I love cheese and a look in my fridge shows some Danish Blue, Cheddar, Wensleydale with cranberries and a cracked black pepper with Cheddar (I think). I finished off a lovely Camembert last night,...

I loved it, and am not ashamed to say I shed a few tears. I agree that Natasha was probably better when mature. I still think there might have been more accomplished actresses out there to choose...

I'm loving it too. One of the few down notes is Natasha. I don't get the appeal of the actress. I'm loving Paul Dano and pretty much the rest of the cast. Rebecca Front played a blinder in the first...

I'm really liking it. However, the beeb has not served it well. It's been all over the place in the schedules. How on earth do they expect to gain a loyal audience when they can't give it a regular...

:eek2: Are you for real? :rofl:

Where's your evidence? As if a conspiracy of such magnitude could possibly succeed! I think Queen Elizabeth probably had more things to be worrying about than being...

I love Susan Hill, but The Woman in Black is the creepiest read ever... I read it a few Halloween's ago, and I always recommend it to others, who have loved it too, in a really pants-changing scary...

This is nonsense. Like Kasie I thought I wouldn't engage anymore with this but it makes me so mad that such utter rubbish is allowed to pass for truth. So Shakespeare is supposed to be an expert in...

It's half term for me too Paul, so that's a reason to be cheery :yesnod:. I'm feeling quite pleased as I've finally got some trees cut down in the garden which have been bugging me for ages. I had a...

I'm afraid our copy is on loan at the moment Scher :lol:. It is however very short, so you shouldn't have to wait too long. If you don't get hold of a copy soon, I can put ours on reservation for you...

I disagree with you about a few things here Mal. Byron was an infamous, even notorius figure of the movement, but you are playing down Wordsworth's role excessively. I agree he turned into an...

Yes, I have, and it's excellent. I have also read Arthur and George and thought it was a shame it did not win the Booker too. It was a beautifully structured book based on a true story concerning...

On the whole I prefer a bath, but when my boiler broke I was grateful for my shower. Likewise, when my shower broke, I was grateful for my bath. On hot days, or if I'm in a hurry, then it's a shower,...

1. Good sense of humour - I usually try to see the funny side of things.

2. Loyal and trustworthy - (I know that seems like 2, but I lump them together as I'm loyal to people and they know they...

No way! I love my evening bath, but I often doze off, (can you believe it:nod: ), and there's no way I'm ruining any of my books in the water. What I tend to do is listen to the radio, or more often...

Definitely Zola, and I like de Maupassant too.

:confused5: It's the standard arrangement over here. I don't religiously follow it number by sub-number for my own stuff, but by subject, so topics are loosely grouped together.

I love them both, but if I was pushed to only have to read one or the other, it would be Dickens. Prepare yourselves for an onslaught soon, as we will be celebrating the great man's bi-centenary, and...

As a Librarian, I tend to do them in pretty much the way I do at work, i.e. following the dewey decimal system for non-fiction, only more loosely. My fiction is put together in pretty much the same...

Actually, that's not the quote I was thinking of. It was Goebbels who said
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it". The "gonna" was purely my...

Just one word C***! That's a whopper of a lie, which is outrageous in its cheek. It seems to be founded on the (paraphrased) statement by Hitler (or was it Goebbels?) that if you're gonna tell a lie...

I saw that too Neely, although I have seen it before, as it was on a few years ago. I love Peter Ackroyd, although he may not be the most charismatic presenter! He writes so much about the greats of...

I saw it Kiki. I watched it as I saw her programme on the homes too. The presenter is historian Dr Lucy Worsley, and I like her programmes, they're good fun. I think she's the curator of the Royal...

I can only assume your tongue is wedged firmly in your cheek there. If not, then you must have inadvertently stumbled into the wrong forum, this being a literature one, or you know exactly what...

I managed to get to The Works last week, so got them there instead of on Amazon. I was embarrassingly excited to get the Iles, as you know I was after it for ages. I am currently reading that, along...

I know who I'd choose to fix my plumbing etc. So a boiler suit (overalls) denotes "negative" associations? I'm pretty sure that the plumber/electrician/decorator etc would instil more trust in me to...
