Hehehe, you sound like my fella, if he offers to get me a drink and I ask for a glass of water he fully grimaces and tries to make me have something else. We have lovely hard water here and it tastes beautiful, much better than my poor Aunt who lives a little outside of London, her soft water is...

I really don't think that there will be peace in anyone's time but I just hope that we can somehow reach a time without terrorism at least. Unfortunately it's probably not going to happen, it pretty much has the same flaw as Marxism - it involves humans displaying a hefty variety of human...

OK, here in NE Yorkshire it's been warm with a light breeze and two pretty heavy but short lived rain showers. Breakfast - oops forgot to have any. Lunch - an apple, some crisps, a banana and a sandwich Dinner - Left overs from yesterdays barbeque. And on the subject of soft drinks I...

Wow! Thank you that was really interesting. Oh, and, bug, bug, bug, bug, bug, bug...Is that enough or shall I continue?

I don't get it because the alchemical myth is actually the Philosopher's Stone unless it does have a different name in the US (anyone?) One thing I do like about the HP books is how so much ties in with real mythology and history and how a lot of the names are so cleverly worked out (a prime...

Well today it's forecast to be about 24 degrees celsius and we're heading down the street (literally) to the beach for a day of sandcastles and bbq. A whole lotta family piling down too. Lucky for us by the beach it shouldn't get too hot cos we have a lovely cool sea breeze (just to annoy...

Naaaw, it's cute - in an overgrown, slime-fest kinda way.

*Applauds* I don't have my copy yet but then I don't have time to read it anyway. 'S'odd though, seeing you write The Sorcerer's Stone when to me it's The Philosopher's Stone. :smirk:

Okey Dokey let's go! Food: Apples, courgettes (um, zuchini, I think they are to Americans), potatoes of any variety except crisps. Drinks: A nice cup of tea (or the odd g&t) Fast Food Restaurant: Not so much but if I had to choose it'd be Pizza Hut Video Games: I don't play video...

Well, I have the Walker Book of Poetry for Children and The Walker Book of Bedtime Stories so I'm thinking that the bear and candle represent bedtime for kids. Lots of kids take teddies to bed and a candle is somehow more appealing than having the bear turning on a light switch. It's just a...

I was determined not to like HP and managed to stave it off for a few years but now I do really enjoy it, I'd say there are definitely better kids/adults books around - The Chronicles of Narnia and His Dark Materials trilogy come to mind but I can get on quite well with Harry.

Wow, great pics, guys. I love seeing what everyone elses' worlds look like. I'll sort out some of my own pics but for now here's Scarborough Castle it's about fifteen minutes walk from my house and this is a sketch of my eldest but it's not that great, I bodged a coupla features. :(

Three people in Leeds (northern city, about an hour and a half away from me - not that that means anything to anyone) who were killed in the bombings are now suspected of being suicide bombers. The bus was almost definitely a suicide bomber because they found some documents among the wreckage...

Well, I'm listening to Sizer Barker's 'Hotel Juicy Parlour' album, at this moment it's 'We Came Up Favourite'.

Crikey, we have to get a book each because the fella can't bear for me to read it first but he is a mega-slow reader. I finished the last book before he was half way through, we'd be sat there on an evening and every five minutes he'd go "What page are you on now?" it got a little annoying after...

Today on the North East coast of England it has been horribly muggy, 23 degrees celsius and I really want a good, rollicking summer storm to come along and clear the air. Oh and, breakfast a bit of toast, lunch peanut butter sandwich and an apple and tea chick sticks, mushy peas and chips...

It wasn't just changed for the British, the French had a chef and Sprocket was called something like Croquette and the Germans had a different Doc. I think it may have been done so that the kids of the respective countries could imagine that Fraggle Rock might be somewhere near them. America...

And the way he came to understand the music? By listening, of course! To understand something you have to take the time to listen to it. Another lesson from the book of Fraggle I think.

I like the sponge-looking thing that growls at Reda nd Wembley in You Can't Do That Witout A Hat. There's another thread around that identifies him as Food.

No problem, if I see him again I'll let you know.
