Mrs GTi gets The Archers from the web then listens to it while I'm getting ready for bed (maybe that explains the paucity of my sex life) so she is usually running around two weeks behind. She knows there's a "biggie" coming up so I shall now have two weeks of fun teasing her about spoilers.

After the brooch business I was expecting Lizzie to have a heart attack on New Year's Eve. Or David to be shot by hay rustlers. But as soon as someone mentioned the roof it was obvious one of them was going over the edge, which was disappointing as I like both Nigel and David.
But is Nigel dead? Surely they will eke it out further by having him in a coma, or as Norm said paralysed. Either way Lizzie is going to blame David.
There's going to be trouble.

Which is of course why Fallon will end up with Harry and not Jazzer, it's those muscular thighs, and the ability to keep going 80 times a minute for up to 7 hours!
Seriously, once Helen & Henry were OK, I was thinking 'David or Nigel' for the last 10 minutes. Thought it might be Nigel as he'd given Lizzie that brooch on Friday, which will be a focus for Lizzies mourning perhaps.
I know it's heartless but I'd have preferred Helen had carcked it, but that would be too easy. Need some annoying characters for texture I suppose.
Some folks have suggested that Fallon won't get anywhere with H, due to H's penchant for muscly lycra-clad men...
Nige was ok but at least we don't have to listen N&L's vomit-inducing luvvy-doveyness. I would have had Dave fall off the roof too though.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Why isn't she dead? Why isn't that awful, unbearable, ridiculous pain in the arse dead?
Because that's how it happens. The nice people get taken and the irritating/horrible ones go on and on....
Poor Nigel. Definitely dead.
And the cycling was after his driving ban, but then he kept it up. He was arriving on his bike for stuff in the last year, I'm sure.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
Arch! What were you doing posting at 7:12 - during David's police interview? You couldn't even wait three minutes?
I didn't listen last night, but tonight's episode was a real tearjerker. The writer clearly understands sudden bereavement, and the actors lived right up to the script.

Ah, that's what's called multitasking, isn't it? After all, you listen with your ears, and type with your fingers, no?
Must excuse myself, I'm not into this Archers thingy, not at all. But for a brief period perhaps a couple of years in the 1960s, when I followed it closely. In that time one 'Jennifer' put herself in the club, unmarried, and produced a sprog, father unknown. For the 1960s, with Mary Whitehouse still prowling the airwaves, a thing utterly unheard of! Shock! Horror! Almost brought down the good old Beeb itself in a welter of scandal. But after that I lost interest, and I haven't listened to any of it since. I imagine, a lot has changed in almost half a century.....

And although not exactly at the same time, I was also eating my dinner. With chopsticks. (I had to put them down to type of course).
Not that you'd notice, no.

Errr..... chopsticks are meant to be held in just one hand. So you could have been typing with the other hand. You're really not trying hard enough, Arch, are you.....
I think typing one handed, I'd be even crapper than I am with chopsticks....
To be fair, I was managing, just before, to both use the chopsticks, AND the mouse at the same time. And in the 'wrong' hands, as I'm trying to learn to chopstick right handed, and I normally mouse with that hand.
I spend quite a lot of time using the mouse with my left hand...
Aaaaaaanyway, "Shaken to the core"? I'm so unshaken that didn't even bother to listen to tonight's episode. Mrs Norm listened and gave a brief synopsis which amounted to "No, he's definitely dead".
I don't get the "this will be felt for 10 years" and the "sAttc" BS that they put out beforehand. One of the characters died... so what? It's the third or fourth (Phil and Sid from memory, I'm sure there's another) who have gone in just over a year and it was on the same day that John Archer died...
I don't feel very shaken.
