  1. Catching up with the second part of the Stephen Fry Hay Session from last month.
  2. I will look up most words I come across that I don't know if I can't figure out what they mean within the context of the sentence. It doesn't happen very often, and mainly with classics where words have fallen out of use. One of the reasons I hated Captain Corelli's Mandolin was that for the first half of the book there were so many words I didn't know and couldn't understand what the author was trying to say, so I looked up the words, to find most of them had been out of use for decades and that their meanings didn't actually make sense within the context of the sentence anyway. Can't really vote in the poll, as I fit somewhere between options 1 and 2
  3. Nor me Never have I ever drunk a Red Bull drink.
  4. Finished Martin Lukes: Who Moved My Blackberry? at lunchtime - will definitely be getting the next Lucy Kellaway novel which is in the 3 for 2 offer at Waterstone's at the moment. Very funny, I could really identify and recognise the rubbish spouting out of Martin's emails!
  5. What an odd coincidence - I saw that yesterday too. I rather enjoyed it as well. At home, I watched New Moon on blu-ray last night.
  6. It's wonderful! I saw it six times at the cinema, and have seen it countless times on video and DVD (I think I'd almost worn out my video by the time I switched over to DVD ). It definitely needs to have tissues to hand to wipe away the tears though.
  7. Guaranteed to make me cry I've just switched back to New Moon after watching Alan Carr Chatty Man
  8. I have. Never have I ever had measles.
  9. Isn't it at the top of your screen?
  10. Can we get back on topic?
  11. Kim, that sounds like a great idea! I hadn't thought of doing that, but I'm going to follow suit. I've got nothing planned for this week, so will easily be able to fit it in before Friday.
