A long, long time ago now, well before Midsomer Murders, a young John Nettles had this series and this opening episode:
It’s an excellent establishing episode, brings in the key first series characters, is a good episode on its own merits, and introduces Jersey to the viewer.
As some viewers have seen by now, those films done here in this format generally reward us.

The stealing of an 18 year old blog…
… after previous attempts by GglBlgr, stealing older posts and all the rest of it …
Nourishing Obscurity 20th birthday today (would have been)
Some might recall …
The blog was vulnerable, including its “Guestposts” separate blog … when Unherdables finally went up on September 7th, 2024, it was a more professional set up, though I know quite a few do miss the amateur fun vee had.
Despite being more professional in its engine room, it’s still being hit by about 20 spam an hour but that’s covered inside. All and all, it’s worked out so far, except for the commenting woes but chaps and chapesses … for such a naughty blog complex … with its history … well, that’s only to be expected and thx for your perseverance. đ„°
The short version:
The long version:
There’s quite a history behind this girl:
Her mother was groomed, threw in her lot with one of the chief baddies, JJD still drags her beloved mom around for her cause and mom, bemused, not a true believer, goes along with daughter dear. Similar to Lydia Taylor Davis on abortion.
At this age, girls get very active. They either go Woke and start throwing soup at old paintings, gluing their hands to roads etc. …
… or they miraculously wake up and are then a fierce force for good, forever.
This topic today, of course, is the older vehicles versus thevnew, controlling, remotely cibtrolled EVs many don’tvwant, esp. the Zoomers.
And one more thing, between ourselves … if we do not get behind the right thinking, “having woken up” lasses and lads, plus at the same time we’re trying to change society back … then WTH are we doing? Tying our hands behind our backs after donning the blindfolds? Zoomers and Alphas are the future … so let’s join with them in getting it right.
(0650) Morning all, more gloomy, poisonous skies but other than that … all right. |https://unherdablecats.com/page-for-july/ Heading over now, over coffee, to OoL and Jstack with a climate item. (0717)
5. These sorts of lasses, not unlike WW2 codebreakers
… are, imho, vital to the war effort … they can get under guards, where we’re seen coming.
4. Who is this guy?
He’s Elon’s head of product and the one controlling the X algorithm. I can’t comment on blue tick dissident accounts (antiWoke) but those bluetickers are reporting not good things on their accounts. I decided, with mine, to take less product, more security.

2. Going to run this over and over
… one of the Unherdables canon about life and politics:
1. DAD at 1449
a) A French modelling scout accused of helping Jeffrey Epstein recruit and abuse young women and children has been found dead at his home outside Paris, prosecutors said Wednesday….
c) Hungaryâs autocratic drift is happening now. In the span of two highly productive weeks, PĂ©ter Magyar, the darling of the self-proclaimed virtuous camp, managed to force out the countryâs legitimate president after harassing him from the moment of his election victory; prevent half of the opposition from running in the 2030 parliamentary elections; remove four Constitutional Court judges from office….
d) A Canadian husband is sounding the alarm after the countryâs government-run healthcare system tried to euthanise his wife instead of saving her life, forcing the couple to flee to the United StatesâŠâŠ
