Not helpful to George and the Chaplain right now, but if George thinks everyone in Ambridge dislikes him, he should take a look at the posts on here.😲 #TheArchers

She’s the local GP. In my book that means she is serving her community full time.

I did wonder why Vince hasn’t resolved this.

I’m just waiting for Joy’s ever developing backstory to reveal that she is the favourite daughter/sister of the kingpin of organised crime in the north east and for her father/brother to send his henchmen down to rescue the Bull.

Also a way of disposing of bodies. Pop two in a coffin, send to the crematorium, no one is the wiser.

I can’t help thinking that Brad is onto something with Amber’s change of appearance.

Is it conceivable that Amber is trans?

It’s looking as though losing to Flamengo was a stroke of strategic genius

“Press upgrade to watch like you’re in the stadium”.

I suspect that he is so deeply undercover that he has started a relationship with one of the targets and got her pregnant. His dilemma will be whether to come clean and abandon his child or ditch Fallon and remain a father

I called my GP’s surgery this morning and was given an appointment for a shingles vaccination an hour later and an in person appointment with a requested GP for tomorrow.

The #NHS is wonderful.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the Peggy Woolley memorial tour is going to form the next season of White Lotus.

There appears to be a mental health crisis in Ambridge. Perhaps the village shop should forget about ice creams for dogs and start stocking happy pills. Maybe Freddie could help.

The Peggy Archer Memorial Holiday gives wonderful scope for a massive disaster to wipe out a whole slew of odious characters. Sadly Natasha and Helen would probably walk out of the coach crash unscathed.

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

It would certainly make the question “Is the Pope a Catholic?” less rhetorical

Devon cyclist does final ride for charity before leg amputation - BBC News Tom Staniford said the ride will raise money for four charities.

Made it onto the @bbcnews-uk-rss.bsky.social website but bizarrely they haven’t said what time the #GoodbyeLegsRide is or where to donate (edge.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...)

Help raise £10000 to say goodbye to my legs and support 4 important charities – JustGiving Crowdfunding Iʼm raising money to say goodbye to my legs and support 4 important charities. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.

Why keep donating to www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding... now we’ve reached our £10k target?
Well, why not?
It’s an arbitrary count. What counts is the positive impact we can make- and surely the bigger the better, if at all possible? Thank you for the donations and shares. We’re doing some good.

Nigel Farage says first thing he would do as PM if he won a GE would be to remove UK from the ECHR
YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic Nigel Farage says first thing he would do as PM if he won a GE would be to remove UK from the ECHR

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

THIS IS WHY

So once again, the Bridge Farm Archers emerge from the excrement smelling of roses and none of their victims appears to understand quite how evil they are.

The Clarion Movement wasn’t just about cycling or rambling—it was about freedom, equality, and community! What started as a group of passionate cyclists & ramblers in the late 19th century grew into a powerful force for social change

The Clarion Cycling Club, named after the popular socialist ‘Clarion’ newspaper, was established in Birmingham #OnThisDay 1894.

Members used their cycling trips to circulate socialist literature and support socialist election candidates.
