Re: Things, I wouldn't have done or bought
I honestly don't know what I'd be doing with my time if I wasn't spending it on here!

Re: Things, I wouldn't have done or bought
I almost bought an eco cheese I knew I wouldn't like the taste of; and couldn't really afford either... just because it was called 'Benedict'

Re: Things, I wouldn't have done or bought
I almost regret not buying it... I might do one day when I have a bit of money! I bet it'd be good with a slice of cucumber!

Re: Things, I wouldn't have done or bought
I bought a used copy of Atonement today from a clearance sale... I am never going to be able to watch it again, I got so ill the first and only time I did... but seeing it sitting there about to be thrown in the bin in a few days I just couldn't let that happen.

Re: Things, I wouldn't have done or bought
I took up drawing after a decade off and went to London just to go to speedys.
I've bought music and books just because a certain person recommended them.
And I came on here and met some amazing people who I can truly call friends.
Everyone is a winner!!

Re: Things, I wouldn't have done or bought
I've rediscovered Elbow and become completely addicted to the song My Sad Captains.
Have also reread Hamlet, and read Shakespeare's Richard III

Re: Things, I wouldn't have done or bought
Which film version gently?
I want to see a film of if before - hopefully - seeing Benedict in it, but I'm not sure which one to look for.

Re: Things, I wouldn't have done or bought
A film with Kenneth Branagh was recommended to me. Don't watch it so far because it is a monumental piece of work and I need the time and mood for it.

Re: Things, I wouldn't have done or bought
I recommended the version by Branagh, among other things it's uncut... so you know the complete play once you've seen the movie.
And yes, "Elbow"... what a discovery! I've been listening to the CD non-stop for the last two days, it's so amazing... sometimes I'm reminded a bit of "Pink Floyd", then again it's a bit like Peter Gabriel... but mainly it's just brilliant and exceptional stuff.

Re: Things, I wouldn't have done or bought
Thanks, ladies - the Branagh version it is then!
Benedict is actually costing me a small fortune in DVDs, Books and Music!!

Re: Things, I wouldn't have done or bought
I'm also spending oodles on stuff, mainly music actually! I've bought Elbow, Friendly Fires, Daft Punk and London Grammar thanks to him!

Re: Things, I wouldn't have done or bought
I wouldn't have known London Grammar, Elbow, Bon Iver if it werent' for Ben. I wouldn't have taken interest in Shakespeare or taken up charcoal drawing. I also wouldn't be taking second looks at the socks section in the department store wondering if a certain person would've loved that particular pattern or color.
I also wouldn't have sat down and actually watched a YouTube video on napkin folding.
For those who are interested...
