The West Wing: Trivia, Questions (Here Be Spoilers)

[Fiderer]

Also admiration and swooning. If you haven't watched all 7 seasons, read no further!

Two Cathedrals - have watched it several times and only just realised last night that Mrs Landingham was driving back to the WH as Bartlet wanted to tell her about the MS.

I love the scenes with young Mrs L and Jed.

Why "two" cathedrals though?

Sorry! Assumed you were English.

Most of the PR stuff is in museums now but there are bits and pieces in old, wealthy New England homes. Bartlett having one of the knives is entirely appropriate!

It's not v obv is it?

Wasn't it tribpot who worried about Charlie not being able to insure the knife?

Was she? I missed that!

No West Wing for me today. My son is home on Tuesdays so the only TV I'll see is CBeeBies and Roary the Racing Car on DVD!

I have to go to work (prob better than Cbeebies et al. I did my time with that lot - shudder- though I did love Pingu) so shall leave you with:

Bartlet "Unless a war breaks out, I'll be spending much of my day talking about bananas.

Sam "Godspeed to you, sir."

Anyone else watching the news notice what day it is?

It's Super Tuesday!

Thanks to TWW I actually know what that means

Cavemum That was my thought this morning too!

Is it super Tuesday? What a crap American I am, I had no idea!

::off to read news sites::

Imagine if it were Santos vs Russell on Super Tuesday? We'd fry the MN server with our exit poll analyses and predictions and fevered calculations

There should have been more Bernard....

From 'NOEL'

"C.J., your necklace is a monument to bourgeois taste."

"It was on loan from the Musee d'Orsay to the National Gallery. The President,
on a visit to the gallery, and possessing even less taste in fine art than you have in accessories, announced that he liked the painting. The French government offered it as a gift to the White House. I suppose in retribution for EuroDisney. So here it hangs, like a gym sock on a shower rod."

"I suppose in retribution for EuroDisney" I know some criticize the "eccentric Brit typecasting" of Lord John Marbury and Bernard but I think they're great.

Bernard also says, "Rose, in what I assume was a clerical error, was promoted."

What is the drink CJ wants to drink in peace?

Is that in the same ep, Tiny?

No, it was in the episode I was watching last night . If it helps she was talking to Toby and eating peanut butter crackers at the time.

Doctor Pepper - though not convinced that's a CJ drink. And I believe it was diet DrP. May be wrong, but still.
CJ should drink Martinis, made with gin

OMGoodness! I thought that would be a difficult question. You are 100% correct, Diet Dr. Pepper.

Her alcholic drink of choice is of course a ........?

Don't know what CJ's choice would be, my choice would be a Martini.

The Dr Pepper I only got because I saw that episode again recently and I always think (nerdy) "Bloody Hell, Dr Pepper and barbecued chicken, yuck!"

Ooooh, am addicted to diet dr pepper, v happy to be like CJ!

Tiny - what is CJ's choice of alcoholic drink? They don't have Dr Pepper here (back of beyond in forrin land) and dd was v disappointed. I told her CJ drinks it and she was as she associates pepper with the peppercorns that make their fiery way into her meals sometimes (must buy new pepper mill) and is now even more

Worryingly, the calm "OK, Mum, if you say so" accompanied by the reassuring hand squeeze don't bode well for my sunset years.

CJ drinks a Grasshopper (don't actually have a clue what this is)

Nosey moo that I am, where is the back of beyond in forrin land?

In WW parlance, not too far away from where Donna was sent after being blown up in Gaza. I see the planes sometimes and when the transport planes start flying over 5 times a day, as Bruno put it - I buy canned goods.

The Zoe bar episode, good one Grasshopper doesn't sound v appetising, does it? Minty gloop.

Ainsley like Fresca

What is Fresca? Will not google as here Someone Will Know.

It's like 7Up or Sprite. Lemony Limey clearish soda.

Not as a drink certainly. Nigella does a grasshopper cheesecake thing, that I am dying to make. www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/nigella-lawson/grasshopper-pie-recipe/index.html

Lemony Limey drink sounds great, esp chilled. A grasshopper cheesecake sounds as appetising as this
