Ah, I've read those. Love 'em



Ya really don't wanna know...there's an endless amount of stages! But y'know prehistoric art - all those sun symbols and things you see, kids all over the world all go through the stage of drawing those in nearly the same way, which I thought was pretty cool tbh.

You're a teacher though, you're supposed to like the classics

Yeah....cool

Classics in primary teaching college are Farmer Duck, Under the Hawthorn Tree and a whole load of giant picture books...so pfft I say to you!

I just like books, always have. College has stopped me reading though

Flashbacks to Under the Hawthorn Tree! Those were the days

Don't forget Ann & Barry - outstanding reading

I think Ann & Barry was a bit before my time, but I'll take your word for it!

I LOVED 1984
Very much
Gatsby I read and thought it was ok but I suspect I may have to give it another go

I really liked Gatsby. I'm going to put 1984 on my list after I finish the 5th book in the Song of Ice and Fire series. Loving my kindle at the moment!

Job, I loved Animal Farm when I read it and meant to read more of his stuff but I'm shocking for reading....so trying to catch up now and read some good, recommended books.

Reading a book twice thought....lunacy!

I've read my favourite books til the covers fell off
Why would you not!

Totally agree, if I love a book I will read it again and again. Maybe once a year or every two years. I loved one book so much though that I'm afraid to read it again in case it doesn't live up to what I remember

'The Shadow of the Wind' in case anyone is wondering...first read it 5 years ago.

Because there's no end to the possible other books you could be reading....I feel like there's a relationship simile to be found somewhere in this conversation :pac:

I'm reading Michael Caines autobiography atm.

That must be hard to do without having his voice in your head while reading?

I used to read loads, but then I started reading comics and playing my 3DS at times when I could be reading books. Though I'm currently about halfway through Dexter is Delicious.

Panthro

The next cnut that makes a snide remark regarding me being Irish I swear to fcuk I'll go for the little runt.

Jesus, I'm learning racism in this God forsaken spot.

Anywhos, roll on the weekend!

Liam McPoyle

Goddamn Irish,coming over here,terkin er jerbs eh.


:pac:

Panthro

I'm not your guy, buddy!
I'm not your buddy, friend!
I'm not your friend, guy!

Pack a benders.

Liam McPoyle

My brother is half way through his second 1 year stint in Vancouver and never got any negative comments.

Then again he is a very angry man so maybe that's part of the reason why..

Panthro

Yeah, perhaps I should have been a bit more like him.
When I first came here I just laughed off any BS aimed at me.
It's becoming very clear that I'm seen as the pushover now, I'll be leaving here in a few months, reckon I'll bow out in a blaze of glory, by effing a few of them from a height (My plan is to stand up on the roof and start shouting you see!):pac:

GalwayGuy2

I love reading books more than once. I always think I remember everything and then I get a shock when I'm surprised by something, or when I notice foreshadowing, or when I relive the awesomeness of a moment:)

CastorTroy

Panthro, is it true their heads come apart when talking? Due South taught me Canadians are all friendly.

Maybe just call them Uncle Fcukers

After a brilliant weekend I got up this morning to the news I have been hoping to see for a while:

A few of you may know I went on a strict fitness/weight loss regime there a few weeks before xmas - well as of this morning I have lost a grand total of 2 stone and 4 lbs!! (and dropped from 26% to 12% body fat!!) BOO YA!!

I'm a happy camper today!!

That's really impressive man - especially the body fat reduction you've had there - 12% is really lean!

Well done and keep up the good work you've been putting in
