^ 'Fraid so, down in the corner - next stop France. Mark Lawson put The Wire in the Top Ten TV shows to be watched on DVD in the Grauniad this week; Dominic West and Idris Elba are Brits of course - Aidan Gillen is geographically close too, as well as being within a degree of RTD via Queer as Folk.
Ricky Gervais references The Wire as the sort of quality drama that couldn't be produced in the UK - but then, it's hardly US Networks either.
I believe The Wire got a brief airing in the UK on Channel 4, but didn't do the numbers.

Or that you learned it from the Brian Daly Han Solo novels (there was a droid called "Bollux").
"Bollocks" is the British term for "ass," and is often used to describe something wrong, confusing, or messed up, or as just a general mild curse.
Spike used it a few times.

Yes my spelling can be atrocious when I have been up for like 25 hours straight.

Actually you can use either Bollocks, or bollox, which is a slang spelling. It's used in a similar way the french use Merde, or the americans use Crap.

My apologies if the apparent misapprehensions here are ironic, but here is a US reference:

I enjoy the antipathy between bollocks and the dog's bollocks; IMHO, Torchwood is somewhere in-between - back on topic!
