One of our tutors--Hercule Poirot :-)

[Tadeusz Lemańczyk]

You remember the description of our group The eEurope ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yahoo-cls-europeaninformationsociety/ ), don't you? I'm also sure you remember my comment about comprehensively instructive holiday entertainment [ http://fedcba.ning.com/profiles/blogs/nie-samym-surveillance (June 21, 2009 at 2:33pm)]. Therefore, my wife [an ardent Chief Inspector James Japp (Philip Jackson), Hercule Poirot (David Suchet), Captain Arthur Hastings (Hugh Fraser), and Miss Felicity Lemon (Pauline Moran) fan]

(here are all four of them from the left to the right)

and I would like to welcome those three categories of students [from both Poznan University of Technology ( http://triton.cs.put.poznan.pl/platon/studia/planyStudiow/kierunek/... ) and from European Career College ( http://www.kde.edu.pl/page.php/1/0/show/915 and http://www.kde.poznan.pl/page.php/1/0/show/640 )] for discussing together those three aspects of that valuable TV series ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094525/ ), namely security matters, European matters, and linguistic matters. Naturally other fans are welcome too. :-)

The Affair at the Victory Ball
It's not easy for any foreigner to impress educated people from southeast England by his/her accent, isn't it ( http://fedcba.ning.com/video/the-affair-at-the-victory-ball )? Luckily for Poirot, there are such Englishmen as Chief Inspector Japp speaking "There's nothing wrong with my lingo". :-)

The Mystery of Hunter's Lodge
I suppose that none of you has been shocked by the following dialog.

Sergeant Forgan--Pleasant drive, sir?
Chief Inspector Japp--You're trying to be funny?
Sergeant Forgan--No, sir.

It's because you fully understand that Security & Safety Engineering business trips aren't the place at which to exchange civilities, isn't it? ;-)

The ABC Murders
The skill of listening to others is very important also in e-learning ( http://fedcba.ning.com/group/mitkno ). The comparison between Hercule Poirot ( http://fedcba.ning.com/video/the-abc-murders1 and http://fedcba.ning.com/video/the-abc-murders2 ), Chief Inspector Japp ( http://fedcba.ning.com/video/the-abc-murders3 ), and Alexander Bonaparte Cust ( http://fedcba.ning.com/video/the-abc-murders4 ) is a good opportunity for describing bad listeners and a good one, isn't that so? :-)

Death in the Clouds
Revenge is sweet also in France, isn't it ( http://fedcba.ning.com/video/death-in-the-clouds )? However, is such behavior ethical ( http://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/xn/detail/2036441:Comment:2... )? ;-)

One, Two, Buckle My Shoe
Clearly, it ( http://fedcba.ning.com/video/one-two-buckle-my-shoe ) isn't a secure door, hard to be battered down as, for example, the following one.

The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb
Arab Republic of Egypt ( http://ec.europa.eu/external_relations/egypt/index_en.htm ) is well-known also to each European Studies student. Therefore, have you been struck by these first frames ( http://fedcba.ning.com/video/the-adventure-of-the-egyptian ) of the first episode of the fifth season ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094525/episodes#season-5 )? Have the words "The Egyptian flag flying at the camp is the design adopted in 1984 and which was thus contemporary with production of the episode, not that of the kingdom which was overthrown in 1952 and which was thus contemporary with the action of the story" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0676164/goofs ) incited you to search for the flag of the Kingdom of Egypt? I'd like to recommend the URL http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/eg-kingd.html to you.

The Underdog
The beginning ( http://fedcba.ning.com/video/the-underdog ) of the second episode of the fifth season ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094525/episodes#season-5 ) could be a very good introduction to the blended course Organization and functioning of security and safety systems ( http://triton.cs.put.poznan.pl/platon/files/opisyPrzedmiotow/ib_dzi... ), couldn't it? How many professional errors made in Astwell's chemical company can you enumerate?

Yellow Iris
What do you think about the break in hungry Poirot's resistance to English cuisine? Is there ( http://fedcba.ning.com/video/yellow-iris ) really appearing "fish 'n' chips" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_and_chips )? By the way, what do you think about the rapid spread of "food purchased at a restaurant but eaten elsewhere" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take-out ) in today's Europe? In one of our discussions held at http://www.bemep.eu/ appeared a suggestion that in Britain kebab replaced pudding [British ban christmans in the name of hallah (available now at http://www.lemant.user.icpnet.pl/tad/0364 i 0367.htm )].

The Case of the Missing Will
Does the reaction of students at University of Cambridge to Robert Siddaway's speech ( http://fedcba.ning.com/video/the-case-of-the-missing-will ) make you aware of the long way passed by Europeans during the past seventy three years?

The Adventure of the Italian Nobleman
Enjoying these fragments ( http://fedcba.ning.com/video/the-adventure-of-the-italian , http://fedcba.ning.com/video/the-adventure-of-the-italian-1 , and http://fedcba.ning.com/video/the-adventure-of-the-italian-2 ) of the fifth episode of the fifth season ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094525/episodes#season-5 ), I cannot overcome the temptation to recall another of our discussions held at http://www.bemep.eu/ [Happy New Year (available now at http://www.lemant.user.icpnet.pl/tad/0432, 0789, 0805, 1064, 1069 i... )]. I mean especially these links ( http://www.supplyjewelry.com/05Decp-jewelry/charmv13309.htm , http://www.salecatcher.com/pendant-c31.htm , http://www.wholesalesarong.com/0605p-wholesalehandbag/neckh93422.htm ). :-)

The Chocolate Box
Has Chief Inspector Japp used the noun "revolution" ( http://fedcba.ning.com/video/the-chocolate-box ) in the meaning present in The Mysterious Mr. Quin ["her forebears were émigrés from the French Revolution" ( http://www.scribd.com/doc/6578752/1930-the-Mysterious-Mr-Quin , p. 43)]? :-)

Dead Man's Mirror
Sometimes it turns out that for safety reasons windows should be protected not only against opening from the outside but also against locking from the outside ( http://fedcba.ning.com/video/dead-mans-mirror ), doesn't it so?
