I've not seen the original spooks is the code 9 version the same sort of
thing? Is anybody else watching it? Do you other side of the pond types
even know about it? Will I ever stop typing in short questioning sentences?

Spooks : 21 Jump Street, from the trailers. Same as Sppoks, but all
the agents look about 12.

I wondered if I could tap your vast knowledge of passport stuff. A
friend of mine is Dutch and needs to renew her passport, can she still do
it in Hull, or does she have to go to the consulate?
Thanks.

It'd have to be renewed at a Dutch consulate - does Hull have one ?

If not, I'd imagine she can renew by post, she'd have to check with
the Consulate for advice (and a form).

I'd recommend looking for a website. Such as -

http://www.netherlands-embassy.org.uk/passports/index.php?i=46

Netherlands Consulate Hull
Crowle House
41 High Street
PO Box 12
Hull HU1 1RJ
Tel: 01482 - 224 911
Fax: 01482 - 224 914
E-mail: nlco...@kettlewell.com

Looks like she'll have to attend to renew it ?

It's about as good as it sounds but still better than bonekickers, a show
so bad even I am lost for words.
The new series of spooks starts in october and there have been 6 series
so far to whomever was asking as per usual I've rather lost the thread
again.

I actually quite like Bonekickers, but I do feel guilty about it.

Has it finished now ? Ep 6 seemed to be the last one...

supposedly they renamed spooks mi-5 because of the negative
connotation to the name spooks. derogatory name for blacks. stupid,
but there you have it.

Right alongside the black guy Washington gave his watch to.

However, cue last night of the Proms

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green
And was the holy lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen

And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills

Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spears o'clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire

I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
