Hi there AA!! You're back!!
Notable Marvel... are you sure that you speak English?? I thought it was more of an American drawl... but I could be wrong
shazzPRME

The word 'English' is probably not the best term here then.
'English' also noticably changes depending on what part of England you are from, if my endless addiction to 'The Bill' will testify.

Hehehehe! The Bill eh?!
shazzPRME

Bill?...Ain't that whut the guvment passes?

NM

I don't know! I haven't checked the contents of their lava(tories) lately! ROFL

I don't think I've ever heard of that certain bodily function being referred to as a bill...but in the case of the US congress, I suppose it's a fairly good discription!LOL

NM

Hmmmm! I was referring to the *passing* action actually! In England we don't use impolite terms (!) for that natural bodily function... we *pass* water and *pass* excrement!!( medically known as ~stools~... I have no idea why!~ ) LOL
shazzPRME

ahem - thanks for sharing
NM - 'The Bill' is a cop show from England - sometimes very good, sometimes not so. It's main advantage over it's American counterparts is that, for the most part, it's a pretty good attempt at realism in a police drama.
Just keeping you up to speed.

Now that NM has the wonderful new-fangled invention called cable/satellite TV... I am sure that he will look out for it
I always thought that NYPD Blue was fairly realistic though... am I wrong in that assumption?
shazzPRME

I'll keep an eye out for the show. I don't recal hearing it mentioned on BBC/America, but then there are quite a few that you get which we don't.

NYPD Blue got quite a bit of praise from several police departments around the US for it's realism, as a matter of fact. Never got to watch it much.....never been a big TV watcher.

NM

If you only have the beeb NM, I don't think that you will see the Bill then! It was an ITV show!!
shazzPRME

All we get is BBC......and not all of that! Yall's stuff is better than ours!

NM

my dear NM, the grass only seems greener on the other side, in reality it is full of dirt and worms
AA

Goodness! What a wise AA you are!
shazzPRME

He-hw!......yeah, I guess our folks did give us Star Trek, Buffy and Sliders. It ain't all bad!

NM

Yeah, and lookat what programs Australia has given the world. Ummmm..... ahhhhh.... errrrr....

Cumon' Wowbagger! There's got to be one! A director, writer......At least you give good subjects!(Crocodile Dundee.......2 was better!)

Should I mention the latest craze(and crazy man) on American TV?...."The Crocodile Hunter"? He's one of yours and absolutely insane!!!!!

I can't remember his real name, but he and his wife run a zoo and spend a goodly bit of air time playing with as dangerous an animal as they can find! It's highly entertaining, but I project he'll have a short lifetspan!

NM

Yes I know all about THAT fellow, but I was trying to think of something of quality.
My lovely wife would point out the soaps - Neighbours, Home and Away and the like, but she watches Aussie soaps for the same reasons that I watch B-Grade sci-fi. LOL

What about Hercules ( ) and Zena?! Or are those NZ?!
