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.

Season 4 seemed to show a few visible phone numbers. I don't remember seeing Cooter's number, but here are three from other threads. In 'Coltrane vs Duke', the old Hazzard Hotel has a "For Lease" sign with the number 555-2359 (it's advertised as a light manufacturing property). In 'The Great Bank Robbery', the "For Lease" number for J D Hogg is 555-4309. In 'The Law and Jesse Duke', J D Hogg's "Hazzard Realty" number is 555-2133.

I guess it would look like this:

Welcome to HNet, pkoorse. That quote is from 'One Armed Bandits'. Burt Reynolds also get mentioned in the dialog of a couple of other episodes. In 'Repo Men', as Luke is driving the Rolls Royce away, Cooter asks him, "What do you think Burt Reynolds would do at a time like this?" Luke replies, "I ain't sure, but I know he'd be doing it with somebody a lot prettier than you." This is probably a reference to Burt's Smokey and the Bandit co-star, Sally Field. In 'The Dukes in Hollywood', Boss tries to pitch the idea of 'The J.D. Hogg Story' where he wants the lead to be played by Robert Redford and Rosco wants to be played by Burt Reynolds. Ironically, Burt Reynolds ending up playing Boss Hogg in the the 2005 Dukes movie. As another tie-in, between the first and second Smokey and the Bandit movies, Burt Reynold filmed another movie with Sally Field called 'Hooper' which also starred Jimmie Best as Cully. It's a fun movie about an aging stuntman whose position is challenged when a younger man comes along. Like the first two Smokey and the Bandit movies, and the first two Cannonball Run movies, it was directed by Hal Needham. There's even a brief scene filmed on Midwest Street which you can see in the Hazzard Square thread (third and fourth pictures of the post).

I've just watched a video of Kyle Busch's crash. The infield wall that he hit was quite a long way from the track, but there still should have been something to soften the impact. Racing in lower formulae used to be common for Formula 1 drivers in the early days (double World Champion and Indy 500 winner Jim Clark was killed in Formula Two race in 1968), but nowadays the drivers stick to the main series. NASCAR are in a tricky position with Kurt Busch, and would probably be criticized whatever they did. There aren't many jobs where you'd be suspended while allegations of this nature were investigated, but driving NASCAR isn't a normal job. Because the alleged crime has nothing directly to do with NASCAR, I'd prefer it if Kurt Busch was found guilty of something before he was suspended.

Would a white Lamborghini Countach that turns red be OK if Catherine Bach was in the passenger seat?

Just be aware of Boss's anti-drugs stance. In 'Mason Dixon's Girls' he says, "And even I draw the line on dope and drugs ... for any amount of money."

Sometimes they didn't try too hard . I think this screengrab is from 'High Octane'.
