What is amber’s insta handle? #thearchers

Is it iron maiden?

caroline, woah

Incredible stuff - everything I want from an album. Didn’t think it was possible to top their staggering debut.

‘When I get home’ is heart breaking and I don’t know why

This is really bad

COYS

Well done Palace. Very pleased for them

Insiders suggest that Her Majesty’s impression of Nicko is/was second to none

Also a nod to Aces High (fighter plane) and Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner (albatross)

I love early DLR

Feel sorry for Ange, he’s been excellent this season #comeonyoutottenham

Why are boxing matches on so late? I’d be really tired by 10.30pm #theboxing

Forest’s keeper is starting to give strong Ian Walker energy—if Walker had lost his reflexes in a pub quiz and replaced them with pure theatrical shrugging.

James Maddison increasingly resembles a modern-day Garth Crooks—less a footballer, more a theatrical concept performed weekly on grass #COYS

Credit where it’s due: Forest have mastered survival against the odds. But one suspects even they aren’t entirely sure how—or why the hell—it’s worked.

In the end, as Plato almost certainly didn’t say, a squad is just a teapot in search of its lid #COYS

Darling, if Ange’s methods seem complex, perhaps football at this level isn’t quite your arena. Best stick to murmuring about passion, yes? #COYS #Ange4eva

King of Twilight is great

I mate of mine saw Murray in Hamleys toy store a few years back, he said Dave was definitely “in a mood”

Godzilla would destroy Murray

Name 2 better bands than Caroline and Van Halen?

Is Rochelle psychopathic? #thearchers

Piece of Mum

Pop groups I’m currently obsessed with

Led Zeppelin (London/Brum quartet of the rock persuasion from the 70s)

Destroyer (Canadian indie with soft rock/synth leanings)

Electric Wizard (Dorset witchy doom craft)

The Hard Quartet (US plus one Aussie supergroup with exceptional songwriting chops)

Tribal Convictions by the Voivod lads, is possibly the greatest ‘metal’ track of all time

Just rediscovering Steve Miller’s The Joker. Music was so much better in 90s

I’m just glad I got see Sabbath supporting the Beatles in 1969 #sabbathtickets

Shit everywhere, up the walls, the lot #TheArchers
