They say the Trident subs will pop up and listen to Radio 4 LW and if it isn't there, assume the worst and launch.

Hope they aren't waiting for Betty Hughes and her Amazing Treasures, because it's frozen. Not even a "We are Sorry" caption.

Russians?

That's enough gin for you op.
Time for coffee.

You ok Hun?

ConsulTremas · 25/09/2021 19:49

I saw a cat chasing a dog earlier, so maybe this is a further omen.

VirgilStarkwell · 25/09/2021 19:51

And after launch, they realise the batteries in the radio had been appropriated for the captain’s fleshlight. Oops!

How bloody strange.
I just turned over from the cube to check this out.
Maybe the car ran out of petrol

Channel 4? It was Channel 5 earlier, which was annoying as I was enjoying Two Mules for Sister Sara, or summat, as I was getting ready to go out. Oh well, it’s been good while it lasted.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 25/09/2021 19:56

(Life not Channel 5, Channel 5 has been largely shite)

BillinaTheChickenQueen · 25/09/2021 19:56

Ffs, you beat me to it teenage.
I knew I shouldn’t have talked to the fucking dc.

Back when there were only 3 channels in the 70s, ITV were on strike for almost a year, and still got audiences of almost a million. People just left it on in the hope it would start up again eventually.

(Still No Betty.)

What the bloody hell is going on.
It certainly feels like the start of a zombie apocalypse.

Sparklesocks · 25/09/2021 20:08

It seems ok to me, is it fixed now?

Burnt0utMum · 25/09/2021 20:09

According to Twitter there's been a fire at the broadcast centre

BillinaTheChickenQueen · 25/09/2021 20:09

Bristol Street motors are certainly getting their money’s worth in advertising.

Seasidemumma77 · 25/09/2021 20:09

Film4 froze for a bit too

Seems harsh.

I haven't got a clue as to what's going on here but you all need to finish your blackberry picking this weekend as blackberries picked in October may make you ill.
That and buy your sprouts after first frosts, which will be in a couple of weeks from Scotland.
I'd also recommend checking your thatch and also putting a thick mulch down soon.

I have picture but no sound on channel 4...
