    haha I read 3 in a row and had to stop too, for the same reason. It was just too much, the same with Anne Rice and the Vampire Chronicles, I think I read 5 in a row!!! Haven't gone back to them in nearly 5 years now. lol

    No probs Happy

    I do hope to learn crochet at some stage, my mother used to crochet little baby hats and things when I was younger, but she hasn't done anything like that in over 15years I think! I may have to get her knitting when she visits me this xmas! haha

    Well I don't agree with banning the games at all. All the games in question are for over 18's therefore it is entirely up to the parents NOT to buy the games in the first place. You cannot blame the salesperson, or the maker for your 8 year old son beating up his friend after playing whatever games, if you didn't even bother to look at the age limit on it.

    Violence was around long before video games and will be around if we ban them. It's all up to the parents. Sure kids will get their hands on the game somehow, but still it's how they are brought up too, you can't blame everything on the games and Marilyn Manson ;)

    As I said these games are made for adults and I think most of us know the difference between being able to shoot a computer game character that doesn't exist in reality, to blowing up a real life person..but I can only speak for myself there Happy

    I think if someone does eventually run out on a killing spree, there was something there beforehand and not just the effect from the games.

    I really like Brett Easton Ellis too, Glamorama was very good!

    Non-Fiction fave would be "They Fuck Up" by Oliver James a book by clinical psychologist Oliver James, he talks about how the care we receive in the first 6 years of our lives is what shapes our personalities. Very interesting and may provide you with some information with why your parents were they way they were.
    I gave it to my mother afterwards, I don't think she ever read it lol

    Bind Off, basically how you knit off the last stitches, otherwise known as casting off.

    Knittin'Kitten I knit these fingerless gloves a while ago and they turned out okay, no knitting in the round so pretty easy Happy The only thing I did different was made them a little longer in the main part.

    Shivi, I'm sure there are other things, but with knitting you have two sticks, crocheting you have one stick with a curve at the end..but I could even be wrong about that as it's years since I saw someone crochet!

    aww thats so mean Cat! It's so unfair when people do that.

    I was a christmas dinner in the countryside here 3 years ago, in a real farmers house. We had their own lamb and pork it was amazing! Later after quite a few drinks, the guys took out some more meat and my friend ate some, then the guys broke their heart laughing at her as they told her it was horse meat!!! My friend thinks horses are better than humans, so you can imagine how distraught she was. It was a really mean thing to do Happy I didn't have any, thank jebus!
