Thanks Muggle. My head is still spinning :D .

The Inheritance of Loss - Kiran Desai Kalooki Nights - Howard Jacobson The Emperor's Children - Claire Messud Some Hope - Edward St.Aubyn Mother's Milk - Edward St.Aubyn Brighton Rock - Graham Greene

tundra, that is the million dollar question, no idea what the difference is or even if there is, but in my experience there is a difference in price. Perhaps it's just that flats are always spread across one floor whereas apartments can sometimes have split levels? Vesper : :p Lady...

Thank you Vesper, I'm waiting for the chocolate box (I like anything with nuts). Tundra, It would depend on which part of London, the more central you are/more closer to the river the expensiver (is that a word?) it will be. Plus if something is being advertised as an apartment rather than...

Peronel, thank you for the reply, I may just take another look at some abstract paintings and see if I can view them in a different light. Aqua, the paintings in your links look more like photos don't they? Whilst I didn't find them all that appealing I can certainly appreciate the...

Darn! :( ...*walks off in a huff*:D

Vesper, I like Monet too, not all that keen on Renoir though. I think abstract art can be interesting, but I don't really find it as powerful as some people do, perhaps Peronel will be kind enough to educate us to its merits. Baddie & Muggle, aww..that's lovely, how nice to have artists in...

:eek: God darn it tundra, you know I love that car, you give me back those keys..oi! Come back! Noooooooo....

:D Only if you promise not to wreck it...I don't want a single petal scratched, ok?

Here ya go Vesper, look I even put some sprinkly thingies in it, sorry it's a bit melted though... tundra, you mean THIS isn't it? :D

No need for the sorry. I think the spam was to blame :o . Thanks for the link Shade, I suppose now is the time to delurk and sign up to Palimpsest.

Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura?

See Vesper, I'm here...:p

Hello yourself stranger. The randomness thread? How rude of me ...I'll head that way now. You're good at this. Of course I would...why on earth wouldn't I? Cloning, progressive science or potential disaster for mankind?

Ok so which quote are we supposed to be guessing? ...please say the Porpoise one..I so know the porpoise one...

Pink. I can't think of a question....so...how many fingers am I holding up?

Ooh thanks Blueboatdriver, just in time for a trip to the bookshop tomorrow. Black Swan Green, was Radio 4's 'Book at Bedtime' a little while back, it didn't really inspire me to go and read it for myself. The only other one I've heard of is Theft: A love story, which is languishing...

Aqua, yes his paintings do have an unconventional beauty - but that doesn't make it clear to me why he is your favourite :D . I'd agree that the colours are indeed vivid and his talent is unique. It's interesting how we 'connect' with certain paintings/art pieces. Appolonia, That I can...

I hadn't really considered reading Unconsoled yet, An Artist of the Floating World was next on my list. A Pale View from the Hills - It wasn't so much that I had difficulties in reading it, (in fact I loved every sentence) it was just that it made a huge impact on me. I kept thinking about...

But of course, I thought it was obligatory (the Martin Amis thread is a favourite lurking spot). I'm a member at way too many forums, but I'm currently making the effort to cut down, so I only post here, the Fallout Shelter and the Hellhole. Most of the forums I've cut down from are...
