Yes, folks, that's me when it comes to misuses of language that lead to incomprehensibilty.
Today, on Radio 4 (the BBC's spoken word flagship station) a presenter used this word. Yes. Indie-fat-EEG-able. WTF? I thought. Then it came to me. She meant "indefatigable".
When ignorance leads to such misuse that someone with advanced qualifications in English needs several seconds to process what the hell someone means, the laxness of those who should be setting a good example has gone too far.
Welcome to the world of the Vincent D'Onofrio obsessed - and a bit of real life thrown in.

What a Family!
These people are too clever for their own good. As with Smothered, at the end of the day, all their machinations to try and cause someone's death without actually being held responsible backfire, and everyone makes it to jail.
One of my favourite pictures of all time.
Forget that Irene - I'm over here!

The Doctor's Comeuppance
Message to arrogant doctor - don't underestimate "civil servants" - especially when they're called Bobby Goren!

Athabasca
Those of you who were around in 2006 will remember my family reunion in Alberta, Canada. I took my camcorder all the way, but only used it once. These are some of the previously unseen stills I made from the film.
The daughter of the house, Leah, on the treadmill. She's an opera singer.
My cousins Linda and Joyce.
Cousin Lorna.
After she had pointed out that it was nearly midday and they were still in their nightwear,
Then Leah told her the truth!
This film was made after most of the family had gone back home. There were 117 of them! Sadly, there hasn't been another reunion since, though I suppose I should be glad, as I don't think I could have made it.

Linda tried to crawl past the camera unseen.

Pardon?
Again, not a favourite, though it was nice to meet Lewis. And we do get to see Bobby in a bulletproof vest twice. Not to mention lots of examples of his humanity.
Not sure why the perp was so insistent on his son going to his mother when he "knew what went on in those places" (ie. children's homes/foster care). Given the mess he's in, she couldn't have done him much good.
I wanted to punch Carver, and the slimeballs at City Hall.

Did someone mention Poison?
Actually, it's not a favourite of mine, mostly because I dislike the spoilt, selfish perp. (I know that means good acting, but I can't help it!)
But the main thing is BOBBY'S IN IT! (Not to mention his groin...)
