I can't believe I've missed fc123 again!
I've now finished the frankie boyle book. Moving onto this:
Should be a happy start to 2011 eh?
I'm sure when this one is done there'll be a jack the ripper fest for a couple of months.
How the devil is everyone? I have the delight of being at work...It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -
Pastures, what's wrong with Ilfracombe? Various one-bed flats to rent for £350 pcm (can probably bargain them down a bit).
Sorry about the arm. Artex on ceilings looks nice IMHO. On a wall, it's just stooopid.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

Yeah, didn't like that book. Basically, it said nothing you could actually use. Just touchy feely american pop psychology.
I thought pasturesnew was going to buy a little converted van, and go gypsie.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

I don't want to tell anyone not to read a book, because in my experience people get different stuff out of them... in my case, I couldn't finish it, I just gave it away. That's very rare.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Didn't like it lj, sorry. I like books about how people think, but prefer Six Thinking Hats:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Six-Thinking-Hats-Edward-Bono/dp/0141033053/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1293827942&sr=8-1
I also find Howard Gardener more interesting, though there is much argument against his multiple intelligence theories too. Basically it says different people are clever in different ways. This is one of his books:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Frames-Mind-Theory-Multiple-Intelligences/dp/000686290X/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1293828229&sr=8-7Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.
