Well, yes, I can't help who my ancestors were, perhaps someone's upset ;-)

Oddly, Rollo has answered Maggies question in a roundabout way. By posting another unexplained link. This time to the French tv series Spirals which was shown on British tv.

I noticed that - all very well if you watched it!

Rather than answer directly, like a petulant teenager, he puts the answer elsewhere.
My response to such a teenager would be a slow handclap.

Edit: His 'You don't know the meaning of the title' was also a childish attempt to be 'elitist' - as though those of us who don't watch what he watches are inferior.

I watch quite a lot of the subtitled foreign programmes but really didn't fancy Spirals.

Well, any reference to any show on any British or French (or other country not on this continent) TV station goes right over my head because we so rarely get them over here.

So you can guess where that one went


and I guess it will make someone certain of my level of intelligence ;-) :-P

I was annoyed at the suggestion that no one would understand the Spirals connection, even more confusing when he put up a link to series 5.

It all reminded me a a walking tour of Lyons when some pompous chap kept on asking about war time Lyons and the Marquis. I apologised to the guide later and told her it was a shame that such an expert as him was not watchiing a tv series on the subject. The previous week the group had arrived in Lyons and we were about to meet the infamous Klaus Barbie.

namelessone ...............

I'm also reminded of some pompous people I'v come across in my life time.

I can't abide them, especially when I am told that I know nothing about something that I am very conversant about!
