  • Wallander.

    I've just finished watching the first episode of 'Wallander', the new Sunday night cop show and I must say it holds promise. For those not up to speed on TV progs let me describe it to you.

     Imagine if you will a cross between Columbo and Frost, bring them into C21 and add a little gore. What you then have, in your melting pot, is an enigmatic policeman with all the doubts and problems of  a Sweedish Rebus.

    Wallander is played by Kenneth Brannagh who thankfully eschews all 'loveyness' and tries, with some sucess, to get into character.
     Time will tell, of course, but it bodes well for future episodes.

    For those of you who missed the first episode, it is on BBCi player and Kenny appears never to shave at all.

  • WHITE!!!! I think not.

    I've just noticed that my cheapo White Amarylis, (Hippeastrum really), bought from messrs ALDI has a distinct tinge to its flowering spike.

    I can only assume that the boys in Ireland who packaged the bulbs had been refused a pay rise and were getting their own back on the company.

    The real pisser is that assuming this plant to produce white flowers, I bought red, pink tinged, and the one known as 'Apple Blossom'. No white.
