Re: What Enid Blyton book are you reading right NOW!
I love Island and Castle , even though Valley and Sea are my favourites. I agree about the scene with the rising water in Island - it's unforgettable. For me, the most shocking thing that Blyton's child characters ever do is swim through flooded tunnels where the water comes up to the roof - someti...

Re: Abba
It's on at 1pm Anita. There was another programme on Sunday night too, which is repeated 9pm this Thursday and also on their catch up, with Tim Rice counting down the top ten most important dates in Abba's history. That was also very enjoyable and quite interesting too. I learnt a few things about t...

Re: What makes you happy?
That second image is available as a jigsaw. I love these vintage pictures and I do a lot of jigsaws so I like seeking out ones with images like this.

Re: Abba
Boom radio are currently celebrating 50 years of Abba and have got an Abba chart on Saturday made up of listeners votes. I'm hoping for some of the rarer songs to have made the list and be played .

Re: What Are You Doing Now?
So I woke up this morning to find that the people staying in the big house next door that's been converted into holiday homes had been too lazy to walk a car's width across their drive to their dustbins and dumped all their rubbish in my bin :evil: . Sandwich packaging, crisp bags, pop and water bot...

Re: Pets
Lovely to see that Beauty and Ginge are doing well Bertie, but it's a shame they're hunting everything in your garden! I like cats but their hunting instinct is their definite downside for me. Last weekend we had three adults staying in, all at least half the size of a normal cat, with the smallest ...

Re: Up the Faraway Tree - £400 for a copy dust jacket?!
Yes, sorry Judith I didn't realise my title wasn't very clear. The jacket is a copy that's why I was so shocked at the price. Had it been a real dust jacket I wouldn't have thought it so expensive (though it's obviously not exactly cheap), but for a copy jacket it seems very overpriced. Then again I...

Re: James Bond
I love James Bond but like everything the older ones are better. I don't like them from Die Another Day onwards and have no interest in the Daniel Craig ones whatsoever. I don't see him as Bond at all. Do you have a fave Bond? Roger Moore Who would be your top three Bond actors? I don't think anyone...

Re: Up the Faraway Tree - £400 for a copy dust jacket?!
Blimey it seems this book is super pricey with or without a dust jacket (though I still think £400 is an awful lot for a book with a copy jacket). Is there any particular reason why it is such an expensive title given it's not one of Enid's sought after proper novels? I have got a copy, I paid £10 f...

Re: Journal 81
I would consider buying that if it wasn't for the fact I have most of 1958 already and only need another 6 magazines. That would be a very expensive way of getting them :lol:. Being bound in a book would make me hesitate though, I bought some bound like that once to get certain issues and had a much...

Sorry this is dragging up an old journal thread but I'm reading my way through it and missed this article before. Helen - if you are still looking for one I can let you know of an extremely good book binder that certainly will repair Enid Blyton books (your other one was not worth using and I'd have...

Re: What Are You Doing Now?
That's quite frightening if these videos on YouTube are what younger people are watching as news. I only saw a minute or so and it was enough to make me feel (if only fleetingly!) decisively worried if we were all going to just disappear in an explosion or something! I never actually watch YouTube f...
