  7. That is so rude and inconsiderate, some people heads are in the clouds aren't they?, I hope it improves, you are more patient than me Slightly off topic, I used to get a bus to work and every morning a woman got on the stop after mines and every morning she would complain to the driver about him being late by 2 minutes, she stopped doing it after it was pointed out to her that she is making herself and others late by standing there moaning!
  8. Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen ~ Started: 10.03.10 ~ Finished: 18.03.10 Synopsis ~ Orphaned, penniless Jacob Jankowski jumps a freight train in the dark, and in that instant, transforms his future. By morning, he's landed a job with the Flying Squadron of the Benzine Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. By Nightfall, he's in love. In an America made colourless by prohibition and the Depression, the circus is a refuge of sequins and sensuality. But behind the glamour lies a darker world, where both animals and men are dispensable. Where falling in love is the most dangerous act of all... 'Water for Elephants' was recommended to me by two friend of mines, Claire and Kelly and it took me awhile to get around to buying it and eventually reading it, so thank you Claire and Kelly for the recommendation because (and believe me it deserves the capital letters) I LOVE THIS BOOK, I have never been so engrossed in a story since 'A Wild Sheep Chase' by Haruki Murakami and have never loved a character more than Jacob Jankowski, the story is told brilliantly, visually stunning, you can imagine the sights and sounds of the circus, Rosie the elephant, the main heroine of the story, is described so well and despite the fact she is a elephant she will always be a beloved character for me, she is shown in a way that despite her size she is delicate, loving, funny and stubborn. As mentioned the characters are written well, it feels effortless to read them, you feel the love that authors has for her characters and you will share it because in their own way they are all amazing people and animals, the story of the circus is told from a historical point of view, many of the tales shared in the story actually happened in various circuses (one example being, the lion and a dishwasher hiding together under a sink). An amazing story of love, courage and how much circuses were a part of American history. Read as soon as possible and I know I will read it again and again. Rating: 10/10
  9. Thanks chrysalis_stage, I know what you mean and thank you
  10. Thanks hen! and happy NM trailer watching!
  11. Oh yeah there is something creepy about those jeans and the man with the torch looking at the jeans ~ creepy denim!
  12. I love the advert for train travel with the plastic figures at London Zoo looking at the lions and they gasp and the Dad figure covers the eyes of the son figure I hate the 'Just for men' advert, I'm sorry, I seriously doubt that Just for men makes you so super cool that you in fact ~ Meet a woman Get a job Need more ties Also if you use 'Just for men', according to the advert you have really annoying daughters who seem to be ruling you (and are badly dubbed!)
  13. I am sitting here thinking Fi, I don't need that keyring
  14. I agree chrysalis_stage, I am no manner of saint but if I ask someone how they are, I wait to hear what they have to say because sometimes people just need an opening and sometimes, a simple 'how are you?' opens an dialogue. I am being very mean here, so please forgive me for mentioning my parents again, I remember the same person ask me countless times over the days after my Da passed, I never got a chance to answer because he walked away, of course he assumed that I was not great but he could have let me speak, I ended up losing my temper with him (for my forever shame), when he asked me how I was? and before he walked away, I said to him that I felt like cac and I missed my Da. Hope that makes some sense.
  15. Sparkly New Moon Edward and a New Moon keyring
