Yes, a big relief as I was thinking spinal injury at least.

No thanks. I don't fancy having strangers living in my house. We did go away one TT week to stay with family. It was the best TT I've ever experienced. I must do it again some time

Good plan!

Or we could do a house swap - you could have a fortnight in the beautiful South Downs National Park, with a splendid view, open countryside on your doorstep, lots of lovely pubs and places of interest, well away from the noise and mayhem of the TT, and we could come and enjoy the bike racing.

Oh god, I'm even worse. I was thinking ruptured aorta - that's only got a 10% survival rate.

Thank goodness we were both wrong!

Ooh, ooh- one of you could be Kate Winslett, the other Cameron Diaz.

Well *that* was...... disturbing.

I agree. I can only take Susan in small doses, and Neil must be in the running with Robert for patience sainthood.

When I first heard Susan, I really liked her. 5 minutes later I sussed her out.

Neil made me laugh when he said, 'Can't I just have a wash?'

I can't believe he lets Susan tell him what to eat. There isn't a person alive could stop me having as much bread as I want. Grow a pair Neil.

My finger was hovering over the mute button. I really thought Neil was going to start licking the avocado stuff off Susan's face Imagine the sound effects for that

They must have looked pretty strange - Shula couldn't get away fast enough.

I'm more Jo Brand than either of those two! I can't speak for Seejay, although I thought she (he?) was male.

The thought of Neil and Susan getting jiggy was ... just ewww.

Just for a moment I wished it was tv, so I could see Shula's face.

I soon came to my senses though.

The thing is that some time ago I noticed that 'chillie con carne' was some sort of trigger for Susan and Neil (today Neil was inferring they could get jiggy before rather than after). Remember when she was encourageing him to stand up to Tom about his position and said if he did she'd make 'chillie con carne' and Neil said (GULP!) You'd make chiliie con carne? etc.

I'm definitely female!

Lol, I must get Susan's recipe!

I make great chilli, but it's only effect on Mr Lakie seems to be flatulence.

The sound effects for normal eating have me reaching for the 'off' button, especially if I'm listening on catch-up with my headphones on - I have misophonia and can't bear having anyone near me while they're eating. I hate it when it's on the radio.

Uncle Ben's do a decent chilli sauce!

Other roles available- Jack Black or Jude Law. All potential pairings considered.

Lol I'm still recovering.

Me too!! Can't abide listening to eating. Don't mind it at home or when out eating as there is usually background noise or chatter.
However one of my friends is a slow eater and a chomper. You can clearly hear the food churning and grinding in his mouth - and I can't stand it

It doesn't make me feel ill, it makes me feel aggressive
That sounds totally stupid I know.

I don't think it's stupid. I feel the same. I can't sit and eat with my family because just normal eating noises - I'm not talking about eating like a pig - makes me agitated. I can't stand the sound of cutlery on teeth either. Have a look at the definition of misophonia.

I'm with you on the eating noises on the radio although I don't think it affects me to the same extent.
Another mouth sound that I can't stand and I can't think of any other place on the radio that you hear it apart from the Archers, is sucking in of breath (sucking teeth? )

David and Pip do it and it drives me NUTS!!!!!

PS: To allof you that have been happily oblivious of it and from now on have toe-curling sensations when the program switches to Brookfiled, Sorry!

I've just caught up with one I missed last week - Susan brought a men's magazine home for him. Neil was so horrified at the thought of the back, sac thing I wonder what he'd do if Susan insisted he have one. Would he let her frogmarch him to the salon, or does Neil draw a line somewhere when it comes to obeying Susan?
