Installing Indoor Cat Tree

[Egluntyne]

Is it just me or would anyone else like to punch Jennifer's lights out?

[ubereglu]

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.

[HennyPenny]

Definitely! But is it only me who gets irritated beyond belief when Brian keeps calling Siobhan 'Darling'?

[Egluntyne]

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]

... sad!

[Olly]

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.

[CrookhamChooks]

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]

Good I'm glad I'm not the only one to think Jennifer needs to take a good hard look at herself.

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.

[Lynn in Bristol]

What I want to know is why does Ruari have such a broad Irish accent - he's been brought up in Germany, after all?

 

[CrookhamChooks]

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

[Kathy C]

Any one else think Adam and Ian will "adopt" Ruari in the end?

[Egluntyne]

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]

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!!

 

 

I havent the foggiest whats going on

[ubereglu]

Don't worry Laura, you're not missing out on too much!

[AnnieP]

rubbish... Its FAB!!!!

Boo to anyone who doesn't like the Archers

[ubereglu]

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!

[AnnieP]

I'd have thrown her out!

[red]

(I only listen once a week....to the Omnibus....a sure sign of impending middle age)

Oh dear - I hope that's not true

[CrookhamChooks]

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]

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.

[Egluntyne]

I'm still having flashbacks to the infamous "shower Scene".

 

It was all the more horrible for being left to the imagination!

[CrookhamChooks]

Indeed!

 

Mind you, the Sam 'n Ruth slurping noises were pretty offputting

[Kathy C]

Shula and Alistair irritate me, they seem to get wound up all the time. I also find Kenton annoying because he is so immature.
