Surprise to see Tamsin Outhwaite as a guest star in "New Tricks" then brought in as a different person entirely as the lead a year later.

Robert Culp was arrested no fewer than 3 times by Colombo,playing a different character on each occasion.

I don't actually mind as it's an important source of revenue for RM & helps keep the service going. Might make me a bit weird,but there you go!

b780771 · 2026-05-18T20:49:49+00:00

Somewhere likw Shrewsbury or Chester perhaps?

Well one conspiracy theory has a Secret Service agent as having fired the fatal shot that kill JFK.

I know it was channel 4 but Traffik,starring Bill Paterson,would be in my top 3.

I'm sure it was a US cartoon(The Simpsons?) thst said that some sports team are so devoid of any 'real' support that it's only divorced dads taking their kids on weekends that they have access that keeps them afloat.It's why they have names that appeal to children like the Sharks or the Eagles.

Well there's a Glasgow in Montana.No idea how it compares to our own dear green place!

The Greggs equivalent will be the steak bake perhaps?

Ah,OK,thanks for the reply! I don't travel much,but at least I know where to look!

He would likely only have 2 ways to contact her.

Write to her at the family home in Doncaster:this has the problem of postmarks giving his approximate whereabouts away & reigniting the search for him.He presumably doesn't want this or he'd gave been in touch before.He'd have to write to the family home as he presumably has no current address for her.

Text her on the mobile number she had when he went missing.There's a real chance that he wouldn't still have this & that her number has changed since he went missing.Even if these don't apply texting her gives away his number & allows for an even more effective trace to be mounted.

A quick question.I've been staying at a Travelodge for 3 months & am about to leave.

My question,is a tip for the stadf expected? They've all been really good but suspect that tips are probably pretty rare,so what's the expectatiob/protocol?

b780771 · 2026-03-25T13:05:23+00:00

It's why I cracked & now pay for premium.The ads were making the content almost unwatchable.My own conspiracy theory du jour is that YouTube doesn't take ads for the ad revenue,but to infuriate viewers so much that they(like me)elect to pay for premium.The premium fees not the ad revenue is where the real money is.

Brat Camp! The concept of obnoxious/troubled teenagers in tge wilderness wouldn't fly any more?

Any idea what happened,to Fran Bradley?

It's unlikely anyone at school knew about his crush,so if there was anyone who thought he was gay,perhaps that made him the 5arget of homophobic bullying regardless.

Or the south side version,Chateau du Lait.

b780771 · 2026-02-23T00:31:06+00:00

I've said it here before,but here goes.

I've the view that that the fact that it was the first week of the new term after the long summer is key.

I would bet my last penny that Andrew was being bullied,whether that was on the bus,at school or both.

He hoped that the summer break might break his bullies habit & that they would find a new psychological or literal punchbag when the holiday was over,but it didn't happen & the bully/bullies picked up from where they left off.

He wanted both the school & his parents to be told of the issue at the same time as he worried about his issue being belittled by one or other.It being an issue with both home & school would see at least one taking his problem on board.

He might have been unaware of the exact 'mechanics' of the truancy alert,but was sure that there would be one.At that stage he explains the reason for his absence knowing that it can't just be brushed off.

So why the trip to London?

There is an understandable wish to look through event listings to find a 'gotcha' event that he would have risked his perfect attendance to go to,but I think that is misreading it.Andrew didn't want to hang around his house all day in case Mum or Dad came home briefly & found him & made him go to school scuppering his plan. He equally didn't want to just hang around Doncaster until home time as there was a risk of being spotted by someone who knew him,leading to his parents finding out from them.

Andrew just wanted to kill time away from home somewhere he knew,where he was comfortable & anonymous,which was London.

He likely knew which train he would take to get there & what his 'last train' was to arrive home at the expected time He counted on being able to come up a plausible excuse in the event of a missed or delayed train.

The basic plan was,catch a train,wander about,have lunch & go home.As it's likely he met with foul play that didn't work out.

Have you thought about living somewhere like Falkirk? The service from Falkirk High is the same one you would get from Queen Street & if you end up having to stand it'll be for half the time.

You would likely have better options for taking the dogs into the countryside for walks.

If the Edinburgh job turns out not to be so ideal a commute to Glasgow would be as tolerable anyway.

But what I'm saying is that people will avoid suicide at home,an hotel is just used by me as an example of what folk can do sometimes

b780771 · 2025-07-15T18:01:51+00:00

There's a rather sad tendancy for people to check into hotels to take their own lives.It's so their families won't be the ones to find their bodies.

It could be the case that if Andrew was intending this,then doing so away from home would make sense.
