Detective story

I love it when they investigate a murder scene on TV, and the detective says

'Hey, there's two coffee cups. They must have known their murderer.'

If I was murdered and they based their theory on the stuff I hadn't cleared up yet, it'd be....

Re: WHAT'S THE 411???

I worked with a guy once who told me "I'm gonna dump my girlfriend!"
"Oh," sez I, "Why's that?"
"That's the third time she's moved without telling me her new address!"

Re: Happy St.David's Day/beats Patrick by 16....


William is now the Prince of Wales.
Wales isn't in England, they're both part of Great Britain along with Scotland, and those with Northern Ireland form the United Kingdom.
The first English Prince of Wales was Edward of Caernarfon (later King Edward II), born in 1284 and invested by his father ...

Re: What are you doing for Lent?

I used to give stuff up during Lent, not because I'm religious, but just as a form of self-discipline. I don't do so now, I don't feel any great need.
One year I gave up salt, which was hard. Another time, beer, which was actually not too difficult. Giving up tea was torture, but the worst was the ...

I referred to it as England because I'm well aware that some Americans have difficulty understanding the geopolitics as it stands now, let alone how it was before the UK, GB and the countries came into being.

No disrespect to Padraig, but the Anglo--Saxons for whom 'England' is named had not appeared yet. He was Romano-British. You might as well say that Trump is Iroquoise because he lives in the right place.

Re: Plot Hole

So I thought further about this, and realised another glaring obstacle in the way of the apparent solution. No way is Lovesey such a sloppy plotmeister. an apparently trivial piece of gossip at the end of the book makes me think my favourite suspect is the actual guilty party. I think I need to read ...

So I was describing in an email the fat that anything electronic or digital has failed me recently, leading to the need for a new computer and phone, but also involving TV, printer, scanner, wi-fi... I could go on.

Plot Hole

I just finished reading one of Peter Lovesey's detective stories, and there was a massive plot hole. I wondered whether it was a mistake ( the two contradictory clues were hidden within a very few pages of each other) or whether the author was daring the reader to find the real solution. So I looked ...
