I finished season 1 way back 10 years ago, but I never had the chance to watch all of season 2 or any of season 3.

It's such an artistic crime thriller that's really different to anything else. It's also a very pretty adaptation of the source material that even outshines Anthony Hopkins' portrayal.

[grits-galraisedinthesouth]

Revisiting information from Tom Bower's book Revenge and current events in the House of Windsor.

Misan Harriman: All Roads lead back, to Soho House & the person Rachel described as her "gay husband," Markus Anderson.

Anglo-Nigerian photographer, Misan Harriman, was instrumental in Meghan’s 2014 post-Trevor re-brand from Deal or No Deal Briefcase Girl to faux philanthropist/humanitarian.

Allegedly he's also gay, along with the other "boys" in MEgain's Soho House Circle. All in "contract" marriages with female "beards" like Rachel Meghan Markle. All liars.

According to Tom Bower's research (Revenge p. 63), Meghan was determined to use One Young World as her launching pad to celebrity philanthropy.

She was unknown to the OYW founders and event staff so she contacted Misan Harriman to ask for an introduction to his friend, tennis star, Boris Becker.

Becker was already scheduled to speak at the Dublin conference and Misan pitched the idea of Meghan's participation.

Becker referred Meghan to HIS AGENT, Gina Nelthorpe-Cowne.

If I remember correctly, in Gina's pre-wedding articles and interviews, she mentioned that Meghan contacted her office in 2014 to express an interest in helping with the OYW conference(s). I had no idea that Meghan and Misan were friendly while Meghan cohabitated with Celebrity Chef Cory.

MEgain did not choose Misan for her engagement photographs. Misan has only been in the photography business for five (5) years.

Soho House members, the York Sisters, invited Misan to capture the moment Edo proposed to Beatrice. (sigh & smh) SAME Eugenie who told the press, "we really like her..." when someone (OMIT & Jessica) gave Camilla Tominey permission to publicize their affair. Camilla repeatedly writes that William MUST forgive Sparry. Tominey cares nothing for the Wales family or the country. Her interests are rooted in greed and irresponsible reporting to sell papers.

Notice The Meghans began paying Misan during MEGXIT. He captured the stills and video footage for Megflix. He is also paid by Invictus. There's a lot of cash flowing into Misan's bank account via The Meghan and their archeficicial business ventures. IRS, where you at???? 🤔

I'm not sure why I included the following in my original 2022 post: "Allegedly, during Harry's 2 nights in Tornto (babysat by Jason Knauf), just before he flew to the US-FL IG, Meghan (while cohabitating w/Cory & just back from spending Mother's Day weekend w/Cory's parents) Meghan told Harry about her interest in helping him with the Invictus Games."

One thing that stands out to me is how much both Meghans lied during the engagement interview:

Sparry & MEgain admitted (on international television) that they were secretly dating for 5-6 months BEFORE Tominey received the story.

Do the math. If they met in July of 2016 and had 5-6 months together in secret, Camilla's article would have been published in December or January, not October/November.

Camilla's article was published at the time of their Toronto (soho house) Halloween party with Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank: October 2016 = only 3 dating months.

If they began dating during Sparry's Spring promotional visit to Toronto for Ingriftus, then YES--- they were "together" (like spooning bananas) for five (5) months before MEgain leaked the details to Tominey

Sparry is just as much of a compulsive liar as his wife. He lies about the unnecessary details:

"we had to announce your megnantcy for the tour because you were showing..."

"It's true, you did blend in-----‐until our farewell week..."

I have future content coming about Victoria Hervey and Dan Wootton's despicable behavior during kategate. At the moment I wish she would stop extending open invitations for Sparry "to come home," when he's repeatedly been clear that America is his home & America is where he feels safe.

In my opinion, Sparry and MEgain deserve to be married to one another FOREVER!! Initially I viewed Sparry as her victim but just because Sparry is mentally & emotionally unstable and intellectually "sub-educational" (as Lady C would say), does not excuse his character issues: lying, cheating, stealing, grifting to achieve fame and fortune in America. People all over the world with low IQs know the difference between right and wrong. There is no excuse for Sparry's crimes.

Royal Families cannot expect their people to look past bad behavior. Charles got what he wanted, "Camilla." Despite the good press she receives, the majority of the world sees Charles as spoiled and feckless. I do think he will be surprised to learn just how many Brits wish he & Camilla would just go on a permanent holiday.

In a world of meritocracy, we have watched Meghan Markle, Sparry, and Andrew get away with murder. Zero on the job consequences for bad behavior------>Out of touch with everyday people.

Andrew & Sparry have caused permanent damage to brand BRF. When Charles chooses tone deafness over humility and shame, they are begging the people for a Republic.

Normal people pay a price for their unwise decisions. Selfish Charles chose Jesus' resurrection day to rub Andrew into the faces of the British people and global royal watchers.

People won't take these moments of pure contempt for the will and opinions of the people and just let it all go due to cancer. Charles is still seen as a feckless king who will ultimately destroy this monarchy because it appears he cannot or will not manage his household.

Go to church Andrew & Fergie, but not in front of the cameras and not at the expense of the taxpayers. These are not difficult situations for Buckingham Palace. Does anyone have a working brain? It's as if Charles is deliberately destroying everything his mother & father worked so hard to preserve.

I agree @sassyfrassboss and don't get me started on Sarah's health related virtue signals. Why is it so difficult for Fergie to stop talking? And why won't Andrew go away and live out a solitary life? No one wants to shake hands with Epstein's pal. No charity wants to be represented by Epstein's pal. Consequences.

Andrew is reviled and despised because he refuses to accept responsibility for his unwise choices. He has no remorse for choosing "sleazy e & co" over his family and his country. It's not complicated.

I have drafts of future content about the York's. Surmise it to say, Andrew and Sarah are just not bright people. What's worse is they are selfish and refuse to step out of the limelight to give their daughters & grandkids a fresh start.

Unfortunately, like The Meghans, Eugenie was willing to exploit the identities of other people's children while concealing the face of her own child with stickers.

Ultimately Eugenie used the Jubilee to change course. She finally held up the child to show his face. Cute child. What's not cute is the elitist mindset that "blue blood makes us extra special."

After visiting Davos, Eugenie was quick to parrot her elitist, WEF talking points. There was no critical thinking about the issue(s) (like, "hmm, my husband wears glasses"), just a regurgitation of elitist talking points.

No one wants to see Andrew on Easter Sunday or for that matter at any other holiday. Seeing him jolly on parade is a slap in the face to all who had a deep affection for Queen Elizabeth's virtues and basic human decency. It's past time for him to retire from public life.

Rolling up to Easter service as though the York's are respectable members of society who serve Jesus Christ is absolutely shameful.

Not because of a liar named Virginia and her fake photo, but because of Andrew's REAL Central Park, NYC photos and the video footage of Andrew coming and going from Epstein's NYC home. Not to mention their big Epstein dinner with guests like Katie Couric, George Stephanopoulos and Woody Allen---- to name just a few.

Andrew used tax payer's money to travel in support of Jeffrey Epstein upon his release from prison.

A man who was convicted of sexually assaulting under age girls served about 12 months in prison and upon release he threw a NYC party for his royal pal Andrew! The Palace was "too honorable" to reply, "No thank you. Have a nice life." Andrew seems too self centered to concern himself with the commandments to "avoid even the appearance of evil" and to "honor" his mother & father's legacies.

Inspired by that ME comic that I can't find rn (please tag the author if you find them) my brother and I brainstormed which ME characters would fit best in the Mole Cold Open from B99 so here you have it:

Shepard: That's crazy, no one here's a mole.

Anderson: How can you be so sure

Shepard: Because I know these guys, I know everything about them

Anderson: You're a poor Commander if you don't think people can surprise you

Shepard: Not these people. Here, watch this I know what everyone is gonna do tonight. It's thursday, so Kasumi is gonna leave early to rehearse with her dance group, Dancy Reagan, they're the first ladies of movemente. Liara's gonna be going over her weekly budget. And Thane will be attending a "Pyjak for one" cooking class.

Thane: Tonight's menu "Sauce-Alon-I"

Shepard: And if I run and leap at Garrus he will most certainly catch me in his arms. Coming in!

Garrus: No, I'm holding coffee!

"You might be in a YA low fantasy book if you turn the corner to get to your locker and come upon a daemon. They contain everything odd about high school and literalize it with fantasy. Here is a must-read list of YA low fantasy books for genre lovers and novices alike.

Fantasy has a lot of sub-genres. Some are more well-defined than others, but on the broadest scale, there are high fantasy books and low fantasy books. Low fantasy books have fantastical elements in an otherwise normal world. You might be a witch working in a Starbucks who serves a cappuccino to a werewolf. The fact that you have magic may be well known. It could be a secret from others around you. As long as there is magic, abnormal beings, or paranormal somethings in the normal setting, it’s low fantasy."

Smiffina Episodes: Gun Runner Part 5 - Fire Fight (5/5)

Smithy finds himself being followed by a van with Tommy Rose inside. It speeds up, making him have to run to avoid being hit. He's unable to get away at a dead end and Tommy forces him inside at gunpoint to speak to Bob Gatting. Y'know, he'd have gone if Tommy had gotten out and spoke to him nicely too given he knows that the SE1 crew are stumping up the cash? Less fun though I guess (!)

Neil sums up what has happened so far for us uniform and CID in a briefing. Gatting and Cutler are planning to import high powered pistols and machine guns into Canley. The deal is going to go down sometime during the day and hopefully it means Smithy will be returning soon but it's up in the air until they know for certain.

(It's been a real Ultimate Force reunion lately on The Bill - we have Christopher Fox (Louie/Clive 😂) and Sam Callis (Patrick) as it is, but in Witness we got Danny Sapani (Ricky) and in Gun Runner we've had Louis Decosta Johnson (Dave) and now Miles Anderson (Dempsey) )

Wallace is speaking to his solicitor who is a known pain in the arse. The remand center is full so it's likely he's going to be given bail.

Smithy is delivered to the workshop. Gatting asks where Cutler is and Smithy tells him he has no idea. Gatting blames Smithy for George "Jay" Jacobs being held for being an accessory in Sean Seatton's murder after he'd planted the gun in Wallace's car (unknown to Gatting, Wallace and Cutler) so the police could get it back via legitimate means. Smithy says he was all set to dump it in the river but Kieran got caught with it and that it was just bad luck he got pulled over. "No, you screwed up!" Gatting shouts. "You're finished, I'm taking over this deal!" Wallace turns up having gotten bail. Gatting demands an explanation as he reckons someone tipped the police off. Wallace says it wasn't him and Smithy points out he never knew he existed. Wallace shouts Smithy put the gun in the glovebox and set him up. Smithy retaliates that Wallace has been shouting off about Jacobs and the gun to the wrong people and one of them must have informed on him. Rose remembers the conversation the day before when he returned the gun where Wallace got cocky about the gun being fired and Jay 'getting double tapped'. To save his life, cover and the case Smithy has to maintain it and shouts that Kieran does nothing but swagger around like the big I am and he's fed up of covering up for him. He claims Wallace is a liability and can't be part of the job if Gatting wants it to go smoothly.

Gatting agrees and has Rose march Wallace outside for a beating. Smithy feels bad and says he'll do it. He takes him outside, feigns Wallace kicking him and mutters to him to run. Kieran tries but he doesn't get away. He gets a beating as a horrified Smithy, Max and Terry are forced to watch. Smithy tries to stop it by telling Gatting that Kieran is Cutler's nephew. Gatting shrugs. "It's business not family." he replies, considering the matter wiped from the slate now and everyone even. He tells Smithy to arrange a meeting with Cutler to go over the deal. "That's a warning, son." he tells Wallace. "You cross me again and you're dead." He then turns to Smithy. "Now it's your turn in the ring." Smithy tenses but stands his ground. "Only joking!" he laughs, patting his shoulder. Phew! Max worries Smithy isn't ruthless and hopes he doesn't let what happened to Wallace get to him. As they go to drive off, Kieran shouts that Cutler won't stand for it and that Smithy knows it wasn't him. Smithy dispatches him quickly and tells him to go before they start round two.

Max tells Stevie that Smithy won't make their meeting at the house because he has to meet up with Cutler. He tells her to go to the pub meeting instead and to brief Smithy to smooth things over between Gatting and Cutler. Gina is worried that Smithy has been hurt after the mornings antics but Max reassures her he was only manhandled and that it's Wallace who took a beating. Neil reminds him Smithy's safety comes first and that if there's even the slightest hint of things going wrong he's to be pulled out immediately. Gina is clearly NOT happy about him remaining in as things stand.

Stevie speaks to Smithy before Cutler appears, reminding him that Cutler and Gatting need to be on good terms for the deal to happen. Cutler orders her to leave and she moves to the bar. Cutler orders Smithy outside, growling at him about Wallace having bruised ribs, broken fingers and cuts and bruises all over - his mum/Cutler's sister has been giving him earache about it. He blames Smithy for shafting Wallace and Smithy manages to brush it aside by telling him he has a bigger problem with Gatting threatening to take over the deal. After the beating Gatting considers it square so all he has to do is shake on it. Cutler would rather see the deal go tits up. Smithy advises him to paper over it until the jobs done and then have it out. Cutler agrees to but he won't let him think he can get away with it. Smithy updates Stevie and tells her that he's worried it's going to get nasty. Stevie looks over and sees Gatting look in their direction so she kisses Smithy. She sees Gatting walk off and continues the kiss for a while. Smithy asks her what was that and she says it was for cover and making it believable. "Wasn't that what you were doing...?" "... Yeah. Just putting on a show." They hold eye contact for a few seconds before Smithy clears his throat. "Got to go..."

Interpol advise Demitri is really called Osip Kolchek and he has form for human trafficking, drugs and prostitution. He's also suspected of murdering a man he double crossed on a huge drugs deal and Neil is worried he's about to do the same to Cutler.

Smithy tries to broker peace between Gatting and Cutler. Cutler tells Gatting he had no right to beat Wallace up. Smithy points out Gatting is just as much to blame because Rose tried to dump a murder weapon on them without a warning. Gatting admits he should have been told up front and SE1 should have gotten rid of the gun themselves. Gatting irons out the deal finances. Finally they shake hands. Cutler tells them that Demitri has shown him a photograph of the guns, Gatting scoffs and says he'll bring a picture of the cash then. Cutler insists it's all sorted and will happen that afternoon - as long as Gatting brings the payment. Gatting is wary of going to meet him with the cash as he doesn't trust him but Cutler claims it will all go well, Smithy's coming with him to check over the merchandise before they hand the cash over so there is their 'insurance' (yeah. cos they won't be armed outside of that will they (!!). Gatting agrees and snarkily reminds them both to check their brake lights so noone else gets pulled over by the police.

Stevie is flustered after letting herself into Smithy's to find him wearing a vest and unbuttoned jeans after freshening up to wake himself up. "Do you like how it looks?" he asks, fastening his jeans. Stevie almost blushes and watches him. Smithy realises and smirks. "The house!" They flirt in between Smithy unburdening about having had another gun pointed in his face that morning and how he had to drop Wallace in it to save himself and the case. Stevie reassures him he's bound to feel bad because he's a good man and he's on his own in the middle of bad on bad and that he's over identifying and looking for a friend and it's all normal. He tells her that Wallace reminds him a bit of him at that age and that he could have gone the same way if he hadn't joined the army. Stevie reminds him Laurence can feel guilty but Smithy himself has done nothing wrong. She then starts to massage Smithy's shoulders and he gets very confused, leading her upstairs [Heaton, Millie and Banksy's reactions as they watch are hilarious! "That's the bedroom isn't it?" "He's probably debriefing her, sir." Millie: *SNORT*] out the way of the CCTV where he asks her what's going on. Stevie tries to explain it as TLC for Laurence. "You're messing with my head." "Am I...?" she smiles. "Sorry...." Cutler arrives before they can kiss again. As he goes to leave she asks if there's anything else he needs. Smithy smirks and nods at his washing. "You couldn't er.... I haven't had a chance." Stevie rolls her eyes playfully. "Sorry Smithy, I'm just not that sort of girl." "Ah well, was worth a try." "Cheek." She smirks as she watches him go.

Max updates Neil that Smithy has left with Cutler and he in turn updates Gina that he's going to view the weapons. She tells him she'll get uniform ready and meet him in the yard but Neil tells her to keep the troops at the station as it will be 'simpler' and therefore safer.

As Stevie leaves Smithy's with his washing, Wallace appears and threatens her, demanding to know where Smithy is. She tells him that he's gone out and she doesn't know where. He tells her he's crippled because of Smithy and drags her round the side. Banksy orders a uniform unit to do a drive past. Wallace threatens he's going to kill Smithy when he sees him. She tells him Smithy had no chance and that he covered to save both their lives and that he's told Cutler to take him back. He asks her to swear that Smithy put a good word for him with Cutler. She tells him Smithy will get him back in and back on track. Wallace believes her, saying that he knows they were good friends before it and that's why he couldn't understand it. She tells him to go home and stay there and he'll get Smithy to call him. He looks thoughtful then leaves. Banksy cancels the drive past on seeing Stevie appear from the side of the house once Wallace had gone.

Smithy drives him and Cutler to a warehouse. Max and Neil are hiding in a nearby building. Rose and Gatting arrive and Demitri invites them all inside with Gatting ordering Rose to keep an eye out outside. Inside the warehouse Demitri shows them a Mach10, telling them there are no serial numbers, they are brand new and entirely untraceable. Smithy checks it over and tells both Gatting and Cutler that it appears exactly as described. Demitri offers him some bullets and he loads it, aiming it at a target on the far wall. Smithy fires it three times and destroys the target. Gatting gets cocky and offers £1200 instead of £1500. Smithy asks Gatting what he thinks he's doing and Cutler tells Demitri not to listen as Gatting is just joking and they will pay £1500. Demitri doesn't look overly impressed, asking to be shown the money and Gatting pulls out £1500. "What is this?!" Demitri glares. Cutler looks confused. "You agreed to bring the whole payment." Demitri loads the Mach10 again and points it at them as Smithy pleads with him to calm down and they'll get it sorted. He insists Gatting is only joking and that he has the deal as agreed. "I was just joking." Gatting shrugs, laughing. Smithy smooths it over and says they'll take that Mach10 and give him the cash there and then for that one. Gatting throws the money at Demitri's feet and Demitri throws the gun to Smithy. "We'll do the trade tonight. And this time, bring all the money..." Demitri warns.

Gatting and Cutler turn up at Smithy's unannounced. Cutler tells him that they're on and there'll be a blue box van at limeharbour dock at 6pm. Demitri will text him at 5.50pm, he's to phone Cutler when he gets the text and then go to the warehouse to meet Demitri and examine the goods. They'll be at the pub with the money. If he's happy, he's to call and they'll arrive with the payment. Stevie is also at the house and Gatting and Cutler growl at her to go make them some tea. When she does, Cutler tells Smithy to go to the workshop and get himself a gun as he'll need to be armed if he's going to be dealing with Demitri. He agrees and says he'll drop Stevie off on the way but Gatting insists that no, she's making them a cup of tea and they're going to stay to enjoy it and that Tommy will drop her off later.

As he leaves, Gatting tells Cutler they'll take Stevie with them to the pub as insurance. He doesn't trust him since Wallace got nicked. Stevie tries to refuse but Gatting makes it clear there was no offer. She's going. Thankfully Stevie is an experienced former SO10 undercover officer and Neil trusts her to do the best she can with the circumstances and calls a station briefing, telling them what has been agreed and that CO19 will be deployed at the warehouse. Once Smithy confirms the guns are there, CO19 will move in and make arrests with uniform. They will then move to the pub where Smithy will ring Cutler. As they leave the pub, CO19 will make the arrests with support from Sun Hill. Arun is placed to keep an eye on Stevie. They have half an hour until things should start to kick off.

Neil and Max see Demitri arrive. Demitri texts Smithy and Smithy gets a gun out and shows it to the CCTV in the workshop and tells them that Demitri has made contact. In doing so he has to move the Mach10 be on top of the safe whilst he gets it out. Unfortunately Wallace arrives and wants to have it out with Smithy. He claims Stevie lied to him about Smithy speaking to Cutler. Instead of going home like Stevie said, Kieran went to Cutler's where he was told to get lost. He says Smithy lies to everyone and is probably a grass. He rants about how he's not stupid and won't be pushed around and grabs the Mach10 from the top of the safe, pointing it at Smithy.

Terry and Heaton watch, urging Smithy to talk him down. Wallace rants about how it's Smithy's fault and how he stood there and watched whilst he was beaten. Heaton tells Neil what's happening. Max suggests they go in as Demitri is getting jumpy. Neil says the guns might not be there, he could be planning to double cross him or the guns might be at a different location so they have to wait.

Smithy tells Wallace that Cutler told him that he had to break his brake light, plant the gun and let him get caught, probably as he had a grudge against Jay. He tells him Cutler had threatened him with the same beating if he didn't and reminds him he'd tried to let him get away. "Cutler's pure evil, you know that!" He tries to get Wallace to give him the gun but Kieran now wants to kill Cutler. "He'll be at the Boat Arms where he always is, sipping his whiskey, laughing his bald head off! Well he won't be laughing much longer!" He points the gun at Smithy and orders him to open the door. With no choice, Smithy has to do so and Wallace leaves the warehouse to find his uncle. Smithy shouts to the CCTV that he needs an armed support and ambulance to meet him at The Boat Arms before Wallace walks into a packed pub with a machine gun. Terry tries to stop him but Smithy jumps into the car and he speeds off after Wallace.

Demitri is not happy at waiting and is getting jumpy. Neil tells Max that CO19 are needed at the pub as Wallace has gone after Cutler with a Mach10. Neil has no choice, he has to prioritise actual threat to life. He tells Max he should have had another unit standing by but Max assures him this couldn't have been predicted. He tells Neil that they'd still take 20 minutes to get to Smithy even with the blues and twos on and that there'll be an ARV on the way already. He insists they have to take down Demitri and cut the guns off at the source or lose everything. Neil tells CO19 to go in when ready. They take down Demitri's men but the man himself makes a run for it. Max leaps on him as he draws his gun and manages to arrest him. They check the back of the van and find the guns are all there! Max has a moment, remembering his colleague who CO19 lost to a Mach10, telling Neil he should have been there to see it.

There's a bit here that amuses me silly amounts when it really isn't that funny. Max realises the boxes in the back of the van are nailed shut so needs something to pry them open. He doesn't even finish his sentence before Leon The Mind Reader appears and hands him a hammer to pull the lid off with. It's not in the slightest bit funny, nor is it written as though it is but it just happens like Leon carries it round with him just incase someone might need it and leaps to it!

At the pub Cutler claims Smithy should have been in touch by now and he's also getting jumpy. Gatting tells him to stop worrying because it's getting on his nerves. Rose asks if the sirens he can hear are police but Stevie claims it's just an ambulance.

Smithy speeds alongside Wallace's car, trying to box him in. He manages to get in front but Wallace pulls the gun on him again and tells him to get in the car. Smithy tries to reason that he can't use the gun in a packed pub because it'd be carnage. Wallace doesn't care - as long as Cutler is dead. Smithy tries to encourage him to sort it out one to one not with the gun. Kieran points it at him again and tells him to back off. Smithy pulls the gun out of his belt. "I am an armed police officer. Put the gun down. Put the gun down, now!" Wallace realises it was Smithy all along and he lifts the gun. Smithy shouts at him not to do it and as he says he will, Smithy has to shoot him to protect his own life - with milliseconds to spare as Wallace ends up firing into the air after the first shot.

Armed police swarm and Smithy is ordered to step away from the body. Gina shouts that he's one of them and not to shoot. She gets him away then informs Neil. Smithy is clearly massively affected by what he's had to do and Gina shouts at him at one point because he's not listening to her but staring at Kieran's body. She's also affected and terrified at what she saw almost happen to him.

Smithy makes the call to Cutler to tell him that the guns are at the warehouse and that everything is fine. They leave the pub and head towards the car when CO19 and Sun Hill officers - including Smithy - approach to arrest them. Gina tells Smithy that Wallace is dead. "Great, I warned Wallace he could end up dead in the gutter. It's my job to keep guns off the street and me who shoots him dead." Stevie reassures him it wasn't his fault. Gina tells him she'll need a statement from him, finishing it with "And you look a complete shambles. The quicker I get you back into uniform the better!"

Heaton congratulates Smithy on a successful result with their targets arrested and the guns seized. Neil tells him the DPS want to interview him but not to worry, he had no choice and did the right thing. Max asks him why he went after Wallace and Smithy points out he had a machine gun and was threatening to use it. He tells Max he'd followed his rule - whatever you think you need to do, be ruthless and do it. Max tells him he respects that and that he too had tough calls to make but his safety was number one. He admits he didn't think Smithy could hack it at first but he has no doubts about him now. "Good working with you, Smithy." he tells him, shaking his hand. He tells him he's earnt a break but Smithy says there's no chance of that as the DPS and IPCC will be crawling over him for weeks and then the coroners court. Max offers to back him up and sit with him throughout it if he needs someone. Smithy thanks him and leaves CID only to bump into Stevie.

"Ah Laurence..." she teases, asking him how he feels. Smithy admits he's a bit shaky but he feels alright. She tells him she's done his washing and has put it in the Sergeant's office but found a pair of white y fronts in her things. "Well... we've all got a comfy pair, ain't we." he smirks. He asks if they can 'draw a line under them' and she agrees before kissing him, telling him she was just saying goodbye to Laurence 'before boring old Dale comes back on duty'. They exchange smiles and seperate, Stevie going back to CID and Smithy heading towards his office.

Real hater hours, bottom-of-the-barrel edition:

THE DIRTY SOUTH (2023): The most damning thing I can say about this awful low-wattage Matthew Yerby crime drama is that there's a scene where we're expected to believe the down-on-her-luck bartender heroine (Willa Holland), who's trying to save her family's farm from being repossessed by a local tycoon/tyrant (Dermot Mulroney) by doing a little light criming, is surprised by the suggestion of her male partner in crime (Shane West) that she take off her jacket while shooting pool so her male opponents will be flummoxed by her cropped white tank top, something that has never occurred to her before. (She's a bartender, dude, come on!) The movie doesn't get any better from there. Not trashy enough to be fun, not smart enough to be interesting, slow-paced and dull, with a lazy cop-out ending. Don't bother.

PLAYERS (2024): Startlingly dreadful, more-than-usually synthetic romcom starring Gina Rodriguez as Mack, a sportswriter whose hobby is scheming with her tight-knit group of sports-loving male friends (Damon Wayans Jr., Augustus Prew, Joel Courtney) to come up with convoluted "plays" to scam their way into one-night stands and hook-ups. When Mack decides she likes her latest conquest (Tom Ellis) too much to just discard him, she enlists her friends to begin a plan of stalking and emotional manipulation to make him her boyfriend — but is it one of her buddies she really belongs with? The script for this ham-fisted farce is credited to Whit Anderson, but it seems like what you'd get if you gave a chat bot the prompt "sports-themed romantic comedy script that will appeal to men," and it's about as coherent. Tiresome, not even remotely credible on its own stupid terms, and entirely unfunny. Just dire.

Chapter 71

              They weren’t spending even a week in New York, in their house there, which they only used already when they had something to do there happen to be then; and then they already had to go back to Canada, to continue filming their joint series wherein the woman was hardly playing, but sometimes she and Delilah also went with him to the set when she wasn’t having any scenes. Then Laurence wasn’t sleeping in the studio when his scenes weren’t happen to be shot, anyway, his new movie’s filming hadn’t started yet, and he didn’t have to get ready for it yet, so he wasn’t tuckered out yet.

              When the winter had come, he even gave up his new Cinema Gypsy-expansions to have more time for his family before, and when next year, his new movie’s filming was going to start wherein he was a co-star.

- Anyway, I’m happy because of these two series’ too, and because of the new leading role too – he said when he told Gina, when they were going home after filming their joint series.

On the other hand, he didn’t say that he would have been happy because of his family – his wife thought.

- Thank you for doing it for us. And are you happy that you’re gonna spend more time with us than if you dealt with the expansions too? – she asked the question.

- Of course – her husband said without hesitation – Besides, I like acting much more than producer’s work which I’m having enough with Black-ish too, which also takes a lot of time from dealing with you two.

- Like these two series too. It’s good that the holidays are coming at last. What do you think, where to be spending them? – then it came into Gina’s head that now it surely also reminded the man of his father’s death because in the recent years, because of him, they usually spent Christmas and New Year’s Eve at home, and since last year, this change was because of that, then still only for the second time, that they didn’t have to stay home because of him – Wouldn’t you like to rather spend them with friends than with relatives? At least either day of Christmas? – this solution came into her head, maybe they wouldn’t remind him of his father, and if this special solution, why it would be necessary, would also remind him of fleeing from his father’s death, the other day of Christmas was still there, which they usually spent with relatives, and this way there wouldn’t be pique either.

They had arrived at the hotel, and while going into their suite, Laurence was thinking about what the woman said.

They went into their room so Delilah wouldn’t hear their conversation’s continuation.

- In the end, we can do it if we’re spending either of the days with those relatives who we met longer time ago – the man said, and sat down on the bed – Except if either of Christmas’ days is good for some of them, and the other day of Christmas is good for some others – he continued firmly – On the other hand, I’m sure that I’d like to spend at least either of Christmas’ days with my kids and granddaughter.

- And what about your mom?

- With her, I wouldn’t like to meet yet.

- You two haven’t met since last year.

- You know that she reminds me of my father the most. I’ve known her till the end, ever since I knew my father, as an addition, I was growing up with them, I lived together with both of them for ten years. One day I’m gonna tell her, when I’m ready for it.

- And now you’re selfish to her. You haven’t even given her your new number when you bought a new phone – Gina said but her voice was sympathetic. She knew that since he kept his mother away from himself, he could really miss his father very much, so it would be very grievous if talking with his mother even enhanced it. On the other hand, he didn’t understand why his mother couldn't supply the deficiency of his father.

- We were almost always closer to each other with my father than with my mother – her husband answered the question she didn’t ask – My mother didn’t care about what I wanted. She forced me to this profession, took my childhood, and it’s only good fortune that I also took to what I do. If I didn’t like it and I would have stopped doing it, my childhood would have been lost in vain – he said furiously – As an addition, she’s dunned me several times because I’ve gone places in the profession. With her, I’ve spent plenty of time. On the other hand, with my father, I hardly met, compared to her, since I was ten.

- I think it also plays a role in what you feel now for your mom that you’re comparing her to your dad, because after you lost your dad, you already see good things about him only, because you’re missing him.

Laurence reflected. He didn’t want to answer that way so that there would have been a quarrel with his wife.

- Maybe you’re right – he said - But I’m still feeling this way. For the time being, I wouldn’t like to talk to her. You also said that it would come to an end, and then I’m gonna talk to her again. On the other hand, those things that I told you, are facts, so it serves her right that I’m neglecting her for a while.

- Yes, I know that you two weren’t very close to each other earlier either, and there has been such a situation before too, that you two weren’t talking to each other for a year - the woman said - But happen to be now, she didn’t do anything for it. But I understand that the reason why you so much cottoned to your dad, was exactly because you haven’t been so close to your mom, and now this is why you’re mourning his death so long and so much, and also that’s the reason why it would hurt so much if you were keeping touch with your mom…

The man dropped his teeth about how sound and well the woman saw the situation. It came into his head again how smart she is, too, almost like his mother.

- I lost my father forever, on the other hand, she didn’t lose me forever – he still continued the argument because he knew that to her, he could talk about it - I’m much more mourning my father’s death than her, if she ever mourned his death at all. Moreover, since she’s so smart, maybe she realized it even by herself why I’m not talking to her, and she also knows that it doesn’t last forever. Although maybe I’ll never be completely over losing my father, but after a while, the grief abates, and I’ll be able to talk to her again.

Just poor Hattie didn’t know till when she had to wait, and she couldn’t even reach him – Gina thought but didn’t say it because didn’t want to trouble him even with it.

They sent Delilah to have a bath, they also had a shower, put the little girl to bed, and they went to sleep, too.

              They were spending either day of Christmas at home, in America, so Mike and his family, and Langston and his girlfriend could come, too, and some other cousins of Laurence’s, and some of Delilah’s cousins came, too. Besides them, Gina’s siblings, parents and grandparents came, too. They were spending the other day at home, too, because their friends didn’t live in Canada, either. The woman’s girlfriends came, of her husband’s godchildren, Emilio, Charlie and Renée came, and of his friends, Ozwald, Joe, Ice, Angela, Titus, Billy, Cordozar, Anthony, his new friend Larenz Tate, and Michael came.

They were celebrating New Year’s Eve in Canada, with Martin, Ramón and Gary who were filming there, too.

              Next year, Laurence wasn’t only playing one more leading role in one more movie but he also had to play in an episode of The Muppets, in California, what he already promised. While he was in the US because of it, with Gina and Delilah, some of his scenes were also shot for Black-ish, and he also played again in a musical talk show with the series’ co-stars Anthony and Tracee. He also promised before to play a supporting role in romantic sci-fi, too, what’s filming was going to be in Georgia, from September.

- Daddy! – Delilah shouted from her hotel room in May, after they had gone to Canada.

Her father, curious about what she could want, went over to her.

- Grandma’s appearing on TV! – the little girl said, rejoicing as soon as the man had arrived at her room.

- Why do you watch such shows? I told you not to watch such shows like this! – Laurence changed channel, panicky, then hurried to the living room, to Gina, but left their daughter’s room’s door open to hear if Delilah was watching that show again – You were right. I really should have been dealing with my mother recently – he said furiously to his wife who was happened to be doing gymnastics – After my daughter, now she’s outraging my reputation, too. I suppose what she can be saying about me on TV – he was pacing up and down, holding his head.

His wife stopped doing gymnastics, and turned on the TV, took a look at what their daughter was watching, and then, by seeing that she was watching something else, she closed the door of her room.

- Which is that channel? – she asked, standing in front of the TV again, with the remote control in her hand.

- I don’t know, I don’t remember – her husband said restlessly – Search it!

- Wait, I’ll look for it on the internet – the woman went for her phone, and while she searched it on the internet, Laurence turned off the TV.

Then he saw that their daughter came out of her room – she heard what he just said – it came into his head – then the door was still open.

The little girl was lingering in the living room, waiting to hear more about this thing.

Her father already would have sent her back to the room when Gina, who hadn’t realized that Delilah was there, read to him what she found.

Hattie said she was facing eviction from her rented flat, she didn’t have money for food and to go to the theater, she couldn’t reach her son, they hadn’t talked to each other for a year, he had never given her a penny, he had never returned thanks for she got him to such a big success, and she walked with crutch because of an accident, and had skits of illnesses.

The man was only listening to it, startled, and even forgot to take the little girl back to the room.

- Daddy, it’s not true, either, right? – Delilah began to speak, agitated and shyly – You say not to believe everything but to talk to people in person.

Her mother only then noticed that she was there, too, and it came into her husband’s head that she heard everything, too – Already she was a victim of this, too – they thought, frightened.

- There’s no big problem. My mom’s a smart woman, she succeeded in reaching me, and now that I know about what happened to her, I can pay her rent. I only wasn’t talking to her for a year because she’s been reminding me of Grandpa and because I haven’t known in what situation she is, but after a while, I would have talked with her again, anyway; and almost everybody’s cholesterol level is high, and underactive thyroid isn’t a serious illness, either – her father explained imperturbable way after the first shock – In most cases, arthritis isn’t dangerous, either.

The woman was calmed down a bit by Laurence how well beat the rap.

- If somebody says something bad about Dad at school, feel free to tell it – she also said after it, firmly – By the way she’s surely not going so hungry since she’s still worrying about she has no money to go to the theater. She just can’t buy that food which she wants – she continued in a reassuring voice.

- So that’s OK – their daughter went back to her room cheerfully.

Her parents looked at each other relieved, and sat down on the sofa.

- After she did this to you, you’ll still pay the rent for her?! Like you rewarded her for it! – Gina began to speak indignantly.

- In the end, I wasn’t keeping in  touch with her for a year, without explanation, and without her doing anything against me – the man reflected, staring into space – And that’s also true that I’ve never given her a gift for what she did for me.

- But you’ve given her presents, just not for it – his wife said emphatically – And that’s not true, either, that you’ve never given her any money! – she continued angrily.

- Maybe she forgot it – her husband watched the floor, and then went into his room to meditate.

After that, he reviewed his lines for tomorrow’s filming, for his leading role. The joint series with Gina, had come to an end already after the third season, because of the viewing figures’ decline.

While taking a shower, he was considering what to say to his mother when he would call her.

Before going to sleep, he was still reading a comic book to divert his thoughts, to be able to fall asleep. Sometimes he still reads comics and he still collects them.

This time it came into his head by it, too, that when he was a child, he wanted to be an actor to earn money, to have money to go shopping and not to have to pilfer the comic books, and his mother only wanted to make him a star because when she was young, she didn’t succeed in getting into show business.

From all the above mentioned ladies and their placements what's apparent to me is that a combination of Moon/Jupiter/Saturn/Mercury in a chart is what creates an hourglass body on a woman. Obviously you can have all these placements and have another body type because genetics also play a role <3

Moon and Jupiter are what create curves, Mercury & Saturn are what determines bone structure.

So a balance between the two is what creates a body that is voluptuous yet ideally proportionate.

So many women on this list have Mercury atmakaraka/amatyakaraka and manyyy have Ashlesha as their atmakaraka nakshatra or another Mercurial nak in their big 3. Ardra nak crops up often because it belongs to Gemini (mercury) rashi and creates small ish, delicate bone structure

Mars & Venus are secondary influences and usually prominent in the charts of taller, more voluptuous hourglasses.

Taurus rashi and Gemini rashi were the most common among these famous hourglass women

Feline yoni (cat, tiger, lion) was also popular which makes sense because these women have a very animal like magnetism. Animals in the cat family are very sexy but also dangerous. Another common yoni animal was Serpent yoni. I had previously observed that Serpent yoni was common in the charts of most sex symbols. And most of these women on this list are considered sex symbols.

I hope this was insightful <3
