I saw an episode of the English TV show "Top Gear" last night (what
can I say, there's a writers' strike).

It must be great to have access to quality televison for a change.

Ever since Tony mentioned "Green Wing", I have been watching for it to
show up on Bell Expressvu (satellite). It finally showed up this past
weekend. It was decidedly weird, and strangely compelling. Quite funny
in spots.

Talking of weird, but with funny bits and quite a few unbearably silly
bits... Has anyone seen... forgotten the proper title: something like
"Black Books" or the "Black Book Shop"?

We like that in this house - it has the benefit of including the
strange and wonderful Bill Bailey.
