Rebecca - do you prefer the book or film?

Fidget @Fidget (291) 3 Apr 08

I first remember watching the film years and years ago one Sunday afternoon when I was about 13. Normally I'd turn my nose up at black and white films but Rebecca really caught and held my attention. It wasn't until about a year...

What is your favourite Daphne du Maurier book?

Fidget @Fidget (291) 3 Apr 08

I have read both Rebecca and Jamaica Inn, and am about to start The Parasites. So far I think my favourite was the Jamaica Inn as I found it really atmospheric and a real page turner. I did like Rebecca but I had already seen the...

Lord of the Flies and Gender.

Fidget @Fidget (291) 10 Mar 08

Why do you think that Golding decided to only have males stranded on his island? I don't think he was being sexist, I don't intend it to be a feminist rant. But I'd like to here why you think he only used the one gender. I have...

Do you feel obliged to respond?

Fidget @Fidget (291) 19 Feb 08

If you start a discussion, do you feel obliged to respond to people who have posted? I always try to respond but sometimes I lack inspiration especially if they are all saying the same thing. I have noticed some people just say...

How do YOU stay motivated?

Fidget @Fidget (291) 18 Feb 08

So, how do you stay motivated? I find it helps to always have something health but tastes nice that I can eat when I am hungry. Also, reflecting on what I have achieved is useful. But what about when the gremlings are out in...

Why myLot?

Fidget @Fidget (291) 18 Feb 08

Why do you use myLot? Are you here because it's somewhere where you can discuss and debate. Are you here just because you want to make money? Or is it a bit of both? Initially, I only came here to see if I could make an easy...

Do you ever stay up all night so you don't oversleep?

Fidget @Fidget (291) 18 Feb 08

Okay, perhaps I am just crazy but some nights, if I HAVE to be up in the morning, I will stay up all night just incase I sleep over. Soo, am I on my own with my paranoia or do any of you stay up all night so you can't possible...

Wou.ld you rather be too hot or too cold?

Fidget @Fidget (291) 14 Feb 08

Would rather be too cold as I find it easier to warm up than to cool down. Being too hot at night means no sleep, being too cold means an extra blanket or two and not wanting to get out from under the covers in the morning. I...

Did you enjoy Lord of the Flies?

Fidget @Fidget (291) 3 Feb 08

I studied 'Lord of the Flies' for my English Literature GCSE. Initially, I really did not enjoy the novel. I'm not sure if it is because the task of reading the book was forced on me, or that I rush-read and did not take it all...

Calligraphy and being left handed.

Fidget @Fidget (291) 3 Feb 08

I have always been interested in calligraphy but being left handed I have often been told not to bother. A little disappointing but seing as I have a hard time not smudging a fountain pen I can kind of see why! I was just...

Do you think you could cope without your mobile?

Fidget @Fidget (291) 20 Jan 08

Do you think you could cope without your mobile? I went without a mobile phone for over 6 months and I was inconvienced very little. Infact, occasionally I enjoyed the peace and quiet. And after a month or so I'd pretty much...

Cinema, Home, Computer. Where do you prefer to watch films?

Fidget @Fidget (291) 20 Jan 08

I prefer to watch films on the big screen but up until recently the nearest decent cinema was over 1.5 hours away so my friends and I would only go if there was a big film we all wanted to see. Now that I've moved and the cinema...

Do you prefer sugar or sweetners?

Fidget @Fidget (291) 20 Jan 08

In drinks I'll quite happily have sweetners (tablet form) as I cannot taste the difference. However, I cannot stand artifical sweetner (sugar replacement powdered stuff) on my food. Yuck. What about you?

BC and AD, or BCE and CE

Fidget @Fidget (291) 19 Jan 08

So, do you use BC/AD or BCE/CE? What reason are behind your choice? Suppose I should start. I use BC/AD. It is not a religious matter for me, I'm generally agnostic. It's just how you date things in the society I was brought...

Cats and computer envy

Fidget @Fidget (291) 11 Jan 08

I'll be sitting in the living room or perhaps even in bed, using my laptop to browse online. Then suddenly, out of no where, there's a bundle of fur seperating me from my keyboard! Occasionally it's gradual, with a disdaneful look...
