Apologies for the delay in my reply; just moved house, so the home
computer's not up and running again as yet, and my damned boss seems
to want me to WORK while I'm here!  (What a fascist!)

slow.......

Captain Suburbia:
Yes, me too.  I hooked up there some time ago, but didn't really find
it too engaging.  But, I suppose, if I took part in it I'd help
alleviate that, wouldn't I? :)

HumanTupperware:

are finding

Captain Suburbia:
Yes, I was conscious of this, too, but it IS the Off-Topic site, I
suppose....

Captain Suburbia:
Fabulous!  My series (12 years ago now) was based on Still Life with
Woodpecker - really enjoyed how he pulled apart the design of the
Camel cigarette packets, so I included a lot of those elements in the
paintings.  Good on you!  Paint on!

Storm:
storm, who is living in sydney, australia and just loves that joke despite
the fact that a. it's really really poxy, b. done to death and c. a total
one liner but is also loving the thread. Although I don't remember any
Tupperware parties I do remember the icy pole things and in fact my
g/f has
some which come out in summer .. and we still chew on the little stick.

Captain Suburbia:
"Poxy" is such a great word!  Ten points to (insert house of your
choice) for that one.  And another ten for chewing on the icy pole
stick.  One of the beauties of being an adult is that you can do these
things without having to answer to your mum. ;)


So, back ON to the main topic.  What do you get out of the HP books? 
Any particular favorite bits, characters, etc?  Favorite theories?  I
know these are broad questions, but I'm keen to get back into a bit of
HP theory - any takers?
