Launching a car up a ramp like a Hot Wheels isn’t flying. When I buy a flying car, it has to have wings. Imma wait for this (and the hat, too).

Falling off the ramp and using rockets to stabilize the landing isn’t flying. Hell, the *Dukes of Hazzard’s General* got more hang-time AND forward movement each week than the Tesla did. Now THIS is a flying car. No CGI, just physics and math. Over 50 years ago.

I think Vince in a ham-fisted way was heading toward that - giving him a chance to learn management skills at Casey Meats. But by the end of that conversation, all I wanted to give Freddie was a thick ear! #TheArchers (Not condoning violence, obvs 🙄, but give me strength 😒)

OTOH, if she knows she is losing her job, she might be just as glad to lose the house and not have a mortgage - much more flexible in job hunting if she’s not tied to a place. #TheArchers It would be gutting to get the house then lose the means to pay for it. Terrifying, too, imo

I don’t think Joe explicitly told Eddie “Nic ran over Matt”. I think it was more oblique than that, more like “she was upset by that business with Matt”. #TheArchers

Finding out what *doesn’t* frighten the company bosses is the scary part. “Hack other entity’s firewalls in your search.”

I wouldn’t call a massive extraction operation a “one day war”, but, y’know, I’m sure it counts in his tally of “wars I have ended”. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Cool. So, what happens when your AI assistant gets the dreaded phone menu (“listen carefully as our options have changed”)? Can the agent press 0 repeatedly to get a real person? What if your agent is answered by their AI agent? Do the 2 agents moan to each other about their lazy human overlords? 😆

He could say, “look at my bank statement, there’s the £60 to Felpersham Florist for the flowers, and here’s the £6,000 from Carol. It was obviously a mistake.” Easy to enter too many 0s, depending on the app. My banks usually flag “that’s more than you usually pay, please confirm.” #TheArchers

This is brilliant. Norwegians do humour well and here to make a serious point.

My paternal grandfather appears to have sprung from the earth fully formed, as far as I can tell. There is no mention of parents or siblings in any of our family history. I would have to dig out the family tree for my my mother’s father’s mother’s name. But I know the other five!

Good lord, those are long hours. They must have some impressive lighting systems. That seems a bit ambitious for the Snells, and for Ambridge. What *is* the target market? How many non-working dogs are there in Ambridge, do we think? I suppose they’re in the various subdivisions … #TheArchers

Ha! The Snells should rent out Salieri as a sheep-guard - or lend him free to David to make amends. That’s what llamas were bred for, IIRC. #TheArchers

Don’t they have the land, though? I presume Salieri has a field to roam in - surely he doesn’t spend all his time in a shed? They could stable him during business hours and let him out again before and after. I feel sorry for him, with no same-species friend now. #TheArchers

FWIW, I’m with Adrian on this. I couldn’t understand why Tracey was stopping Brad from doing the right thing. He knew he had to pay for it, and offered a solution (payment plan maybe?). I get that she’s pissed at Helen, but she should be encouraging an honest male Horrobin! #TheArchers

Well, if he doesn’t care that what he says can be considered hate speech, then maybe he’ll be OK with being arrrested and charged for hate speech? Like, the RCMP or CSIS can do that, right?

We won’t know how des a res it is until we see the bathroom 😉 I would have loved a Lindy sniff, and “of course, we’ll have to do something about *that*”. A des res with room for a pony-I-mean-llama must still be quite big, surely? #TheArchers

And that’s how insurance works. But, “better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.”

The Other Sarah 🇨🇦🧶⛵️📖 @sarahcm.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
It’s the administrative costs that are the big burden in the US. As you show, 15-25% vs 2.5%. Everything has a billing code, and medical billing is a specialized skill: ensuring that something is coded and billed correctly so the insurance co. or Medicare will pay.

Thank you. That sounds like a dog park here, though here they are free to the user. A fenced area for off-lead exercise. Usually provided and maintained by the local council, but our subdivision has one large grassy park and three small gravel plots maintained by the management.

The Other Sarah 🇨🇦🧶⛵️📖 @sarahcm.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
So, is a “dog field” like a dog park over here? Where owners bring their dogs and stand around chatting while the dogs play? Or a doggie daycare with kennels, food & water and the manager ensures the dogs play, eat, drink & rest as needed? #TheArchers SIL’s dog goes to a farm weekly, that does that

Quite apart from having three rectums and only two anuses (ani?) - which could lead to some discomfort - I’m almost surprised they didn’t include testicles and penis, as another infamous picture did. Maybe when we get a front view?

A sigh of relief when the pix moved to the attic and a white bedroom - then to see that the next bedroom is also Barbified 😟 One blue room, yay! Is that pink underlighting in the kitchen, or white light on aggressively pink tile?

Changing door widths in an 1840s cottage might not be easy Those doors are probably in supporting walls, which would require re-engineering. If it’s stone/brick, we could be talking partial demolition. ##TheArchers Time to move out of Ambridge and in with Anna 😳

My great-grandfather broke his hip at 94 when he fell off the roof. Pneumonia is what took him, though. (History does not record what he was doing on the roof. Probably fixing something.) I liked Carol better when she was Eleanor Bron. The interaction with Anna is like my SIL/MIL #TheArchers

If there is, or was, a mortgage on the property, the lender will definitely have a record! It’s in their interest to know such things, if one borrower dies. Insurance company might also have it on record. Of course, I’ve never purchased property in UK, so I could be completely wrong!

In the legal sense, it hearkens back to the French tenir, to have, or possibly Latin tenere, to hold. They hold the deed to the cottage (or more likely, they hold a mortgage on the deed)

“To err is human; to forgive, divine”. @theradr.bsky.social has an excellent book called “On Repentance and Repair”. I suggest that the boys, having repented for the damage, somehow make reparations. The boys were thoughtless teenagers, but honest. Pat should mind her own business #TheArchers
