btw, if anyone's curious about the window smashing, you can listen to the last 2 mins of the ep 6 Extra podcast.
Much of the rest is a bit wanky, but it's properly worth hearing Phoebe pissed (having stolen Kate's vodka), rejected (having tried to snog her best mate's older sister's boyfriend) and smashing shit up with a tyre lever.
Think you hear a snippet of Kate being rejected by her bit on the side, too!

Tyre lever? What? I'm sorry but who has a tyre lever to hand these days?
Unless you're a cyclist of course
Though tbf I might've been confusing it with another piece of maintenance metal.
Old skool tyre levers = top notch weaponry.

He's in an expensive prep school. Probably had the piss ripped out of him and called a bog-trotter in his first week.
I know a Welsh kid living in Ireland who spoke in a Welsh accent to his family and switched effortlessly to broad Cork with his mates.
Alt. my sister used to spend her weekends helping at a play centre for brain damaged children, and one of them developed a broad Scouse accent following a head trauma. Family from Surrey, lived in Surrey, etc, etc, just something seemed to've tweaked the language / enunciation bits of his brain in a way that was remarkably close to Scouse.
So it could be brain injury, as perhaps suggested by his attachment to a Grundy concrete dog.

When the world came apart, where were you?

That's exactly my point.
Who the hell has that sort of tyre lever these days? I'm guessing when you have a new tyre on your car you get it fitted rather than heaving the car tyre off a rim and refitting / balancing it yourself.
Yet another reason TA needs a reality check IMO.
Me? I did use a bike tyre lever yesterday to repair a couple of punctures when I was trundling through the Cotswalds. People would have been wise to avoid annoying me when I have a 3" plastic tyre lever in my hand. Effin' lethal they are

I've succeeded in Lilian-ness on the fags and booze front but I can't quite do the dirty laugh.

One thing I don't understand is tha apparent incompetence of Borsetshire's boys in blue. Surely they have the technology to trace the calls going into Brookfield. And having taken Keith in twice presumably they have grounds to get all his phone records from O2 or whoever, together with tower dumps so they know where he was.
Is it really so easy to make anonymous calls nowadays?
Or did the austerity drive mean detective functions were outsourced to Group 4.
Seriously, we've not had long cups of tea with Dock Geen's finest being reassuring, together with no detective work it all seems a little disconcerting for a usually establishment BBC. Little old ladies living in the countryside must be quaking with fear for Broken Britain, and the failure of the establishment to protect the yeomanry.
Where is detective boy when you need expert appraisal of the credibility of this plot?

I seem to have got over my total Archers embargo that started when they killed Nigel, but am now in a weird situation where I am listening to the odd episode but never really getting into it.

So far. My husband is predicting the first learning-disabled child in Ambridge. No-one ever mentions Christyfer's cleft lip, Daniel's Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis or Mike's one eye.

I'm listinging to just about all the episodes and I'm not really getting into it either.
The episodes where not much happens are best, the big climaxes seem to be badly handled. Do people accused of threatening witnesses get off on police bail that easily? I suspect they just skipped on research.
Anyway, I just hope Adam hurries up an elopes to Poland with whatshisname and is not heard of for another 20 years, missing his day in court making the case against the Horrobins collapse and leaving Ian to live happily ever after with Ifty

Yup, remand prisons (as well as all the rest) are stuffed to the gunwales, so often bail but with conditions eg Not within 1 mile of Ambridge or whatever and sometimes with reporting to the police station every day etc etc.

Ok, I just assumed it was treated as a throw away the key type crime rather than mild stalking

It was a Horrobin what did it
