Hi everyone

If a film was made of your life story, who would you choose to play the part of yourself :?:

I think I would choose Judi Dench. I have always admired her as an actress, and she seems a nice person off-stage too. I used to see her regularly on stage in the sixties, when she worked as part of the company at Nottingham Playhouse. I think it is great the way she has kept working, and getting parts in good films, even as she has got older. So many female actresses get dropped as they age.

The qualities I would like her to show in her portrayal of me are determination, compassion, tolerance, a love of people, a love of nature and animals, a willingness to work hard to succeed, a strong sense of humour, and a zest for life. I think she could manage all that, quite easily :!: :lol:

    I hope that she could portray an ego trip as well. :lol:

    I would, of course have to play myself.

    That's what nuns are called when they are 'fully fledged' so to speak! Living Legends - presumably because they are perfect and carry out whatever-it-is-they-do (some Orders are quite different) so perfectly that if the rule-book is ever lost they can simply copy it from their lives.
    I think :!: :!:

    Annie - who's wondering where on earth that information came from.

    I Just cannot think of who would portray my life, gosh it would have to be someone who has nerves of steel I suppose.

    I don't think anybody would.

    shame, never mind.

    Hi Trisher

    Whoever it was would win an Oscar for an heroic performance, I'm sure, showing us all how we can overcome adversity. Perhaps I will share Dame Judi Dench with you :?:

    When I was an undergraduate at University I would tend to have a go at anything, (except drugs), no matter how laughable. From running naked around the rugby pitch to helping out at student bashes and mentoring other students. Also, I would often be up until late most nights on projects.

    Other students said that I was a legend in my own lifetime, a real Livinglegend. Quite a surprise to be told this as I didn't know, and the name just stuck. So, earned through hard work and given to me by others.

    Still a true Livinglegend. I have always lived in interesting times.

    Hi Joseph

    I was only looking Googling what it was to see if annie was right re her Nun theory.

    They were there. Being we are all hidden, we don't know who is who?

    Now can you help me with a computer problem. I've been told that you do help people with computers.

    Did you ever do a Cisco course?
