The Archers: Ed’s taking care of Emma … Alice and Chris return from Grey Gables … Debbie’s gone home … the Millennium Wood Picnic
- Why was Ed surprised that the baby had a heart?
- Boys will be boys
- What the feuck was Ruairi ‘s accent?
- Lynda’s current projects
- Artichokes
- Ah – it’s “Aldridge Millennium wood”
- Vicky was very quiet about her cake
Why was Ed surprised that the baby had a heart?
You’d think that a chap who’s been around cattle all his life would know a bit more about pregnancy.
Anyway, it’s nice to hear a genuinely happy couple.
They’re keeping Emma’s pregnancy a secret. I wonderful if that’s anything to do with Will?
Just how will he react? Especially if Ed and Emma’s baby just happens to be born on George’s birthday.
If there was ever a candidate for the murder rumoured to be happening in early 2011, I think Will murdering Ed has to be the top contender.
“Hello tiny Grundy … I’m your daddy”
Here’s hoping Ed and Emma are left alone to enjoy their baby, that Will keeps well away, and that wee George doesn’t get left to one side …
Boys will be boys
Ah, bless Chris. He may now be a married man (to an Aldridge, no less), but he still gets excited by a big plasma TV, with all the sports channels.
It sounded like he was sensible enough not to sit and watch it the entire time he and Alice were in their luxury suite at Grey Gables.
So he may be a boy, but at least he’s a boy who knows when it’s time for sports, and time for romance.
What the feuck was Ruairi ‘s accent?
As warming as it is to see the teeny tots starting to have their friendships (George and Ruairi), what on earth was going on with Ruairi’s accent?
I know he’s bound to have a bit of a Irish hint, but it sounded like he was a bloke down the pub trying to do a Father Ted.
Most decidedly odd.
Lynda’s current projects
As well as a leading light of the Millennium Wood picnic, Lynda’s also now going to be planting around the village, is going to encourage the Peregrines to return, and will still have time to enter the flower and produce show.
Artichokes
First Ed is being a bit over enthusiastic about helping Emma over fences, then he gets obsessed with artichokes.
Which is fair enough, as Emma was very over excited about Jennifer’s quiche. Which seemingly had artichokes. Which Ed has never had before, but wants to get hold of.
We can only assume he thinks Emma has an artichoke craving.
What a sweet man he is. The baby is only the size of a fingernail, yet he’s already well and truly committed to making sure Emma is properly looked after.
Bless.
The only slight concern I have is that we’re now in for 9 months of loved up Ed and Emma. That could be a very nice thing, or we could be the ones with nausea …
Could there also be wedding bells?
Ah – it’s “Aldridge Millennium wood”
Thanks for the clarification, Jennifer.
Is there nothing they don’t own?
Vicky was very quiet about her cake
Infact, she didn’t even utter a peep.
How odd.
The Archers: Community planting … David outs Alice’s marriage into context
- Matt’s doing grand for his age
- Does that explain why Kathy is such a xxxx?
- An acre in a box
- “at least we got a working Horrobin with no criminal record, so far”
- Is anyone good at breakfast small talk?
- Party!
- Yes Kenton – you are just damned!
Matt’s doing grand for his age
63 on Saturday.
Good on you, me old mucker.
Does that explain why Kathy is such a xxxx?
She “quite fancies” some of the old folks’ trips out.
57 going on 82?
An acre in a box
That sounds like a lovely way to do some ‘community planting’.
Although, I am amazed they’ve managed to even find a wee strip of land to plant on. Between Council rules and reticent landowners, I’d have thought they’d have to do another round of guerrilla gardening to get anything down.
“at least we got a working Horrobin with no criminal record, so far”
You can always depend on Brian to find the positive side of anything (albeit sarcastically!).
And David should have given him something to think about. Chris is certainly no Jude!
Is anyone good at breakfast small talk?
Well, I know some folks are just bursting with happiness and energy first thing, but it’d hardly be easy for Chris to chat away at breakfast when (a) it is Brian and Jennifer he’s got to chat to, who are (b) fairly unhappy that he’s married their daughter and (c) they are blatantly snobs about his family.
Party!
Are you also getting the impression that this party is going to be quite a traditional English farce?
Alice is excited. Jennifer’s hoping it’ll go away. Susan is beside herself with glee. And Brian reckons that the more people invited, the more the ‘Horrobin quarter” will be “diluted”.
That’s got to spell trouble.
Yes Kenton – you are just damned!
If he does something, he’s shouted at. If he doesn’t, he’s shouted at.
But it’s hard to feel sorry for Kenton when he’s created at least half of this mess with Kathy
“I don’t even care”
I couldn’t have said it better myself
The Archers: Joe’s boycott is over …Kathy calls Jamie’s teacher … Vicky discovers Tom’s no longer interested in making Veal and Ham Pies
- Energy Bars and working out
- What’s a Millennium Wood?
- £4.50!!!
- Goodness me Kathy. Stop it!
- That’s it Brenda. We’re truly over.
- You won’t get away with that one, Tom
Energy Bars and working out
What’s Josh up to then?
Jamie’s right that all this preening must be for something other than to relieve boredom.
First he finds his voice, not he seems to have found his …
What’s a Millennium Wood?
I know there was lots of projects and 'stuff’ built and done to celebrate the millennium, but how does a forest figure?
Am I just being dense, or can a forest be created in inly 10 years???
£4.50!!!
When I was Josh’s age, I had 25p on a Friday to go to the local shop. I got a magazine, a juice, a packet of crisps and a wee poke of sweeties.
I also walked to school in the snow, had chance from 5p after going to the pictures and had second hand clothes until I was 18 …
Goodness me Kathy. Stop it!
I think we can all sympathise with Jamie in his frustration over Kathy.
We’ve all had enough. We all need a break. Please!!!
I do agree with Kathy that you have to watch what you post, say and do on the internet – but can’t she wind her neck in for just a second? Does doing the ‘right thing’ have to always come first?
“Mum – but that’s crazy”
Especially when Jamie’s teacher (Jackie Osborne) doesn’t really give much of a hoot about her picture being up and out.
But, even after Kathy knows that Jacky finds it rather funny. She still can’t let it go.
At this rate, she’ll lose a son as well as a partner.
That’s it Brenda. We’re truly over.
I may think you’re a bit dim. I may not understand what on earth you see in Tom’s Sausages. But, you’ve never irked or upset me. So I thought we were rubbing along quite nicely.
BUT that was before you uttered:
“See the amount of cosmetics she needs to stop her falling apart”
You were laughing at our Lilian. Unforgiveable.
Quite simply, you’re not good enough to even collect her shopping.
You won’t get away with that one, Tom
And while I’m on about Brenda, she surely isn’t going to let her dad’s wife spend her time and money on a venture she knows won’t work?
Hopefully she’s letting Tom wind her up (by saying that he isn’t going on with the veal and ham pies because it “didn’t feel right somehow” and that he’s let her down), but I’m not quite sure.
And lest we forget that we haven’t as yet seen the full version of Vicky’s nasty side.
I know who’d my money would be on …
