I've got firefox somewhere but don't tend to use it as it's very slow I'll give it a try tho.

Hi LS! I suspect it's cos I am using an older version of IE .. I'll try it on firefox. It's still readable like this but not easily.

Heh hi Anita I am having some display problems which I suspect might be due to using an elderly browser but I will try to do an upgrade.

Not sure if anyone's mentioned this before as I've been away but the display is not working for me .. everything is gray and all the texts are overlapping. Sometimes it shows as it should but most of the time it isn't .. do I have a browser problem?

I will spare you all the tragic tales of my computer and connection woes but anyway, here I am .. again. And as when I came to the site on this computer it logged me in as Moose automatically, Moose I am again . But I don't know what the password is *looks tragic*

I've never seen either adaptation but I really must do so :) I am nearly at the end of Restaurant, but I haven't actually picked it up for a while. I like it and it's fun and well written but it's the sort of thing I can only handle in small doses I think :). I can't explain why too well .. it reall...

I don't think I've read Five on a Secret Trail .. there are at least two and possibly three FF books I've not read and that one does not ring any bells with me. I remember twins featuring in Five on Finniston Farm tho .. fraternal twins. I was quite disillusioned when i realised that it's not actual...

The guy who is near me collects for charity, though my next door neighbour was grumbling to me that he had 'never done a day's work in his life'. I do wonder how on earth he can afford the electricity in that case .. it must cost an absolute fortune. But I like to see it nonetheless.

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful day Me and the cats are just relaxing with a drink and a copy of LOTR. Have actually managed to stick to my diet today which I am very impressed with myself about!

argh I just type a long reply and it got eaten . I don't have time to retype it .. will try again tomorrow.

Ming, belated happy birthday! I am so sorry that i missed it, I hvae been massively preoccupied lately with moving house. Do you want a belated birthday party on EF?

I remember my 13th birthday .. I was on the first day of a school trip to France; one of only two times I have been abroad in my life.

Oh I dunno, I would hope that Darrell and Claudine would have got along well, even though the latter didn't - shock horror - like sports . I love the fact that there is a popular character who isn't in the lacrosse or hockey team *rolls eyes*

I noticed that a reference to spanking had been removed from my modern edition of Last Term at Malory Towers. It's not yet illegal here in the UK but it's definitely not PC

That said, I can't help thinking that Blyton went rather too far with her continual references to corporal punishment.

My nephew just got bought a hamster for his birthday. I don't normally like very small rodents - I am not scared of them but I just find them a bit pointless - but I have to say that this is rather sweet . Predictably, he's called it Hammy *rolls eyes*

I am envious .. I'd love to have gone on a trip like that . As to Burma I am hoping for a good outcome but .. well it all seems to be rather hanging in the balance
