I don't think that that's valid PHP to be honest.

For one of their legendary omlette recipes presumably.
To be fair to the Archers it is billed as the everyday story of farming folk so selling eggs kinda goes with the territory. ![]() Quote:
they don't just 'chuck' away an egg selling storyline ..........they'll spread it out for a few weeks
it'll be a 'will they, won't they' cliffhanger............ Quote:

Even at its dullest The Archers is strangely addictive.

This Archers thing sounds like old Emmerdale - pre-CGI carnage.

Leave plane crashes, trains falling off viaducts, murders and suicides to the TV soaps. Archer listeners like a show that putters on fueled by ..well.. nothing of consequence.

2017 is going to be way worse. We've already started off with a mass shooting in Turkey. Lots more celebs are of the age to die and the elections on the Euro mainland will be insane.

Nice to see a DS poster that includes Turkey in their notion of 'us' though. Solidarity, brother!

The attacks in Paris in 2015 started on the 7th January. Just because something occurs within the first few days of the Gregorian calendar it does not follow that the rest of the year will be worse. You're talking mumbo-jumbo.

The Turkey attack was at the very start. So it's a pretty dramatic start. And with the celebs thing, lots are old so it's going to happen.

At the start of an arbitrary calendar. If it had happened on any other day of the year it would be equally dramatic, but still wouldn't have any bearing on the proceeding 12 months. You've obviously got your ear pressed firmly against the squeakiest wheel though, so I expect you will find the rest of the year rather grim.
Maybe start your own different thread? |

This thread specifically relates to years though. So not really sure what you're doing by going on about how the start of a year doesn't mean anything.

I've never heard the Archers. I might have to check it out. I've been mourning Ronnie and Roxie Mitchell's deaths and listening to some Leonard Cohen - but I've still not cheered up. ![]()
