LOL. On any cooking show, a French chef will say, "uhhh" at least
once or twice in every single sentence while talking english with
that annoying sissy french accent. ;)

It;s the true story of Alison Wilson and her husband, Alexander
?Alec? Wilson. Alison is played by her real life grand-daughter Ruth
Wilson.
 
some more about the background

story-behind-ruth-wilsons-new-bbc-drama-mrs-wilson/
 
quote
 

"Although some of the facts around Alexander Wilson are a bit murky
thanks to MI6?s classified files and Alec?s own habit of telling lies
and keeping secrets, we do know that Ruth Wilson?s grandfather was born
in 1893 and died in 1963. He was a novelist, a spy and an MI6 agent, and
? most dramatically ? he was a serial bigamist with four wives.
 
So what was he playing at?
 
?We haven?t come to a conclusion,? Ruth Wilson told press at a screening
in London. ?MI5 still won?t release his records as to what he got up to
there, they?re ?case sensitive?, whatever that means, but after 70 years
they won?t release them so we don?t really know what he actually got up
to or what he was doing with MI5, or MI6.
 
?We don?t know if the marriages were partly ? were they for work? Were
they for love? We still don?t have clarity on that. So he?s a man of
mystery.?
 
MI5 and MI6 are British Govt Intelligence departments. Spies.
 
There's lots more in that link about his career, children and wives and
how it all came out.

Most of Alec Wilson's children are till alive; he really was a spy and
bigamist and his descendants wanted the film to tell his true story (as
far as it's known). ISTR the TV dramatisation made some slight dramatic
leeeway on Alison tracing more wives than she ever found out about IRL,
but the underlying story is real.(4 wives and 7 children).

Just curious - what's the difference between the two?
Also, are there other (numbered) MI departments?
I'll look it up but you live there so perhaps you can
tell us. Always better to have a citizen's view.
 
Several variations here in the US.
- CIA
- NSA
- DSA
- FBI (for domestic)
- probably more too that we don't know about.

You posted John had no prior record and I was drawing you attention to
where John explains you are wrong.
 
If you want to know what he did then you can ask him.

I can't agree for one moment that it's regular behaviour of a young man.
Nearly all the people I know never got arrested when young or got thrown
in the cells and almsot none of them have any police record. It's a
disgrace that you try to normalise such behaviour. Perhaps you associate
with people where a modicum of criminality is entirely normal but I don't.
 
Furthermore, cannabis is currently illegal in my country and until it ever
becomes legal then possessing it is against the law and rightly so.
 
You can't choose the laws you want to abide by because then some people
would ignore motoring safety laws they didn't like or laws about social
misconduct. In the UK it is illegal to watch live tv without a licence
and millions disagree with this but it's the law. In some American states
it is illegal to take liquor across a state line and no matter how much
you think it's unreasonable, it's the law.
 
If John broke the law three times in 24 months then he knew what he was
doing. What he did was clearly serious enough to warrent detention in
police cells, so he may not have been simply using a drug. Perhaps John
was drug dealing. That's definitely not an okay activity.

John may not be able to help himself when under-medicated but that does
not mean he is permitted to go around making realistic threats to shoot
others. Far better to avoid the chance of a nasty outcome by reporting
it.

It didn't get very far. The guy had several properties up and down the
street and a habit of trying to claim land by squatters rights. At the
time he had several suits going on with other neigbours. He had apple
trees right up to my property line and was disking and moving my land.
Knowing about that, had a friend survey my property One evening the
guy was disking he orchard and going right across my land. I went out
with a pile of survey stakes and and axe to pound them into the ground.
he was running them over, so as he was headed toward my property I
hammered a stake into ground and then stood there. He stopped about 6
inches from me and told me "Get the fuck out of my way or I'll run you
over. " I told him to stay off my land. He popped the clutch and lurched
toward me. I jumped back and swung the axe at the tractor. It was a
lucky strike. I hit the headlight. It broke off and flew right at his
head, He had to duck, but he kept coming, The ace was up, and then it
came down on the fender.
 
It worked. It was purely defensive. The neighbour on the other side
witnessed it all and backed me up. The best part was that there was now
an incident report that was pretty good evidence that I had not allowed
him to use the property. The fact that it had happened on my property
and that he had tried to run me over didn't help his complaint.
 
Next encounter I had with him was over a tree on the property line. He
said it was on his property and I better not cut it down. It was a
crappy old Manitoba maple, aka weed tree. A couple weeks later it blew
over . I called him up and said You know that tree that you said is
yours.... it blew over and is sitting across my back yard. He said he
would send his boys to clean it up the next day.
 
As it turned out, my wife worked at school for the mentally retarded ,a
term no longer PC, but that is what it was called them. They had a lawn
care program and he hired them to look after our lawn. They showed up
the next morning and the teacher in charge had them clean it up. I
didn't ask them. They just did. The crazy farmer called that evening and
he was pissed off that the tree had been cleaned up and all the wood and
branches removed. It was crap wood. He didn't want it. He was just
pissed that I <?> had had it cleaned up when he said he do it. He just
wouldn't let it go. Someone saved him work but he was still pissed, and
i don't know what the hell he expected me to do about it.

Coffee first, of course. Then bean sprouts, tomato, morning glory, bok
choy, chilli, garlic and egg. Cucumber on the side.

Tonight, the wife is making Moo Palo (Pork and duck egg stew with
Chinese five spice): https://thaifoodmaster.com/preparation/stew/686
 
This is just freakin' delicious and I think it safe to say most people
if given the chance to try it will love it. We have it often. Very
easy to make, you really don't need every ingredient listed in the
above link - the key things are: pork belly (or similar pork cut),
eggs and Chinese 5 spice... hmm, and probably the palm sugar, fish and
oyster sauces.

Morning glory must be something different for you. To me, it's
Ipomea purpurea, whose seeds are poisonous in quantity.

My breakfast was as always: oatmeal with raisins, brown sugar, and
butter. A glass of milk on the side.

We had chicken stir-fried with onion, finished with soy sauce, a squeeze
of lemon juice, and a pat of butter. Preceded by a tossed salad and
accompanied by rice flavored with sesame oil.

I agree. Even if the "something else" is nothing more than media buzz.

It's a vast conspiracy by the Avocado Cabal. They've paid Trump to
close the border so they price will rise.

Cheap quick dinner here. Went to Country Farms hoping to score a lot of
veggies. I did get some but it wasn't as good as I'd hoped. In terms of
produce they had far more fruit than vegetables. The bell peppers were nice
but puny. I did buy a couple but Winco had much better prices on some
things. Then Winco was out of some of the stuff on my list. Like small bags
of non-clumping cat litter.
 
So... Dinner is three different Red Baron frozen pizzas that I doctored up
with more cheese. The four cheese one looked pretty good but the meat topped
ones needed more, IMO, A really good salad, using up the rest of my baby
Romaine, yellow grape tomatoes, half a small cucumber, celery, large black
olives, pecans a and Feta cheese. Stir fried veggies. Red onion, asst, bell
peppers, yellow squash and a freebie bag of baby carrots from QFC that
needed to be used up. I quit buying baby carrots for the most part after
Angela moved out but these were free so I took them. Used olive oil to stir
fry and seasoned with salt and pepper.
