*The Archers thread

[TikkiB]

I was pleased too but how long before Adam's wandering eye alights on someone new?

 

[wiskey]

You know how you imagine things and then you Google them... I always thought Bartleby was a big shaggy shire horse, dunno why.

He's a pony

 

[TikkiB]

and that is why I NEVER google characters from the Archers!

 

[wiskey]

I have learned my lesson!

 

[Shirl]

I have learned my lesson!

I always thought he was a scraggy little black and white pony. I've not googled because seeing as he's nearly dead there's no point me getting used to whatever he really does look like.

That actually made me snort

What I came on here to say is ...

WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO COOK PASTA

 

[bluescreen]

My son was shocked in his first week at uni to discover someone burned a pan cooking pasta because they didn't realise it needed water. Another student wrecked the kettle by putting milk in it for her cocoa.

actually you've just reminded me of my uni housemate who cooked pasta by putting an inch of oil in a saucepan, heating it to inferno levels and then adding the pasta - instantly welding it to the pan and THEN adding the cold water .... I'm not sure how I forgot about that tbh.

 

[bluescreen]

You're right about Bartleby, wiskey, btw. I thought he was a strapping great horse too.

 

[trashpony]

FFS how old is Pip? Stropping off and being webellious after a row with grandma?

Pathetic. I can't believe Ruth and David are allowing her to get away with being such a BRAT

 

[belboid]

She really did sound like a 12 year old. It's a decent potential storyline, but done crapply.

Classic Archers

 

[TikkiB]

I hate Pip, both the character, and the acting thereof. Proper nails down a blackboard stuff.

I normally listen to the omnibus, but if this week is Pip-centric I may just give it a miss


And Bartleby is a Clydesdale,end of story! He's a CARThorse for goodness sake!

 

[wiskey]

And Bartleby is a Clydesdale,end of story! He's a CARThorse for goodness sake!

So what does that mean? To me the words carthorse implies big, and shaggy.

 

[wiskey]

I have this theory that now they've got a new editor they are trying to ditch all their newly converted audience by referring to storylines that happened 50 years ago that you have to be a lifelong Archers fan to remember and out of date shit like hunting all the master stuff is cringe worthy.

 

[FiFi]

Clydesdales are very big and shaggy. That's why I've always pictured Bartley as one.
I avoid googling pictures of the Archers characters, I don't want my illusions shattered!

 

[wiskey]

Oh good I wish they'd stop referring to him as a pony then

 

[catinthehat]

He's a pony

I thought he was a ferret. Inconsistent listening plays many tricks.

 

[two sheds]

Toby's the ferret

 

[a_chap]

No, he's a weasel.

 

[FiFi]

No, he's a weasel.

Now steady on, that's a little unfair ......on weasels.

 

[red & green]

I loathe Shula since her objection to Usha' marriage she is not only a racist she's a fox killer - horrible - I'm surprised the husband hasn't got a permanent chair in the bookies

 

[TikkiB]

I wonder if he was so keen to sell off the practice so he can pay off some gambling debts

 

[TikkiB]

Alice is being added to 'the people I hate' on TA list

 

[wiskey]

I always thought Alice was going to be different.... but no. she's grown into a clone of her mother.

 

[a_chap]

Alice is being added to 'the people I hate' on TA list

You ought to start a list of charaters that no-one hates in TA.

Joe Grundy would be one.

And Bartleby. He'd make the list too surely.

And possibly Fallon?

 

[wiskey]

I like Kirsty

And Salieri
