I Am A Swede

"Gazpacho" police??!! I think that is the one of the stupidest things I have ever heard!

So, the new owners of the Woolpack are..... Charity and Ryan!! I'm not surprised, but still.... It's becoming an exercise in self-torture to watch this show. Maybe I'll just stick around for the 50th anniversary. I'm sure whatever they will come up with in terms of "celebration" will be enough to destroy any lingering positive feelings I have.

Yes, Archie was a unique character, and I especially liked his friendship with Zoe.

Not a bit surprised. She's probably not allowed to leave China anymore. She has also apparently claimed that everything was a misunderstanding, and that the reason she disappeared from view for a while was computer problems.....

I was watching the first episode of the second series of the new "All Creatures Great and Small" when I noticed that one of the supporting cast looked vaguely familiar.... But it wasn't until the end credits that I realized the truth! The actor playing Mr. Alderson (Helen's father) is none other than Tony Pitts, formerly Archie Brooks on "Emmerdale Farm" from 1983 to 1993.

This is amazing! Gold medal in 5 straight Olympic Games! Winter Olympics: Ireen Wust wins 1500m gold and sets record

How swiftly the press turns from despair to jubilation. After surprising medal misses in cross-country skiing and biathlon we get a gold in men's mogul skiing, and the disaster headlines are instantly forgotten.

The entry from North Macedonia had a very appropriate title. It felt like that song went round round in circles.....

^^ Let me start by saying that on the overriding issue I don't think our opinions differ. The WTA handled the situation with Seles' stabbing atrociously. They should have simply said to the other players that until Seles returned her ranking would be frozen, and when she returned it would stay that way for a year. No discussion. What I reacted to was the way it felt like you put more responsibility on Graf than on the other players for how things went down. Maybe I read more into what you said than you intended, and if that is the case then I'm sorry. That's why I brought up that Graf was the only top player who didn't participate in the vote about Seles' ranking. Singling out her response from the rest of the players feels a little like placing a tiny bit of blame on her for what happened to Seles, since it was one of her "fans" who committed the stabbing.
