James Joughin @jpjoughin.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Indeed the story of Mary Aarcher is genuinely interesting. How has she managed to keep it out of the public domain? 100
James Joughin @jpjoughin.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I do like a bit of vitriol. The ancient clip of Ian Hislop doing a Mastermind special subject on Archer is a bit of a hoot as well. 100

James Joughin @jpjoughin.bsky.social · 03/02/2026It never occurred to me there was to be a third series. If I’d known it was trying to compete in that world I would’ve had a different expectation. But with 15 minutes to go, I was wondering how they’re going to resolve this. You are left with a sense of being taken in. Bad faith scriptwriters 000
James Joughin @jpjoughin.bsky.social · 03/02/2026My thoughts exactly (although I’m getting shot by all sides of the family for daring to say so) 100
James Joughin @jpjoughin.bsky.social · 30/11/2025Terrific. Keep going on this. Find more local stories, develop more strategies as to what the citizen can do. One of Mick’s suggestions - Public guidance on checking waste-carrier licences - needs to be explored further. It would not be expensive to have some kind of education campaign. 010
