Helen always has to have Complications, doesn't she? It's one of the laws of Ambridge.

Yes, I think I heard her laughing earlier in the week, about Tom's shrink wrapping crisis, so they need to redress the balance of gloom.

He is just so revolting. She knows how to pick 'em, doesn't she?

That's true, can't decide which one is more barftastic (K+J or H+R). Probably H+R, but it's a close call.
(Haven't a romantic bone in my body, before you ask).

God I wish I understood The Archers, just so I could join in these threads.
I've had it on as background noise on and off for years and this morning was quite entertained by someone not being allowed to play "I Fought The Law" on the bagpipes, but I still don't understand. Even when I force myself to really concentrate I don't understand.

I bet she posts in Relationships and gets a thorough flaming.

I've been listening actively for over 30 years and passively for 20 years before that and I can't claim to understand it either. TA passeth all understanding. Will Kirsty keep her mouth shut about Helen and Rob? I hope not.

I feel like the odd one out in that it all makes perfect sense - Been listening for more years than I like to remember though!

Me too stay away, I love it. Fwiw I think Helen and Rob are a good match, he's got baggage which is what Helen always goes for and her mother disapproves of him.

WTF is Rob tHough ? Is he a new comer ?!
not that new. He's the manager for Brian's megadairy. He's got a wife who won't move to Ambridge because of her job (I think).

I used to keep up with TA but I'm really behind with it all atm. However my loathing for whiny Helen remains undiminished. I turned it on the other day and what do I hear - yada, yada, yada my wife doesn't understand me - "You poor thing" - "Oh Helen!" - followed by the dreaded Archers snog which always sounds like a toilet being plunged. (We can't work out that they've fallen into each other's arms of course - there always have to be those grim sucky noises)

Gross!

I don't really understand who Rob is but by the sounds of his self-pitying moan I reckon he's a scheming liar/bigamist/wrongun and it will all go tits up for Helen again.

Also heard Jolene planning her wedding but I had no idea who to!

Who is the man who keeps telling Cathy off?

Joleneis marrying Kenton, so she'll become an Archer.

The horrible man telling CKathy off is on the board of Borchester Land and is for some reason looking into how the golf club is run.

I thought I'd caught every episode in years, but somehow missed what happened between Lizzie and the dishy golf/tutor chap. They were heading for romance then nothing, what did I miss?

Lizzy invited Ifti round for dinner, had got rid of the kids for the evening and put "Move Closer" on the CD.....the got all flustered when he made a move.
Don't think we've heard from him since Hmm
