I have lung problem (asbestos),every time I laugh(LOL) it hurts . So keep it serious

I'm with you MusicChick. I grew up within a mile of Pooh Bridge and AA Milne's House. A school friend of mine lived in the sweet shop in the village that is now the Pooh corner shop.

More useless information: My Mum used to babysit AA Milne's son, Christopher, AKA Christopher Robin. AA Milne's house, Cotchford Farm, was purchased by Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones. He drowned in the swimming pool there.

Any more you need to know, apart from the original question?

ok ok.... not EVERY morning.

p.s... I've been meaning to ask.. where you from Cannut?

Live in Ottawa Ont.Born in Luzern >>Zuerich

k , thanks. ( no one is EVER from the Maratimes. )

You serious? This is so cool...I was glad when Disney realized they killed Winnie the Pooh and started pushing the old designs as well. It is still miniscule as opposed to the omnipresent corny ugly Disney Pooh, but at least you see it every now and then.

So, Christopher is a bit older than you? He is the never aging child of our times, it's so nicely done. Better than the little prince.

Milne was a smart, poetic man. Shepard was fab, too. I love how well the characters portray different attitudes in life, it's been formative for so many generations of kids. My folks couldn't have it since it was imperialist, but my generation was allowed, due to the humane spirit behind the stories...The translators have worked on it for so long, before the commies allowed it, though.

Now...back to Eeyore. I think my fav character, so great. I wonder why Milne put him there. Nobody you know modeled for this? Or, the owl, most teachers are like her/him, forgot if it's a he or she in the original.

I know Nova Scotia .Peggis Cove, Lunenburg Digby Saint John NB I Worked in Kentville,My youngest one is in the Navy ,was in Halifax,now in Victoria,next Afghanistan,in one year back in Halifax

I don't know the south coast well but I'm from Halifax myself ( as a child many moons ago ) have cousins in Kentville and traveled many times thru St. J... love the city market there.. that was always one of my stops driving up from Boston enroute to our family cottage outside of Amherst ( N.S. - N.B. border )

EDIT.. taken 50 posts for LiB and I to take this fully off topic.. must be some kinda record there.

Yeah well..I ain't going around telling the tale of this fabulous Quest to just any random body...just sayin'.

Maybe it's because it is my thread...and nobody else is trolling it...and people are happy that I we leave regular, serious threads alone...just my theory.

ok so further off topic ( as you say it's your thread anywho ) ..

are you going to take up the banner to return KFC to "fingah lickin' good" ?

I think the Cap Bretoner People are the most friendliest people on Earth ,Think of music, dancing and Fiddle

Dancing and fiddle?! Who does that anymore...?

one of my brothers is officially a Cape Bretoner ( born in N. Sydney ) and he's always happy..............I think that may be the drugs tho.
