Granny Murray - is "Granny" a Scottish term of endearment, or did she have kids when she was 9?

Just idly wondering why...

reiterating my full admiration for Plum. Great bloke. Did you see his cheeky grin when he caught miss houllie out with the whoopee cushion!!
and his police print apron and oven gloves!! he cooks fabulous chinese too.

Spencer , now there's an oddity...

I had to look up what Archie is. And you know, one thing he's not is arty. He doesn't invent anything either, he just makes like telephones out of paper cups and string. He is posh, though. Is he supposed to be the Laird?

I had to google sideshow bob, but yes, instant recognition there H.

Coooor.

The black guy - Paul? He is quite hot. And over sings in a very "I went to RADA for God's sake!" kind of way

Or do you mean the old guy - Simon? He's sweet too, and dances like a classic dad.

VoodooCoconut · 15/05/2008 21:07

I dont like edie mcreedy either - she is a driver who likes the drink, IMO...the street is only 10cm long so how does she make a living??

NurkMagiggy · 15/05/2008 21:08

Ebenes you're right, everything Archie makes is shit, but I just can't think what else it could be.

EBenes · 15/05/2008 21:08

Oh, Spencer is a mystery man. What is he doing there? Fell in love with Josie Jump in London is my guess, and followed her up here.

Hate the way they rhyme 'houllie' and 'story' just because they're Scottish so they can.

EBenes · 15/05/2008 21:08

"Ebenes you're right, everything Archie makes is shit, but I just can't think what else it could be."

No, you're dead right, they do sing 'arty'. he's just a big spoiled baby, though.

Since story sounded like stooree Nurk . I may be wrong though

VoodooCoconut · 15/05/2008 21:09

Archie. He has to be the upper class english man who wears a blimmin' kilt. Yes, he is the Laird...of the pink castle

NurkMagiggy · 15/05/2008 21:09

Gawd no not simon.
Sweet yes, I wish he was my dad yes, but shag him, no.

It must be Paul.
Do you think he might have a Mrs Robinson complex? If so I am in.

NurkMagiggy · 15/05/2008 21:11

Sweet vindication!

May2 I know. They can't bloody say anything properly.

georgiemama · 15/05/2008 21:11

Me first, me first.

VoodooCoconut · 15/05/2008 21:11

where is the balamory doctor, dentist and hairdresser? surely more essential than a curly headed englishman who can make a robot out of an eggbox

VoodooCoconut · 15/05/2008 21:12

I love the way the kid sings 'nur-sur-eeeh'

NurkMagiggy · 15/05/2008 21:14

Someone should do a spoof where it gets crossed with the Wicker Man.

I maintain that Archie is borderline sociopathic.
It's the way he shouts 'I know what to DO!' in that really whingy way that belies an inner violence/lack of frontal lobe.

NurkMagiggy · 15/05/2008 21:14

He was weaned too early is what.

VoodooCoconut · 15/05/2008 21:14

he learned how to 'make things' at the psychiatric unit after the operation!

Market stall man is actually called Chris McCausland and is a stand up commedian and is indeed blind. Thank you google.

The non wheelchair one from Balamory used to be in that truly amazing drama that all Scottish actors flocked to before River Shitty came on the scene - Take the High Road!

VoodooCoconut · 15/05/2008 21:18

I guessed he was blind in one eye, maybe, but didnt know both.

VoodooCoconut · 15/05/2008 21:20

do you think miss houllie gets sick of the green eyeshadow and that damned cardigan?

georgiemama · 15/05/2008 21:21

OMG Saltire, so she was! I used to love that (lived in Scotland as a bairn don't you know!).

saltire · 15/05/2008 21:22

She played Effie. I had to google it to find out
