After Greg's suicide, the succession of bleak dates, the Rob horror show, and childlike Lee, I think Helen is ready for a relationship of equals in which she doesn't crush her own sense of individuality for the sake of love.

My mother hated her given name Margretta, and changed it as soon as she could to Margôt.

Alas a few decades later came The Good Life... 😬

'We've all met a Margo': Penelope Keith's comic triumph on The Good Life
She’s a snob, a bully, a social climber and no doubt would be delighted by the emergence of Ukip. So why do we love Margo Leadbetter?

I think a man who can shake off the strictures of city life, embracing nature and risking his life as a firefighter isn't going to have hardline views on shop-bought custard.

@literatelady.bsky.social would be tickled by adversarial poetry being the new frontier in challenges to AI.

Poetry slams and battle rap are but modern manifestations of Eisteddfod, C18th drawing room oneupmanship, court poets, even The Canterbury Tales: versifying for patronage, power and prestige

TBH, even if there were proof positive that he's a paedophile, his cult will still claim he's the victim of a hoax.

See also his rape felony.

And see also Farage's teenage Nazism.

Germany is more far-sighted.

We don't even know how many sufferers there are in the UK. At least a million, but above that it's guesswork.

Just think what could be achieved if countries pooled their resources to do the necessary research.

She was talking about a star tattoo for each of them, given their names. But maybe she'd go for the tacky option!

I think it would be amazing to see these beautiful wild creatures return. 😻

I also think the Ambridge gamekeeper (who's unnamed since Will left?) would be fiercely opposed. As would eggman Josh. And Derek Fletcher, just because he's Derek Fletcher.

Tony, desperate for a non-veggie meal, tries to surreptitiously do a roast without Kate finding out, by sneaking into the castle. But in his haste to avoid detection, he slips on cooking fat, with "hilarious" consequences.
