What good is this forum?

People born in the fifties are just kids...:D
 

Hmmm, I would tell you some of names that people have called me by but I am too shy and too sensitive to offer them here...

The big 6-0? Got special plans?! I was trying to figure out where I wanted to go for my 60th beginning when I was about 57. Ended up going to Morocco with friends. Although I really wanted the Maldives. Everyone said it would be boring after 2 days - all that lovely sand, clear blue water....
 
A Bairn is a small child...it's usually used on the East coast of Scotland or in the North East of England...wean on the other hand is used almost exclusively on the West Coast of Scotland.

It's a series set in Scotland - 8 books so far. Written by an American and I think the first one was in 1992. Been turned into a tv series which is being shown in something like 70 countries, except the UK. I have seen the first 8 episodes though, some while I was in the US and the rest on a DVD I bought in Thailand which wasn't exactly a legal copy.

Have you seen the series. The casting is perfect.

A friend kept telling me to read these books but I thought they were just some romantic drivel. But they are so much more, including the passion.

No I haven't seen the Series, but have read the books up to The Fiery Cross. I didn't finish that one.. BUT the ones before were fantastic. Yes so much more than romantic drivel... the history and the picture she paints of 18th century Scotland was riveting. That's when I started being partial to Redheads by the way.... (((blush))))

The 8th book came out last June and I gobbled that up in no time. Some of the books are too long and have too much war detail, but you can't really skip anything. Fiery Cross started out too long but then got exciting later on. Finish it!!

The series is on Starz because Starz helped make it along with Sony. The DVD of the first 8 is out. I very highly recommend them!
 
Damn kids! Running around, screaming about their immaturity, woke me up! :lol1:
