The Archers

That's what TA does Scribbles. If you listen for long enough it "recycles". Come to think of it most soaps do I suppose. Meredith is definitely just a made up alibi (gay one) for Lily's frolickin.

Aww! I'm all disappointed now. I think Juniper's a lovely name.

I have a niece called Jennifer Juniper. Born in the early seventies, in case you hadn't guessed.

Rosie Ruth. That's lovely.?

My money’s on Jill. Do we know the sex of the baby?

I think anyone called Rosie Ruth might well grow up to hate her parents! It may be cute for a new born but it's a bit twee for an adult.

I have a GD called Rosie.

I think either name is fine on its own, Luckygirl but, for me, the alliterative juxtaposition of Rosie and Ruth is jarring.

Only just come across this thread.

No-one is as villainous as Matt is being portrayed...……...I have never met anyone who encapsulates evil to this degree.

George Warleggan?

Hope this bubs is going to be able to say her 'R's' correctly!!!

Wosie Woof. ??

Scribbles - my DGD has a one syllable surname that also begins with R!!!!! - you are in a hole - stop digging!!!!

I think Rosie is a 'happy' name.

I have a friend called Rosie, she's 65 and her name suits her well. I like the use of Ruth as her middle name and appreciate she will be called Rosie Ruth Archer - great choice.

It's so long since he was around that I can't remember much about Robin Fairbrother. Was he always a pretentious wine bore?
He also doesn't seem to grasp that farmers have to work. Is Jill going to start stockpiling flapjacks?
I'm smirking at the thought of Harrison's extracurricular little earner when at uni. It's all going to come out, isn't it?

I wondered whether Harrison was winding Chris up?

It did sound a bit far fetched. I think Chris will tell Alice who’ll spill the beans.

Anyone else thinks Alistair is going to try and top himself?

Is anyone else delighted that Brian is having to sell his house? He has got away with all sorts of things over the years. I hope he doesn't get rescued somehow.

I hope Alistair doesn't try suicide Nfk, only because the idea of anyone reaching that point is so distressing. I haven't heard the episode where he fails to respond to Shula's emergency call and Topper dies but that will add to Shula's fire, as well as to Alistair's growing feeling that he's got nothing positive to keep anyone in his life.
loopy loo - no I'm not delighted Brian is having to sell "his" house. It's the family home, 50% of it belongs legally to Jenny Darling. I'm very sad for Jenny and for the rest of the family. Adult children usually return to the family home whenever there is something to celebrate or commiserate about. If the house sale does go ahead, the impact on every family member is negative.

Seeing as Anthony Head who plays Robin is the good looking man who used to be in the Gold Blend adverts years ago, I'm looking forward to one of those pretentious scenes where they just have to mention the coffee is fresh in the pot as though nobody in Ambridge ever opens a jar of instant.

He'll reach into his man bag and murmur sexily, 'No thank you, I've brought my own.'

I know that TA isn't real life but I do feel sorry that the Aldridge's are having to sell their house because of bad decisions Brian made years ago - I know he has made a lot of those, but so have some in RL. This is not an unknown scenario in RL and has ended in terrible tragedy for some families - one not far from where I live. I also think the storyline about Shula and Alistair is sad because they are playing out what many couples go through and can also end tragically.

Lazigirl, join the clan. I know it isn't RL but feel I know these people. I've missed today's episode. When is Freddie going to get arrested I wonder? I do hope he does't end up in a Thai jail -

Iam64 - I don't think he'll even get out of the country, the county even, silly berk. He's obviously not learnt 'Don't foul your own nest'

Elrel I can't tell you how relieved I was when PC Burns, wearing a frock and at his own stag do, arrested Freddie for drug dealing. There may be a little local difficulty with the arrest, given PC Burns had drink taken and was off duty but I do hope the arrest withstands the money thrown at the defence by poor old Lizzie.

My relief is that Freddie will face justice in Borcestshire, rather than in somewhere like South Africa or Thailand where go to jail, do not pass go etc really means something awful.

At last. Freddy arrested.

Poor Eluzabeth especially when it comes out that Lily is having a relationship with a married man. Who'd be a parent!!!
