    Thanks - may the Grint be with you, always.

    I'm here every day (via RSS, at least)! I just lurk, that's all.

    Besides, I'm only pedantic because I care...

    I loved the idea that it was the father's dying wish she not be told he was dying. Reminded Neil (my partner) of the Man City ex-boss whose apparant death-bed words were "the last thing I want is for City to go down"...

    Which can definitely be read two ways.

    Wonder if the dad's words were similarly interpreted?

Asides

  • Mon 24 Nov: I'm going to be very busy until Thursday so chances are I won't be doing much reviewing of Survivors, 24: Redemption et al. Sorry!
  • Tue 18 Nov: Does it count in the CSI: Miami drinking game if David Caruso and Emily Procter are apparently in the same scene together, but they never speak to each other and you never see both their faces at the same time?
  • Sat 15 Nov: The Ascent of Money "sponsored by Cayman Islands". Huh. What's going on there then?
