Plenty of episodes there, just scroll down … in this episode, Templar is to meet the daughter of his friend at an al fresco cafe table by the river … he’s called away by a faux call … the rest follows. Not sure but the villain sounds as if it’s an Englishman pretending to be Australian*.
* Maurice Colbourne (1939-1989) was the villain, born in Sheffield, died at 49. Kidnapped girl was Cathryn Harrison (London 1959-2018), died at 59. Girl gondolier was Carole André, no relation to Annette (Paris 1953, still alive), the Saint (Woking 1943, still alive). Episode was in 1978.

Names have been mooted … Alina Habba, Kari Lake, Kayleigh McEnany … interesting that no males have been mentioned yet … how about General Flynn? McGregor?
13. Item 13 should perhaps be religious or whatever
I know I said I’d not write on Welby … hmmmm, what about his replacement then? Actually, I was looking for blondes for Friday lunchtime (found some fab femmes by the way) and found this:
12. ZeroHedge, quoted on Gab
Here’s another one you can add to the left’s ever-growing list of ‘do as I say, not as I do’.
A senior COP29 official in Azerbaijan reportedly used his role as heading up the fight on climate change…to secure meetings with potential investors in the country’s oil and gas sectors.
Energy production drives 60% of Azerbaijan’s economy. Elnur Soltanov, Azerbaijan’s deputy energy minister and COP29 chief, was covertly recorded discussing investment opportunities in the state-owned SOCAR, according to PJ Media.
“SOCAR Trading is trading oil and gas all over the world, including in Asia. To me, these are the possibilities to explore. But in any case this is something that you need to be talking to SOCAR, and I would be happy to create a contact between yourself and them,” he was caught on tape saying.
He added: “We have a lot of gas fields that are to be developed.”
11. “Oilman” on Gab
Former Trump Senior Advisor Steve Bannon recommends that General and former Joint Chiefs Mark Milley be court martialed on Day 1 of the Trump presidency.
Milley contacted an enemy of the United States in China and told them he would give them a heads up on any Trump order that Milley didn’t agree with.
Milley also tried to organize a group of leaders within the Trump administration to not carry out orders that President Trump gave at the time.
10. DAD drops at 876
a) Yesterday I reported how a man had thrown concrete block on the heads of men sleeping in the streets in Lyon and Rotterdam … arrested on a train this evening in Toulon. The man allegedly committed violence against a woman on a train in Toulon … Cameroonian nationality. Due to the lack of identity papers, his real identity is currently being verified.
b) M. le Maire at Bordeaux changes his mind. He will arm the Police. The announcement was made two years before the municipal elections, assuming a U-turn in a “worsened” security context. Criticized by the opposition and challenged by the agents’ unions who demanded armament, the elected ecologist said he made this decision in the face of “crimes and offenses (which) have increased sharply” in the Bordeaux metropolis.
c) How Could a Labour Party Advisor Not Have Heard About the Batley Grammar School Teacher Still in Hiding After Showing His Students a Cartoon of Muhammed Three Years Ago?
d) Alina Habba, and friends, are enjoying themselves.

MftWC 1: British doctor asks on LinkedIn what autopsies of vaccinated people might reveal; His post is flagged as “hateful speech
There are two aspects which hit me … one is the woeful state of the kit … the second being how little they care about ordinary folk … totally out of touch, not unlike Starmer and Westminster as a whole.
“Merseyrail passengers have slammed an “absolute farce” from the operator after a notice was issued at 9pm on Monday evening warning of major changes to timetables the following morning.
The notice stated that the network’s New Brighton and Headbolt Lane lines would be operating a reduced timetable today (Tuesday November 12). It was explained that the sudden changes were down to an increased number of the operator’s new fleet of trains undergoing maintenance.”
Same old same old … various blacks we like, e.g. music reactors, those on X … but corporations, for profit and Woke cred, ignoring home grown talent … no way. So Boots is off my list altogether.

17. Housekeeping
Further refining this housekeeping v some sort of op ed thing (in my own mind), a better distinction is housekeeping is within these walls … ss of oped is outside there in the big, bad world.
This is housekeeping. If I have the slightest lurgy coming down, first hit is throat, second is the “phone ear”, then the rest follows. Only solution is hoody on, hood up, into bed (where I’m typing this at you from) … and having the luxury to do that is a boon … liquid, good food … st some stage get up and do jobs, get the bod active, back to bed. That usually kills it in 24 hrs.
Give you an idea of brain fade … I saw the Sterling post and the autumn leaves in the sidebar … groan, thought I’d posted it at UHC. Slowly realised I hadn’t. That level of malfunctioning brain ain’t good. However, there are some screenshots to post.
DAD, I’m beyond finding baroque music for now. Once recovered.
