Was in the car with ma today, and mentioned his passing. She said 'Oh, I know. I was going to call you about it. You used to love him!'

I adored Columbo. Whenever it was on I'd watch. Watched with Mum a few times.

I especially remember that one with the theatre actors. Can't recall the title. Brilliant, brilliant show.

I always liked how apparently unheroic he was. With his shambolic appearance and broken down car. I liked that it was never about guns and might, but rather intelligence and guile. And that often he had sympathy for the villain. It was rarely as black and white as other detective shows.

Is that a particularly Amercian phrase, or are you referring to any euphemism?

I think the British and Americans have always danced around the subject of death. Our old graveyards have:
"Taken from us..."
"Fell asleep..."
"Left us..."
