I Am A Swede

Go Canada!! Canada's UN mission goes viral with tweet mocking Russian letter to United Nations

^^ Aha, ok

^^ Maybe the answer is obvious and I'm just clueless, but....what is wypipo??

Maybe that's a blessing. I shudder to think what the current regime would consider "exciting".

Of course I know he's an actor! Like I said, I was just skimming through the list and saw the name Adewale, and he's the only Adewale I had heard of, so for a split second, no more than that, his image popped up in my mind.

Skimming through the list and coming to number 12 I thought "what has Adebisi from Oz done to Russia"? And then I realized that that was Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje!

You know, reading that article about Paula really brought it home how much I miss the older characters on Emmerdale nowadays. I know that the Covid epidemic is a big reason for their absence but still.... Diane's departure really left a big hole on the canvas, in more ways than one. I miss the (unholy) trinity of Betty, Pearl and Edna sitting in the Woolpack, offering their (sometimes unwanted) opinions on everything and everyone, like a Greek chorus. Speaking of that, has there been any on-screen explanation for Pearl's disappearance or has she just vanished into thin air? If any explanation has been given I must have missed it.

Aww.... I miss Paula (and Betty)
