If you like Johnny Depp that much, have you ever watched '21 Jump Street'? It was a TV series way back in the early 90's. I used to watch it very Sunday night on Sky one with my best friend from school. Johnny Depp, yummy!!

I can't seriously get away with saying I'm 21, 26 is just about viable!! Besides, I really enjoyed being 26, it was a good year for me

There used to be one on the London Underground, where a little girls ragdoll got caught on the bottom of the escalator. It totally freaked me out as I used to have to go to London once a month with my Mum. She never did understand why I was so scared of the escalator!!
I was telling my niece the other day about the one with the frisbe and the electricity pylon, she looked at me like I was talking another language!!

It doesn't take much these days to make me blub!!
'Tuesday's with Morrie' and 'Five people you meet in heaven' were both amazing and I cried because I loved them so.
'Hannah's Gift' because it was such a heartbreaking mother's story.
I loved being moved to that extent by a book, although I love films, i think it's so much more powerfull to be moved by someones words and your own imagination.

I have the complete set of Ally McBeal, I know, sad single female!! I also have various CSI box sets but the original one set in Vegas is my favorite. Although I do have to admit to having a crush on Gary Sinise(?)who plays Mac in CSI New York.

Thank you Mia! I'm not going mad then?!
Didn't they also sing "You'll never put a better bit of butter on your knife"

I tell everyone that I'm 26, it's a little white lie I've been telling people for quite some time now! I seriously have to think before giving my age as I have a tendancy to forget it..... it must be my age!!

My district manager told me I worked too hard and needed to get a hobby!! I decided on a book club as I love reading but i wasn't brave enough to go out to the real world and discover one, so i Googled it!! There's plenty out there but when reading through this one, it seemed so friendly and had a sense of community about it. So I'm still here and I still work too hard!!

Hello and welcome Smint!

Does anyone remember the CountryLife butter ad's from way back? There used to be men made from butter that would come to life from the tub and sing and dance like morris men?! Reading that back makes it sound crazy I know, but Im sure it was for real!!

I'd like to think generally 1, 2 and 3. On a good day, and with all my brain cells working at their best, maybe 4!
Sometimes I listen to music when reading, so when I next here that particular song I remember the book I was reading at the time. It's not always a good thing when the book wasn't that great though!

Hi Matt, and welcome from another newbie!!

Homemade Lasagne and salad tonight. I was going to make apple crumble but I got in late from work so I don't think I'm up for the task tonight. Maybe tomorrow?

It you give up on a book too early, you might miss out on something good. You never know, it might turn out to be a decent read! If it does turn out to be no good, at least you'll know to avoid the same author in future.

Hi, I'm Boo and I'm new!!
I feel a bit like its the first day at school all over again!
I was looking for something fun and interesting to do and having read some of your threads I think I just found what i was looking for. I love reading, always have and always will. I'm happy to read most things as I feel once I've started a book it would be rude not to finish it!!
Lee Child
in Crime / Mystery / Thriller

My sister lent me a Lee Child book a few months ago. Can't remember what it was called, the story involved a serial killer that targeted former female soldiers, and the FBI were involved.
Enjoyed the book well enough and have bought my sister a couple of his other books as she loved it and it was so different from her ususal choices.
Having read some of the comments here, I think I would be tempted to read some of the early Jack Reacher books, but I don't think it's something I should overload on!!!!!
