Yep. The main character Ellie(?) is based on a good friend of my sister. He used to read bits of The Great Gatenby to us before it was published.
Oh man I loved Ellie.

Had a bit of a book crush, if those existed.

It helped she was going out with the Asian dude Lee.

Very jealous right now.

I even went to go see the movie too. I was pretty happy with how it turned out. Now that I remember, I think they were planning a TV show for it. I wonder what happened to that...

I'm amazed how successful he's become. Not surprised though. Was a great teacher. A bit like Robin Williams in Dead Poets. Just thought outside the box and often diverted from the curriculum

The TV show started a few weeks ago. I haven't watched it yet. Loved those books too!

The thing is both St Kilda and Freo flogs will unite with their tears of salty anguish, jealously and bitterness when GWS win their first flag (and it will be glorious to see all the melts)

Question: Why is it that before cabin baggage restrictions everyone could fit their bags on a plane without fuss. Now that there are restrictions there isn't enought room for cabin luggage and half the plane now have to check in their bags on board.

Might be one for Morganashlee and Allikat
Now that it costs money to check in a bag people are more likely to have bigger, heavier and more items of carry on to avoid paying for it

No we wont.

I think you are talking about yourself and how you would react.

Nope i'd be delighted for GWS to win a flag, especially before loser clubs like St Failure and Freo, in my opinion, the only battler clubs whose fans deserve to see flags are Melbourne and The Doggies. I'd say Norf too but Sooz would be unbearable if they won a flag.

Why is there so much talk about football in this thread? It's the general board for ****s sake.

They were talking about certain things you could buy at the milk bar on SEN today. It got me thinking. What are some of the things you miss from your school canteen/tuckshop days?

I miss walking in with a fifty cent piece and walking out with ten mates or ten red frogs (green ones were shit) - or ten cent jumbo redskins...

Gazey brought up Bubble O bill (or maybe it was Andy Maher) and the other said "Nah, they still have them"

I think I've asked you this before but I'm curious. Why do you hate St Kilda? It confuses me because we are harmless. And that's not a good thing. I always think its strange when someone admits their hatred for us because its like we mean something to you if you want us to fail so badly. Or is it just the "culture" we have? Why do St Kilda fans "not deserve" to win a flag?

FWIW, I'm happy for any team to win a flag be it GWS or Freo or any of those fellow battlers.

I too am scratching my head as to why Carlon and Saints fans would be melting if GWS win? Is it because of the missed priority picks? It certainly cant be because they have been beaten in a GF coz neither will be there for a while...

GWS can GAGF, if they won a flag this year would anyone really care, they only have a handful of supporters that have been supporting them for 5 years max.

It's not like if St Kilda or the Bulldogs won a flag for all their long suffering supporters that have been waiting 50 years for another flag.

Loved me a pack of fags. The anti-smoking movement saw the end of them.

ahh ok, so some Saints fans would melt if GWS won because they are new and Saints havent won for 50 years or something. Like its just not fair.
