I have completed the surveys for the Adventure Series John, and am the first to do so. All looking good so far, and I like now that anyone can amend their vote if they change their mind. John has been working really hard on the setup of all of this, and spent many hours, in fact we both had for the ...

Thanks Ice Maiden, John has done the most work so far setting up the website, but yes I hope you will enjoy it all. It is going to stay in test mode until I'm back from my holiday on 9 September, then we can launch the famous five and adventure series characters a couple days after

I forgot too, and I saw a couple of nice books on his site today too

Great thinking Ice Maiden, or sort of like the colour you get when you blow a big soapy bubble

I have been collecting the Famous Five Betty Maxey illustrated books, but in HARDBACK that were issued by Brockhampton in 1974. I like these much more than the paperbacks, and I am partial to the Betty Maxey illustrations. I have been searching for months and managed to get all but 5 titles in exce...

Yes I remember this now in Mountain of Adventure too. It is even shown on the cover as a puff of pink cloud (I guess Stuart Tresilian couldn't paint an unknown colour too !)

I really like Finniston Farm! I know many people on here rate it very poorly but I've always enjoyed it - and it has nothing to do with reading it as a child, because I only read Smuggler's Top and Mystery Moor as a child. I love the atmosphere of Finniston Farm and I like the fact its sort of base...

One thing I forgot to mention on Five Get Into A Fix, was the curious shimmering. Julian described it as a colour he had never seen before. I've tried and tried to imagine a colour that doesn't exist, but I can't (I guess because it's impossible). Can anyone else imagine a colour in their mind that ...

I've took a long time finishing Five Get Into A Fix, I enjoyed it, but not as much as most of the other books, I feel the five let themselves down a bit by thinking Morgan was in league with the baddies and then disobeying his orders, although I guess when they told him about Mrs Jones being locked ...

Hi everyone Just to let you know that I have been talking with John (Boatbuilder) and we have both agreed that for various reasons, the idea I tried to implement with spreadsheets hasn't been taken up very well. We have therefore decided to postpone this idea for now. BUT , you haven't heard the las...

I had the hardest time with the baddies. I was trying to rate everyone quickly and instinctively so I didn't get bogged down, but with baddies I had to stop and ask 'am I rating them low because I think they are badly written or because they are a horrible person'. I voted either -9 or -10 for each...

That's right, anything you can't remember, just leave blank. I've got your votes now Chrissie thanks in your PM and I'll enter them for you

I'm sorry, John and Jonathan, but this is way too complicated for my limited technical abilities. :cry: :cry: :cry: So I'll skip this poll and hope that the next one will be without Excel spreadsheet. That would be a lot easier to manage. Thank you! Chrissie, I'd like you to have your votes include...

It's not too late, it's open-ended so anybody can join in the poll at anytime by requesting a link to their own 'personal copy' of the spreadsheet. Jonathan (kirrin_castle) will be adding more series/characters as the weeks go on and they will appear on everyone's sheets. He will send you your link...

Great I've just sent you your link
