We'll see!<BR/>It seems akin to all the movie re-makes we're seeing lately - where are the new ideas ? The originals are golden - leave 'em alone, I say. :-)<BR/><BR/>Oh dear, so they're gettin' at the astrologers again are they? What do they mean "for entertainment only"? What is life for if not for entertainment ? Grrrr!<BR/>Next thing they'll be doing is giving us a list of side-effects, as they do in ads for pharmaceuticals over here.;-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-23838754705525034982009-01-18T10:10:00.000-06:002009-01-18T10:10:00.000-06:00Thanks for posting this.

I'm wondering if all those planets in Earth signs helped him or influenced him to write about animals in such a meaningful, humorous, and charming way.<BR/><BR/>Also - am a big fan of Erte.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-42448571319969308942009-01-18T09:59:00.000-06:002009-01-18T09:59:00.000-06:00Last weekend it was announced that there is to be ...Last weekend it was announced that there is to be a sequel written by David Benedictus, called Return to Hundred Acre Wood, more than 80 years after the House at Pooh Corner was written.<BR/><BR/>Here's a link:-<BR/><BR/>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/booknews/4209238/Winnie-the-Pooh-sequel-to-be-published.html<BR/><BR/>One of my favourite children's books, my favourite character being Tigger, always bouncing around everywhere, just like me...also matched my red hair!! I've got a Tigger stuffed toy that was given to me years ago by an ex-boyfriend. <BR/><BR/>My sister got stuck with Piglet as a nickname after an Aunt of ours made her a stuffed toy to resemble Piglet. The things adults do to us poor children!<BR/><BR/>PS Check out my further comment on WWW's blog about new rules for astrologers in the UK. A follow up to the one I made about the bus in UK with the "There is probably not a God" poster. The UK has changed a lot in the last few years.Rossahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121831076599069841noreply@blogger.com
