I've just finished reading through the Discworld series for about the 20th time - I can't get enough of them! Started reading them about 5 years ago (after scorning them in High School because they looked too childish! lol) and...

Silverchic Apparently it is the book that gave him the idea for the Discworld series. I don't know how far you are through the book so I won't give the secret away! =)

I'm an avid reader and would quite happily wile away hours of my free time with my nose stuck in a book, but I also enjoy watching a movie a couple of times a month... I've found that I will really drag my heels about watching...

Silverchic But also I've found when you read a book you get your own idea of what the characters look like - then you watch the movie and you are sitting there saying "That's not right! Such-and-such doesn't look like that! He's meant to be a lot taller" or something...

Do you try and be unbiased when rating peoples responses? I've noticed I have to really think about how I'm rating people who disagree with me - it sounds terrible doesn't it! =) So if you start a discussion and someone...

Silverchic We'd talk about how happy we were and the discussions would be about cute little fluffy kittens and puppies, or sunshine, flowers or teddy bears! lol Now wouldn't that be fun??

Do you ever find yourself getting annoyed at the stigma of being a 4wd owner? I had a conversation the other day with someone who thought all 4wd's should be banned in the city! Now I agree to a point...people who buy 4wd's...

Silverchic I was thinking of this also...but there is just so many little problems with the whole idea. Assuming you worked out all the new restrictions, licences, exemptions etc - how would it be policed? I wouldn't like to drive my 4wd to the city and be picked up all...

Silverchic That's the argument I hate - "I need the space!" There are plenty of station wagons and large sedans out there these days! lol And yes, in cyclone area's you pretty much need to have a 4wd - especially if you would like to be able to make it to the next...

If you were given a chance to try a specific extreme sport, what would it be? And why? I prefer Bouldering, I think it's more of physical challenge and I like to push myself to the limit. I think bouldering develops our...

Silverchic No - a lot of people try skydiving (and generally end up getting hooked) to cure their fear but it just doesn't work...and my theory behind it is: (and this really only applies for people who are scared of heights!) When you fall off a ladder even if you...

Silverchic Absolutely! I've since worked out that it isn't the people who disagree with me - it's the one's who disagree nastily! If you are polite about disagreeing then I will give a + rating. But be mean/nasty/rude/racist/sexist etc etc then you will get a -...

Silverchic Is it just me or have a lot of the "I agree" and other extremely short responses been slowly disappearing? Maybe those users are finally learning that they won't earn anything with silly answers like that....oh well I can dream anyway! lol

Silverchic 4000ft?? Oh no - I prefer much higher! Something along the lines of 14,000ft! lol And don't guarantee on it conquering your fear of heights...I'm still terrified of heights (and believe it or not, so are a lot of skydivers!).

Silverchic Have you spoken to the workers comp board? If you can prove without a doubt that you still need medical attention (which should be obvious considering it's surgery!) then the company has no right to deny you compensation!

Silverchic When you try to download do you start at the top of the search results? The items at the top have the most locations and are much quicker to download...there will generally be a number next to the title telling you how many locations they are in. Once you...
