Ah reet-o.... The thought didn't occur to me!
Other than the thread title, Rob didn't really indicate which programme he was referring to, and so when Dave replied to him first and mentioned soaps, I automatically presumed that the thread title had something to do with some obscurely named TV soap opera!!

Lol... It's another situation that highlights how our minds work (i.e. unprompted, "Aircool Pworough" simply appeared as gobbledygook to me), and also how easily things are misinterpreted on forums, fuelled by the limitations of the written word (i.e. whatever message is intended to be portrayed by the OP may at the time be obvious in his or her mind, but rather less 'obvious' to subsequent readers later....

T'is also fascinating how our tastes change over the years. For example, I hated Bergerac when I was younger and yet these days when I catch an episode I am gripped. That's the old retirement gene kicking in early. I'd need to be six foot under before I'd enjoy Poirot thoughDoes anyone remember Shoestring starring Trevor Eve? I love that show

I'm Martin.
When I first got cable in '95 they were repeating Shoestring which I'd not seen since the original broadcasts. It wasn't as good as I'd remembered. Great theme tune, though. As for your Bergerac problem, I'd go and see the vet. They can do wonders these days, you knowOriginally Posted by synsei
