As you mäy have noticed, I’ve been on a bit of a Poirot “kick” lately. We own a bunch of the movies on DVD, and then I loaded up my Netflix DVD queue with a bunch of the ones we don’t have.
Here’s a listing of my Netflix DVD activity since October:
Masterpiece Mystery!: Poirot: Cat Among the Pigeons
Masterpiece Mystery!: Poirot: Three Act Tragedy
Masterpiece Mystery!: Poirot: The Mysterious Affair at Styles
Poirot: Vol. 1
Poirot: Vol. 2
Poirot: Vol. 3
Poirot: Vol. 4
Masterpiece Mystery!: Poirot: Super Sleuths
Poirot: Vol. 5
Poirot: Vol. 6
Poirot: Vol. 7
Masterpiece Mystery!: Poirot: Hallowe’en Party
Masterpiece Mystery!: Poirot: Appointment with Death
Masterpiece Mystery!: Poirot: Mrs. McGinty’s Dead
Masterpiece Mystery!: Poirot: Five Little Pigs
Masterpiece Mystery!: Poirot: After the Funeral
Rosemary’s Baby
Wait…What the…?
Oh, right, I loaded a bunch of movies into the queue after Beth recommended them, back around Halloween. Then I ended up reshuffling the queue around.
Turns out that Poirot: Vol. 8, 10, 11, and 12 are all listed as “Very Long Wait” and (presumably) 9 wasn’t available on the day when they were ready to send out my next DVD.
So… yeah… “And now for something completely different” as the kids say :-)

Poirot: You have everything that you need, madam?
Ariadne Oliver: Oh yes, I’m perfectly well provided for, I have reams of paper, oceans of ink, and I’m sure Robert has gin. What more does a girl need?
Poirot: You have brought your own ink?
Ariadne Oliver: Always do. Who would be without ink?

Poirot and Hastings play Monopoly
- Poirot: I will build a hotel on Frederick Street.
- Hastings: You can't build a hotel on a railway station…
- Poirot: Do not be absurd Hastings, there are plenty of hotels at railway stations.
- Hastings: It's not in the rules!
- Poirot: Well then, Hastings, the rules are wrong!
