I always think of you when this comes on 

 

I did feel like I could have been in a scene from Lewis tonight ... well, if a body had floated past me down the Thames that is!!

 

Or the Isis - if you are a pureist!

 

I've never been Rexi, but it looks lovely 

 

and now they have mentioned Carlisle...I bet he's the murderer  

I've only been to Oxford on one occasion, it seemed like a v nice City, somewhere I could possibly consider living. I hate big busy Cities, the likes of Oxford, Cambridge, York, Norwich, Salisbury etc. are more my cuppa tea. Why anyone would, for e.g. go on holiday in New York is completely beyond me

 

ION, my birth surname is Lewis! 

I love it here Supes ...it's been my home city all my life, so I've loved it, hated it, been bored with it, and finally realised ... I love it

 Indian take aways?!

There are far worse places to live!

We are lucky when we live in beautiful parts of the world

My thought for the day: if you were a bird, why would you go somewhere really shit and polluted rather than somewhere nice with loads of fresh air

didn't take to morse at all but lewis - started watching again

OMG machel

 

How could you not take to Morse? He was soooo lovely

 

edit to say ... if you walk past St Aldates Police Station, look up, they have real life cut-outs of Morse and Lewis in an upstairs window.

 

Life imitating art ... or wishful thinking?

Wow - is that typical of Oxford?

i wanna live there!!!

i like a lot of detectives , barnaby (both) frost, poirot and i liked john thaw in the sweeney but as morse?  sorry just could not get along with him (views of oxford are nice though)

I love detective/mystery series, most of which have been mentioned above. Have visited Oxford and loved it, if anyone gets the opportunity it's well worth the visit   oh and so is Cambridge ...don't want to start a Uni war lol

What a risk! But I'm a risk taker. Thanks for not spoiling Lewis since we watched the first half and then t'apprentice. As Rexi knows we visit Oxford a couple of times a year, our friends live on the Botley Road and we eat at the same Greek establishment as the Lewis forensic lady. It never seems as violent as portrayed mind.

I was never a big fan of Morse but it least it had Morse being a classic car, real ale bore while generally moaning at running down and bullying the hapless "LEWIS!".  Can't really get into plodding pot boilers like Lewis that seem to scream, "This must be quality, it lasts for hours!".  Kevin Whatley always strikes me as the Gary Lineker of actors (personality not professional ability).

There's no such thing as a real ale bore TB.

(entre nous, I can't access the footie thread on m'phone. How frustrating!)

I preferred the books, so was a bit at sea when Morse was first aired.

Couldn't get past the Jag (Morse had a Lancia originally), Lewis was a tall Welsh bloke - and a couple of years OLDER than Morse.  Various other details got changed but thankfully not the location.

 

I've got family living in Oxford and along the Thames at Wallingford too.

They often see the film crews for both Morse (and possibly Lewis) and Midsommer Murders.  It seems funny - dunno why, perhaps I'm easily amused? - to see signposts for Jericho, Woodstock etc when I go visit the rellies.

Well, if it's any help, the last post was me none too happy about the exclusion of Holty - Barry Butler Norwich City Player of the Season for 3 consecutive seasons!  Woy has shown no respect whatsoever to a City legend!

Well his time will come. I don't think anyone expects much and he has gone for a traditional safe pair of hands approach. I'm looking forward to the tournament.

Yer avin a laff mate arnt ye!?

Not as such, no.

Oooo get you  with yer posh Eastenders

Yes, and the traditional really awful tournament and the traditional Sun and Daily Star going mental in their crusade against the currant England managerial  incumbent.

Just out of interest..what are your thoughts about Danny Mills?

They've all got the Oxford burr too.  Or should I say Arrrrrrksfarrrrd.

Psst, supes.  Oxford is west

Mmmmm..what about the folk music real ale drinking bores?

Danny Mills? I suppose if Paul Scholes was mentioned then Danny deserves his chance.

Not for bloody me it isn't!

(I meant your roots!)

But, but.... they don't drink. 

They hug half a pint of some noxious looking liquid and moan if it costs them more than 50p...!  The 'music' is to distract from the taste

Madam I would rather spend eight hours drinking real ale with an Oxford Morris dancing side who also played folk music after the event, than one hour drinking fizzy alcohol preparations at the Riverside. I like real ale, me.

Not a lot!  Didn't really get the chances that his ability should have given him at Norwich but is on record for slagging the club off on quite a few occasions - even though he was brought through the youth ranks at Norwich (if I recall correctly) - so I've not got much time for him.   I'm biased of course.

He's a Narfalk buy GJ, and he writes in that there gruniad, so thought carnelian may have  an opinion

 

It's north west-ish for me

Everything's north as far as I'm concerned.

Oddly enough I was going to fill the footie thread with bits n bobs out of the Manchester paper. However, are u suggesting that Mr Mills is the secret footballer? There has been so much debate about it and I know that he has the intellect.

Ha Ha..as you know, I LUURVE that kinda music..well some of it

We've been moaning that it costs more than er three poonds.

Sir, I will look out for you and wave at the next Vin Garbutt gig!

I was born in Oxford and lived nearby (Kidlington), until I was 7.

 

Luckily, we moved before one of us was murdered.
