i haven't listened to it in weeks. if the traffic's bad i'll catch tonight's episode on the way home. i see from this thread though that the Helen/Rob story-line hasn't progressed AT ALL :mad:

He's drawing the knot ever tighter, job-sharing now. Helen allegedly mis-ordered the fruit for the shop (but of course she didn't) so it was twice what was needed but R is not making TOO much fuss, just marking it down in that noble long-suffering way he has. :rolleyes:

Am waiting impatiently for the scene where Ian, who's been pointedly ignoring her calls, gives her a piece of his mind.

That already happened, she drove past him stopped and tried to speak to him but he was having nothing and .. anyhow it happened a few days ago.
 
I don't understand why Helen has contacted Adam to "pass the message onto Ian". Adam and Ian talk. Adam figures Rob told Ian. Adam murders Rob. Simple.
 
Tonight ended up arguing with Ms T about Rob's motives for all this bollocks. He is wickedness incarnate.
 
Ok, so Ms T and myself were discussing Rob's possible motivations. Ms t says 'power' and it's certainly true that over the months Rob has been weakening those around him and gradually gathering the strings and wherewithal to isolate the hapless Helen. But I wonder at the logic, since he'll destroy what he loves by this course of action.
Then I shrug and enjoy Rob for what he is; a dramatic character with motivations granted to him by dramatists

It says "on the 20th September a vehicle registered to you drove at 38mph in a 30mph zone in Oxford, you have 20 days to confirm the identity of the driver. Failure to identify the driver in 20 days will result in a fine or a court summons.

Bit far fetched. I drove in Oxford once, and seldom got above 5mph. In fact 5mph would have been cause for celebration.

Rob told Ian about Ian's boyfriend and Charlie snogging.
Ian believes Helen told Rob when she should actually have told him.
He believes she was gossiping behind his back.

Except he went much further than that - he told Ian that Adam and Charlie had been having an affair for months, and that Helen and everyone in the village knew, and that Helen had told him that (ie implicating that she'd spread all the rumours, even the ones that we know aren't true). Not just one drunken new years snog, but a whole years worth of affair.

Can someone explain to me why David's so upset about the cows going under Ruth's proposals when he was going to get rid of them altogether when she was in NZ? :confused:
Click to expand...

Because he's a spoilt selfish narcissistic wanker. The only reason he was proposing the drastic step of getting rid of the cows was to shock Ruth back to Brookfield. Now that she's stepped in and stepped up, his true feak weebleness is coming to the fore.

(I've not listened to the episode, but I suspected the getting-rid-of-the-herd thing was just a bit of a tantrum all along)
