Just arrived this morning. It's a banger! And we're not talking Tom Archer's sausages.

Raw sewage is coming in waves.

Is it Panto Week again? #TheArchers

The sound of thousands of @thecidershedpod.bsky.social listeners screaming, "Badger!" at their radios. #TheArchers

Thinking back, the monologues weren't so bad, were they? #TheArchers

In real life, I do hope Joy always leaves everyone else hanging, alludes to stuff, but never gets around to actually saying what the problem is. #Justsayin #TheArchers

And, obviously, the panto is going to be in the village hall. And Vince's Philippino butchers will end up in the cricket team.

Ah, the old "but you don't have kids" put down on #TheArchers

Was it Helen to Kirsty last time?

It's a Friday, so Khalil must sound like he's drunk five cans of Red Bull for breakfast. ##TheArchers

If true, it would be sad on a personal level but best for the club. We've been terrible for a long time.
📰 RUMOUR | According to multiple sources, including talkSPORT's Alex Crook, Rob Edwards is set to leave @lutontown.co.uk by mutual consent.

Waiting to see how pissed off Helen is with Lee's move, because that's her standard mode. ##TheArchers

The undeserved win against Derby is covering a lot of cracks. We're slow in attack and fragile at the back. Poor. #COYH

Have to say, the drinks break interview has broken open this innings! Well played, Isa! #AUSIND

This article is bizarre. The actions of the coach are credited to the billionaire owner, who is then lionised for making lower paid staff redundant. Poor.

Room full of satire writers will struggle to find a funnier line that the BBC Newsreader just now saying “The Chinese approached Prince Andrew in the hope of finding intelligence’”

End of Scam Week in #TheArchers

My prediction, the various scammed visitors stay on through December and save the Christmas show!

Excellent news. The stink has been stopped.
