it's not just youthe books are still good, even now! the disney version has a lot of things going for it, but it really has lost the essence of the original books.
and i'd just like to say that i used to live down the road from the hundred acre wood, and there are NO MOUNTAINS!
that is all

aye, 'tis a lovely placenot sure i ever played poohsticks though. I think i found pooh somewhere later in life when it harked back to the blissful ignorance of youth. i guess that's why most people who like it like it.
Also a massive PG Wodehouse fan though, and he hated Christopher Robin with a passion ;-)
Well, nice to meet another survivor from Kent! Still drive past every now and again as the gf's folks are still there. I aim to retire there in 40 years or so...

all of whichhas led me off the point -
i would like that disney fellow's head on a platter (if only he hadn't a) already died, and b) already had his head cut off and frozen incase the future invented re-animation (pardon the pun) - He should have kept the spinal cord, believe me. I did a fair bit of neurocsience in my degree, and he's buggered without it) for mucking around with the classics.
