Questions answered courtesy of Wikipedia:
Amanda Redman (born 12 August 1959 in Brighton) is an English actress. She is perhaps most famous as Alison Braithwaite in the television series At Home With The Braithwaites and as Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman in New Tricks.
Biography
Redman was trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. She is the niece of actress Joyce Redman.
Early in her career she had rhinoplasty.
She took over from Alfred Molina in the 1990's comedy drama El C.I.D., playing a new female lead in the series, and played Diana Dors in the 1999 TV movie The Blonde Bombshell. In 2000 she played Deedee Dove in the feature film Sexy Beast, and most recently, she has starred in the TV series New Tricks. In 2004 Amanda appeared in the BBC documentary Who Do You Think You Are?
Redman was president of the Brighton Little Theatre from 2004-2007. She is also involved in drama education at the Artist's Theatre School, based at Ealing Studios.
She recently performed in Children's Party At The Palace as Cruella DeVil for Queen Elizabeth II's 80th birthday.
Personal life
She has a daughter Emily (born 1987), also an actress, from her first and only marriage to the actor Robert Glenister from whom she is now divorced. She is also a supporter of Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. Redman is badly scarred on her upper left arm as a result of scalding herself with a pan of boiling soup when she was 16 months old. She suffered 3rd degree burns to 75% of her body in the accident. Her father Ronald died from a heart attack in December 1991.

She was badly scalded when she was a kid. It's quite often covered up but she does not seem to mind it being seen.
This is her with, as it happens, my MP.

Apart from the MP bit I think I said that! She does often wear sleeveless garments that show her scarred upper arm.

The problem is that TV and Film stars never seem to age until they are dead.
It's because of all the repeats. Same with their publicity shots. The protfolio is large and the pics not usually dated.

It came labelled on the Interthingy ...... I suspect taken when she was very much younger but since I didn't take it, file it in "Stock Photos" or post it on the interwhotsit for the public to see (until now) I cannot offer any guarantees.
If you click on quote you will get the site from which I took it. Cut and paste into your search engine and see what it says.
The photo, obtained via Google, says it's Amanda Donohoe but my postings do not come with a money back warranty.

Sounds like an Italian train conductor. He does have a hat and a whistle. WHich reminds me of a journey I once made by train to Rome. Some Americans on the train gazed out of a window during a night stop. One said, "Where are we?" and the other replied, "It's call Sottopassagio."

Ok getting vaguely back on subject again, one of my younger cousins was given 'Gears of War' for his computer for Christmas. The only PC game I have ever heard of that requies you to have an active internet connection and a valid Windows Live account to be able to save while playing the single player game offline.
What is the problem I hear you ask, he doesnt have an internet connection and can't justify paying for one just to play a single game.
Anti piracy my arse, This is Microsoft snaring people to get the basic account so that they can hound them about upgrading to the premium pay service.
