Airwolf, Murder She Wrote.
Yes I am bored stuck at home.
Diagnosis murder would have been better if he actually said 'Diagnosis Murder' in each episode after examining the body.
Also homes under the hammer needs new opening credits.

The Kids show "Round the Twist." from early 90s if anyone remembers that. It was a crap show but the theme tune still randomly pops up in my head :-/
Fall Guy - never liked the show, movie is also terribleQuote:

We have to add Rhubarb & Custard, which was both psychedelic and cool..Quote:

Both were bang into the Ket.
So both their kids ended up being bang into psychedelics - going to SF for the acid or India for the K.
It is hard to overlook the fact that almost all of your stories involve Ketamine :-)Quote:

Off to Calicut on Monday. Any suggestions? I believe I have a day off on the Friday,
Go to Kozhikode Beach. About 2 clicks from the centre of town, lots of nice seafood.Quote:

PS if you do go to the beach, post a photo. Oh, and find out how much they're charging for lobsters now.
About 20 years ago in Anjuna/Chapora in Goa {the two cheapest beaches} we could get lobsters for a fiver each. I'd order the day before {cos it would mostly be off season when I was there} and give them a bottle of Chablis I'd brought out so they could put it in the fridge for me, and arrange to come at 7pm the next day.
But when a decade ago I asked my goan mate with a restaurant, Jaocinto, how much it would cost for a lobster, they were saying £30 or more. {When he sold great seafood like calamari, pomfret or king fish, in lemon butter or garlic sauce with chips for around £2.50-£3.50}
See whether Calicut off season is even better.
Last time I was in Kerala, at Kovalam beach {and Varkala beach} normal prawns were £6 and giant ones were a tenner a plate but were sublime.
If you're gonna seafood it up on your day off, get a bottle of French white at duty free on the way out, and when you find a restaurant with seafood you want, get them to chill the bottle while you enjoy the beach for a couple of hours.
If they do fish or crab soup, get a bowl as a starter.
Though be aware that it'll probably be monsooning while you're there. But it's lush swimming in the warm Indian ocean when it's monsooning.
Cheers
Greatest comedy ever and greatest theme song ever.
FACT!
