Lettuce We have BLTs here too, Roger. In the UK, bacon means pretty much the same as in the US. In Ireland it can also mean boiled back bacon in dishes like bacon and cabbage. Ten years ago, most people here would have thought of the latter kind if you said bacon (the type you get in BLTs etc. was known as rashers), but nowadays bacon means both (probably helped by the menus of international fast food outlets!).

I've just been reading through Jimmie's obituary on jamesbest.com. It contains some lovely tributes from Burt Reynolds, Dukes co-stars Tom Wopat, John Schneider, Sonny Shroyer, Rick Hurst and Ben Jones, and Dukes stuntman Corey Eubanks.

Very sad news. Thanks for letting us know, Meadowmufn.

These cute commercials for Haribo Starmix originally came out last year, but they both seem to be getting shown again at the moment.

chart Living in Ireland, I sometimes get to eat an Irish Shepherd's Pie - but only when he's not looking .

Shepherd Bavarian Motor Works is the correct English translation of Bayerische Motoren Werke (see Wikipedia). In English, BMW's headquarters are in Munich, Bavaria (München, Bayern in German). The Bavaria Beer name was only adopted in 1923 when three brothers of the fifth generation of Swinkels took over leadership and moved production to a larger brewery in Lieshout. The name refers to the type of beer - it's a pale lager which is brewed using techniques developed by brewers in Bavaria, Germany.

Before this week's race at Martinsville, I thought I should post the results from last week's Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. I only saw the last few laps, and I assumed Garrett would post a review. Maybe those last laps were too upsetting for Garrett as Jeff Gordon stayed out to take the lead after a caution on lap 198 (of a scheduled 200). With the extra laps (there were 209 in the end), and the green-white-checkered finish, Gordon slipped back to finish 10th, the position he'd been in before the caution. The race was won by Brad Keselowski. Here's the full result. 1 Brad Keselowski 2 Kevin Harvick 3 Kurt Busch 4 Paul Menard 5 Ryan Newman 6 Dale Earnhardt Jr 7 Joey Logano 8 Martin Truex Jr 9 Jimmie Johnson 10 Jeff Gordon 11 Aric Almirola 12 Justin Allgaier 13 Carl Edwards 14 Tony Stewart 15 Ricky Stenhouse Jr 16 Austin Dillon 17 Kasey Kahne 18 David Ragan 19 Danica Patrick 20 Chris Buescher 21 Jamie McMurray 22 Brett Moffitt 23 Casey Mears 24 Cole Whitt 25 Landon Cassill 26 Kyle Larson 27 Brian Scott 28 Denny Hamlin 29 Trevor Bayne 30 Clint Bowyer 31 Matt Kenseth 32 Greg Biffle 33 Alex Bowman 34 AJ Allmendinger 35 David Gilliland 36 Josh Wise 37 J.J. Yeley 38 Michael Annett 39 Jeb Burton 40 Mike Bliss 41 Brendan Gaughan 42 Matt DiBenedetto 43 Sam Hornish Jr I won't confuse things by posting the whole line-up for today's race, but here's the top five: 1 Joey Logano 2 Ryan Newman 3 Martin Truex Jr 4 Jeff Gordon 5 Jimmie Johnson

flower (I assume Daisy was your word) After my reply, it did occur to me that "mote" is nearly the same as "motte" as in a motte and bailey castle, but Roger would have trouble putting 'gators in a defensive mound! I guess we have more castles over here than you guys. Or even by the Beaudrys .

found The correct spelling is moat - a defensive ditch, usually filled with water, that surrounds a castle.

Of course, Boss only realized he was the boys' probation officer in 'People's Choice' (S02E11), and by the end of the episode the job was taken by Thelma Claire "T.C." Rogers. It was a strange plotline considering that Ms Rogers was never heard of again.

Hi tripflicky, welcome to HNet. Sorry I missed your post - it must have been stuck in moderation. You're not the first person to ask this question, in fact there was a blog post titled Will “Enos†Series Be Next for DVD? on this very site back in 2011. Like you, I've never seen an episode of 'Enos' - I don't think it was ever shown in the UK. There are a few stills from the show in Roth's Rare and Behind the Scenes Pictures thread, and YouTube has the intro (below), but I'm sure you've seen these already. For anyone who wants to see the episode list, you can find it at imdb.com. I've even tried to find episodes at some of the less legal sites, but still no luck. At least we have all of Dukes available on DVD, they've only just released season 3 of 'CHiPs' on DVD (and so far only in region 1 ) when season 2 came out in 2008. Maybe there's still hope.

Welcome to HNet, airsmitty. I hope you can dig out those pictures and share them here .

I always liked 'Mason Dixon's Girls', although I can't remember why .

Paul Menard was the driver in 12th.

It's been a while since I had a chance to watch all the episodes (over a year!), but I always start at the beginning and go through them in order. There are obviously episodes I like better than others, but I never skip. I'll confess that I've seen some episodes more than others, but that's because I've dug out the DVD to get a screengrab or check a detail, and ended up watching the whole episode/disc. There is a strange exception - the last addition to my Dukes DVD collection was the cartoon series, and I've never watched the last disc. I must remedy this oversight .

While reading Garrett's link about the qualifying debacle, I spotted a sidebar story about Travis Kvapil's Sprint Cup car being stolen from outisde the Georgia hotel where the team were staying - more info here. Then I saw the follow-up story which said that the car had been found without a scratch. The team are taking the car back to their headquarters to check it over before next week's race in Las Vegas, but they'll miss this week's race. A line in the second article caught my eye: The race car was found “dumped†on Lenora Road in Loganville, Ga., about 45 miles northeast of Morrow and due east of Atlanta. Now there's a name that rings a bell. Type "Lenora Road, Loganville, Ga" into Google Maps and you'll end up about 200 yards down the road from where the original Duke Farm once stood. So we're looking for an unknown number of suspects with a possible NASCAR connection, and they're probably known to the local sheriff .

It works for me now.
