The Archers - What’s your poison? Alice is legless, the fish are lifeless and Pip is clueless (Discussion #85)

[DadDadDad]

Even if you don't have a leg(?), a life or a clue, Welcome to the first ever 85th Archers thread!

Wild speculation and sensible questions always welcome - especially any newcomers.

A little game for the weekend, inspired by Timetogetup0630 and Gruach on the last thread:

Invent an explanation for how your username was the inspiration for an Archers storyline, character, etc - be creative!

My username is telling the story of Toby, Adam and Ian, although it probably needs some punctuation: Dad! Dad/Dad?

dairyfarmerswife - bit too easy for you, but as professional country folk maybe you could judge the winner?

Pleased to see Peggy getting involved in much the same way as she supported her jailbird granddaughter when she was in labour. But has nobody explained to Will there are no other frontline staff in the hospital especially overnight and abusing them all means he‘s responsible for his wife‘s death. And despite his obvious great wealth he shouldn‘t consider private care while Nic is acutely ill cos, as a former colleague once said, having your own toilet seat doesn’t mean you get better care just that you‘ll have your own toilet seat!

BTW Ben can’t stand Pip either.

GnotherGnu - I think you're right

Have I missed something or is this a prediction? Sorry for getting confused!

It’s a spoof Peggy tweet. 🙂

Sorry, a spoof tweet by a tweeter who calls themself Peggy Woolley.

Oh ha great!

A PP posted about them all having to use each other's names all the time.

What's unrealistic particularly is that most families have pet names for one another which are almost never used outside the family. We never hear this on the Archers.

The only nickname I can think of is Jazzer - but that's used by everyone.

They used to call Pip Pipsqueak.

My dears, it wiz a show of humour.

Though l should admit that my husband has problems with my deadpan sense of humour at times as he can’t always read it - and that‘s when we are in the same room. Sorry if l caused confusion on the interweb.

Okay, folks. It‘s almost time. Dum de dum de dum!

Here we go!

sepsis !

God this is going to make me cry

You see, I’m not on the edge of my seat now... no way is she going to die

Holding my breath....

Lordy ...

She's a goner

They can't

Oh gawd she's going to die next to Joe.

Why her

WHY NOT PIP 😭

Joe will give her a pep talk and pull her through...

This is heartbreaking

No, she won‘t die (l suppose) but la famille Grundy doesn’t know that. Obvs Toby is going to go it alone in the calving/lambing shed.. Stupid boy!
