Niiice!! I like it.

I think Horus is right and the details will be leaked... sorry about this but... will it be called Wikiflu?? :oops:

The statue of Thutmosis III is my favourite statue of any I 've seen. It is glorious. I often wonder what his feet would have looked like though.

Cue a chance to post a link to my favourite egyptology blog...

(I loooove this blog!!)

Yes, we were expected to eat everything and, if we didn't, we wouldn't get pudding. My Mom's also a good cook, so no hardship. My son will try everything and there are very few things he doesn't like. I have read that it is important to give babies the widest variety of tastes possible from when ...

I posted this link on the Blue side too - it really rings true for me (sadly):

Well I'm.... :D

They need to be able to follow quite complicated and long plot lines, so not too young. My son is 11 and we have tried twice since he was 7 to get into the series but, after the films, which are simplified and much faster paced as a result, it hasn't worked. One of his friends has ...

Thanks Horus! I'm finding L4U a little acid at times just now but the atmosphere on E4U seems more like I remember L4U used to be - very friendly and relaxed.

Well, I love the HP books. I find all the detail of the alternative world of wizarding very well created and there is lots of humour that is entirely missing from the films, as a result of time constraints, no doubt. The films stand almost on their own and I have enjoyed watching them as a separate ...

Or fruit crumble, or fruit fool (it'd be purple mind you!).. scrummy. I love gooseberries. We just get the goose (with feathers, I hasten to add) bit here in Luxor. Ah well..

One of my friends is convinced that democracy is going to break out all over the region, including Egypt. She can't remember any other leader but Mubarak; she is 37. There is a great deal of reaction to recent events from young Egyptians on the internet on such sites as Facebook. If matters do ...

Dr Magdy Yacoub is building a hospital for cardiac surgery and treatment in Aswan. He has funded the building himself (the government gave him the land) and he will perform surgery for free there. Not full-time, as you would expect, however, he is also involved in organising doctors from outside ...

He probably went on to be an interior designer - a lot of the makeovers they do look like a load of manure (being polite).

I've read that one Jojo. I enjoyed it but I'm saying no more so I don't spoil it for you.

"Delicate" is in one of my favourite selection folders on my MP3 player. Lisak, do you remember how he used to do a backflip? My friend was also obssessed with him and she went to to see him live. She used to do this funny sort of pretend backflip but without the flip - you know how a cat wiggles ...

I love the Elizabeth Peters books about Amelia Peabody Emerson. I think I've read them all and I always keep my eye open for the latest one in Gaddis bookshop. They really make me smile and are so evocative of the romantic idea of Egypt and Egyptology.

I doubt, somehow, that anything like that will happen even though it should. Look at how many UN resolutions Israel has ignored before and without any consequences. The UN really has no teeth to enforce anything, especially when the USA abstains (I stiil can't catch my breath over that!).

I can't say I liked the 4th Taita book. How do you say that - is it Tayta or Taeeta?? - If its the first one, that's another word for testicle where I come from! Makes you think every time you read the name eh? Oh the irony!! :(

Sorry, back to the point. I thought it had flown off into the realms ...

I'm reading "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova:

(From the dustcover)

Late one night, exploring her father's library, a young woman finds an ancient book and a cache of yellowing letters addressed ominously to 'My dear and unfortunate successor'.
Her discovery plunges her into a world she never ...

Squeeze it till the pips squeak!!
