Good old Kirsty

Sleazy Adam stuck in the pub and hahaha Joe and Bert discussing a gay relationship without batting an eyelid!

Oh the Archers .... no 'readjustment' needed after the high drama for me, I've nestled right back into the Archers I love
Oh, so have I , just wondering whether to enter my Black Russian tomatoes in the flower and produce show.. I seem to remember that Usha once took 1st prize for her Rudbeckia, they are really hard to grow from seed here, wish I could but all my plants are bought in stock. 'Tis good to get back to normal. Just off to listen to some old Home Front episodes.

I reckon a Venus Rob Trap would win an award.

I do hope Helen does do something about the way Rob controlled her. He should be jailed and the key thrown away.

"You sound just like your father(mother)" has always brought any argument in our family to a begrudged end with it's undeniable irony. You can't stay on your high horse for long once you're reminded you put someone else through exactly the same frustrations yourself 20 odd years ago.

Ha!! Jill's been making metric tonnes of jam and chutney.

She has a form of cookery tourettes.
She can't control it.

Will Justin change his mind about Rob or, will it be a whole new story? ADam not wanting to work with him, Brian not liking it. It would be the icing on the cake if Justin has a change of heart.

Do you know I never gave that a thought, just was annoyed with Joe's entitlement What you say is far more like it, looking forward to the consequences

I think Lillian may be able to persuade him of the error of his ways. She'll surely explain that employing the most hated man in Borsetshire won't endear him to the locals, especially as half of them are related to his victim.

I was a bit disappointed that we didn't hear how cricket practice went. I wouldn't put it past Rob to turn up and expect to be welcomed with open arms.

Of course he would expect that.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder -

Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
Exaggerating your achievements and talents
Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people
Requiring constant admiration
Having a sense of entitlement
Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations
Taking advantage of others to get what you want
Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
Being envious of others and believing others envy you
Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner

Tick, tick and tick.

The song they were singing along to has quite appropriate lyrics:

Some boys take a beautiful girl / And hide her away from the rest of the world / I want to be the one to walk in the sun / Girls they want to have fun.

Cyndi Lauper: Girls just want to have fun

https://youtu.be/PIb6AZdTr-A

Also Helen and Kirsty are the right for them to remember that as a song from their childhood, so all in all it was quite touching.

Is Arsula about to become Rob's next coercive victim? The sound of her treading on eggshells is almost deafening...

Does he really think he will get Henry back? What will happen over Jacks name? He can't be called by two different names.

The bit about bumping into Henry round the village was a bit sinister, I thought. If he's not allowed to have contact, surely he shouldn't talk to him and stuff? Perhaps he's going to start stalking him.

People will think he's bonkers if he's overheard calling the baby Gideon, when they know his name is Jack. Helen's "It's just a nickname" explanation is a good one, imo.

I thought the Judge recommended that Rob should have a psychological assessment! Maybe that was a suggestion rather than mandatory, I can't remember

Rob wasn't given access to Henry but the Judge stopped short of placing a restriction order on him, so I guess he could just 'bump into Henry' around the village - but I agree it does sound a bit like stalking. Reminds me of the visit he made to Jess.

Goodness, what an utter nutjob he is. Did you hear how he subverted the notice to quit as somehow being something he'd already decided to do, and stupid Ursula just agreeing with him like a nodding idiot.

Yeah, you were going to quit the place weren't you Rob. Yeah whatever - tosser.

He's not getting the message is he.
Time to push it up a notch. Man the ducking stool; heat the branding irons.

I think that the psychological assessment is needed for Rob to have unsupervised access to Jack. As Henry isn't his son, the judge ruled that as Henry had already suffered emotional and psychological harm from Rob, and was at risk of physical harm, it would not be to Henry's benefit to spend any time with Rob.
