I remember The Avengers. They'd show all kinds of old British shows on PBS.

I caught a few episodes as a child. I started watching thinking it might be a British version of 'Get Smart".
Dear One Eyed Jack and noguru,
Wonderful! I keep thinking everyone here is really young. I can't seem to help myself. Wasn't Emma Peel/Diana Rigg hot as could be?!! She was a fox!! I have a lot of the shows on VCR tapes. I'm going to buy some machine from Roxio to put my VCR movies on DVDs, and it also lets you put cassettes on CDs. It's about $60. Otherwise, I will lose them. I even have her last episode on the show. That's my favorite. It's really too bad she didn't stay a year or two longer.
Well, we're from the hippie generation, eh? I'm 58 years old. I think Stevie Nicks was a fox too. Cristine McVie is rejoining the group and they're suppose to do another tour. I don't know if they'll beat Jesus or not. They're suppose to do a new album. The concert tickets cost so much these days.
Well, you guys are really cool and fun to talk with! Chat with you again soon. You know we will!!
God Bless Your Hearts,
Michael

Hi Michael,
I spent my working life mainly in London's West End, near Harrods, but rich people actually live there, not me, and btw I'm older than you apparently.
I gather that London may be the most expensive place to live these days but I now live on the Isle of Wight and not many people here have any great wealth.
I remember the original Avengers series in black and white with Honor Blackman as the leading lady with John Steed.

I liked the way the leading characters in the Avengers (TV series) were always cool, sophisticated and competent in any circumstances, unlike Maxwell Smart.

I remember them too. Benny Hill, Monty Python and Dr. Who -- I used to love all that stuff.
Pretty mild climate (and fairly sunny) there on the Isle of Wight, huh? Looks like a nice place.
He was sort of a lovable klutz. And then there was Agent 99. For cool, sophisticated and competent in any circumstances, you had to watch Magnum P.I. or MacGyver.

I can see the Isle of Wight today from Sussex. Are you on the NE part I can see? It's sunny and very warm here as well.

It's warm-ish and sunny in the Midlands too. Looks like a good day to be a Brit
Yup. There are three of us on one thread and we've ended up talking about the weather.

You're right, we should be discussing more serious issues.... now, about The Avengers and Honor Blackman

To be honest I liked hearing you guys describe the weather conditions of your early spring. Though I have never been to the UK. I do love the weather in New England in the spring (I spent 35 years there). I imagine that the weather is similar though warmer in the UK because the Gulf Stream makes a right turn off the coast of RI and pushes right up into the islands that are the UK. I would love to get to Ireland and Scotland (for the brown trout fishing) as well.
My Bavarian friend told me that Italy has a law which would enable me to get my Italian citizenship. And with that I would be a citizen of the European Union. All I would need is $3k and proof that my grandparents migrated here from Sicily. I've thought about it, and then spending my later years over there.

I saw him live at the Supper Club in NY city back in 1993ish . It was a large bar restaurant with around 500 theater seats on level one. The whole place (2 level - a mezzanine of about 500) only held about 1,200. He played for over 3 hours, and it was everything I imagined and more. One of my favorites was watching him play "Slim Slow Slider".
But you haven't explained the difference in the phrases used. That's the difference that was asked for.

Here's a tip. If you ever come to Blighty be sure to bring you umbrella
I realize that the warm water from the Gulf Stream meeting the cooler air means lots of rain in the UK. But that makes the occasional break in the clouds when the sun comes shining through all that more magnificent. Here in the land of sun and saline (next to the LA area we probably have more cosmetic surgery centers per capita than any other place in the world), one often starts to take it for granted. Every morning I reconnect with my gratitude for being able to live here.
