    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    I'm one of those people that can watch a movie or read a book, know I loved it and still forget everything about it. I owned Three Colours Red on VHS, definitely watched the other two at the time!

    I'd like to watch those again, thanks :D

    I’m the same as you- it’s as if I never saw these movies unless I try to recall them. I remember years ago I was spotting random marks in library books until I found out that forgetful people mark the books at specific points (e.g page 23 line 37) so they can identify what they’ve read before. Viva probably knows al about this

    Gorgeous, gorgeous piccies....he is beautiful.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    I thought he had that take it all in look, like he should have a career in law as he gets older, unlike his older brother, who will be a brilliant polymath, but choose a career as a paleontologist.

    Stunning pics, gorgeous boy.
    Please 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.

    People do strange things to library books. I make a point of not buying books that have questions in as people write in the answers. For the most part they realise it's a library book so do it in pencil. That's better than pen, but they fail to consider how long it takes for a member of staff to go through the book and rub them all out again.

    The bizarrest thing though is what people use as bookmarks. We've had toilet roll (thankfully unused), numerous family pictures, banknotes, important documents such as unused flight tickets, prescriptions, a kipper and a processed cheese slice in the time I've been there. And that's just the stuff that gets left in books. Heaven only knows what's already been taken out.

    Was the kipper a smoked fish or an elected representative from a dodgy political party?

    I know which I'd rather find.:eek:

    Our new neighbours are using a microphone to make a speech in their 4 bed semi. He likes talking, a lot.

    How annoying.... peasants. I always pity neighbours of X-Factor contestants :)
