#Gothtober

You love your country by enacting policies that lift people out of poverty, that protect women from violent men in their own homes, that ensure schoolchildren have healthy meals, that redistribute wealth from top to bottom and strengthen social solidarity and cohesion. Blind nationalism does f all.

Being cold is miserable - hope you can warm up soon

Hot water bottle snap - I've got one of those too :-)

Another piece of Hookland dialect I am very fond of it 'wight-wrey' – a swerve in the path or road ahead which one instinctively knows the turning of will lead to the revelation of a ghost or other unholy terror. – #CLNolan, BBC National Programme talk, 1934 #WOTD #Hookland

Not sure I have the words to express how much I loathe Pip + that is the quietest dog I have ever(not)heard + not that I want to hear Rosie but her absolute silence is kind of preternatural...plus didn't Pip get a cat fairly recently but no word of how they plan to introduce them to Cleo #TheArchers

She's out. She's here. It's official.

My biography of Marie Antoinette is available from all the usual places that you can buy books, but if you'd like a signed copy then you can still order directly from me! ⚜️

it could have done - but only when the museum is open ;-)

image is stuffed seal with one eye bigger than the other in a wooden and glass cabinet

I'm especially fond of the seal at Whitby Museum which looks as if it had fallen prey to myxomatosis+had one eye bigger than the other - I'm not sure if it's still there as the attendant said that each time it was cleaned it came perilously close to disintegrating altogether...

Join #thefilmcrowd this Wednesday from 8pm for timeywimey 80s childrens tv curio MOONDIAL, a very atmospheric spooky old number that seems to have divided the regulars into those who enjoyed its eerie atmosphere and those who wanted it to just jog on a bit! This time with added Servalan!

Events Stay up to date with the upcoming events organised or hosted by the Institute of Historical Research

History curious? You don't need to be in London (or the UK) to attend many Institute of Historical Research seminars, although if you're in Bloomsbury you'll enjoy doing so. Most are hybrid (online/in person). They're free, usually fortnightly and open to the public.

Starting this week:

So excited for this!!! :-)

I could see him waiting to pounce with a water pistol*

* a modified one obvs that did not need opposable thumbs to fil it or make it fire...

who would win in a fight - one of your most vicious characters or your ginger fellow?

That's dedication. I've had periods where I stopped listening b/c I found it too painful (Rob's coercive behaviour) but kept up with the online synopsis but I think I'm close to no longer bothering with it at all #TheArchers

to be fair - that could be a reflection on the current delays in the justice system tho sadly I think it's far more likely it's just dropped off the writers radar for the time being #TheArchers

I'm not surprised,am almost there myself. I got into it around the time Brian was having an affair with Caroline. I often complain at the end of an episode that it's been rubbish but that was often part of the fun of listening but now it is actively painful+ridiculous #TheArchers

IKR - utterly delectable :-)

A Halloween turnip featuring a carved face, glowing from a candle within, creating a festive atmosphere.

Halloween is fast approaching and it’s about time GNoH did a big feature series so if 13 of you would like to write an article on the one film youd watch on Halloween.

And send it to jimmcleod@gnofhorror.com

Along with a head shot a bio and any links to items you’d like to promote.

I think given the recent quality of writing, hanging storylines, character transplants they're working on turning off all listeners - I often complain that it's an insult to listeners intelligence but it really is atm #TheArchers

can't she just not pass go and end up at the bottom of the slurry pit instead? or a grain silo whichever is easiest/quickest #TheArchers

That made me proper lol - thank you :-)
I wonder if that's why they had children so any accidents could be blamed on them? #TheArchers

it's because education makes you want to go beyond the bypass and hollerton junction and also develop critical thinking skills - neither of which are welcome in the bizarre microclimate of Ambridge... #TheArchers

didn't he have his fortieth birthday a while back? got a vague memory of Natasha making a big fuss about it #TheArchers
