What is it about Earl Grey that makes it taste like that? You either love it or hate it (I'm the latter). I thought there was a particular ingredient in its content that made it taste so different from other black teas. And also, what's 'Lady Grey'?

That's exactly why I love For Better or For Worse - it hits reality on the head!

Yes, I agree. I'm just thinking about some of the errors I've made assuming people online are a sex opposite to what I thought they were. When I find out, it's shocking/surprising/amusing, and really changes the way I think about them. Should it? That's another question. I can only tell you that...

There's something about the 'concept' of tea that I just adore. It gets me motivated and makes me knuckle down to work. I've only recently started drinking it in the last 2 years after coffee and I began to have disagreements. I think it has something to do with percolated coffee, which is all I...

I agree. I only searched because I figured we were at a stalemate and I actually thought you'd found the right answer! I was seriously questioning my Googling 'skills'! :p Okay, here's your next one. I think it's a good one. "My life seems unreal, My crime an illusion, A scene badly...

Yeah, but I cheated and Googled it.

I missed your post a few days ago, ds. I'm surprised at what you said, but it's a very good point. Perhaps we need to remember that this was Kay's first book and he was stuck in cliche'ville for the first book as so many writers are? I'll give your post some thought before I say any more...

I have no idea where you got that from. The only band I can find via Google is 'Judy and Mary' and they're from Japan, I think. Something to do with anime. WoundedThorns - can you give us the answer you're looking for here?

Sorry, Stewart, I meant to say 'stories'. She produced a magazine for 27 years called 'Sunny Stories' which probably accounted for a lot of these. Other publications also carried her stories and columns. You're right - about 600 actual books. The number is still staggering. From the ABC Shop...

I found that it wasn't until I travelled outside of Australia that I realised how much I didn't know about my own country, and how much more of it I wanted to see. I returned for a year after an 18 month stint in Canada and took a trip up to Kakadu, which I'm not sure I would have bothered to do...

To clarify, these are denim overalls, are they not? There's a number of British people looking at you *very* oddly right now.

Oh, Moto. You've clearly done your job! Mission accomplished! Especially after the last sentence there... I've never heard it referred to as that before! Do you ever wonder what some of the stains in library books are? The really suspiciously crusty ones... ?

I just adored the very last Calvin and Hobbes comic strip. I think it really captured what they were all about. I also admire Watterson for never capitalising on his characters in terms of merchandise. I get mad whenever I see one of those Calvin peeing stickers on the back of cars. That's not...

I started reading fantasy with Feist too! I just adored Magician. The book series I read after that was David Eddings' The Belgariad series (the first book is Pawn of Prophecy). Getting through the prologue was a bit of a struggle, but after you've read the first chapter or two I think you'll...

Welcome, ScarlO! Do you mean is the forum reading a particular book or what are we, as individuals reading? Personally, I'm trying to plug on through Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel still, but it's slow going with only time for a chapter a night right now. There is also a Book of the Month thread...

Hell yeah! That's when I'll actually be able to get some reading done and post something book-related. At the moment TBF is more my relaxation when I take a research break.

No worries :).

As for me, my home is Australia and always will be. I'm going home in less than 2 months and I can barey contain my excitement. I've lived in Canada for 3.5 of the last 4.5 years, and I'm ready to settle down and plant some roots in my home country. I won't be living in the state I love, but...

Stay overnight in LA and it'll make the trip a lot easier on you! Most flights leave around 10 or 11pm, so it's at the kids natural bed time. Wear them out during the day and then dress them in their pajamas for the flight and treat it like normal sleep time. If you fly Qantas they'll be...

It could be explained in the start of the next film. Was it even mentioned in TGOF book? Because recall Ron was suddenly being given gifts from the twins and didn't know where the money was coming from. I thought that Harry had kept that a secret from everyone (except, of course, the twins). Did...
