1 WAR costs $6-8MM, on average. Happ has been worth 6.4 fWAR over the last two years, and has cost $42MM, or $6.56MM/WAR. He gives you 20-odd homers, 80-odd RBI and statistically speaking, the best D from a full-time LF in the NL. Year in, year out. Odd place to start picking a fight, tbh.

Thank you very much! Lucy's writing does the heavy lifting, though. 😘

@tonkerthomas.bsky.social Loved this week's sketch
"Oi! Barford! LEAVE IT!!"
Priceless! thank you for this #AmbridgeOnTheCouch #TheArchers

Fuck my old boots

I didn't! I didn't have anything at Margie's - although I may have sampled other people's bananas.

I'm being a typical TAXOLIB HOMOCRAT and watching an illegal stream

Hello old son, just checking in to make sure you're a) watching the Cubs game and b) getting well and truly fucked

Jesus wept

What, no TenaLady™?

As Chuck Dickens pointed out, PCA is also on course for a record-setting wFYC+.

I was thinking about this just the other day. Margie's appeared on "The Bear" and I was reminiscing fondly over just how right Real Life Chuck can be. On the other hand, PCA is now on pace for:

119 runs
38 2B
42 HR
133 RBI
49 SB

... and a hair shy of 10 fWAR

IRL Chuck >>>>> Internet Chuck

No, I didn't think so. You bloody well *ought* to be, though.

I expect you're feeling a bit silly about this, now, Chuck, right?

I hope you're thoroughly ashamed of yourself

Talk of this day will be passed down in hushed tones from generation to generation. Where were you when the Ominbus dropped early? #TheArchers

The Archers Omnibus - 13/04/2025 - BBC Sounds It’s the end of an era at the dairy, and Joy attempts to build bridges.

It what I can only liken to Macmillan calling Kennedy at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, Jeff aka @tonkerthomas.bsky.social from Ambridge on The Couch has just messaged me with the news that #TheArchers omnibus is ALREADY UP!!!

We're staying *just* outside Bayeux and I'm running in every morning to get bread and pastry. Just about evening out, I reckon.

Bayeux and Arromanches (Gold Beach). My grandfather, Sgt. Sid Thomas RE, landed here on D+2 to build the Mulberry Harbour.

Ta, Chuck. xxx

2 weeks of holiday and 3 weeks of shingles but I'm still going and today am 15kg (33lbs, 2½ stone) down, nearly half way there.

Thank you SO MUCH for your support, Guide Dogs for the Blind really needs it.

Yup, can see it on my computer

Are there no DMs on here?

Just removed the Twitter app from my phone. I was getting there anyway but the last couple of days have made it a no-brainer. Have set up a Whatsapp group for the Twitter group chat in case there's any tea to be spilled.

@chathund.bsky.social Ah, you who stole the code meant for somebody else. Nice.

Nah. He'd have kicked my arse if I hadn't run away shrieking first.

Took this today, quite pleased with it.

You can't leave us hanging like that, mate - we need to know what happened to Peter and Jane!

I was going to say that it's staggering that anybody is taking that shit seriously any more, but then, there are people still making money out of three card monte on the El.

Thanks for the photo, Frank. Sleeping is overrated.

DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS
