I eat OXO cubes for a living... Not dead yet!

Servant to two German Shepherd Dogs. Enjoys travel, history (WW2, WW1, medieval, Scandinavian historical fiction, such as the Shardlake series) and food. Well, cooking it, at least.

Yeah, Canada is a big filming location for that gravy train of crap Hallmark peddles. Cheaper, better locations and probably more friendly labour practices.
That said, there's many a Law & Order episode of the "country" rube coming to the big city and being victimised... :)

She asked if I am going to sew (I don’t as well she knows) and I said “no, I am (re-)watching All Quiet On The Western Front”” :)

Had to google it, but yes, Blake's 7 was great to my very dim recollection.

Wow, such memories. I have a deep 6-Yorkshire Pudding tin I should deploy for this very purpose. Just need to obtain some mincemeat and make pastry.

The Japanese whiskies have been rock solid although I've not found one that compares to Talisker.

A bit like Steve Martin's Penis Creme. Comes in a plain brown package marked "not penis creme".
