The Who Dun-It .......,Mystery

[Nevada Rose]

I have always loved a good Who Dun-It mystery....,Agatha Christie knew how to throw one together.

But, since we have no real investigators, no cops,.....,

this mystery has finally come to bore me.

No one likes their name impersonated and used for foul, vile speech......,

but alas, those who were targets, still stand vertical.

It's when we go horizontal that I think we should start worrying.

I always loved Agatha Christie. Her Ten Litlle Indians thing is classic mystery...plus Murder on The Orient Express; Murder on The Nile. I've always loved Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes too...he was always so distant and logical. Any time I'm trying to solve a mystery I try to pattern myself after him.LOL

Yeah, Ten Little Indians was my favorite, but I loved all her mysteries. I love Sherlock also, I love mystery and suspense.

I think it was Barbara Cartland that was kin to Di. She wrote those steamy Elizabethian Romance Novels. I'm not sure whether I ever read any but I remember the covers.LOL

I think you are right. I knew she was a famous author.

An all time favorite with any Basil Rathbone fan. Have you ever seen the BBC series? I can't think of the actor's name, Jeremy something I think. He is great in the role.

Sorry I didn't notice where you are from colin. My guess is that you have heard of the BBC.(:-o)

I noticed. Maybe you can tell me something about the television tax or whatever it is called. I've always wondered how much it is. Is it considered a tax or what?

It is a license fee. You need to pay it if you own any piece of equipment capable of receiving a television signal.

I don't know how much they cost because I have not had a TV for many years.

Probably about $250 at a guess.

Jeremy Brett I believe. However he died in 1995 according to Wikipedia.

Thanks Colin I'll check it out. I've always wondered about how it worked. Public Television here is just constant pleas for funding even though they already recieve quite a bit of Goverment(Taxpayers) money.
