yes that's a good answer. xx

Hi Ladies, I finally got my beautiful BeeGees book yesterday. It's got lots of posters and tells the story of the guys right through their journey. I'm loving it!!. The only thing missing is a special signature on it. I'm hoping for an opportunity one day.

Great Carol! Tell us the name of the book again, maybe we can find it. Sounds wonderful! xx

It's called Treasures of the BeeGees and it's a hard cover book. It would be great if it was readily available then we could all share it.xx

Sounds wonderful Carol, someday to be signed ! Love your new look too !xx

Thanks Bethany, yes I'm happy with my new look, I had to get my Grandson to do it for me because I'm hopeless at that sort of thing!!!

I understand, Carol and I am off to bed, enjoy the rest of your day, will join everyone here, tomorrow . It has been a wonderful day with the release of the video for the Poppy Appeal .xx

It has indeed . see you tomorrow

Revisited this question, Gabriele, where is the answer !?!

Here it is !

AHA! Well done Bethany, Gabriele was right then, it was because of the train crashes. Both lucky to have survived. xx

I just started reading Drood by Dan Simmons which is based on Dickens' involvement in the accident.

That's great news Beth, unfortunately we don't get Glee over here anymore

Why is that trivia? What is "Glee"?

A popular US television series, a musical. In April, my daughters and I will bond again !!!

Perhaps, another category, then?

Thanks for the info, Bethany.

I don't watch Glee but that day you can bet I'll be glued to my T.V.

Hoping to see this too!!

Celebration of the 200th Anniversary of Charles Dicken's birth , one of Robin's favorites !

Thanks, Bethany. I'm much into Dickens currently, still reading Drood, and at Christmas I was presented with an audio drama box, containing Oliver Twist, David Copperfield and Great Expectations.
I think it would be an interesting study to find out how much Robin's earlier work was influenced by Dickens.

Thanks, Beth;

That is a very interesting article. I noticed it was the anniversary of his birth on Facebook earlier. Thank you, again. xoxo

Yes, it would, Gabriele . One of my favorites is Bleak House. I have a DVD set with the aforementioned, Our Mutual Friend, Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, Martin Chuzzlewit, and Hard Times. It has been awhile since watching them, maybe in honor of this bicentenary I will review them .

I don't remember if I've read any books by Charles Dickens I have the movie Oliver, if that counts....lol could any one recommend a good one?

Love Alma

Alma, you probably are familiar with A Christmas Carol, and A Tale Of Two Cities?

It is hard to recommend as everyone has her own taste, and I have resorted to film . Dickens can be bleak, writing about hard times, if you will. As I said, Bleak House was a favorite of mine. A bleak outlook on the legal profession with captivating characters. Of course, his characters are always noteworthy and he was a critic of his times. That's Dickens in nutshell .

Beth:
Yes, "Bleak House" is my favorite as well! xoxo

Myself too, Shelly .

Speaking of characters, all of us must know of Ebeneezer Scrooge !?!

Yes Bethany, I've heard of those books and some other ones. Maybe I should consider reading one.
