like my own!

LowDudgeon · 16/11/2016 23:43

Usernnnnnnnnnnnn I am Shock at the idea of a self-harming horse

Have you arranged some counselling?

JessieMcJessie · 17/11/2016 01:16

Lynda should get Oliver to play the Dame. There was a Tv drama on one Christmas about behind the scenes at a panto and the Oliver actor was the Dame in that.

I am waiting for the day whenLynda does 'Springtime for Hitler'. It would go down well. Casting ideas?

SerendipityPhenomenon · 17/11/2016 06:31

Justin as the actor playing Hitler, Knob as Goebbels. I can't remember whether Goebbels features in SFH, but it seems appropriate. Kenton or Brian in the Zero Mostel part? Roy as Gene Wilder?

Hello you TA fans I'm back, good to be here Grin Thanks awfully for the spiffing new thread Psued Grin

I've sort of caught up but missed Lil's comments about breast feeding, very sweet!

Geretrude · 17/11/2016 10:08

Oh I didn't know they were called wieners! I thought it was a sort of joke on the basis they were going to turn them into sausages Blush

I love dachshunds and so does my dog!

ErrolTheDragon · 17/11/2016 10:25

It's an American thing really, Gertrude. Here we walk through a ripple of exclamations 'oh, it's a sausage dog'.

The same thinking that results in a dachshund being called a wiener could certainly be applied to piglets so your query was understandable. Grin

Eastpoint · 17/11/2016 12:12

Thank you for the new thread Pseudo. Poor Helen worrying about Henry, I think we'be all seen enough threads on here about children being excluded socially to know how upset she must be about the party invitation.

TheAntiBoop · 17/11/2016 13:11

Susan was nice about it but I had to laugh at calling the other mum a snob. Pot kettle?

enochroot · 17/11/2016 13:58

I liked hearing about Rob's early morning contact visit without having to listen to the event itself.
Typical of him to blame everything except his own pig-headedness at insisting on that time of day.

BitOutOfPractice · 17/11/2016 14:08

You know that post SOC equilibrium has been restored when we get a Double Lynda Sniff episode

Gherkinsmummy · 17/11/2016 14:32

Thank you for the new thread Pseudo

ErrolTheDragon · 17/11/2016 15:12

I expect the party thing, which will probably be followed by parents being oddly unable to arrange playdates with Helen, will be another thing which persuades her that Rob needs to be brought to trial.

ppeatfruit · 17/11/2016 15:13

So Toby makes a horrible mess of Pip's cottage making some rubbish alcoholic beverage, goes off to Brighton (no explanation), doesn't bother to go to a meeting about the egg business, that he then gets annoyed about it. Will Pip stop entertaining and making allowances for the idiot soon?

ppeatfruit · 17/11/2016 15:14

Oh and he nicks herbs from Linda's garden, will her sniff become volcanic when she discovers it?

CeciledeVolanges · 17/11/2016 15:28

Everyone seems to have been stealing from Linda lately.

TheAntiBoop · 17/11/2016 16:00

I guess it is her leverage for getting them to appear on the play

Guess she will find out about Toby and he will be the goose

SaraTheFairy · 17/11/2016 16:26

The alarm bells are ringing for me. Anisha is an equine specialist and Alice was adamant that Chris THE FARRIER would never cheat on her. . . . . Cue, admiring glances over one of Oliver's lame hunters . . . . Although in RL none of my farriers have ever had a good word to say about the local equine vet!

The weather being kind to them? Most of the Midlands vanished under a monsoon this morning, Ambridge has its own little microclimate again.

TheAntiBoop · 17/11/2016 19:34

So before Toby goes off trying to sell his muck to Kenton - does ha (or the sw) know the legal position???

Vango · 17/11/2016 19:42

Still holding out for a Pip poisoning. Disappointing to hear her yesterday but still hope after tonight's tasting session. Wonder what the 'green' taste might have been?
