UK "funny"! I was being serious! g Tiscali, the ISP used by Shane, has its head office in Cagliari, Sardinia. The one part of my reply that is probably false, is that it is run my the mafia since I was under the impression that the mafia are to a degree reasonably competent at what they do whereas those who run Tiscali, at least in the UK, are probably some of the most incompetent individuals around. Where the mafia comes in is that Tiscali provide little more capacity to their users than one would get if one was to use string to connect users to their system. Similarly they hate to see their customers leave. My first ADSL connection was with a company (WorldOnline) that was taken over by Tiscali. I left them in 2003 only in 2005 to receive an invoice for two years service, two years during which I had been with another ISP to whose equipment my line was physically connected thus a physical impossibility that I had been with Tiscali. Tiscali denied this and continued to claim ever increasing sums for a further 15 months until eventually I sent them a letter stating that I was going to start legal proceedings against them at which point they decided to give up on me and turn instead on their latest victim, Shane. :-) Cheers, Mike Heather wrote: ROFL!!! I am not to bright until noon so started to read this as a serious reply to a slightly deranged Shane.......until I hit the word *string*.......bwa ha ha. Mike, you are so *UK funny*.....lol.

I didn't watch Angel or Buffy Kelly did though and she was the one that got
me into Bones, never watched ER either g We're into series 9 at the moment with CSI: Crime Scene Investigation but of course I didn't start watching it until a few months ago and I can forgive Gil for leaving as he's joined up with Sarah studying her monkeys g I enjoy watching them as they're programs that actually show you how things can be worked out and solved through science. -- Joan Archer http://www.freewebs.com/crossstitcher http://lachsoft.com/photogallery "Shane" wrote in message ... Don't care for Bones. 'Angel' is typecast as far as I'm concerned, and I only liked Buffy for Sarah Michelle Gellar anyway (so didn't watch it religiously). I kind of like NCIS because Mark Harmon is always good, but also I sort of like the Israeli bit, and funny old Pauly Pellet or whatever her name is (the only soap I was ever interested in - apart from 'Soap', that is - was 'Flamingo Road' which, naturally, got dropped after 2 seasons. Morgan Fairchild was 'interesting'). But NCIS seems a little too gung-ho. Crime Scene Investigation is the only one of the CSI franchise I like. Never could get into the New York one and the Miami one just makes me cringe! But the William Peterson one has been generally high quality (though I can't watch when her from Chancer and House of Elliot is in it playing an American. I can't suspend my disbelief when she's on, so I don't watch those episodes). When Warwick was shot I was so surprised I looked it up online as it would have been too unbelievable for him to be shot in the head at close range and back on the job in a week or two. Well, Gary Dourdan is a bit of a lad, isn't he. A bit of a boy. But then Jorja Fox leaves (slowly) and now Peterson has, almost as though there were some disillusion arisen. Or it just made them think and they realised it's time to get out if they don't want to be typecast? I keep missing the current series. I've seen three episodes so far! Even though they're shown so many times, I've missed the first one, which is presumably the resolution of the Warwick murder, I've missed the 2nd part of the Miniture Killer (as I believe it was called) though seen the one where Grissom goes to see her in chokey and talks at her trial. A long time ago I lost track of which season I was watching. I'm glad I don't have Sky anymore, as it eliminates about half the channels showing it! But I did see Peterson bowing out. I can *just* watch Jorja Fox and not see her as a surgeon in a Chicago hospital. I stopped watching ER a couple of seasons back, but I'm sure the one they brought in to replace her was also an ER doctor? Guess I stopped watching ER when Kristen Johnston from 3rd Rock turned up in it. |

Careful, Joan!
the science in CSI is OK as far as it goes...... but the timescales are totally of-the-wall. a 'proper' gene match can take days (not the 'while-you-wait' service that the program implies), if not weeks! A lot of the other stuff has a fair amount of poetic license applied as well to speed up the story - although they do stick to the realms of the possible while ignoring the time-spans involved (and the pressures of other work). No forensics team can afford to spend the amount of time they do on-scene (and none does the amount of off-scene investigation) that they do. -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk "Joan Archer" wrote in message ...

Oh I know that Noel, gbut as far as the workings go to me it's fascinating
to see how things can be worked out from a particular scenario. And I do understand that what we see in an hour would probably take months of work if not longer to come to a conclusion and there is also the chance that it couldn't be solved g I still like watching it though and I know you do g -- Joan Archer http://www.freewebs.com/crossstitcher http://lachsoft.com/photogallery "Noel Paton" wrote in message ...

I have been *glossing* over these posts cuz I hate those dumb CSI shows
and others like them, grin. When I was taking jewellery lessons 2 years ago, one of the instructors was a rather young *forensic pathologist* and I asked her how come they could solve some huge serial killer set of crimes in less than 1 hour, when the real cops couldn't. She howled!! And said sarcastically, "I would be lucky to get blood test results back in 3 weeks or so, let alone DNA. But I watch them just the same, for the sheer idiocy".....lol I only watch maybe 2 shows.......and Medium is one, naturally. Rather well done, actually. Heather "Joan Archer" wrote in message ...
