The red kangaroo

[podga]

Agh! I had in mind to check the quote, and then completely forgot to do so. Apologies for the delay.

*determines to get more serious about those memory exercises*

 

"It's always pleased me that my wife has had a hobby. I thought it was stitch-work she was doing. I had no idea she had written a book."

[Palantir]

Well, I'm certainly clueless about this one. - help! help! help!

[Slytherin]

oops - forgot about this... I regognize this from somewhere but no... More clues please Podga !!!

[podga]

OK. The author is not actually married and certainly not to a woman!! The quote is from the prologue.

[Slytherin]

I know I have read this somewhere but I don't remember where or who wrote it..

It drives me crazy !! Grrrr..

[podga]

Author is from the UK. Probably better known as a comedian and actor.

That's right! The book's called Mrs. Fry's Diary, by Mrs. Stephen Fry

 

Your turn.

[Slytherin]

I was almost right then lol . This is a qoute from one of my favourite authors..

 

 

To dance to flutes, to dance to lutes is delicate and rare. But it is not sweet with nimble feet to dance upon the air..

A truly brilliant author Slytherin. You're a lady after my own heart.

 

So with curious eyes and sick surmise I can't remember the title

[comicfan]

What sucks is I remember the author but not the title of the piece. I know it is Oscar Wilde cause i had to read so much of his stuff for my Masters. However the title eludes me.

[Slytherin]

It's a poem and it is his last work

[Andy78]

**feels like a prize berk**

 

It's The Ballad of Reading Gaol

[Slytherin]

Yes it is - well done Andy Your turn

 

 

 

My friends read Jackie Collins and I read Oscar Wilde in high school

[Andy78]

Lets try this one (I don't think it's been done before):

 

“When I was fifteen I was amazing, absolutely amazing! Dear Mummy was terrified to let me out on my own; she felt I was bound to come home pregnant, or something silly like that.”

[Slytherin]

[podga]

Is it your autobiography Andy ??

 

You'll never get it, Slytherin. Your highschool friends might, though.

[Slytherin]

Don't tell me it's Jackie Collins lol - but when the sheep is involved it probably is !

[Andy78]

**is very very scared of the weird-assed biology you learnt in school whereby a gay guy can get pregnant**

Now would I do something like that to a lovely little care bear

[Slytherin]

**is very very scared of the weird-assed biology you learnt in school whereby a gay guy can get pregnant** haha - I had been drinking a little too much "glögg"

Yes you would you evil sheep

[Andy78]

I love glogg. I got so drunk at the Goteborg Christmas market last year. We'd stopped in the Ice Bar and had few drinks, then got on the glogg to help warm us up.

 

We need more glogg in the world (and more of it in my local supermarket)

Andy, as birthdays pass, so do crowns. This is mine now.
