Have you two finished yet? 
But at least I'm somehow trying to bring the actual discussion topic into this...as lame as the attempts may be.

Hi all!
I am back from Canada - was on a business trip there. Loved country and people - the weather was aweful - compared to Ireland - 29 plus more than 60 percent humidity - killing me.
Well, back to the topic, please, don't feel that you offended/hated me - that wasn't my intention. As Father Ted described Father Jack: "Likes the Old Drink. Hates children. And never approach him from behind."
I am different a little bit - I adore kids. The rest is pretty much the truth I would say.
In any case, I was serious about what I said but I thank you that you are not! Life is for being alive!
If anybody hates me - this is their/his/her problem!
Jan, never thought that my words would touch you this way - my apologies - I would say as the old Bertie said: "I say...". I am sorry if I troubled you. Really I just wanted to say the fact - the way we studied our classics - all behaviour should be based on the codex of being a loyal member of your party. That's it.
In any case,
Sorry if I troubled all of you - didn't want anybody to go over the Edge ,

Glad you're back Andie - I hate the heat and humidity as well
No need for apologies - I'm very passionate about books and what they mean to people and I just didn't want you to think we didn't like you because you'd said that you had to be careful about you said about the classics when you were at school - it just made me feel very sad things were that way. The last thing I wanted to do was upset you or make you feel unhappy.
Anyway - we've been very silly in here ever since so I'm glad you're back in time for us to start talking about the book properly again

Well, Looked at my recent post - really funny - stopping this discussion about all that - party, parties, leaders and clowns.
In any case, my best wishes to all!!!!
We live in a real Discworld - since we are peolpe.
My best wishes - just read the book - and understand the name for the bird - Mockingbird! This is the clue - not to Kill.
Peace,
Me.

The best thing about this story is the double meaning; when I read the book I took Tom Robinson to be the Mocking Bird that sang all day, as he helped Mayella and felt pity for her situation and for that, he was quite literally, shot. However the film highlighted the kindness of the elusive Boo Radley, and what a sin it would be to expose him to public life for doing the town such a favour (killing Bob Ewell to defend Jem). A marvellous book that I begged to study as part of our GCSE, however we did Lord of the Flies.
Great movie too! I really like Gregory Peck in it.
There is an old photo of my Dad, one of my brothers and me in which he looks very much like Gregory Peck in that movie, I am refering to the scene in which he shoots the rabid dog. My father lends a hand to each of us and has taken a stance as if he wants to say: "If you are going to do anything to my kids you will have to kill me first". Unfortunately I can't upload that picture; it is in one of the family albums of my parents; you would certainly see the similarity.
