Hello all!

My luck is not with me... a week chock-full of sport... and just as i am recovering from the excruciating pains of stiffness... I play basketball without a shirt on and cannot lie on my back... I have a pink tan-line just half-way down my chest because I have been bending over...

(don't worry... I'm a guy so u didn't miss anything)

Morning, all. Thanks for the Scotch, DK, it was greatly appreciated. Just put it on my tab. Good morning, everybody.

Sorry guys, but I feel I must comment on this:

Originally posted by WillowIX: Edit: Horatio, isn´t that particular book called The Very Hungry Catipillar? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

My statement was promoting the quality of a book called The Hungry Hungry Catipillar. It was a serious argument, and yet all you have done is brushed it aside with a quick quip. I feel I must step in to defend the author (their name escapes me). This book has exactly what a good book needs:

1) A character with depth- the catippilar will always go for certain food. This shows the character's preference to certain foods than to others, as well as his independence in the fact that he will not accept food from some characters. Maybe he was scarred at a young age and now strives to prove himself?

2) A easy-to-understand storyline- He wants food, he goes out to get it. This catipillar knows what he wants, and knows how to get it. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who had tears come into they're eyes as I admired the bravery

3) Twists in the plot- Who knew what kind of food would come next? I had to read all the way to the end just to quench my desire for knowledge.

4) A satifying end- The catipillar turns into a butterfly. What can be more beutiful or uplifting?

As you can see, a great novel, and maybe one that we can all learn from. If humanity as a whole strives and works together, maybe we'll all reach our goals someday?

Oh, and as for the name: It is possible that due to European-American translation, the name was changed? If this is not the case, I apoligise; obviously my knowledge of literature for the under 5 age group is not as well toned as yours, Willow [img]tongue.gif[/img]

LOL! Hello everyone! Work is busy, again! I won't be in much more than a few minutes here and there for a few weeks during the day.

Callum, that sounds painful! Put some aloe vera gel on it, it will help make it feel cooler!

Horatio- So does this caterpillar have a name? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Of course not. That'd totally destroy the mysterious atmosphere surrounding him, wouldn't it?

[WillowIX]

OK Horatio The Very Hungry Catipillar by Eric Carle is standing in the children´s books shelf for Jackie to read. As do The Grouchy Ladybug and The Mixed-up chameleon. [img]tongue.gif[/img] And no, I doubt that I have read them, unless I´ve read them out loud for Jackie when she was a tad younger. They´re not her favourites though. Her current fav is Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne (of course. )

[Elif Godson]

I have had my fair share of Saki thank you very much. I have even been lectured on it's health bebfits by my friend's Father, granted he said this while drooling on himself Now just read your original post but read it with a different view point, something more like mine and then you may, just may see it how I saw it but then again......
