I've only recently started reading books which have been translated. This book forum has a lot to answer for! I'm in the middle of Gabriel Garcia Marquez at work, Haruki Murakami at home, and I read Le Grand Meaulnes by Alain-Fournier last year. The latter, I loved. Sad, romantic, poignant. I...

Wouldn't forget a name like wkdblueeyes :) Welcome back. Third Man Girl

You tempt me. Both of you. You know that, don't you? mortals, melancholy, mystic, mastery Third Man Girl

GRRRRRR :mad: I'm gonna twist your little scut till it HURTS :eek: Third Man Girl

Oh God! I feel all faint. My favourite ever film. The mountains, the trees. the rivers, the waterfall, the DRUMBEAT, horses, romantic suicides (?), passion, loyalties, valour, Cora's beautiful eyes, the son who fell to his death, the dignity of the father, Hawkeye's nose . . . Hawkeye's nose . ...

Oh Ashlea. You are scaring me. Seriously. I suspect you have all been reading me wrong. When I say I don’t understand poetry, it is not false modesty. I achieved Higher English at school and dropped out of Sixth Year Studies (final year). I didn’t go to University. My memories of Robert Burns...

Oh. Wow! Tell us more ;) *Unhand me, you brute* Thwack Third Man Girl

If there was, you would know it :cool: ;) :cool: ;) Third Man Girl

Huh! That womaniser! Cad, bounder, libertine, philanderer . . . :cool: Third Man Girl

Haudit and Doddit Litany, do you want to 'Haud' him, while I 'Dod' him ? :) *Loosely translated as 'Hold' him while I 'Whack' him on the head with a stupendously large carrot.* [Frog, Toad and Tiny Tadpole admirer] :) Third Man Girl

I like it, Liv. A poem, a story, which rises and drops and lifts with a happy ending. Reminds me of a little boy who found his father's old violin, in a dusty attic, long after his father had walked out the door. But that's a whole other story . . . Anyway. That's why I liked it! :) Third...

Because it doesn't give such cheerful answers :) (or offer tempting carrots ;) ) Third Man Girl

Most of my thoughts come to me at inconvenient moments. When I’m driving. Or when I’m in the shower. But I’d better not mention the shower again. :) :o shhhhhhhhh! The Others might be listening :o Show-off ;) Answer A: They’re voyeurs. They’re loving it :D Answer B: Swoon :o...

Stop it! You're making me all tingly again :o :) Third Man Girl

Thank you, Wabbit. And you would do well to heed Tugger's words. Lady Samurai conceal six-inch daggers up their sleeves: I am now armed and dangerous :eek: Third Man Girl

Philip Gabriel ??? Third Man Girl

I'll be a lady Samurai Warrior :) Unhand me, you brute! Third Man Girl

Oh, don't ask me to do that North/South thing. I'm FEMALE for God's sake. Keep the sun on your back, and the moss on the left side of the trees. Look for a garden with three trees, one nest, several batboxes. Stop flapping your wings and LAND GENTLY. Don't worry about the bats - they're...

Try harder :mad: :) Where's Litany? she usually does a good job of keeping you in your place :D Third Man Girl

Lovely, apart from the wet pants. I know you're talking about trousers, but for a British reader, 'wet pants' doesn't work. Surprised Wabbit didn't mention it, but then Wabbits don't wear pants - or trousers ;) Third Man Girl
