Nigel says yes, Mike says no, Ed says no on behalf of Emma
Yup, it’s most definitely Panto audition time again.
And there’s no escape this year, what with Lynda volunteering in the Village Shop.
Folks can’t move for Lynda strong arming them to be a donkey when they were just after a pint of milk.
(I know, there probably even isn’t a donkey in Dick Wittington…
Lynda is especially sad to hear that Mike won’t be auditioning:
“But he made such a superlative dame last time!”
*shudder*
“All in all, I’ve failed at everything”
As much as Vicky does irritate, I do believe her when she says she was only trying to contribute (in Mike’s business).
Neither her nor Ed are speaking to each other (a little unsold veal goes a long way indeed), but I don’t think Ed really noticed. He has other, more brutal, enemies to consider …
At least Lynda tried to cheer her up:
“You tried to improve the lot of those poor animals … one can’t always succeeded you know”
Quite right, but I must admit I fail to understand how keeping those bull calves to be killed for veal was any better than them being killed almost after birth.
“I’m expecting Brian to be quite vociferous”
So said Lynda prior to the meeting about the Peregrines, while asking Vicky to come along to support her.
Later on, Lynda wishes she’d never even mentioned her birds to Vicky
Sparring with Brian before even either of them put their case for (Lynda) or against (Brian) the Peregrine nesting platform, Lynda even put to boot into Will
“No need to wait [for Will] … we’re going to hear with his master’s voice anyway”
The argument in short:
Lynda:
“Should be honoured … wonderful species chosen Ambridge”
(on the aesthetic impact) “nesting platform will be crafted and entirely removable”
(on bits of dead things falling on churchgoers bonnets) “It will be on the east side of the tower”
“Two peregrines aren’t going to make the difference”
Brian
(who generally stressed the importance of the village shoot – for jobs, other businesses, and nature. Fair enough, but don’t think those pheasants will agree)
“Profligate killers – don’t even eat all of their kill”
“What about the bird hide?” (and the birds at it)
Other folks also chipped in:
[Nigel] “ Instead of seeing them as a threat … creating balance in the ecosystem”
[Nigel] “Peregrines take their prey in flight” (so are little danger to the shoot birds)
[Vicky] “I have a pole feeder”
(*chuckle*)
[Vicky] “What about the birds in my garden – will they be killed as well?”
(*glare* just listen properly, Vicky)
In the end, it was hard to tell exactly who won the argument:
[Brian] “I’m not suggesting should be shot out of the sky …”
[Lynda] “ … unlike your pheasants”
[Lynda] “You’re protecting your assets”
[Brian] “And in the process doing a great deal to support the nature environment … contribution the shoot makes to biodiversity”
Lynda certainly didn’t feel she’d won over Brian, and felt quite betrayed by Vicky’s turncoat from supporter to opponent.
Lynda didn’t even want to walk home with Vicky. Fancy that.
Hey, there, psycho Will …
… revving up the lane to scare Ed’s cows
(sing the above to “Georgy Girl” by The Seekers)
Oh that Will is just beyond the joke now.
Unless Ed was being as cheeky as Will thinks (which I don’t think he was), Will is super aggressive, super angry and supper paranoid.
Would Ed really have let the cows into the lane because he saw Will driving up?
Would Ed really care whether he made Will late/have to wait?
[Ed] “get over yourself …you’re a joke … grow up”
[Will] “I ain't got time for you and your childish games”
It’s all in your mind, Will.
All in that rather terrifyingly furious mind.
Odds on Amy delivering Helen and/or Emma’s babies?
According to Alan, Amy has applied for a midwife job at Felpersham General’s Women’s unit.
I reckon she’ll either deliver one, both, or will be on-hand for a fraught unplanned home birth.
“I’ll have you out of your cabin, spitting teeth, before you know it”
Will’s behaviour most definitely did not go unchecked by Ed.
“Don’t. You. Ever. Do. That. Again”
After meeting Will’s aggression with aggression, Ed actually manages to get Will to back down.
But then pushes beyond his advantage when I think he should have walked away.
That last dig will only have only made Will more determined to get even more revenge …
“Do partridges really live in pear trees?”
Ah Vicky.
You are a bit annoying.
But you can be quite funny (on purpose) sometimes.
Just make try and not wind up Will about Ed and Emma having a baby.
I really don’t think he cares who he hits …
