*The Archers thread

[RedDragon]

I see. I only ever listen to the weekly podcast so I'm always a week behind. Still, she left it a bit late to mention it.

I hope I've not spoiled it for you

 

[RedDragon]

I hope I've not spoiled it for you

No it's ok. It's my own fault for looking pre podcast but sometimes the thread can move so fast peeping becomes irresistible When Nigel died for example.

OMG
Lilian you dopey mare. Matt, don't do anything daft. Paul, just fuck off and die will ya.

OMG
You predicted this over three weeks ago

 

[Shirl]

OMG
You predicted this over three weeks ago

haha, I'd forgotten that I posted that. Spooky eh

 

[belboid]

Why does pottering around for Peggy deserve a 'proper' wage whereas childminding is only worthy of 'pocket money'? Tracey's going to poison that child.

 

[Shirl]

That woman who plays Ilona, is she also the voice of one of the meerkats on the Corrie ads? She sounds like a meerkat.

 

[a_chap]

I don't know about Meerkat voices on Coronation Street but I thought Clarrie's voice has changed a bit since old Clarrie returned.

 

[Shirl]

The new Clarrie, that was the old Clarrie, sounds like a cross between the old Clarrie that was the new Clarrie and Jolene.

Will Lilian go to the funeral?

Will Matt still discover Lilian's deceit, despite Paul's death?

tbh I am not much interested in the rest of the plots that are going on atm !

 

[trashpony]

Will Matt still discover Lilian's deceit, despite Paul's death?

He already knows doesn't he?

God you could have seen Rob n Hellin coming a mile off

 

[weltweit]

He already knows doesn't he?

Yes, of course, or he at least suspects, silly me.

 

[Shirl]

Paul's ex, the former landlady of the Queen Vic, will be at the funeral and she met Lilian coming out of Paul's.

 

[story]

Paul, just fuck off and die will ya.

 

[wayward bob]

Yes, of course, or he at least suspects, silly me.

he sent a heavy round to scare paul off, that's a bit more than a suspicion

 

[Shirl]

I know. I'm embarrassed now but I had nothing to do with it. Honest

 

[weltweit]

he sent a heavy round to scare paul off, that's a bit more than a suspicion

But what does he really know. He certainly knows that Lilian went off one day with Paul and did not tell him about it. He was told that by that plonker who sometimes works for him. I suppose that is enough for suspicion, but did he really know?

 

[belboid]

ohh Matt, you cad.

 

[Shirl]

ohh Matt, you cad.

Yes, he's being really mean. He should be glad he's still got Lilian and try to nicer to her.

 

[weltweit]

Yes, he's being really mean. He should be glad he's still got Lilian and try to nicer to her.

Shirl sorry but you are just going to have to accept it, Matt is not the nice pleasant character you have mistakendly come to like, he is a deeply malevolent and manipulative person. Sorry to burst your bubble and all but he ran a couple of pensioners ragged driving one to their death, had a man beaten up and regularly mentally abuses (gently of course) his innocent partner Lilian. Need I say more?

Edited to add: And, he is a buy to let landlord, is there any animal more repulsive?

That's a bit blunt weltweit but I can't really deny any of what you say.

I've been a fool haven't I.

 

[weltweit]

I've been a fool haven't I.

maybe he was nicer at the start, I am not a long time listener but in the time I have been hearing it he has been borderline odious. Was he nicer before? You mentioned that you liked him an Lilian as a couple?

 

[Shirl]

I did think he was just right for Lilian though and I liked how he called her Pusscat. I'm sure he was nicer at the start although he was always a bit dodgy. Lilian doesn't usually go for nice men and that's why I thought they were a good couple.

 

[weltweit]

.. Lilian doesn't usually go for nice men and that's why I thought they were a good couple.

Yes recently I heard her say to her friend in the pub that she had been three times widowed? that is quite a history.

yes, I heard that and I've been a listener for about 35 years but I have a rubbish memory so no idea who the three were. She was married to someone on Jersey or Guernesy who died but it was a long time ago.

 

[belboid]

No, he was always an absolute bastard. But what a character.

 

[pseudonarcissus]

I'm sure he'll get his cummupance, I think he'll end up holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in Croatia.

I love the Jazza spying on the flower arrangements, that's classic archers

Ambridge Extra Series 5 starts Tuesday 2.15pm R4extra

Away from Ambridge, Lilian finds a bit of solace, but the stress is building for Matt.

 

[Shirl]

I've been a Lilian fan for many years but she's had it from me now. I think she's become right bitch lately and I'm glad that Brenda told her what she could do with her job. I just hope those fickle script writers don't start playing mind games...

 

[RedDragon]

My usual omnibus automatic podcast download was replace with 'Ambridge Extra' which consisted of Matt and Lilian on holiday bickering, an enthusiastic local wanting to sell them a necklace and a dodgy russian with a big yacht. YUK!
