Re: Your first week's wages..

I've earned some small cash through online freelancing, but I feel as if I'm blinkered and can't even use it to spend on online games I like.

Not that I'd spend it all.

Re: Day trip with Enid

Somehow I don't think we'd like each other very much if we met. Awful tempers and my tendency to be socially awkward. She might not mind my brother though.

Re: The monkeys are out to get us!

The Journey to the West in turn is a fictional record of a real monk's quest to retrieve religious scriptures from India, around the time Buddhism spread to China. As for the monkeys, some monkeys stole and broke the sugarcane my dad planted for our own use. They ate bits of it and threw the leftove...

Re: Series 'Crossovers' (Secret Seven's Slippery Slip)

On a related topic, how many references to pop culture were made in her works? Summer Term at St. Clare's mentions that a class snail is named Dopey, after the dwarf in Disney's Snow White. That's the only reference I found to the pop culture of Blyton's time, unless there are others that went over ...

Re: What Are You Doing Now?

Sign language?

Testing a new internet connection after months of not knowing whether my mother will upgrade it. She's a bit behind the times techwise, took the upgrade because of a recent discount.

Enid Blyton Multiverse

Merged with an older thread. It seems that some of Blyton's works were linked to each other in some way. From browsing these forums, I learned that St. Clare's and Galliano's Circus were linked briefly in the first St. Clare's book, which I haven't gotten around to reading. There's a Pink-Whistle s...

Why did the class in Third Year cheer for Darrel when she didn't make the reserve list for lacrosse?

June since she happened to be in the swimming pool, although she disliked Amanda's bossy way of training her.

Re: Guess the Book from the Blurb

The title was a mistake, I meant Last Term at Malory Towers.

If it's not, then is it The Second Form at Malory Towers?

Re: What Are You Doing Now?

Still seeking work as a freelancer. Now that I have some experience, I know what sort of jobs to avoid.

(The kind that ask for very cheap articles at 1 pound apiece!)

Re: Can We Do a Limerick Together???

George and Timmy went out for a run,
But it was hot in the noon day sun.
So they slowed to a trot,
But they still got so hot
That they found it not very fun.

Re: What Are You Doing Now?

I am Buddhist myself. Recently read an opinion piece in a local paper about the Charlie Hebdo attacks. The contributor felt that it was wrong to mock any religion or ethnic background, though it was fine to make fun of other things. There's also a stormy bunch of opinions about some Muslim groupies ...
