Taking a temporary social media break after today (Sun 19 Apr). Will be back for football pre-season. Will miss #TheArchers Bleetalong. #BCFC #KRO

And just as #TheArchers is about to start my Bluesky feed freezes.

I just know that so many listeners to #TheArchers will be thrilled to know that the cricket county championship is now underway with updates available on the BBC website. Try to contain your enthusiasm. (Can’t see any mention of The Bull’s team.) 🏏 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/c...

Sometimes there is a tipping point, or final straw, when it comes to managerial changes in football. Although a formal decision might be a few weeks away, I wonder if today was that tipping point at Blues. #BCFC #KRO

Looking forward to the clocks moving forward an hour on Sunday here in the UK. One hour's less insomnia! 🛏️🥱

Should Blues keep Chris Davies? Close call for me, but I think not even tho I like him. IMO we should be better with the players we have. The creative part of midfield and no 10 position not working. Players such as Cashin & Koumas doing better elsewhere. Sadly I think we need to move on. #BCFC #KRO

Is Olivia’s daughter going to be introduced as a character? #TheArchers

Went to see a v good stage production of The Spy Who Came in From The Cold. In the cast, playing the role of George Smiley, was Tony Turner - better known to some of us on here as Vince Casey from #TheArchers

Only the superhuman efforts from NHS staff kept it going during Covid. Despite problems with the NHS staff, let's not forget that. Also, many of those staff were immigrants. #NHS #Covid www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Hmm. Seems like the counselling is having a positive effect on George. #TheArchers

Carol, at your age you don’t “fall over”, you “have a fall”. #TheArchers

Although there is now no realistic possibility of promotion for Blues, I still want them to play as if there is. I would also hope for form that is consistent with a promotion push next season. #BCFC #KRO

For Archers addicts. #TheArchers

Have to give some credit to Sheffield Utd for how they played away from home with 10 men. But Blues' simply not looking good enough to make the play-offs imo despite the hits on the woodwork. Too many simple passes not reaching their target. #KRO #BCFC #BIRSHU

Blues hitting the woodwork for the 3rd time. #BCFC #KRO

Beadle saves an admittedly poor penalty, and then a point-blank save from a Bamford header. #BCFC #KRO

So, they're going to replace cricket with ......... cricket! #TheArchers

The “flash wheels”, Lynda’s speeding campaign, and the honking car the other night could be precursors to a speeding accident in #TheArchers. If so, then I hope it isn’t Amber being hit and losing the baby. (In unrelated news, I’m becoming a conspiracy theorist.)

Come tifoso dell'Inghilterra sono deluso, ma congratulazioni all'Italia per la storica vittoria di oggi nel rugby. #SixNations #Rugby

Saw a post that it’s surprising that George hasn’t yet exploited Brian’s (false) confession. Then: why haven’t the police updated George on the (wrongful) prosecution of Marky’s mate? Also: if George won’t come forward with his evidence then is he perverting the course of justice again? #TheArchers

Please, if you want to stop Reform and have a vote, then go out and vote for either Labour or Green. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Will the foreign criminal be detained by ICE? Tommy 10 names Robinson was previously held in the US in 2012 for using a false passport - because he was banned from entering the US due to his criminal record. He scarpered back to the UK using his own passport and was arrested and jailed in the UK

A vote for Matt Goodwin/Reform in #GortonAndDenton is a vote for racism and misogyny. A vote to shame the constituency, to divide and fail it. It’s a vote that takes no responsibility for its consequences because it hasn’t thought about them and doesn’t care enough to do that. Don’t be that voter.

Blues 0-3 down and now down to 10 men. Not so much a mountain to climb as a mountain range. Could be damage limitation now. #BCFC #KRO
