*The Archers thread

[dolly's gal]

also, who is ian?

 

[belboid]

Tom was an eco warrior with his ex Kirsty. The racist was dead Sid the landlord of the Bull. He was homophobic too.

one of the younger ones was racist too - shoved shit thru Usha's door.

right. and why is rob the only one who knows where tom is? are they mates?

Rob knows everything about everything, so gave advice to Tom on how to ruin his business, which tom lapped up

 

[belboid]

Run his business, sorry, run his business. Honestly.

 

[dolly's gal]

as a newbie, i have to say, i quite like rob. who is the one that everyone's up in arms about cos he's moved in with a woman with a kid and he used to be married? is that rob too?

 

[belboid]

also, who is ian?

Adam's civil partner. Adam being Jennifers son from her fling with a random cowman

Yes. He's only there cos - he wants the cottage. He's a control freak whose found a naive and gullible partner

Yeah. He moved to the village to manage the dairy, started seeing the ghastly Hellin, but was still married and lying about it. Hellin has forgiven him, predictably, but her parents are struggling to, especially as he is spending a lot of time interfering- he's now trying to persuade Hellin to dump the organic aspect of the shop and work less by the sounds of it. He's creepy as fuck

really? this insight is most helpful. and there was i thinking he seemed like a really nice bloke! had me totally fooled if truth be told

did you hear the episode where he and Ian went training? Dodgy as fucketty fuck. And the constant lying, of course.

but i thought Tony's mum was up for getting rid of the organic status too?? and she seems sound as a pound! also, Hellin??? who spells it that way???

 

[Manter]

Hellin and Henry were living with her parents till Rob came along, causing a family rift and them moving out. Worth reading lowfields (link I posted earlier) on the while getting together, lying about being married etc stuff.

 

[dolly's gal]

maybe. i can't quite work out who Ian is. i'll tune in this evening and see i can work it out...

 

[belboid]

Ian's the Irish one

 

[Manter]

Peggy? She's very, very interfering and treats Tony like a failure- she's always telling him how to run the business or the family, offering money etc. Tbf he is a bit of a drip at times, but she really doesn't help. She's not nasty, just has got into a habit of treading on him. And I don't think she does spell it like that, it just sounds like it

did you hear the episode where he and Ian went training? Dodgy as fucketty fuck. And the constant lying, of course.

and the stag do stunt e2a and telling the new manager and the family different things about nursery drop odds- constant, unnecessary lies.

isn't tony the one who bought a bunch of cows who then got tb?? i mean, c'mon man! wake up!

 

[belboid]

and the stag do stunt

I missed the stag do, what did the bastard do?

 

[dolly's gal]

the stag do was a bit of a damp squib iirc

 

[belboid]

isn't tony the one who bought a bunch of cows who then got tb?? i mean, c'mon man! wake up!

they had TB when he bought them, not his fault (tho he was an arse about the whole thing. Not helped by the new Tony's even moanier voice)

 

[dolly's gal]

they had TB when he bought them, not his fault (tho he was an arse about the whole thing. Not helped by the new Tony's even moanier voice)

right, so he bought a bunch of cows with TB! no wonder peggy doesn't rate him!

 

[belboid]

thy didnt all have TB, and it was undetectable at time of purchase. Not his fault at all.

Peggy knows nothing about anything. She just has money.

 

[Manter]

I missed the stag do, what did the bastard do?

Spiked Tom's drink, but Jazza (spelling?) swapped it for Kenton's. Poor Kenton ended up on a train to nowhere.

 

[dolly's gal]

Peggy knows nothing about anything. She just has money.

rob seems to rate her.

lol

 

[Manter]

They didn't have TB- they showed unusual markers later on, they had to be tested so were quarantined... They later turned out to be clear. But in the meantime Tom went batshit at Tony, accusing him of endangering all their livelihoods. The same Tom who was feeding the organic pigs non organic feed thereby...you guessed it.... Endangering their livelihoods.

Peggy is still taking Tom's side, just because she has such a down on Tony

 

[Manter]

rob seems to rate her.

She's the only one who agrees with him about big agribusiness, and appears not to mind about the whole wife thing.

 

[belboid]

rob seems to be after her cash.

corrected for you

Rob is destroying Hellin's support network, leaving it so there is only him to rely on (doubly so once he's killed Peggy). Fortunately he is due to die when the megadairy is the centre of a massive counter-terrorism operation gone horribly wrong.

 

[belboid]

She's the only one who agrees with him about big agribusiness, and appears not to mind about the whole wife thing.

the latter bit is understandable, she made a good lil speech about the horrors and problems of being trapped in a loveless marriage with a terrible partner (oh the ironing!)

 

[Manter]

This thread is v creeped out by Rob

 

[dolly's gal]

wow you guys know your stuff! i genuinely hadn't read all this conspiracy stuff into it. i shall listen more intently in future. mind still not made up about Rob mind you.

 

[Manter]

the latter bit is understandable, she made a good lil speech about the horrors and problems of being trapped in a loveless marriage with a terrible partner (oh the ironing!)

But wasn't she just projecting? The conversations you heard him have with his wife, and when she turned up.... Dunno, didn't sound like a loveless trap to me. More like him trying to have the proverbial eaten cake
