Important to be clear here that the proposed homes wouldn't mean demolishing the 18th century garden - it's just that they might possibly be visible from it. What appallingly selfish behaviour.

Still possibly one of the greatest Armistice Day tweets of all time from the good old days on Twitter.

George is really feeling like he’s not good enough. And he’s right, he’s not. Great call from George there.

8 hours 55 minutes! How far north are they going? You could get to Inverness in less than that time.

So the BBC is biased against Donald Trump? Ok? Fine? It’s also biased against Vladimir Putin or Erdogan or Orban or or or, your point being?

Just close the bloody shop. You’ve got something much better at the charging station.

That “none of them spoke of it” trope feels a particularly modern conceit. My Grandad was always happy to talk about it.

Ruth is suspicious!

David must have put on his good pants to visit Esme.

Can’t wait for the topical insert on #TheArchers where it’s mentioned as another potential job for Mick.

The only reason I ever want to see Kelvin MacKenzie on the BBC is when there's a report about the tragic incident involving him and four different woodchippers
Why has BBC News Channel put former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie to react to the BBC Director General / BBC News boss resign?

i feel bad for the BBC, who now have to wonder whether they can ever do better as DG than a two-time failed Tory parliamentary candidate whose only expertise was in marketing

True. I blame the 80s/90s NME.

Still waiting on the things I might like
‘A new service called Objector is offering “policy-backed objections in minutes” to people who are upset about planning applications near their homes.’

Another reminder that AI can be used for things you don’t like as well as things you like…

So many stories, verified, like this coming out of US about ICE detention right now. Let's just be totally clear, it is not hyperbole to call ICE "Trump's Gestapo", or their detention sites concentration camps. They meet all of the criteria. Anywhere else this would be receiving global condemnation.
A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

Adding: "Journalists walking around the West End critiquing pedestrians" to this list.

How many ways can a pedestrian be annoying? At least 19
Slow walkers and speed-weavers are being shamed on the streets — am I part of the problem?

Bloody hell. There are so many other characters and storylines I’d rather be hearing from and about (that we haven’t heard from or about for ages) rather than grieving Esme, for whom I do not care.

Well, none of #TheArchers listeners knew who he was, love.

I quite like the way Alice reacted to the news of Carly being a gym instructor. Managed to convey the mixed feeling of “she’s less posh than me but probably fitter” in one syllable.
