well, quite. (I do spring across the room to switch off for the Moral Maze though as it's not good for my blood pressure)

Especially when Melanie Phillips is on. I detest her views, but it's her tone that makes me cringe most- patronising and self righteous, and she makes strange illogical segues in that really odd 'are you all stupid?' voice. Vile.
My brother knows her son and so I've met her. And she is as horrid IRL.

What is odd tho is her husband is lovely- gentle and thoughtful. And her son is a sweetie, too. No idea I out second kid- will ask my brother

I am going to listen to it tonight.
I forget the subject, something about happiness .....
Invariably I get irritated by their inability to present a coherent and rational argument, and for the presenters inability to say anything without lots of ummm arrrrr and what have you.
Admittedly it has been a while since I've listened to it properly (see above) but as I recall the panellists always seem to have made their minds up on what their position will be on the subject, and no matter how articulate or cogent the evidence presented by witnesses they won't deviate from that position. It's just an exercise in grandstanding (or showing off as I like to call it).
Annnywaaayyy, back on topic - the cliff hanger tonight is that Lizzie is a bit upset about something according to David, and my first reaction was "I bet this is something that's being covered by AmEx", as it seems to be coming out of the blue.

There was a lot of closing theme tune tonight, maybe they are moving actual content to Amex.

Is there not a phone-in programme you can let off steam on?

Isn't he Joshua Rosenburg - whenever I catch Law In Action I re-astound myself that he could be married to her.
I can actually tolerate You and Yours but I just can't do the Today Programme any more. It's their stupid bloody antagonistic ignorant questioning. Not morning commute listening.
I don't do The Moral Maze or Any Questions/Answers for obvious related reasons. And I actually quite like Down The Line, although it's horribly variable. It's still funnier than Clare In The Community or that other one with David Schneider.

I ruined my dinner the other week through furious over stirring while listening to the Moral Maze.
For 2am listening, my podcast du jour is the Desert Island Discs archive. Also brilliant for listening to in the car on long drives.

I don't know if anything happened between them, that could be juicy!!
But I expect Matt possibly lost a whole heap of money and may come back with his tail between his legs..
Or perhaps he met a Russian bride and will come back and divorce Lillian claiming half of the businesses assets, then to set up in competition to her establishing a new property development rivalry for the future !!

I've heard three episodes and asked on here and from what I gather:Does anyone listen to Ambridge Extra? Is that what amex means?
Anyway, although I don't want to care, I doWhat happened to Matt and Brenda in Russia?
Matt invested in some Russian guy who did a runner on him but he's chasing him down and has returned to London following a lead.
Brenda fell for a ?Russian bloke called ?Dimmi who seems to be lying to her about who/what he is. He's also helping Matt try to find the bloke with the money by translating etc. I think they are both also in London.
Thanks
Where did the moron appear from? I just noticed him giving boring Kathy a hard time a couple of weeks ago but I don't remember hearing anything about him.

There was some vague back story about the general manager buggering off so BL have helicoptered Martin in to keep an eye on things.
I have a horrible feeling he and K are going to end up having a relationship which is making me feel v stabby. I hope I'm wrong.

That's it.
Tonight's episode, and especially the ending (Martin & Kathy), has irritated me once too often. I'm taking a break from The Archers as I'm simply not enjoying listening to it any more. It is no longer a simple tale of country folk; it has become East Ender's or Corrie or something else from that shit ilk.
