I Am A Swede

We've had our first death due to the coronavirus here in Sweden today. Our government has banned every public gathering of more than 500 people. Break that ban and you risk up to six months in jail.

Another favourite has left the show.... https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/emmerdale/a31137179/emmerdale-doug-potts-exit-scenes-duncan-preston/

^^ I can't believe it's been 12 years since Jack's last appearance now.

Weinstein found guilty on some lesser charges, but not guilty on the more serious one https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-51621041

It's wash, rinse and repeat with this show now. It's not that long ago that Lachlan held Rebecca captive, and now they're repeating the same tired story with Pierce and Vanessa. If this was the reason they brought Pierce back then why bother? And they finally did what I expected right from the start...put Jamie with Belle. I guess I should give them some credit, because it took them a little longer than I thought, but here we are...... Why does every story on this show have to involve a Dingle? I guess it's a bit hard to avoid though since that wretched family dominates the show so completely.... I'm really starting to lose interest due to the Dingle dominance. It's more of a chore to watch now, and life is too short to waste watching something you don't enjoy anymore. It hurts a little since I have so many fond memories of this show, and it's been a part of my life for so long.

Yes! I finally found a good version of this beautiful theme on Youtube. It's the theme music from the mini-series "A Woman of Substance", based on the book by Barbara Taylor Bradford.

Yes, Nadal is out!! https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/51295106 Too bad that either Djokovic or Federer (in all likelihood the former) will reach the final. Men´s tennis need new faces. The Federer/Nadal/Djokovic stranglehold has lasted too long.

But this is ridiculous..... https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/emmerdale/a30642992/emmerdale-pierce-harris-graham-foster-return/

I hope Ashleigh Barty can give the Australian audience something to cheer about after the horrible fires. They haven't had a home player win in either Men's singles or Women's singles since Chris O'Neil in 1978!

I like the sound of this..... https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/emmerdale/a30637236/emmerdale-charley-webb-debbie-dingle-return/

Possibly. But in a post made to celebrate his 25 years of working on Emmerdale it would have been more fitting to post a picture of himself and someone like Steve Halliwell (Zak) or Paul Loughran (Butch), since they were the ones he worked with. Henry had been dead for 3 years when Sam first showed up, and he never appeared in an episode together with Amos either, (Amos only appeared in 6 episodes after Sam made his debut, in June and July 1995, and Sam was absent during those episodes) so why choose to post a picture of them on this occasion?
