    Sartre is miserable. Avoid if poss. Read something happy. Hector's Search for Happiness is far better.

    The Tao of Pooh and Tae of Piglet - very upbeat, particularly pg. 144 on purchasing shoes.

    I was a kid when i heard about breaking glass. but it was one of those films that changed my life.

    The Specials - they made my dad cross, I grew up in Birmingham we had race riots. I loved them they kicked A** back.

  • How do you feel about animal testing?

    I hate the thought of it.:o

    Like everyone else though, i do think that i have a moral dilemma where it is concerned.Particularly if they find a cure for diabetes or other diseases. It is a hard one to come to terms with.

    My favourite tutor of all time looked like Humphrey Bogart but i couldn't as i loved him like my dad. He totally rocked. He was just like Indy Jones and i used to have terrible/academic/personal arguments with him that lasted for ages. He is still changing the world every day. Actually all my lecturers in all my universities were like this. Just realised. That's why i love Firewalker she is like them and i love her. She makes MSE safe.

    One of the most moving films of my childhood was How Green Was My Valley.

    I used to like Heidi.

    I also used to read all the Enid Blyton books- i was a fan of The famous five and Mallory Towers.

    Mr.Pink Whistle Kicked a**

    The Magic Faraway tree was also one of my favs..which is why i probably liked -The lion The Witch and The wardrobe:D I think my tastes were honed early on. As i read Lord of The Rings after that.
    I never found out that they moved in the same literary circles until my teens.
    I am also a fan of Oscar Wilde as well..I love 'The Canterville Ghost,' now that is a wonderful take on society. Well most of his plays were..:rotfl:

    My favourite tutor looked like Donald Pleasance..he was brilliant, witty and caring. If you didn't pass on his course, he would take it upon himself to give extra tuition and would always find ways to make the impossible possible. He was great.

    EEEEK i agree with all but Oscar Wilde. I am afraid i didn't really read any of his books but i have watched some quite a few films. He was an amazing guy. Had some great one liners. I was trolled by one not too long ago. At least he could read!
