Really? I thought "rec.travel.europe" was a newsgroup about
European travel, not about proper content for the
newsgroup. :-) The consensus of the REGULAR posters here
seems to be that for the most part we enjoy the tangential
branching off of subjects. (And when we don't the remedy is
simple, and does not require posting about our disapproval
at length.)

Don't they show "Only Fools and Horses" on PBS or on BBC America? In
addition to a character named "Boycie" there is also one named "Trigger"!
Look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/onlyfools/uncovered/
