I like cricket but didn't recognise the name Botham, he's terribly old hat
now :-)

We don't read any newspapers. Having been involved in news publishing I'm
worse than a sceptic, I'm certainly not paying money for them.

I find that TV + Radio + the web more than sufficient, especially since
nearly all newspapers seem to be turning into tabloids....

Not really - that's why he's used and paid, to promote English meat as a
cartoon character. He's one of the best cricketers England ever had so his
name is still in the forefront of sport in those terms - bit like John
Arlott and that wonderful cricket commentating voice of his. I think Botham
moved to Alderney to be near Arlott!

To join in the feud Arlott had with somebody?

Did he? I know he a reputation for being a considerable trencherman and
boozer but always in the nicest possible way! Alderney people tend to have
that reputation...... ;-)


And Botham, now living in Somerset,

In Midsomer Wotsit?
http://www.geocities.com/televisionc...tionsindex.htm

Some lovely locations there, aren't there? I don't know precisely where
Botham lives, though!

'Midsomer Murders' appear on both Dutch and Belgian TV.
Bergerac is being shown yet agin on Belgian TV.

I guess that working at the Police all day means I don't want to watch
detectives at night :~)~

Ah, but this is all very genteel and the baddies always get caught in the
best tradition of English crime stories!
Perhaps you'd enjoy Van der Valk more!

No, data and functional manager for various Police systems.

Is that connected to what the police and detectives are doing?

Yes, in as much as they use the systems to track and record crime in the
area.

I wondered what is is about data management, that put you off watching
cop shows.
Janet

probably something buried deep in my psyche Janet :~))

Midsomer Murders has more crime than the whole of NL.
Maybe not as much as there is in the Dutch Police Force :-)
There are always a minimum of three murders per episode, quite
dramatic for a cluster of small villages each with a population of a
few hundred. Any known actor making an appearance is always the killer
even Roger Lloyd-Pack, who played Trigger in Only Fools and Horses.
:-)

I think they've cut the murder ratio down a bit in the new series. It must
have been so tiring.... ;-)

Probably one of those stone media tablets Moses went on about.

Ah, the first advertising hoardings!
Not far from where we live there's an area of Dartmoor known as Buckland
Beacon and there we too, have our Commandment Stones, chiselled out by
someone in the 1920s, now a little weathered but still a source of interest
to so many people.

I buy the Daily Mail every day except sunday, cos the sunday edition has so
much rubbish in it, I have to throw away 70% of it, so to save money I don't
buy it.

I only buy it weekdaily to do the codeword puzzle anyway, the rest of it
mainly goes unread.
