I'm 33, married and work for a multinational oil company. I live on a small island called Shetland, 100 miles off the North coast of Scotland. The climate is quite cool and rarely exceeds 20 Centigrade. I love it though. Scuba diving, skiing and reading books, travelling, writing, soccer and cricket.

Did you maybe miss the point here? The book IS seen through the eyes of a kid, and a mentally ill one at that, hence the extreme flippancy and 'smoking like a mad-man'.
I only gave you a recommended for this as, despite it being a good piece, I do not agree that she proves that the concept of charity and of being a saint is actually evil. She gives considerable evidence that if you view everything in a completely objective fashion, then capitalism is the best optio read more...

Good op, disagree about one thing though. I found the humour multi-layered, and some of it extremely pithy in an observational sense. For instance, the wry look they take to kick off with at Jerry Springer - this isn't toilet humour, it's telling people how stupid they are if they find such shows wo read more...

Thanks for the comment. I've haven't travelled in Asia much, apart from visiting Turkey and Hong Kong - is skiing popular in India then?
Commented on mayukh's review
Sorry for the SR, never heard of the film so I was interested what it's about, but you haven't really told me much. If you add anything let me know and I'll rerate it if you like.
Commented on GR-Design's review
It was indeed;-) Thats all I had to say, but apparently 3 words isn't good enough round here. Verbosity rules ok.
Hi Louise, yes, I did pan it big style, but I was in Turkey and HAD to finish it as there was nothing else, which made it even worse, so maybe I was a bit OTT. I stick by what I said about the diving though - and they had 2 sets of kits to cannibalise IIRC. The method he suggests is almost unworkabl read more...

Hi abbey, good review and it sounds like an interesting film. We don't have a cinema (Movietheater, do you call them?) here, so I never see anything unless it's old though.
