Sturmey Archer’s Slipped Cogs

Yes

Rochelle and her brilliance

I do think Joy could grow into a decent character

Unfortunately, her introduction has been such that every time she opens her mouth I want to rip her throat out. Pus she called this (real or mythical - she did seem to be suggesting last night that 12 hours is a long labour, which suggests a lack of acquaintance with the process) daughter ‘Rochelle’.

No mercy.

Twellsy, have I ever told you to Bog Off? No? Now seems as good a time as any, then :wink:
Enough with the slander already! (prob tecnically ‘libel’ but this feels like a conversation. ‘Defamation’ covers it)

The divil a bit of it. Little heart to speak of, large visceral mass, small(ish) foot. Abrasive exterior, repulsive interior, you might say,

I am no biologist but I know limpets are soft with a means of pumping fluid about their visceral mass!

But Sturmers, that would be a bit indiscriminate; think of the collateral damage. It would certainly get Philip and Kirsty, which might mean Gavin as well. Then, of course, Beechwood was built on what was once Bridge Farm land, so that’s Pat, Tony, Tom, Helen, Hank and Jack gone too.

Brookfield’s just a bit to the west, so that’s Jill, David, Ruth, Pip, Josh, Ben - oh and Rosie and Toby…






Have you not got anything a bit bigger?

…got as far as ThatSmellWoman complaining about her bowel movements and couldn’t stand it no more! Thank Gawd fer the ORF SWITCH

…so did I miss ort???

Back again:
…not sure about “the listener traveling the telephone wires” effect¹. TA production team has done rather a lot of phone calls like that recently. Please STOP IT!
OMG! More Smell claptrap!!!

KER-BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

¹ phone call where A calls B and we hear conversation as A, with B at other end, then through the magic of radio, we are transferred to B’s end of the call, and we hear B normally and A as at the other end.

Think of another word for “bowel movements”.

Which is just deliberately confusing. A bit like an 'out-of-body-experience.

I mean ;
Who pays for that call ?
Is it a local call ?
Who’s “Bernadette” ?
Who should hang up first ?
What about the party-line ?
What on Earth do you call that dress ?
When did you last tidy this room ?
Put a Shilling in the box please.
Look at the state of the wire, all twisted and knotted.
Leave that pen where it was !

… and, in the second house, as the call finishes there’s always someone lurking ominously behind the person who’d been speaking.

:flushed: Sorry. I’m having odd dreams.

Tuedsday’s Sludge:

Following StShugg’s request: How’s about us all getting together and doing something gross for Easter?

…O Christ! JustDim & Gav doing the “TATelephoneTransfer” (…see recent thread hereabouts) (…'n fer Christ’s sake give the JustDim character a froat-lozenge!)

(…here’s an idea!): How about two characters having a phone conversation where each voice sounds as it would be heard by the other party, in other words the TATelephoneTransfer occurs on every “over”?

…well, not a particularly memorable episode, particularly when you think that it might have been double-directed, and double-written. I didn’t even notice the wonderful life-like stereo sounds of troffing and coos and piggies and sheepses!
