The Archers: Will Pip grow or Jill blow? Lil make her vow or Justin take his bow? Discussion #83

[DadDadDad]

TA (The Archers) annoys me intensely but I still have to listen
I think there is a possibility that we obsess about TA in a way that most listeners don't

If this is you (genuine quotes from earlier threads), or you're new and want to ask anything about The Archers, then this is the right place.

PseudoBadger started it, but we're going to finish it (er, will TA ever finish?)

The panto is meant to be Sleeping Beauty, but are you expecting farce (Mother Goose Pip) or tragedy (Puss Cat in Wedding Dress Boots )?

This should see us through to Christmas.

At the end of the last thread we were remembering recent successful marriages in Ambridge. How long ago was Ed & Emma?

suddenly engrossed in searching for item in bag, avoids eye contact with anyone

########## PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT #########

New thread:

So is there a new thread? (sorry Ruby) i try to keep the links I go on to the minimum. (I thought for a moment that yours was the new thread link ) Dad?

Peat - my link was to an info service about drugs - basically they've been a class A drug in any form since 2005 and Freddie could get life imprisonment for selling them. In reality he'd get a lot less. There was a story in our local paper recently about a young "respectable" man buying a few E tablets and selling on to his mates and he got a slap on the wrist because he was middle class and about to go to uni.

I just chatted to Frank, and some of it seems a bit out of date. For example if you search "legal highs" the article is from 2011, but the more up to date act is there but takes finding partly because they now use the term psychoactive substances.
Of course College should have done some lecture about this - its the kind of thing my DC are informed about all the time. Because otherwise Noli being South African could have been ignorant of the law (I can't see any of the Home Farm lot giving her a catch up chat about drugs etc.).
I did think Noli was accusing her mother of being racist and only seeing her and Sippo as "accessories" to her White Privileged lifestyle.
Although it did make me think of Waynette Slob and her "I want a black baby".

I have a thread suggestion. 🙂

SOrry, meant to type have a suggestion.

Best Archers quote ever ..” that decides it. Perhaps Ambridge just isn’t ready for kefir yet!”
