It happens all the time. You're travelling somewhere and suddenly you just happen to be near Ambridge with a hotel bedroom handy in case nooky beckons. I'm sure it's happened to most of us. It hasn't happened to me yet, but I've clearly always just drawn the short straw. #TheArchers

Can't help thinking that just bombing the shit out of Iran and saying to the population "It's up to you now" may not produce the stable result that Trump seems to think it will.

Too bad President Trump didn't get that memo.

She won't move to Scotland. Where would Ambridge be without My Little Dairy and Mankwold? Or is Henry going to be forcibly trained to make Bridge Farm's wonder product while Helen pursues true love in a croft? #TheArchers

It's like a child talking. Look, Mummy and Daddy, I'm being a President and they'll be very scared of me.

I think everyone who doesn't remember it from the 80s and early 90s has just discovered it. The thought of it still makes me shudder after watching my mum eating it with pineapple on rice cakes. Think that may have been the Heart Patient Diet (she was not a heart patient)

If China are serious about capturing Taiwan then they will never get a better geo-political window than now.

Funny how we couldn't spare any for the Ukrainians who are fighting for their lives.

Trump in 2020: β€œWe’ve spent $8 trillion in the Middle East, and we’re not fixing our roads in this country? How stupid. How stupid is it?

β€œAnd we’re not fixing our tunnels, our bridges, our hospitals, our schools? It’s crazy.”

Senator Tim Kaine to CNN: β€œI'm on two committees that give me access to a lot of classified information.

β€œThere was no imminent threat from Iran to the United States that warrants sending our sons and daughters into yet another war in the Middle East.”

U.S. Races to Accomplish Iran Mission Before Munitions Run Out President Trump says the Iran campaign might last a week or longer, but dwindling stockpiles could limit his options.

Trump is draining the US’ weapons stock. Hope there are no more enemies anywhere.

American bloke on #R4 talking about how US requires free elections in Iran.

Since you asked 😊. August 1998. I appreciate the joke will be partially lost on anyone who wasn't reading @privateeyenews.bsky.social in the 1990s. #TheArchers

I see there is a letter about false beards from legendary Ambridge Socialist & beard campaigner @keithbeard.bsky.social on the same page πŸ™‚

The Iranians don't want a Shah, full or part-time. They've already got rid of a Shah, twice. Could that be saying something?
