(0515) Morning all … seems much cooler at this stage, not a well cat just now chez higham, hope to be back together by maybe 0700. Trusting you got through the heat all right. (0630) In better nick now, still warmish though one more day. (0647)
5. Govt more than beyond the pale
4. Yet Abbott is facilitating the whole thing
3. Lines of defence
2. DAD at 1424
a) German army only recruits 530 people after asking 300,000. While the response rate from men was high at 96 per cent, the actual conversion rate into voluntary service has been extremely low….
b) Germany: AfD ban debated – again. A report produced by an NGO claiming to be a protector of fundamental freedoms has revived plans to get rid of Germany’s main opposition party, suggesting it is ‘unconstitutional.’….
c) Spain’s PM Sánchez defies any political logic known in Western democracies. No leader could even attempt to cling to power while completely surrounded by serious judicial investigation….
d) (JH: An upload, not sure what about.)
e) Is it time to defund the BBC ?
1. The Vigilant Fox
This is returning to the Marple series sent by IYE
Now, sorry to present it in this messy way, first post for the day, but yes, it will be necessary for you to click HERE to access it. Ta to IYE. It was working minutes ago when I checked.
Cunning plan is not necessarily to watch right now but rather as and when you are ready. Ditto with the Madison Affair posted later … way too long for one sitting, so it is also as and when.
On top of that, we do have a Brett-Holmes in the wings, plus an old detective mystery, American, and one British. So we’re not film and radio skint this weekend at least.
On the other hand, the usual short doc offerings are poor at this moment. The one at around 0800 is ok but that’s that for now. Shall need to find sommit other.
(1717) Evening all. Temp going down a degree an hour.
18. “Teachers” have much to answer for today
17. The overweening contempt from the political class
16. A tad puzzled
This afternoon, I was about to get some more politics together but saw various Paul Temple episodes, deleted one … Intervenes … the first, not very good … saw on the list:
|https://unherdablecats.com/2026/06/22/paul-temple-1938-to-2013/
… some excellent Coke-Westburies, e.g. The Geneva Affair … but then saw Madison, we’ve already run it, saw it was Logan-Stevenson and … well, I started listening, didn’t I. Yes, and it was one excellent episode, to the point I could not get away.
Realised that it was Gerda Stevenson who was the glue, yet vulnerable too, not an I Can Do Anything type who, quite frankly, is a bore. Yet GS turns more stories towards the solution than anyone. Brave too. Yes yes, it’s fiction … and yet … and yet. These episodes from 2006 to 13 have some je ne sais quoi. Why? Why? What do they have?
Anyway, nuff of that, back to the grindstone.
There was a good Brett Holmes, another a British thriller of yore, plus this below, which apparently had much audience currency at the time, though only 1:07 long.
(1100) Elevenses (wonder how I worked that out)? (1117)
15. Donny states the obvious
14. They can’t stop, can they
… the officious, power hungry nobodies?
13. RINOs infest that swamp
12. Gravitas
11. Epidemic
