Just in case we need new premises tonight... :)

Was it the news that Peter Jackson had had emergency surgery for a perforated ulcer and filming would be delayed a while

Oh this is wonderful, Phoenix, reminds me of CSI NY too, one of my favourite programs and cities!

Did you have some frites and mayo with your beer?

No frites and mayo, unfortunately - is that traditional in Belgium? I wouldn't know, but perhaps you do...?

I believe it's traditional in Belgium, though I only heard it from friends who've been on day trips. I haven't been there myself! It sounds a bit difficult to digest, doesn't it?

I think in Holland too T, I have had them in Amsterdam.

Yes a delay in filming, does that mean he's coming home?

I think I would be able to manage it..

I'm watching some more Between the Sheets tonight as the DH has gone to the pub. It's all getting very emotional...

MrsLN will be interested to know whether your copy is okay. I believe his character is a bit of a shocker. So do I say enjoy or not?

ISmall, I bet it means he's sitting there in NZ feeling a bit cheesed off.

I've been sitting here, wondering where on earth I have seen this northern actor (not RA!!) and I just realised that it is Dean Andrews who was in Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes !!!! Wow - took me a while to work that one out...

My copy is fine - but I will have to be at the ready to switch it off!!! I'm really enjoying this drama!! And it's not so shocking as I was kind of expecting from the reviews I have read...

Who is dean Andrews?

My friend has stolen my copy of N&S! I lent it to her but she won't give it back yet, she has been Armitaged!!

Gosh yes, I had to get the DVDs but I saw Life on Mars Waiting for the Ashes to Ashes boxset to go down in price a bit in the local shops.

Dean Andrews played Ray in Ashes to Ashes and Life on Mars - here's a picture of him in Ashes.

He played Ray Carling, Small. Stealing a copy of N&S?? That is a serious crime. Better send RC and Gene Hunt to put the frighteners on her.
So what does she say about our Man?

I gave my sister a copy of North and South several months ago, and she hasn't even watched it!!!! She is obsessed by Twilight!

Anyone watch Hustle here?

Twilight???
I just don't get Twilight though I know it's hugely popular. What is the appeal, can anyone explain? I've never even been tempted to buy one of the books and I am an voracious reader, will read labels on sauce bottles if short of the printed word.

That's how I learned French, off the HP bottle...

No, I don't get Twilight either, and I can't explain the appeal. I can't bear the idea of reading the books - one I day I may watch one of the movies (I believe there have been several, and possibly more to come). I would read them if.....

O M G - PEACHES!!!!!!!!!!!!

....

Well, anyway...

As I was saying...

Well...

I would read the Twilight books if my daughter was older and wanted to read them herself, but I see no reason to do so otherwise.

He is just so...

TBH I fancy the movies even less. But I don't get to see a lot of movies, I guess if I did I might be more inclined to have a look.

Yes, you should watch them - they are a cultural phenomenon I suppose.

It all just seems like a Buffy rip off to me though - I was a big Buffy fan, back in the day....

I liked Buffy too, loved the high school atmosphere, loved the way she kicked ass. And Angel was quite cute. Or did you prefer Spike?

I liked Angel...I think I like them tall, dark and handsome...

Spike is cute, I follow someone on Twitter who has a picture of Spike as their avatar - he's very naughty..
