MissLingoss The Riddle of the Sands, Erskine Childers?

MrStarkIDontFeelSoGood · 22/07/2018 20:11

arranfan I think it was S3 but I'm not positive could be as early as S1

kikisparks · 22/07/2018 20:17

@mipmipmip ah I see! Haha that makes more sense Blush

MissLingoss · 22/07/2018 21:10

scaryteacher, yes, Riddle of the Sands.

(Anyone who likes Arthur Ransome would probably like it. It's out of copyright, so should be free online somewhere.)

Me and my daughter get on a plane but she goes missing mid flight. My husband has just passed away, none of the flight attendants have any recollection of my daughter ever being on board.

100 points for however gets this

(Theatre)

I am the illegitimate son of a Scottish man and a Caribbean mother who then died. After I made the papers locally, people fundraised for me to be educated abroad.

My political standpoint led me to become involved in the civil war there. I married advantageously and made the right friends, which led me to become someone with great standing and an influential voice

Unfortunately I squandered this when I was first blackmailed over, and then voluntarily publicised, my indiscreet affair

I have always loved my wife but loved my sister in law slightly more, but now they are both mad at me and my career is in ruins

AIBU?

After my mother died, I was collected and due to be delivered to my father. The courier had other plans and decided to raise me himself, along with his team. As an adult, I gathered my own team - an angry weapons expert, a strongman of few words, a father determined to revenge the death of his wife and child, and an exotic beauty who's strength and brains outstripped us all. Together, we work to protect those who need us.

I have answered my own one - the old woman of Norfolk is Salt by Jeremy Page.

Me and my boyfriend are at a loose end this summer but have just been offered a job together. I'm not sure whether we should accept or is it a bit dodgy? This woman who owns a boat wants us to live on the boat with her and allow her to draw and paint us. She's even said a tv crew will want to film us. She said she loves our up-cycling ethos to clothes (we tend to wear whatever rags we pick up off the bedroom floor in the morning Blush) and have a look about us "the kids'll love). She seems perfectly respectable but it seems a bit of an unusual arrangement? The boat is pretty cramped too, not sure there's actually the space for the 3 of us. She says we don't have to do anything, she'll even do all the driving/steering.

Book, Film

This is a story of revenge. A foreign spy came to my country and killed my sister. She seems to be trying to get in with the authorities and she’s gathered a rag tag group of supporters on her mission to now get back to her own country. I have sent all my employees after her but the word is that she’s coming for me.

TV
I am at a career crossroads. In the last few years I have seen one colleague jailed for murder, one murdered and another one find out for sure that his missing wife and one daughter are dead. He has found his other missing daughter so that's good.
My family are dead, my P's were toxic, and DM and DS both killed themselves.
Where do I go from here? I'm definitely leaving my current job career and thinking of going back to science which I was studying for a while?
Any ideas about my future direction?

kikisparks · 23/07/2018 08:59

I lied, it’s not really about revenge and she’s not really her sister I just want the powerful weapon the spy has taken.

kikisparks · 23/07/2018 08:59

Not really my sister even*

Film
DH wants us to spend the winter caretaking a remote hotel. He says it will give him the chance to write, and be a great opportunity for our DS. I think it sounds a little too isolated, and I worry that DH has a tendency to cut himself off too much which is not great for his MH. What should I do?

5LeafClover · 23/07/2018 09:41

Lettice , you should reinforce the bathroom door as soon as you arrive or ( even better) hide the axe.
