  1. Hope it all went really well Muggles and you get an excellent report. Do let us know how you got on.
  2. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down ~ Joan Baez
  3. Oh och aye, I ken, but they'll be thinking you've had a dram too many laddie! Flailing your arms round like that and tripping over your feet.
  4. Muggle I can't even find the original start and rules of this game and they are not restated when a new Part is added. You probably remember the rules because you made them up, but I certainly didn't. There have been a lot of new people join since then, so they wouldn't know them either. Maybe you would like to start a new thread with the rules at the top and get this one locked.
  5. Heart Of Gold ~ Neil Young
  6. I've always treated this as a light-hearted fun game, not to be taken too seriously. If you make the rules too strict, you can get stuck in a corner with nowhere to go. I've always liked the creative and imaginative deviations. But I'm quite happy to follow the rules of the majority
  7. A bit of Viv with Nige Just look at the joy on his face when he plays this, never get tired of The Four Seasons.
  8. Unfortunately, Itsme couldn't understand a word and didn't realise it was not really suitable for polite company. He ran through his new repertoire at the top of his voice, rolling his r's with relish and punctuating every sentence with a .........
  9. Do you think we should have a poll and see what the majority want the rules to be?
  10. I promise, that was entirely unintentional!! I couldn't think of anything else about greengages. night
  11. 'You'll be much happier in there, I'm sure. Our library is well stocked and there's a nice fire going (it was winter and a cold dreary one at that). Just ring when you want a refill.' Itsme thought he was in heaven as he perused the shelves, chose a book and settled himself into a roomy old leather chair, book in one hand and cup of tea in the other. The book he'd chosen was ...........
  12. Yes, she was Itsme, and I loved An Angel At My Table too. She was a fascinating person, very shy and quite reclusive, although she travelled quite extensively. Have you read her autobiographical books? The film was directed by NZer Jane Campion who also directed The Piano.
  13. Stormy Weather ~ Billie Holiday
  14. If films made in NZ are considered foreign, I recommend ... The Piano Whale Rider Boy
  15. Can I just add one more to your TBV list Chrissy? I highly recommend Shine. David Helfgott, an Australian, was considered a child prodigy on the piano and studied to be a concert pianist. In his early 20's he began to show symptoms of schizoaffective disorder and ended up institutionalised for years. He later married a very supportive woman and still tours today. The adult David is played by Geoffrey Rush, who I think is a marvellous actor. One of my all time favourite movies. This is an excerpt from the film
  16. Neither have I. Never have I ever been in a girl fight
  17. Great review Claire, will keep my eye out for this, sounds excellent
  18. Stormbringer ~ Deep Purple
  19. lol Poetic licence Muggles. Didn't know about the not using artist name in title ....thought I was thinking outside the square Good song ^ ^ ^ Shelter From the Storm ~ Bob Dylan (another oldie but goodie)
