He's a plot device character though, pretty one-dimensional.

#thearchers all too often the writers get a character to do something so out of character just to move a plot point forward that many of us have to resort to tutting online about it.

Rex would never have turned up drunk on Alice's doorstep.

Americans, with much love to the majority of you who didn't vote in this regime, you do realise that the rest of the world is severely disappointed in you, don't you? We can never unsee this stuff, never understand how you let this happen.

Get that cunt off the planet now. He is one person, ONE FUCKING PERSON, in 8.1 billion of us.

There's got to be somebody willing to do it.

Could not agree more. Make it stop!

Bleak times. How can one deranged lunatic thousands of miles away have this kind of impact on the entire world. GO AWAY.

Red suitcase on overhead luggage rack on train

Empty floor level luggage rack on train.

A tale in two photos. I'm on a #crosscountrytrains service. Picture 1 is my suitcase up above my head where the burly train manager insisted I (he) put it. Picture 2 is the empty luggage rack where I could reach it. I can't get it down myself. Ableist bully. Oh and no refreshments either.

He lives near me, so it is not odd to see him, but I am always so star struck when I see Carlos Acosta out in the wild, as I did this morning again. What a phenomenal artist.

Plot suggestion: Tracy wins the lottery and ends up with more money than the Archers and Aldriges combined.

100%. I love Canada but I am anxious about maybe needing to go (separately) to Vancouver BC and Toronto later this year, because they are both just an hour or so from the US border.

Justin is going to give Chelsea some "business mentoring"....

It's the equivalent of going onto Dragons Den and coming away with Touker Suleyman

#TheArchers

This, but in capitals, in bold, and in red. How short are people's memories?

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

If he were just fucking up the USA it would be bad enough but it's all of us who are affected.

A handful of Republican lawmakers could turn the tide of history if they chose to do so.

Are they just waiting for him to die like we all are? Because thats not going to save them.

It's pissing down now I hope she is getting soaked.

Anyone in the vicinity of #Frome station keep your eyes open for a small framed middle aged woman with long dyed dark hair in a white parka. I politely stood to one side to let her pass on a narrow pavement, with a smile, and got a torrent of foul verbal abuse for my trouble. Very unsettling.

They bloody let her through to the next round as well.

She's the focus of my rage for not deveining her prawns.

Catching up with Masterchef and

OH MY GOD HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF A PROFESSIONAL CHEF IF YOU SERVE PRAWNS WITH ALL THEIR INTESTINES AND SHIT INTACT?

Not deveining prawns should be a sackable offence.

#thearchers I don't like Stella's brother. Bad vibes.

I have one day when four people, mostly relatives, have their birthdays. The way I've handled the overload is to stop talking to three of them. Worked a treat. Recommended.

As a woman and mother I'm more inclined (also because of personal experience) to empathise with her, but I'm glad Jo Maugham is able to do so as well. It's more than a "messy love life" when a child is involved, plus they were together two plus years, enough to get to know a person. You'd think.

In this instance he induced (no pun intended) this woman into being an incubator for a child he knew she would not have wanted to create with him, had she known the full picture. He's forced his DNA into a situation that binds her to him for life. The rights of the child are important too.

I don't know if once again I am swimming against the tide of public opinion, but whilst I was GLUED to the Traitors while the game was on, I could not give a flying fuck about the "cast" once it's over, they get their 15 minutes, but we're done now. It's a TV show, it's not world peace.

"Our new Removals Force, modelled on US ICE."

That's Kemi Badenoch, speaking three months ago.

As far as I can see, this remains Conservative Party policy.

Appalling.

Seen on fb - sorry, no creator credited but it made me smile.

What new fuckery have I missed? It's been a bit of a roller coaster 24 hours so have not been online. I hardly dare look.

I just asked #ChatGPT a factual financial question and it replied in USD. I said - again - use GBP, I am in the UK, not the failed state dictatorship that is the USA.

Well. The response.

"I'm going to set a boundary here and I won't engage with political insults"

What the actual fuck?

Is he dead yet?
