@TimHamblinShale @Classicbritcom Agreed. And I love the fan theory that it's a Black Books prequel. Almost works if you squint.

Remembering the wonderful English actress Charlotte Coleman who was botn on this day in 1968. She died of bronchial asthma in 2001. She was just 33. #CharlotteColeman #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #OrangesAreNotTheOnlyFruit #MarmaladeAtkins #WorzelGummidge #HowDoYouWantMe

@bertsbooks Starting this one, a cosy crime set in the world of Austen's Emma. Harriet Smith reimagined as a con artist turned detective!

@GordonB41266855 @daveainsworth63 Ah, really? I must have another listen!
English

@TimHamblinShale @daveainsworth63 Yes, me too. I do like Ian Carmichael. Pretty dodgy accent for Superintendent Kirk though.

Remembering the brilliant English actor Peter Vaughan (Peter Ohm) who was born on this day in 1923. He died in 2016. #PeterVaughan #Porridge #GameOfThrones #TimeBandits #TheRemainsOfTheDay #CitizenSmith #OurFriendsInTheNorth #TheMother #DeathAtAFuneral #ThePiedPiper

@GordonB41266855 @daveainsworth63 Yes, listened to that recently. Excellent as ever.

@CatherineC46085 @stevepicray @megbasham @jbendery For the record there is communion but with hosts consecrated prior to Good Friday, so technically Mass.
English

NEW: The Pentagon today invited more than 3,500 employees to attend a Good Friday service at its in-house chapel.
Except it’s only for Protestants, not Catholics. huffpost.com/entry/news-liv…
English

@brimichaelmc @megbasham @jbendery Veneration of the cross, but communion with hosts consecrated prior to Good Friday, so a hugely important service for those of that faith but not technically, Mass.
English

@megbasham @jbendery I just returned from Good Friday mass. Yes, we do. 😊
English

@dblaroche @megbasham @jbendery Understandable, but (and stay with me here!) the communion hosts used were consecrated prior to Good Friday. So while a hugely important service to those of that faith, not technically Mass.
English

@megbasham @jbendery At my church we were given the consecrated host by the priest this evening (Good Friday). My understanding is that this is a mass.
English

@Classicbritcom How Do You Want Me? is one of my all-time faves.
English

@FrankLuntz @jbendery No, a service with the veneration of the cross and communion with hosts consecrated the previous day. But not Mass.
English

@jbendery Do Catholics traditionally have mass on Good Friday? 🤔
English

@PhilLambell Fiftieth anniversary next year! I imagine The Guardian's foreign desk are already toiling away on a special.

@CL_Meadows Aw, Wiz! ❤️
I don't know why you put up with her!

Big thanks to Medivet Faringdon for fast and decisive action today in seeing, scanning and diagnosing the dog with an infection which is causing an enlarged prostate, all by 2pm. He’s now on medication with a good prognosis.
Apparently he was ‘an angel’ while he was having the scan. Wonders never cease.

Now imagine you're an apple, a pear, a plum, a strawberry, an orange, a cake, an ice cream, a pickle, cheese, salami, a lollipop, a cherry pie, a sausage, a cupcake, a watermelon, or a green leaf.
Not so happy, is it

@Kitkat_1216 Sorry to hear that. Genuinely don't understand why anyone would act in that way.
English

@JNPhillips4 More of a push than a shove. I wonder if Parling would have pushed/swore had Doyle not brightly stuck the microphone towards him and asked the asinine question about signing MacDevitt?
English

@mariana057 This is one of those issues where the focus may need to be shifted from the quality to the quantity...
