[prodigal_sun]

This uncle is reading one of the Famous Five books. Wow nostalgic.
I loved reading them back then growing up. But i cant quite remember the characters. Was there a Julian? Or was the the 3 Investigators?

There was Julian. He was the eldest.

Julian
Dick
George
Anne
&
Timothy (George's dog)

George would be classed as a butch in today's lingo though heh

[prodigal_sun]

lol dick. gets me everytime.

butch? do u mean bitch??

[prodigal_sun]

oh wait u talking about George. sorry i thought u referring to the dog Timothy haha! then it'd be the butch and the bitch LOL

[inex]

Timothy is a MALE dog lah.

[ellesil]

oh wow, i used to read those too. Was a big Enid Blyton fan...

[prodigal_sun]

Immense dislike for Secret Seven and Famous Five.

Wishing Chair and Faraway Tree ftw.

[prodigal_sun]

aww i love those mystery adventure series! i used to hate SS too, but then i ran out of books to read and so i forced myself to read it and found it wasnt that bad lol.

woooooo! faraway tree! love all the good food growing on the tree. treacle pudding? i never got to eat that as a kid and adult. dont even know where the hell sells it -__-

TREACLE PUDDING. That sounds lovely. I remember I would read all those stupid Enid Blyton books and they would have the best pies. BLUEBERRY PIE, APPLE PIE. All freshly made. Om nom nom nom.

[prodigal_sun]

haha those still ok..it's those exotic sounding that i couldnt find in SG that really whet my appetites.. that explains why i still remember treacle pudding LOL. i still trying to visualise what the hell it would look like. i'd imagine something caramelly for some reason

I love love love Famous Five too (infact I am thinking of going back to spore and getting some series for Seth)

I remembered there were 2 boys, 2 girls (they were cousins to each other) and a dog!

[prodigal_sun]

lol? the States dont love Famous Five enough to have it there? or it's much cheaper to get it here? just read the SGD is growing weaker; so it's a good idea to shop here for u i guess !

haha u have a better memory than i. i couldnt recall the gender mix or the dog even!

[sweetching]

Well, it's English u know and they dont have Enid Blyton here. However they do have Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys and some other children's books written by American authors. They have Dr Seuss, Richard Scarry's books which werent very big during my time but my husband grew up with these authors.

[prodigal_sun]

what?! no Blyton growing up?? it's cruelty to children! lol ok u got to buy them for seth then.
well i didnt really fancy nancy much, and the Hardiii boys. it was oooookk; didnt thrill me particularly :/
