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 https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2019-04-01/what-is-the-real-life- 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. Janet UK |

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). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Wilson_(British_writer) https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2019-04-01/what-is-the-real-life- story-behind-ruth-wilsons-new-bbc-drama-mrs-wilson/ Janet UK |

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. |

I bet Boris, > your next PM, has done worse. 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. |

That post deserved a look. 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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

Pan fried cod fillet with Fordhook lima beans. > Jill 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. |
