The mid Atlantic's pretty cold and wet this time of the year too .

Way to sell it MaryAnne .

I'll trade you for the cold, wet, windy weather that we have at the moment .

Since when was "mañana" assimilated into the Irish language? In case the American members aren't familiar with A4-sized paper, it's a similar size to "letter". So you got marked on quantity, not quality . Only kidding, well done on your achievement.

Roger, out of curiosity I dug out 'The Law and Jesse Duke' because I couldn't remember where the phone number was mentioned. Did you base your last question on the sign at the warehouse where Bo and Luke were taken?: I think the number is actually 555-4309 because it appears to be the same sign that was on the side of Rhuebottom's earlier in the season (I remembered it from the Hazzard Square thread): Incidentally, a little later in 'The Law and Jesse Duke' the boys drive into a removal truck. The sign outside the house is for "Hazzard Realty", and also lists J.D. Hogg as the contact, although this time the number is different. I've enlarged and sharpened it and I think it says 555-2133. Maybe Boss has different numbers for his commercial and residential property businesses.

Just to lighten the tone slightly; thanks for the lesson in vexillology - it would make a great episode of . I think you guys should go back to the Grand Union Flag (aka. Continental Colors, the Congress Flag etc.) - there's something about the canton in that one that I like .

Crazy (I know, his mother had him tested )

They're more orange than yellow, but Cooter had them on all of his tow trucks (although only the yellow one had a lightbar):

They're a lot less varied in the UK and Ireland: Blue: Police, fire, ambulance Green: Doctor Amber: Tow trucks, garbage trucks, wide vehicles, slow vehicles etc.

I know my comment was facetious, but the underlying point is valid. It's not just about spelling; US English and British English also use different words and idioms. While (and I was going to start the sentence with "Whilst", but apparently that's British English) I would be happy to proofread British English, I'm not sure that I'm the right person to proofread US English. Regardless, my offer still stands.

*Did you do well in school? *feedback *proofreader *run-on I fit most of the criteria if you don't get any better offers. Just remember, I speak proper English, not that colonial variation you speak in your parts .

Hi Jerry, glad to have you along.

It is very obvious. I've had this screengrab lying around for a while.

I spotted a couple of errors in 'Farewell, Hazzard' the other day. The first is when Bo goes to check out the field where they saw the helicopter. As he arrives the General is missing its license plate, yet moments later it's back (see inset) even though Bo just walked around the front of the car: Later on the helicopter tries to run them off the road again. The fake helicopter skids in the studio shots have larger black areas on them. Also, that's definitely not Bo driving in the first picture.

I can't stay away from the '80s for long : The song was written by Tim Rice and ABBA members Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. It's also great for a .

Would you believe that I have five different versions of that song, but not the one you chose!. I'll add a bit more spice to the pot : Vindaloo - Fat Les A great sing-a-long track (although you probably have to be a supporter of the England soccer team ). The song was written by Blur's bassist Alex James and comedian Keith Allen for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. The video, which is a great parody of (it was even filmed on the same street), includes British comedians Paul Kaye, Rowland Rivron and Little Britain's Matt Lucas and David Walliams as well as artist Damian Hirst and Tenpole Tudor vocalist Edward Tudor-Pole.

"Horse" songs is it?. How about this one from Dublin band The Thrills?:

Welcome to HNet. CDoherty and myself are close neighbors (or as we say, neighbours) of yours over in Ireland.

There's still a few "Crazy" songs out there, like this one: They don't write 'em like that anymore .

I laughed when I saw the disclaimer "Professional driver on a closed course. Do not attempt." appear at the bottom of the screen. Then it made me sad that it was necessary.

Just to clear up what we've been discussing privately, and add a few more details, here's a summary: The episode is 'Close Call for Daisy' in season 6 and the other notebook belonged to "Nervous" Norman Willis. The Reverend is called "Reverend" at least twice in dialog, but not given a name. The credits just say "the PASTOR". The name J.P. Frawley comes from the sign outside the church: This screengrab actually comes from a few episodes earlier, but can be seen at the end of the scene where the notebooks get swapped. The Reverend/Pastor was played by Joe Mays who sadly passed away just 10 years later at the age of 45.

The top ten line up is: 1 AJ Allmendinger 2 Kevin Harvick 3 Joey Logano 4 Denny Hamlin 5 Mark Martin 6 Martin Truex Jr. 7 Dale Earnhardt Jr. 8 Clint Bowyer 9 Kasey Kahne 10 Sam Hornish Jr. Jimmie Johnson is 15th, Jeff Gordon is 20th, Tony Stewart is 23rd and David Ragan is 27th - I hope that covers most of this thread's regular poster's favorites .

Season 5 starts with a dearth of patrol cars. Aside from the odd appearance of Sheriff Little, most of the bad guys in the Coy and Vance episodes get taken away by Hazzard's own police at the end of an episode. For that reason I've included the following two pictures. The sharp-eyed amongst you will notice that these are not strictly cars (the lack of enough wheels was what gave it away to me!). This motorcycle is seen briefly in 'The New Dukes' as it escorts the armored car which gets attacked by the Mean Green Machine. It seems to have a plain white gas tank, and the rider's badges are never seen clear enough to read. After some Googling I think it's a 1978 Kawasaki KZ 1000 Police, but I really don't know much about bikes, so stand to be corrected. Two more bikes here, this time from 'Coy vs. Vance'. They look very similar to the one above, although the windshields are different, the orange lights are different sizes and the one above doesn't have mirrors. This time some badges are visible. The 6-pointed star on the gas tank (see inset) is similar to the Hazzard badges and says "COUNTY" across the top, although I can't make out the lower text. By contrast, the uniform badges definitely say "CITY POLICE" (see other inset). For some unknown reason the typeface used for the word "POLICE" on the windshields is different on each bike. Now back to 4-wheeled vehicles, and back to an episode that ends with the bad guy getting taken away by non-Hazzard police. On this occasion it's Joel in 'Welcome Back, Bo 'n' Luke'. The State Police car has the same badge as the one that appeared in 'Baa, Baa White Sheep' (second picture), although that was a black and white 1977/78 Monaco and this is a blue and white 1975/76 Fury with spotlights on the A-pillars. This one also has an all red lightbar instead of the more usual blue and red combination. This green and white 1975/76 Fury shows up in 'Big Brothers, Duke'. The 7-pointed badge on the door says it belongs to Capitol City Police, but it looks to me like one of Sheriff Little's cars with the 'fangs' removed.

I agree with BL - CJ Holmes presented "Dixie" to Daisy at the end of the episode (although it mysteriously appeared two episodes earlier in 'Arrest Jesse Duke').

Thanks Mufn, that's a nice mellow track. Here's one with a similar-sounding title, but it's very different: Streetband was an early outing for vocalist Paul Young. This novelty song was originally a B-side (remember them? ) until a DJ picked it up and started playing it.
