It's a TV show. It's actually Irish ... with some Brits as well ... hilarious - I think you'd appreciate the humour. I must read Haddon. Have been meaning to for some time. I thought 'Curious Incident' did win a prize ??<BR/>Interested to read that you think Rufus Wainwright's version of Hallelujah better than Buckley's - someone else I must listen to. Oh deary me - there is just not enough time in a day to listen, read, appreciate all one would like to, is there Becky?<BR/>(And what do you know - the beer-swilling culture is international and not restricted to just the Antipodes after all.)Kay Cookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791873464409271216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17379339.post-1173154497928922052007-03-05T23:14:00.000-05:002007-03-05T23:14:00.000-05:00The TiVo makes it easy -- I have a "wish list" tha...The TiVo makes it easy -- I have a "wish list" that just finds everything Izzard is in for me...<BR/><BR/>I don't think I've started a book I didn't realize I'd read before, but I did once go to a movie, in the theater, and didn't realize until a good while into it that I'd gone to see it some months before. It was in re-release to generate Oscar buzz or something, thus demonstrating that my short-term memory is shorter than a year. Couldn't remember the title just now, but managed to figure it out thanks to the web: <I>L.A. Confidential</I>. I don't remember it overly well -- perhaps I should see it again.<BR/><BR/>The image of coupons blowing around in your car reminds me of the cover for CFTE!sandman1https://www.blogger.com/profile/11066816633017905095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17379339.post-1173147326069738692007-03-05T21:15:00.000-05:002007-03-05T21:15:00.000-05:00I know what you mean, b.

It's even harder to remember the author's name.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384247433281462082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17379339.post-1173095639865193832007-03-05T06:53:00.000-05:002007-03-05T06:53:00.000-05:00Wow, thanks for that info, Sandman.

It wasn't as polished or intellectual as <I>Dressed to Kill</I>, which came later and I think is brilliant, but there were still some laugh-out-loud moments. There's a different 1-hour show this Tuesday night which I suspect might be another older concert (can't tell from the description).<BR/><BR/>I also just found a listing for a show on FX called <I>The Riches</I>, evidently premiering Monday-next, a 1-hour show listing Eddie and Minnie Driver as leads and giving this description: "A family of gypsies assume the identity of a wealthy family in a posh suburban development." I'll give it a try, though I've seen him do an American accent in a film and found it quite off-putting!sandman1https://www.blogger.com/profile/11066816633017905095noreply@blogger.com
