    If it was vice versa and your brother was taking your book it would lead to people questioning his sexuality.
    Kind of crazy really.

    Well no one was questioning my sexuality for reading his..I think that if my parents had looked at the book before buying it, they would have questioned either of our intelligence for wanting to read it!

    On the same topic (kinda), I remember around the same time my dad bought me the Judy Blume booke Forever, without reading it...and it was about this kids losing their virginity! So I told my brother & of course I never saw that book again :p

    I am not Irish and only moved here a few years ago, so when I saw these books at Eason's, I was quite appalled. Interesting to hear they must have been around for quite some time. I know my mother had some books similar to that pink one you describe, but that was in the 50s...
    Btw, I can fully sympathise with wanting the blue book instead. I was always more interested in my (male) cousin's little cowboy/red indian set with horses, carriages, casinoes etc. than in my doll house. My cousin asked my mother to get me a set too, but she openly refused to. Not for her daughter, oh no...
    :(

    Yeah I mean I had my My Little Ponys but I really loved reading Famous Five and Nancy Drew - that girl was amazing. Although I felt sorry for Bess because she was the pudgy, struggling with her weight, always on a diet girl, as was mentioned in every novel. Moral? Don't be like Bess...arrgh!! The pressure!!

    While my brothers only worry was saving the universe from the Decepticons and Darth Vadar :pac: Oh the Adventure books by Wilbur Smith were great as well.

    Just on Disney, I was having a nostalgia moment a few days ago & looked up the Muppets on the Disney website. The only thing I could find was a link to buy a Muppets t-shirt and photos of Hannah f**king Montana screaming out at me!! Talk about lowering the standards! 80s kids had it best, no question.
