  9. all of the Bridgemont series, and Paternity (CAP series), by Mr Arbour Little Man by Mann Ramblings read lots of good ones, and lots i really enjoyed, but those are my 'go-to' reads!
  10. i might have to apply to move to South Africa
  11. i still believe ive never had a first love - there are people who ive been fond of, but never loved first kiss was my next door neighbour when i was about 10, my sister offered us £20 each to make out so we did.... she never paid us my 'first' was an old school friend, we used to gallivant around the estate of an evening with bottles of cheap cider classy, me? always
  12. Happy Birthday!
  13. no teasing or banter here, just a sincere hope that you and those around you are ok. take care of yourself, we'll be here when you get back
  14. My music tastes appear to be regressing somewhat. Unfortunately i cant nail myself down to only having one song in my head at a time because my attention span is ridiculously short and i lack any sort of focus, but these are the primary three in my head at the moment F.O.B - Just One Yesterday Imagine Dragons - Gold McBusted - Get Over It
  15. Blue and black! Eta- I can actually see blue/black, light blue/brown, and white/gold I'm special!
  16. youd think, but she genuinely does! she loves the rest of the family but doesnt bother asking me for food, affection, love, etc. and the last time i tried to move her off my bed she attacked my hand! it sucks being treated with utter contempt by an animal....
  17. I've seen it! It gave me some of the worst fits of giggles of my life, and apparently I didn't take it 'seriously' enough Personally I think I took it slightly too seriously, by asking my friend whether Mr Grey uses Sensodyne toothpaste to hold an ice cube in his mouth for that long... perhaps its better to embrace the film instead of viewing it from a very literal approach. I will say though, they gave the female lead a lot more credibility in the film than they did in the books, a.k.a they gave her a bit of a backbone, which was nice to see. Overall its a great movie to watch with your friends for a laugh, but not much more than that in my opinion
  18. Ill follow Kitt here i sold my pony a few days ago so im back down to one horse, who i absolutely adore. Hes called Lincoln, Linc, Linky. etc. and hes a purebred registered Cleveland Bay Also got one cat (who hates me slightly) called Lottie two guinea pigs (who are the coolest things ever) called Ludo (left) and Archer (right) two rabbits, that technically belong to my sister. Officially they are called Alfie (left) and Charlie (right) but i accidently renamed them Angry (left) and Hairy (right) and its unfortunately stuck... and three fish
  19. to me he just screams 'american' if you want to consider a brit who would fit the title and the 'look' someone like Charles Manners (10th Duke of Rutland) would be a more accurate portrayal in my experience, although 2002 was a little before my time, and unfortunately this Duke passed away in 1999. However, this is much more what i would expect, but i cant recall if we have had much experience or description of the Duke -
  20. i grew up near here, and i know this place its beautiful, and i can imagine it being very fitting.
  21. im on time, promise! Happy Birthday exam period made me lose track of time
  22. within reason, yes and no for example in the last town i lived in, the only thing you could rely on were the trains! whereas in my current town and my university town, the bus routes are fantastic and this is for both close-range and long-range journeys. Back to my uncle on Orkney, the population there is incredibly small but very spread out, and their buses are fantastic even in rural areas but im pretty sure they dont even have a rail service! So i wouldnt say that public transport could be considered a total replacement for a car or vehicle, but its certainly feasible to get around using it unless youre living in the outer hebrides or the midst of the scottish highlands p.s i can confirm that there are bus stops in the Peak District, because at one point i did manage to drive into one
  23. the public transit and walkability is a lot better here than the USA ETA - ive lived in two moderately small towns now, and ive never had a problem with trains/buses/etc. and im in the 'soot stained, grimy north' or whatever the quote is! far out from the South, where public transport is a lot, lot better. the reasons you just quoted is why the majority of farmers ive spoken to through my connections dont run their 4X4 for everyday errands but instead have a smaller, economical car, and why those who live in the country for a hobby have a higher price of living. That said, its a choice they made and they should have accounted for this, so i dont believe they have the grounds to complain too much! My Uncle lives on Orkney, its 20mins on a 60mph road to their nearest town - it just makes them a lot more economical about their journeys. they are forced to plan meals, etc. because they cant afford to 'nip out'. Both of the places i live in are surrounded by National Parks where the fuel is indeed more expensive then an inner city, but its very easy to work around if you dont drive around on little errands specifically, and instead plan your routes/days more carefully.
  24. 50 sounds a little closer! Although big 4x4 trucks have hit 80-100 whilst I've been there. Dont forget we work in litres, and our fuel is at a major low of $5.20 per gallon! Life is expensive. Luckily as a Brit myself, I have no difficulties with attempting to understand our odd little nation 500 would have been extraordinary, considering my boss can fill her 18ton HGV lorry for 250!
  25. what car does he drive, scotty? assuming fuel is back up at 134.9 (which is a lot higher than reality atm, closer to 120) hes put around 370 litres of fuel in his car?!
