ArcherphileApril 5, 2026 at 8:57 PM Surely that wasn’t the usual Adam? The voice sounded entirely different. I must look up the cast list to check. And a rather silly story about Robert and the budgie. SWs trying to lighten the mood a little perhaps?

AmbridgesMrsPApril 5, 2026 at 11:13 PM I think the SWs are changing Roberts character. This is the second time within a few days that he has been ever so slightly unpleasant. Coming from a character who for ever has been mild mannered and emollient it’s a change to my ears.
OldWomanInAShoeApril 6, 2026 at 7:57 AM Robert likes watching birds in their natural habitat. That's rather different from having one in a cage. And animals require time and attention. I'd be pretty miffed if someone suddenly gifted me with an animal. (Although in this case, Lynda is clearly charmed by the new bundle of feathers and will gladly take on the caring duties.(Until Salieri/Constanza - the one that's not dead - runs rampant and eats Tweetie Pie.))
I had to look up SCOTUS to confirm Supreme Court, “OTUS, ie of the United States does invite lots of acronyms. Much local fund raising to restore our local church, took a few years
It wasn’t the context of Roberts irritation but rather the delivery, and not for the first time. Perhaps it is that I have not become accustomed to the new voice of Robert Snell. Not sure that I will !
Re the Budgie business ……. Who was it that gave Robert the budgie on his birthday ? I thought it was Akram, which seemed a bit strange. But now I hear it was young Kahlil, which is even more strange. How would Kahlil know it was Robert’s birthday? And from where did he get the budgie? It’s all a bit of a mystery to me. If Robert wants to give it back he could always say the feathers make Lynda sneeze, a sort of feathered hay fever!
Our local church suffered more than a bit of the ceiling falling in a few years ago, now open again after a sympathetic rebuild
ReplyDeleteKP - did the locals contribute, financially or physically?
DeleteI hope George got his bike from the back of Chris's van, it sounded as if he walked off in a hurry.

ReplyDeleteYes, your first sentence OWIAS, Robert said so himself, but Lynda wants it, so it will stay.

Worry not! Llamas are herbivores.
Brian is becoming alarmingly like the POTUS with his constant changes of mind.

ME had to look it up, thought it was some character from children's literature, well...

I presume Melania is known as FLOTUS ?

Have checked the cast list AP usual actor for Adam listed, maybe he had a cold?

ReplyDeleteThat’s correct, Archerphile! And SCOTUS is.....?

I can’t cope with all these acronyms.

Thy synopsis says that George cycles off, so that's all right.
