Outside the people started shouting hip-hooray

I have just finished the first series of Foyle's War (2002—), which I started watching on gaudior's recommendation and which is exactly as excellent as she claimed. I had heard of the show, but I had not realized its protagonist was played by Michael Kitchen, who so impressed me as the diabolical Martin in Brimstone and Treacle (1976). He's quite good here, too.

My poem "Apotropaism" has been nominated for the 2010 Dwarf Stars Award.

BFI Screenonline's highlights this week include Eric Portman: "A uniquely intense actor who created complex, troubled characters like A Canterbury Tale's 'glue man', he was a surprising 1940s box-office draw." I approve of this, since mostly I see him appreciated online by that one person who vids his movies to Kate Bush on YouTube.

I don't know why it is that I should go around the house singing "Surabaya-Johnny" and "I'm Henry the Eighth, I Am" when I'm happy, but there you go.

Congratulations on the nomination! I'm glad you're enjoying the show.

I don't know, either, but I'm very pleased to infer that you've been doing this.

I'm glad you've found Foyle's war. 6th season (the truly last one) just came out in June. I'm also glad to see you discovered Gogol Bordello on your own as well. Been meaning to suggest them for some time now. Hoping I can manage to see them in Belfast in Nov...
