I just hope they don't go all silly TGG. They could do things with the characters agreed, but if they let josh and pip whine away as normal and ed and emma to just be themselves and drip on each other it's going to be an awful listen.

Hey, as far as I know Dominic Cummings has never owned a donkey sanctuary, give the man a break.

I know, mate. It's just that the Dave Sparts of this world are so INCREDIBLY easy to wind up - as are the Westboro Baptist Church types, but there are more DSs on here. And I agree with you about the number of tories who are just ITCHING for him to fall, so that they can pwopa put the boot in. Just as there were for The Prince Of Darkness.

I know. About bloody time and all. It's going to be two or three handers for the next few weeks. Quite looking forward to it. It provides a great opportunity to flesh-out characters. Hopefully they'll use the opportunity to give some more depth to some of the middle-ranking characters as well.

Anyway TGG, important stuff. New Archers episodes from tomorrow.

TGG, you really think the daily heil don't do it? The currant bun, sexpress and heil have been using the same tactic for decades. What is worse is the fact they even have to. He and his family shouldn't have travelled, once he did and jhohnson was told they should have fessed up, said he made a mistake and won't do it again and it would be done by now. It's the fact that cuntings is a two faced liar who has shat all over people for years in pursuit of his own ends and who doesn't have the ability to admit fault that has caused this. He's made a lot of enemies and there are going to be a lot of people, both tories and non-tories, who will crack a private beer if and when he finally goes.

"They're drip feeding it and saving what may the worst for later." If the Daily Fascist did that, you'd be screaming "FOUL!". For the record, his "family" thing was border-line legit (by "the rules") but about so far from Kosher that he could barely see it (in his rear-view mirror (with binoculars)). If this Barnard Castle thing turns out to be true, then he should be thrown to the wolves - preferably by the Labour MP who didn't go to see her dad before he died, even though she could have (by "the ...etc...").

First Aspall in two months :-)

Apparently his reported visit to Barnard Castle, whilst he was supposed to be isolating with his wife, remarkably coincided with her birthday. Wasn't that a fortunate coincidence for the pair of them.

RS - with Kuenssberg as guest of honour no doubt 🤪

A guardian connected journo on the stockport whatsapp group says that he understands there is more to come.

Really? I don't remember that being a problem.

Hope those golfers are better at hitting those small balls @ Godalming now. THey kept missing about 15 years ago and got gr8 cheers when they eventually connected.

TGG, with respect I think the most important question is how long it will take to get served!

[rapidly retracts head back below the parapet and runs off to the blessed sanctuary of Pornhub]

An insufficiency of tramp-juice (soon to be remedied) in no way diminishes my irritating natural leaning towards grammatical pedantry, which allows me to query both the dearth of commas in, and the somewhat confusing ending to, said sentence.

I think if you're seen as the anti christ by half the population, it would be wise to not provide any opportunities for your enemies to get back at you

My assumption is that the financing we're looking at right now is in the nature of a bridging loan which will in theory sort us out up to the time when NPL is operational (Jan 2021?), at which point we will have a better handle on income streams and will apply for a mortgage type facility which a fixed term

Interesting and informative piece on the Lurgy detailing just why it is so difficult for our front-line people to deal with [Link]

The most important question about NPL still has not been answered: what cider will they have on in the bars? It had better be good because in the decade-plus that I have been at KM, we only had a two-year period of Strongbow during a who's-whom of the worst draught ciders known to humankind - and for six months of that, they couldn't get the gas right in the Prez's so one had to go and queueueueue with the peasantry to drink out of plastic. Aspall or any of the main Thatchers ones, please.

With regards to discussions on the loan I have heard, as alluded to by ST2A that we have one agreed 'in principle' but we can't get it signed off until we can accurately forecast income streams. I have also heard that the interest rates on the loan offered are not very palatable so we are trying to reduce the £6m by finding alternative funds...…..as well as still selling the PLB of course

MAD @11.49, I don't believe that is true. As I understand it Buckingham went out to tender on the 3 semi-permanent stand structures a while ago and more recently for the 9000+ seats. As has been mentioned hre before apparently the stands are pre-fabricated and once on site it will only take 6 weeks to install them

TM @09.35, it's almost impossible to imagine anyone getting fed up with this place!!! ;-) On that note is Godalming Don reading this or does anyone know who he/she is? There is a reason for me asking! c.shergold212@btinternet.com

A4E @08.39 its ironic that you say you have seen me a few times 'at the station' over the years because as referred to in a previous post before lockdown I spent far too many nights in there! :-(

Good morning TGG.
