Hello World!

I never before realised how awkward it was being called 'Chris'.

You see there's me (Chris), then there's our intrepid site owner (Christian), CSI episode reviewer (Kristine) and last but not least, our new music recap man, Chris Fullman. As you can imagine, it makes for a bit of a chaotic newsroom. Poor Caillan. He says, "Chris, could I borrow you for a second?" and four people come running. Well, five actually. Michelle is a little hard of hearing.

Anyhow, I (Chris) went to see the boss (Christian) last week. "Christian," I said (for one should never call him "Chris", on pain of death), "do you think it'd be good if we had somewhere for our readers to write in to, so they could tell us what they thought of these columns and maybe, just maybe even get mentioned here?"

Well as it turned out the fellow hadn't had his morning cup of coffee yet. But as soon as he had, he responded in marvellous English, "Splendid, old chap! Spiffing! What a truly superb idea! I hearby christen the new feedback idea 'Chris's Postbox'!" *

So after pointing out to him that his use of the word "christen" had, in fact, created a queue of four people waiting patiently at his desk (Chris Fullman was out that day), I mulled it over. And I realised that "Chris's Postbox" might be a tad ambiguous. So I chose to rename it in honour of the name I post at Talk CSI with, namely Mogh. And thus Mogh's Mailbag was born.

So for every Chris's CSI Columns that come from now on, a Marvellous Mogh's Mailbag will appear. Got any points or commentary about news this week? Agree/disagree with the reviews or columns? Or would you just like to add your thoughts to the swirling mists of my chaotic columnar diatribes? Write in! Send to Mogh's Mailbag and I'll do my utmost to put the funniest, wittiest and most thought-provoking entries up here in the Site Columns, and even reply to a few of them.

So... I look forward to hearing from you all!

Tomorrow's Television Listings

  • Wednesday's CSI: New York outing, "Outside Man" will air 10:00pm. According to TV Guide, ""In a test of faith to them both, Mac assigns Danny and Aiden to one of the team's toughest cases yet: a multiple homicide in which employees of a restaurant are found shot to death with plastic bags over their heads. As they examine the clues, all signs point to an "inside" job but not to a suspect. Meanwhile, Mac and Stella investigate the death of a man found dead in his bed, whose amputated lower leg led them to him."

  • On Thursday at 9:00pm the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode "Formalities" will air. According to TV Guide, "Grissom abruptly leaves a dinner honoring Conrad Ecklie's appointment to new Assistant Director of the Crime Lab after he gets an urgent page to rush across the street to a hotel suite where a high school student was found dead. Dayshift CSI Sofia Curtis assists Grissom with the case. The autopsy reveals that the victim died of suffocation after one of her classmates was kidnapped from the party. The CSI team now races to find the kidnapped victim before she is found dead, too."
