Zephirine said...: Godfather 2 certainly, also the revived version of 'Chicago' - but mostly on TV the first series is the best, no?; 16 October 2007 at 14:53

I understand this may not help much; 16 October 2007 at 15:06

offsideintahiti said...: Thanks filou, I'm just not sure Marcela means TV series at all.; 16 October 2007 at 21:06
Zephirine said...: I think she probably does (partly) because I have reason to believe she's currently hooked on a series called The Wire... Marcela? explain?; 16 October 2007 at 21:18
Unknown said...: didn't there always use to be a kid at school who had no tv?

what this thread's replies have shown is one can always read more than was said

tony said...: You haven't seen the wire, Zeph? Oh but you must. If you don't mind being a buccaneer and you have something like e-mule, you can look for a site called called tvunderground.

After that you should, of course find some way to buy the rest of the series; 16 October 2007 at 22:34

guitougoal said...: I still don't have a T.V,but I have a toaster. So what are we poets , "Saltimbanks" or materialistic bourgeois?
My Radiola Transistor 1951 serie 2 is so much better than the Grundig 1948 anyway.Short waves,long waves,surfing is fun.; 17 October 2007 at 00:08
Zephirine said...: The Wire is da best, most def.

But Guitou, does having a toaster make you a materialistic bourgeois?

I used to want to be a saltimbanque in a caravan but oh, I got older. I bought things. Sigh.; 17 October 2007 at 00:14
guitougoal said...: Zeph,
about the toaster, I still don't know how to use it.
I can picture you, leaving in a caravan, a gipsy bandana on your head:

Zephirine said...: Madame O... like the perfect omelette? the one that was just the right consistency and folded in half to perfection...

Sigh...; 17 October 2007 at 11:39
MrsOffside said...: Lady Zephirine... or the one and only perfect cheese soufflé, one in a lifetime, you unfortunalty cooked just to try on your brain new oven, and eat all by yourself on a rainy sunday afternoon...

aaaaargh...; 18 October 2007 at 08:59
Unknown said...: omelette? souffle?

what's wrong with quiche i ask you

eggs are hard to beat

Anonymous said...: The Egg is the perfect fast food. Comes complete in its shell with all components ready to go. Boil or poach - you only need water.

For the perfect omelette - you have to break eggs.

That's life.; 18 October 2007 at 20:55
