It’s the biggest leap forward since they launched the colour version of that ‘pong tennis’ game! Computer dude explains what his quantum gizmo does! #r4today

“We are a grandmother” - previous announcement of similar news #TheArchers

Nope but the neighbours do

Do not adulterate shortbread or I’ll send for the biscuit police #TheArchers

Yes - often looks right in the window

You don’t need a tv licence for Netflix unless you watch live! Don’t let them con you #TheArchers

As if that profiteering fuel company twonk cares about forecourt staff! #TheArchers

And on the patio itself #TheArchers

It’ll flop - most talk shows do. Tv companies often give hosts of ‘hit shows’ a talk show when they leave - eases the transition to the Out door. Channel 4 did it with Gabby Roslin after The Big Breakfast. Lasted one series of 6 then it was binned off

‘200% windfall tax on the energy companies.’ “But that’s profiteering” ‘Precisely - now you know what it feels like!’ Easily resolved all of this. #r4today

Why is this Farrington geezer defending the profiteers? Obviously thinks he’s doing well out of Capitalism because he gets thrown a few scraps from the table (as all business reporters do) #r4today

Live from Cheltenham Festival? Apparently the favourites today are Covid Superspreader and Dido Harding - Where Did That Fifty Billion For The App Go. Both trained by Spaffer Johnson. #r4today

The scriptwriters have a funny idea about kids attitude to school - their version: “Martha can’t wait to go back to school after the holidays” Reality: ‘Children, the school burnt down last night it could be weeks before you can go back’ - the children “The school burnt down - Yay!!”

All of this going on out there now - far too windy! #TheArchers #bbcpm

Stop giving that Mandelson disclaimer - he would say that stop repeating it! Hardly gonna say “it’s a fair cop guv, I done the blag” is he! #r4today

I live near the sea and often spot mermaids says Thought for the Day lady (or something like that - couldn’t really be bothered listening) #r4today

Don’t Oxford students have exam schools for two weeks at the end of their studies and their entire degree is based on those results? What use is AI there? Sure - it can help write their essays during their course but none of those count towards degrees. #r4today

Nick Timothy? Shadow Cabinet? How can anyone take the Tories seriously? #r4today

Why does the BBC keep saying ‘Lord Mandelson does not believe he has done anything wrong’? Ditto Prince Andrew! They don’t say ‘Joey Barton does not believe he has done anything wrong’ Is the disclaimer reserved for people of a certain class? #r4today ps: I don’t like Joey Barton - just an example

Some domestic heating oil suppliers have more than doubled their prices already - for oil that’s already in the country. Word for that = profiteering! #r4today

AI will hit all those ghost writers who churn out the James Patterson bilge hardest (unless anyone actually believes he writes 500 plus books a year that is) #r4today

PS: internet image - not my finger, that fingernail looks unclean (things like that caused the plague - that and rats)

Spells, Charms and Incantations. ‘You may fascinate a woman by giving her a piece of cheese.’ #r4today #TheArchers

Say Blue Lights Again - I Dare You, I Double Dare You! Reaching for the Off Switch #TheArchers

Kate usually tries to keep at least a couple of continents between her and her children - not a very hands on mother #TheArchers

They have cake forks because they’re middle class just like Rob Titchener was introduced holding his melon baller to signify his status (it’s a kitchen implement - nothing rude) #TheArchers

Stop plugging tv shows on #TheArchers

Kirsty desperately seeking a storyline - she’s nothing but an adjunct to other people’s these days #TheArchers
