"PINK_BUNNY we r NOT black! :) Adoon waxiiid! "

As much as I hate madows, I will not call anyone "adoon" PERIOD. Don't you want to know the kind of testing these "humanitarians" are doing to Africans? Including your own ppl?

Also, I will add to my list "Imperial Reckoning".....It's a must read, and a sad, sad story about the abuse Kenyans suffered in the hands of the British.

I read that book also, he is one smart man. He is difficult to understand though, he over analyzes things. Did you know he is buried in Algeria next to "muhajids".

Pink aka Fah -- why r u pretending to hate your fellow adoons?


PS: Basra is moi! loool


garowegal @lol i will definitely go with my instinct! lol



Leila

I have seen the BBC tv series version of it. BY screen writer Andrew Davies ( a genius) the Movie one with Kiera Knightly is horrible. I walked out of the cinema.They 'dumped' it down to suit american audience. I was grossly disappointed.But most especially i was offended they 'sexed' it up.They made Mr. Darcy french kiss Lizzy Bennet. I was horried, i am sure Lady Austen was traumatized too in her Westminister grave!

Pink i am sorry if i am rude. Forgive me, its Friday, i am in a good mood! lol


garowegal YES i have! And i certainly do not love it more than i love EMMA or PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. But it is a good book too. I have a few characters i love in S & S. LOOOOL Its sad though that i didn't discover 'sensibility' (within myself) from reading it! BUt hey--there is good news-- i did discover 'sense' from reading it! :)
