I drove my mum mad by constantly borrowing a film called "Benjy" about a lost dog taking care of some puma kittens. She was so fed up of it!Fiona1986 wrote:We used to borrow videos from the local shop but also the library. I think we always took the same ones from the library - I remember borrowing one of the Little Mermaid sequels quite a few times which was a bone of contention because my younger sister was scared of the evil ray creature in it. She was scared of just about everything though so there were always arguments about what to rent/borrow.
A scratched DVD is no better than a dodgy video sometimes!
I'd say it's worse, at least you could try and mend a duff video, you can't do anything with a dvd that skips in places.
I'm surprised at that too, and also why all of the short stories centered around Christmas weren't put together in one edition in the same style as the Bedside or Holiday books. An "Enid Blyton's first/second/third Christmas Book" type of thing. Maybe Christmas specials of things weren't done then? A pity if so as that would be so enjoyable to read from mid November onwards and I imagine would have sold well.GloomyGraham wrote: I've been surprised in some of my other re-readings that there doesn't seem to be a particularly Christmas story for many, which is funny when she wrote a couple of Bonfire Night stories for the SS. You'd think almost every one of her popular series might have a Christmas story.
