Egluntyne Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Is it just me or would anyone else like to punch Jennifer's lights out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Yes!!! Sorry, I really shouldn't get involved as I keep telling Mum off for listening to the rubbish. Jennifer is such a hypocrite-after all he had to look after her kids, who were of no relation to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HennyPenny Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Definitely! But is it only me who gets irritated beyond belief when Brian keeps calling Siobhan 'Darling'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 No...me too...he is a twerp....but he did bring up Jennifer's brats so under the circs the least she could do is look out for poor Ruari....he is Alice's half brother after all.

Martin B Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 ... sad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 don't forget, as well as him taking on Jennifer's two kids when he married her, she hasn't exactly been as pure as the driven snow. Remember when she met up with Roger Travers-Macy again a few years ago, and we heard rustling of sheets in a motel? Having said that, Brian has been a bit of a rake. Still, it's clear that she's going to say yes when it comes to it, she might as well put us all out of our misery. Sorry Martin, you mean it's sad that Siobhan is so ill, obviously. I'm sure you wouldn't dare to cast scorn on our obsession with this everyday tale of country folk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrookhamChooks Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Brian has put Jenny Darling in an impossible situation ..... but this has been written far better than the ridiculous Ruth/Sam/David nonsense. What I am waiting for is Peggy to be her usual self righteous and repellent self when the unspellable Ruairi(?) arrives at Home Farm.

Kathy C Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Good I'm glad I'm not the only one to think Jennifer needs to take a good hard look at herself. (I only listen once a week....to the Omnibus....a sure sign of impending middle age) I hope not, I started listening aged 11 - that was 27 years ago. I listen daily and record it when I have to be out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn in Bristol Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 What I want to know is why does Ruari have such a broad Irish accent - he's been brought up in Germany, after all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrookhamChooks Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Well, he is still very young and so his accent will have been mainly influenced by his mother. I know he had various childminders, but he probably wasn't spending enough time with them for it to have much influence on his accent yet. Besides, its probably quite hard to find a child actor capable of doing a mixed Irish/German accent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy C Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Any one else think Adam and Ian will "adopt" Ruari in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Any one else think Adam and Ian will "adopt" Ruari in the end? Good Idea....and then Adam won't get into a sulk about inheriting things...as he will be able to pass the inheritance on to Ruari...and have a shot at bringing up a child....Get onto the script writers asap!

Laura & CTB Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 CTB says; (and it's him that listens NOT ME) if Adam adopts with Ian, his Dad's dad is his Dad, the song I'm my own Grandpa springs to mind!!

ubereglu Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Sorry if you got the opinion I thought the Archer's was rubbish Annie!!! I meant that in the great scheme of the world and other important things you weren't missing much if you don't know what's going on. I don't think you would have liked the rather odd housemate my brother used to live with-she banned the Archer's when she lived there!

CrookhamChooks Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Any one else think Adam and Ian will "adopt" Ruari in the end? Nah ......... Brian's barely repressed homophobia won't allow it. He'd be worried they might 'influence' him. I loathe Brian. Mind you, there aren't many Archers characters I do like. Caroline and Clarrie are I think the only ones who haven't really annoyed me in the 20 years I've been listening. Who do you all dislike, and why?

Olly Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Sanctimonious, hypocritical, two-timing Shula, for a start! Irritating Ruth and smug David. I like the baddies best - Lilian is an absolute joy, and Eddie Grundy never fails to entertain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy C Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Shula and Alistair irritate me, they seem to get wound up all the time. I also find Kenton annoying because he is so immature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
