Thanks, R4, for the title (again!).

I'm your temporary host while PseudoBadger is on her sabbatical / prison term / secret mission.

Old hands and complete newbies all welcome.

Spoilers (eg Radio Times descriptions of future programmes) not welcome.

When will Matt reappear? Before / during / after the wedding?

The floor is yours...

Brine did have an eye on Annabelle but nothing happened afaik.

Maybe I'm getting old but there seems to be lots of references to modern life in the last couple of years, mostly done in a really try-hard way. So it was an online equestrian discussion group or similar. Why not just say he'd read it online?
I expect 'urban' is just another way of showing how 'sick' the SWs are which will pass a lot of people by.

Imbroglio · 21/10/2017 21:08

It feels a bit clunky at times but it would annoy me if there were hardly any references to modern life/ living.

cheminotte · 21/10/2017 21:12

Yes we do comment when they go and see each other rather than phoning / texting. Was it Caroline and Shula where one said to the other recently - why didn't you just phone?

Ceto · 21/10/2017 23:20

It has to be an equestrian discussion group, because that way it is seen immediately by people who are potentially Shula and Alistair's customers.

ppeatfruit · 22/10/2017 09:53

potentially Shula and Alaistair's customers Or not! Will Justin's intervention save the day?

ppeatfruit · 22/10/2017 09:54

Oh dear what happened to the 'emphasis' ?

EBearhug · 22/10/2017 10:37

Oh dear what happened to the 'emphasis'?

You got a space between the * and the text.

I take it that where Lilian's phone had taken it upon itself to delete Philip's number, it had a helping hand from Justin?

ppeatfruit · 22/10/2017 13:36

Thanks Ebear

Do you think that Justin is so devious? Why would he do that?

birdsdestiny · 22/10/2017 14:03

No I don't think justin did that. I think it was a contrived storyline so that Lillian would find out about the matt/Justin fight. I have decided I quite fancy Philip.

WineAndTiramisu · 22/10/2017 15:35

Are we sure Justin didn't delete the number? He certainly didn't want Lillian to know about his argument with Matt?

ppeatfruit · 22/10/2017 16:25

Yes Philip comes across as quite dishy, I don't know why Grin his accent?

birdsdestiny · 22/10/2017 16:50

I was going to say he sounds quite masterful but then realised I am turning into Lillian Blush

Abra1d · 22/10/2017 19:11

Lily wouldn't talk about dessert, would she? Surely she's a county gal so it's pudding?

AuldHeathen · 22/10/2017 19:33

Abra1d, the matter of pudding versus dessert was discussed at length on these threads- about 2 months ago?? Really not sure about the time scale but l think it was the previous thread. Sadly, too, l haven’t hung onto the crucial points of the discussion. All l can recall is that l was surprised by the comments and would have expected the opposite of whatever it was people were thinking would be right. maybe different because l‘m not English.

Abra1d · 22/10/2017 20:23

I shall go and look!

EBearhug · 22/10/2017 20:49

Do you think that Justin is so devious? Why would he do that?

I think he is that controlling. He wants to kbow who she's talking to and meeting with. He did it because he doesn't want Lilian to find out about the fight. (She hasn't told him she knows, either, has she?) He doesn't want Lilian to know he has a violent side. He doesn't want her to know how much he has in common with Rob.

EBearhug · 22/10/2017 20:50

I think Philips might be all right, too. Not sure if anyone in Ambridge deserves him, though.

EBearhug · 22/10/2017 20:52

Philip. Stupid phone. (Have been texting a Philips. It doesn't comprehend it's not the same person.)

AuntyElle · 22/10/2017 22:35

Would Lilian say 'Jalapeño' with a hard 'j'?
~covering the crucial issues~

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 22/10/2017 23:35

I'm so bored with Adam and Ian's baby stuff and Pip and Tobe.

JeNeSuisPasVotreMiel · 23/10/2017 06:48

Would Lilian say 'Jalapeño' with a hard 'j'?

I thought that too. Maybe she needs a sojourn in a South American country to educate her cultural knowledge?

JeNeSuisPasVotreMiel · 23/10/2017 06:49

I meant extend not educate. It's too early to be typing.

AuntyElle · 23/10/2017 09:41

Haha, JeNeSuis Smile

ppeatfruit · 23/10/2017 13:12

Is Lil planning a family get together because she has decided that she's leaving with Matt?
