You're right, it's not like you can get that effort back... so, here, have a 5 - as long as you promise not to get _this_ thread deleted! :laugh:

Pete, I already knew that we'd walked many of the same streets from some of your previous posts, but dammit man I've got tears rolling down me bloody face now coz I've been thinking about the same daft get even more these last few days an' all. I've still got his AON business card on me desk, the last email he sent us in me inbox and I still know his mam's phone number from 30 years ago off by heart... I miss him man. Thanks for taking the time to let the other CPians know about him and for the chance to salute him too.

The hospital has apologized to both families and will be paying for new dentures
New teeth for whom?! :omg: If they're for the bloke who lost his teeth, why are they bothering to dig up the dead bloke? If not, are they really going to get a new set of dentures made up for a recently exhumed corpse?
Cheers,
Wilber.

J'y suis déjà! I moved from the UK four years ago, just got sick of all the cack... been struggling financially ever since - it turns out the start of a worldwide economic meltdown isn't the best time to set up a company in a new land! - but the quality of life is superb and more than outweighs the skintness :-D

The worst in France was a 6.8 not far from where I live
Where's that then? Looking at the map you linked to, there doesn't seem to be much activity in Picardie, which is where I live, but I'd be interested to know all the same...

Long, long ago, when I worked in the Finance dept of a district council in the NE of the UK, we had a Dick Hunt - which is okay as far as it goes - but it was his brother Warwick, who lived in the same village, who really made sending rates reminders out fun!

Gave my brother in law the dvd set for xmas a couple of years back (it must have been around 2005 - I've been in France for 4 years this year!) and spent one of the best christmas days ever watching them one after the other... I remember that episode and you're right, the writing's top-notch. But the acting... I'd have listened to the pair of them reading the phone book... I was all the more astonished the first time I heard Barker talking in his "real" voice - a very middle class English chap stylee - he really "became" Fletch... a timeless classic :) If the dvds hadn't been shrink wrapped I'd have knocked off a quick copy before I handed them over ;)

For me personally the greatest sit-com ever was Porridge. Wonderfully written and beautifully played.
+5 for that! I'm not much one for picking the greatest of anything, but I agree that Porridge is truly one of the all-time great sit-coms. "With these bad feet...?!" Marvellous :-D
