[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 824293, member: 53455"] [B]Living the life of Chief Inspector Morse[/B] In 2019, a theme-based group I belonged to on Flickr set the theme “Fictitious lives”, or something like that. Chief Inspector Morse of the Thames Valley Police in Oxford being one of my favorite characters of fiction, I knew just how to compose my photo: a Morse notebook, a crossword puzzle, a tumbler of Lagavulin, and of course, to celebrate Morse’s love for opera and classical music, a Denon turntable cartridge, a pair of AKG Reference headphones and a Deutsche Grammophon recording conducted by Herbert von Karajan... I regretted having nothing Jaguar to place in the frame, while enjoying the fact of being one of the not so many people having driven in a Jaguar Mark II just like Morse’s —my father had one when I was maybe 12 or 13... ;) And by the way, to those of you who don’t know who Morse is, I very warmly recommend the books by Colin Dexter, OBE († 2017). They are the damn cleverest thrillers I have read since the very best by Agatha Christie, only of course much more modern and believable.
