OK - maybe the peri explanation is out the window! #TheArchers #StrangeUnsafeSex

Kirstie in #TheArchers probably starting with the confusing peri-menopause. I remember being about her age and having a similar scary moment... Your lovely, reliable cycle starts playing crazy tricks on you!

Reading #GermaineGreer 's #TheFemaleEunuch at the moment. Even as a lifelong feminist, this is opening my eyes to some attitudes I'd not realised before (eg: Anaïs Nin - a patriarchal tool? Mind you - I always thought she might be a bloke writing under a female pseudonym!)

So well put! He sounded like a stupid teenager, yesterday.

He's never been quite this volatile before, though. I hope his offspring/step-offspring *do* gang up against him. No-one likes a Machiavelli....

Yes - it's definitely weird he's doing this without thinking it through first. Or is it just down to the 12 year-old scriptwriters who have no understanding of character consistency?!

Why does sport feature on any news bulletins?! Sport is an interest, not a news item!

If you're British and ever listened to #LizaTarbuck on #Radio2 - "Ceci n'est pas mon chat!"

Even a totally lost-touch-with-reality Brian wouldn't go there..!! (If he *is* having those issues) #DementiaStoryline #TheArchers

Sounds like my relationship with my mother... 🙄

None whatsoever, as far as I can tell! I think her character was shoe-horned into the story because the amazing Eleanor Bron fancied a part in #TheArchers ! If anyone knows of any back-history for the Toboggans, I'd also be interested to know. ☺️

Have we heard Bert in #TheArchers, before? I always thought he was a silent..

I really don't like this re-casting of Carol Tregorran in #TheArchers - her sniping attitude towards everyone (and everything) is exactly the opposite of the witchy Earth-Mother type Carol used to be....

And "Live in Japan"!

Was waiting for someone to come up with an Adam Faith reference - I'm too lazy to go there!

Hear you!

Why are people in #TheArchers (other soaps are available...) always "trying to protect" others - instead of just sharing information and seeking support?! (Yes, Pip - I'm talking about you...)

This comedy budgie business is getting a bit tedious #TheArchers

Lynda should be for hire - for shooing off unwanted attention. She did a sterling job with Brian, at the bar... #TheArchers

Or Johnny in....wherever he is.

Peak Pip dialogue, there on #TheArchers - "What? Now? No. Why?"!

Artemis II sent a pic of the beautiful garden planet we are too greedy, lazy, short-sighted, and ungrateful not to destroy:

Brian is an awful manipulative bar-steward. Jenny-dahling was always gas-lighted by his tactics. I think he's met his match in Miranda - at least, I hope so! #TheArchers

Bye #TheArchers Bleetalong! I'm off to try and adjust to BST - and maybe buy some Anguses, along the way.... Have a good Sunday, y'all 😊

It's a bit like when Dawn was shoe-horned into the Buffy #BtVS story as her younger sister. Everybody's memories got mystically tinkered with, so no questions were asked!

As in Japanese Knotweed?! 😁

This Anguses at Bridge Farm storyline on #TheArchers is really getting annoying. Why doesn't Moany keep a few (presuming his current herd is more than a few) as a hobby, and cut the farm's losses by selling the rest? #TonyAntoinette

Make it into trifle!

Amber: "I've never been in a court, before."
Emma: "Get used to it - you're marrying into the Grundys". #TheArchers

Nice one, George: "I've made mistakes, Brian. But I'm young - what's your excuse?"! #TheArchers
