At the end of yesterday's episode of "The Greatest", there was a dedication to Jay Benedict, who died in 2020. I wondered what part he had played in the series, but I've been unable to find out. His...
There was a Matt cartoon in the Daily Telegraph yesterday or the day before. Two men are in a jail cell. One says, "You're in for Morocco? I'm doing ten years for a holiday in Cape Town." I don't get...
Please look at the A-Ha video for "Take On Me". It is partially set in a café. There is a waitress who I thought looked a bit like Lynda Baron, but then I thought maybe not. I've looked on IMDb and...
Why should the EU have embassies anywhere? It is not a nation state. If you were a German (or any other nationality in the EU) abroad and had a problem, where would you rather go to -- a German...
I have watched the ITV series "The Pembrokeshire Murders". I thought it was very good. It explained the process by which John Cooper was brought to justice. But there is just one thing I don't...
Always thought Tim on Corrie was quiet attractive but was surprised to see the other night that he has a massive tattoo across his chest and down his arm. It was awful, couldn't work out what if was...
Jimmy Nail was offered "two thousand dollars a week" to play a role in Evita. He was "just about to moan" when the offer was clarified "per diem". According to Jimmy, this means that the expenses an...

I have heard -70 and -80 mentioned on TV reports. Which is it? This is much colder than any freezer is capable of. How are they going to store this vaccine at such low temperatures? And how did they...
Using the conventional units for very small moments in time (nanoSeconds, Picoseconds, etc) How would you present a period of time that would be described as 1/138000000th of a second? Thanks in...
Our son lives in Australia. He is much more computer literate than I am. Last year he made photobooks of his son's first year and posted a copy to us in England. The postage cost a heck of a lot. I...
I don't have a smartphone. I don't want one. But some photo printing companies offer 50 free prints a month with an app that can only be used with a smart phone. Why can't they or won't they offer me...
There is a TV advert with a skateboarding Churchill-type dog. It passes a row of shops with "Queen's Arcade" above them. There is an Antiques shop, a Fine Arts shop, a Travel shop and a shop with...
I only watch Emmerdale and Corrie, which is two too many for some people, I know. But it seems to me that all conversations in these two soaps begin in one of two ways. The first is "Are you OK?"...
By what right do schools fine parents for taking children out of school during term time? Perhaps 'fine' is technically the wrong word. I thought only courts could fine people when an offence,...
