She's actually saying <I>Tabernac</I> which is one of the more offensive things you can say in Québecois French (I don't know about France French; we'd have to ask Marie.) Younger daughter seems to have enjoyed her try-out day at the second prospective school. (Heaven knows, she didn't want to go...) She has declared a clear preference for the first school, so we are setting the registration wheels in motion.<br /><br />Not clear on whether you're asking about the commentaries or the Confidentials, b.a.b. My complaint is that the Confidentials on the DVDs are the 15-minute cut-down versions of the original 45-minute Confidentials, which is why we've taken to illegally downloading them. There are often two versions of the commentaries for each episode as well, and lately BBC has been making it difficult to access the online ones. Last year, they released the online versions on BBC7 Radio, but the commentary for <I>Planet of the Dead</I> was "not available for Listen Again" which meant you had to listen to it "live" on BBC7 or nothing. I just missed it, so elder daughter sought it out online and illegally downloaded that as well. It may still show up on YouTube or in the David-Tennant.com audio section.Persephonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15560178981320189795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215926314312539949.post-10781685900686829982009-04-14T13:03:00.000-07:002009-04-14T13:03:00.000-07:00i agree that Planet of the Dead was nowhere near a...i agree that Planet of the Dead was nowhere near as intriguing (or creepy) as its title implied. also... not angsty enough for me.*<br /><br />glad YD like Easter Parade -- i admit it's one of my favorites. as are LOB and JDM!<br /><br />*must ask -- what do you mean edited commentaries on the dvds? we never download the DWC stuff, but maybe we should?bonnie-ann blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897963557767227247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215926314312539949.post-79447623070602893492009-04-14T08:44:00.000-07:002009-04-14T08:44:00.000-07:00Persephone, sorry you're still having such a rough...Persephone, sorry you're still having such a rough time. I know that feeling of being exhausted all the time, and I don't have nearly the stress you do (have felt Incredibly Old this winter!!). Must watch Jesus of Montreal - fascinated by your observation about offensiveness among catholics, because English catholics tend to take the scatologoical approach too, and I'd never thought about the way other nations do it (though I do know that European catholics differ hugely from their pragmatic UK cousins).<br /><br />Life of Brian should be enforced watching for anyone who is prejudiced about religion. My parents were horrified by it when it came out and as a result I didn't see it for years, and when I did I couldn't understand their sense of offence. It was a rare moment in my father's life where he allowed his beliefs to blot out his normal clear sighted thinking.<br /><br />I loved Dr Who by the way, it was just silly enough to be up my street. But then I have a very childish sense of humour...<br /><br />Hope you have better times soon - did your daughter like the school?Jane Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17514534117777707886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215926314312539949.post-38170479837375640202009-04-14T05:32:00.000-07:002009-04-14T05:32:00.000-07:00I'm afraid I didn't love Planet of the Dead either...I'm afraid I didn't love <I>Planet of the Dead</I> either, Violet Sky; younger daughter loved <I>Easter Parade</I>.

Giving ...your Easter Good Christian deed well done.<br />Giving directions to a harrowed traveller is the classic pay-it-forward thing.<br /><br />Now is the time to mention that your 10th bun-baking year will be your last? Ease them gently into the idea of your successor.<br /><br />I hope you rolled away your stone to a sense of renewal on Monday.BwcaBrowniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500142856655553009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215926314312539949.post-81686135847012165092009-04-13T15:32:00.000-07:002009-04-13T15:32:00.000-07:00Your life does sound exhausting.
