Gardai (the police) are still waiting to question a man admitted to hospital a couple of days ago with what might be self-inflicted wounds. Another man was arrested and questioned soon after the attack, but despite Gardai releasing him and saying he's no longer a suspect, he was named on social media and had to go into hiding!

The incident may have brought people together, but it's not going to lead to unification. Brexit has added extra complications to the trade relationships between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and also between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.

Despite Boss having a driver since 'One Armed Bandits', this is the first time he's named.

Shortly after this line, Boss is standing in front of a sign advertising the "Hazzard County Fair Mon Oct 30 - Sat Nov 11". Those days/dates line up to a 1978 calendar, nearly a year before this episode aired, but I suppose that makes more sense than setting it a couple of weeks in the future.

Yesterday afternoon, along with some friends, I attended a vigil for a young teacher, 23-year-old Ashling Murphy, who was murdered last week.  Her death seems to have united not only Ireland, but also Irish communities around the world, with vigils being held in far away places such as New York. It was a moving occasion with a short circular walk led by local politicians and council members followed by a couple of brief speeches and a song from a local choir. Luckily, we had a beautiful, crisp winter's day with hardly a cloud in the sky. I haven't seen any official figures for attendance, but I'd says that a few hundred people turned up.

Skipper, you seem to have missed a few lines and combined two scenes.

The first scene is when Carrie is changing out of her wedding dress:

Bandit: Last time I saw legs like that they had a message tied to 'em.
Carrie: What do you mean? These are great little legs. I'm a professional.
Bandit: Well, in that case, you shouldn't be dressed in white.
Carrie: Dancer.
Bandit: Oh. Well, cowboys love fat calves.
Carrie: They're not fat.
Bandit: They're bigger than mine.
Carrie: Do we really wanna talk about legs?
Bandit: Well, one of us does.

The second scene is about 30 minutes later, just after Carrie meets Snowman.

Carrie: You know, I was on Broadway once.
Bandit: Really?
Carrie: For almost 12 minutes.
Bandit: Oh.
Carrie: The show closed the first night.

Thanks for asking, Roger. The incision scars have nearly healed and the shoulder pain finally seems to have gone. I guess that means that the worst is over.

I finished 9 days of isolation yesterday. I got a positive antigen test on New Year's Day and so did a friend who I was with the day before. Unfortunately, probably partly due to the holidays, it took just over a week to get a PCR test (my friend somehow got theirs a couple of days earlier). The negative result came back last night, so I've finally started 2022 a week late! The most annoying thing is that halfway through last week the brand of antigen test that gave me a positive result was withdrawn from shops amid reports of false positives. In the end, I probably never had Covid, but you can't be too careful.

I don't think they know yet. The article I read said "The sheriff’s office confirmed that no cause of death had been determined, saying in a statement there were no signs of foul play or drug use."

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

In the UK they generally use a procedure called TPAC (Tactical Pursuit And Containment) where the police cars surround the target vehicle and then gradually slow down.
I used to see foxes regularly when I lived in London, even sometimes during the day. I can't remember seeing any in Ireland.

Tractor

Lamborghini had a successful tractor business when he bought two Ferraris (circa early '60s). Soon afterwards he went back to Ferrari to suggest improvements, and was basically told to get lost, so he decided to build his own sports cars. I occasionally see new Lamborghini tractors, but they're far from the most popular make over here.

dry
(as in Canada Dry soft drinks)
There's a story about Irish poet, writer, novelist and heavy drinker Brendan Behan's visit to Canada. He was apparently asked by a reporter "What brings you to Canada, Mr Behan?" To which Behan is supposed to have replied "Well now, I was in a bar in Dublin and it had one of those coasters, and it said "Drink Canada Dry", so I thought I'd give it a shot."

Dark
To illustrate the point, here's a sign from the Anglo-Irish sitcom 'Father Ted'.

BTW, the exterior shots of the Batcave in the 60s series were filmed in Bronson Canyon in Griffith Park, not far from the Hollywood sign. I was reading about the canyon just a few days ago, and found claims that Dukes episode 'Hazzard Connection' was also filmed there. I'll have to watch it again to work out exact locations.

pants
Hot pants are not a million miles away from Daisy Dukes. Here's Jo Ann Pflug (aka. Helen Hogan from 'Route 7-11') to illustrate my reply .
