and "scouse git" was apparently transposed to US TV as
"meathead." see what I mean, just not the same :)
obligatory on-topic: just finished "Red Light" by T.
Jefferson Parker. Good stuff. It's interesting that this is a
completely different kind of book from "Blue Hour" yet the
characterizations are pretty consistent. There are a few
annoying cliches involved in revealing the mystery - can we
never have the killer hold the heroine at gunpoint and
explain his whole plan again? please? - but the good
definitely outweighs the bad in this book.
