Not sure where to start with this post … I’m concentrating on the Hugh Beaumont era from 1946 and there are some very interesting tidbits … for example, the secretary/gf was his own wife in the third of five episodes.
… and this is the one I maybe like best, mainly because his “Phyllis”, to my mind, was the best gal of the three to play her, there seems chemistry here, plus it’s a weird plot, plus the title is a mystery in itself …
“Hugh Beaumont as Mike Shayne is about to take a vacation with Cheryl Walker. His plans are interrupted when the corpse of a woman turns up in his office and her stepfather hires him to investigate; when the police try to confirm it, he denies it.
I didn’t expect much from this PRC production, certainly not when the screenwriter is named Raymond L. Schrock — which I read off the screen as “Raymond Schlock” — but it’s a nice, twisty little mystery that winds up in a drying-out farm for diposmaniacs; Beaumont is pretty good as the glib Shayne.
Shayne’s creator was Brett Halliday, nee Davis Dresser, and he came up with Shayne as a marketing scheme. There were stories, novels, movies, radio shows, and even a long-running mystery magazine that paid royalties for using the Mike Shayne name. Halliday died in 1977, aged 72.”
Personally, I really like the Beaumont Shayne … there were only five episodes 1946/7, then everyone went their separate ways, a tale in itself.
(1010) That’s brek over, only sheets to drip dry, other washing is up, inc. kitchen, bth’room and me, so warm in this place but the air is poisoned. Even ten mins with window open … straight to throat, coughing from the exact spot as in Jan 2020. There are ways around it and am taking them. (1138)
10. Be careful with modern day plod
… Dixons of Dock Green they ain’t.
9. Moo corner
It’s possible we’ve had this one before … I need to re-Moo again.
6. Not only Steve but Unherdables systems in general.
I reiterate … our gentlemen, taken as a dangerous bunch, are supplying top intel just now but don’t forget Toods who analyses and discusses over in Bama, then sends to-the-point comments, sometimes critical. Plus our other chaps and chapess who fill in the gaps. This is what “tabling” is all about … not in the least looking for traffic unless someone cares to quote us … it’s for people who “wish to know”, shorn of the guff. End of. Plus your own blogrounds you do, plus some MSM thrown in, avec jaundiced eye.
I’m obviously going to support this method, aren’t I?
It takes time … Steve warned me last evening in comments, it took me till an hour now ago to finish exploring … yep, the item which he had posted about five times was in trash:
(0708) Awoke a few minutes ago, long sleep, let’s get going. The honour of first to break the news, at least at Unherdables, is Steve last night plus DAD. IYE is mentioned below. (0830) Big washing, cleaning and cooking day this morning, plus trying to get this post written. (0852) We need a break after this, I need brek, shall run the Eiffel Tower episode of Holmes … a lot of fun. (0857)
5. Iceland v Waitrose
Indeed, Allison … think I might start buying Iceland again, at least for some things … their thin pizza bases used to be nice.
4. Let’s throw Lord Toby in here at this point
May I also suggest ZeroHedge as another to read … both urls in blogrolls.
3. Steve at 1346, plus some from here
US Unleashes Precision Strikes on Iran’s Critical Kharg Island
Israel Obliterates Eight More Bridges in Crushing Blow to Iranian Terror (JH: Note the language in the Gateway articles … “obliterates”, “crushing” … that’s both total war talk and Israeli talk … Gateway is pure Israeli, in the same way Southfront is pure Russian. Not an issue, many things are tabled by us here, but please be aware of sources, the nature of. For example, anything out of Whitehall is pure Malsi.)
Iranian IRGC Declares ‘Restraint is Over,’ Threatens to Obliterate US-Linked Infrastructure and Starve World of Oil for Years (JH: Back to the Gulf War, eh? “Precision strikes” et al. GHWB’s New World Order, yeah yeah.)
Intense Strikes Hit Iranian Rail And Kharg Island As Trump’s Deadline Nears End (JH: Southfront, this one … the Russians.)
The Energy Bomb: How Brussels And Kyiv Are Trying To Sabotage Hungary’s Election (JH: Natch.)
Bombshell paper on COVID batch data from Germany shows clearly the vaccines were not safe

Much more.
2. May I suggest
… after this blurb in these opening paragraphs … go to 1346 and read our three chaps … then go back to 1346:1:Haifa (IYE) and read it through … properly … thus you need to allocate time after your initial blogrounds. No doubt you’ve already seen the news of the two week ceasefire.
May I suggest, after that, you read 1346:2:IMEC … both those topics have a significant bearing on events and decisions leading to those events.
Now Donny hisself … 80ish, securing his and his family’s place in history, plus his family’s ongoing prosperity. He can only achieve that, even with crypto, only if the economy is stable and the dollar strong (quickly back to 1346:1&2). Plus Donny is preparing Barron, whom I think, personally, is one of two aC candidates, looking at a mixed Christian eschatology.
Again, with Donny … he wants to be remembered as the Peacemaker, Prosperity Bringer, better than Clinton but as Ike himself found … he’s not just up against Demonrats and Big and Little Satan, he’s up against the spawn of that … the M.I.C. Ike spoke of … plus the middle-east variants … Malsi, Noiz Naino Lybab.
Sorry, western reader, you can not discount those things … for the simple reason that none of those parties discount them … they are fanatically devoted to them, just as passive Christians are hardnuts inside about the Trinity. Plus Donny, with his own family agenda, is up against the implacable … hence his frustration and bad language. All those parties are playing for keeps and they’re plotting the downfall of Big Satan. Again … 1346:1&2.
Then throw in China and Russia, I dia. Look at the massed, legal takeover of western countries by kali fanats. Have a lovely Wednesday …/END.
1. DAD at 1346
a) Trump declares two-week ceasefire with Iran and claims Strait of Hormuz will re-open as Tehran submits 10-point peace plan to end the war.
Iran’s 10-point plan, published by state-run Tasnim news agency, demands the US accept Tehran’s continued control over the Strait, recognize its right to uranium enrichment, lift all sanctions, pay compensation and withdraw all troops from the region.
[Negotiations in Pakiland. A brilliant move, or a disaster?]
b) Morlaix (29): Clara, an 18-year-old mother, was killed (50 injuries on her body) by her partner, a Cameroonian man almost twice her age.
c) Several electrical installations were targeted by acts of sabotage in the Cher department on Tuesday, April 7, causing power outages and significant material damage.
d) “English supporters”: Liverpool FC, who play against PSG tomorrow, are urging their fans to avoid Gare du Nord, Pigalle and Châtelet and warning them that pickpockets are “a serious problem in Paris and operate in gangs”.
This is disgusting. Did you know this about cheese?

It’s an utter disgrace by globopsycho, criminal woke fabian communists, using the most useless women in order to get the internal conflagration going. It’s a direct challenge to all which is decent in the society, let alone being rank treason.
It’s personal for Veteran Sam Bamford who goes ballistic over the arrest of decorated war hero Ben Roberts- Smith.
He describes the horror of losing 3 mates shot by Taliban soldiers who had infiltrated the Afghan army working along side the AFD.
Bizarre thing how our generation, the Fairport part of it, chose to look hippy in England but there you go. Meanwhile, their powers of observation were commendable … that shot of those two from that generation before … so accurate, so respectably casual – her, so dressed down – him, with the slacks and jumper, no tie on business shirt.
Could have been my parents … it’s the parents who do my head in. I look back at ourselves then and think … well yes, all very nice and didn’t we have fun, eh? Sitting here with a cuppa and custard creams … we’re the oldies now. Just how long ago was their youth? War years? Just after?
My parents’ first tele … we knew a television repair man down the road. Mate and I, must have been holiday time, parents out, we called that TV man’s daughter … did she want to come and visit my place? Yes, on her way. Never got there … dad had heard the conversation … so we went and explored a new building site, with our string walkie-talkies.
Oh my goodness … getting senile here? Maybe but it was not my past of interest … it was theirs, our parents … that was where the real history had been made.
