I wrote this review: I picked this up at a garage sale because of its attractive cover. Being a sceptic - I thought I would check out my birthday for a bunch of nonsense. Eerily accurate! I bought the book; Theresa Cheung is spot on target with the five members of my immediate family.
http://www.amazon.ca/Element-Encyclopedia-Birthdays-Theresa-Cheung/dp/0007261497/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271098452&sr=8-1-spell (http://www.amazon.ca/Element-Encyclopedia-Birthdays-Theresa-Cheung/dp/0007261497/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271098452&sr=8-1-spell)
So who wants to know the highlights of their birthday personality?

Do we have to cross your palm with silver?

I guess there will be elements of skepticism and trust issues for you birthday date Vulture.
-
How does the book work? Is it by day and month, or day, month and year? Does it go back to 1868?
-
It is just day and month and you're not that bloody old anyway.
I tell ya, I'm starting to lose interest.
-
I wasn't referring to me. >:( ;)
Please tell me the highlights of my birthday personality.

No, I love reading horoscopes. I have a slight problem believing SOME of them, as nearly-d-i-l shares the same dd/mm but 31 years later, and some of the things that get lined up for her make me blush.....!
I would love you to give me highlights of my personality! <<26/07/46>> but don't tell anyone else!

Mumbo jumbo, all of it. Superstitious claptrap. Why on Earth would I want a reading for February 6th? What possible bearing could the day you were born, February 6th, have on the rest of your life, let alone your character. I can't believe how many normally level-headed people on this forum appear to be suckers for this kind of nonsense. Obviously none of you were born on Februaury 6th, that's all I can say.

I think Diane still has me in her bad-books.
-
...oh, there's not a book big enough. ;D
-
I'm scoring a five! ;D
-
Four from me.

2 for me. Not very close at all. To be honest, anyone could throw that many adjectives up there and hit enough for a 2 or 3 I suppose, but then again, that's the key to astrology, no?
-
Calvin - that is what my 18 year old son said a few days ago. He is a clever git too.
-
See! If they'd only had clever git in there it wudda been a 3.

I think Diane still has me in her bad-books.
You THINK?

My turn Dianne can you do 09 June and 20 Oct, please. Thanks

Hi Lucy - I will ge to it when I get a chance - two trips to town and then one into the city today with a late night. The brief results are: one of you is a sweetheart and one is a git. I will fill in the details later.

This is the same birth date as my thirteen-year-old grandson - immature, changable, tactless - this is him at his BEST!
-
Thanks Dianne. I think I rather prefer your personal thought tho :) I take it I'm the sweetheart and a certain Nigel is the git!
By the way to Vulture, is there any chance that your grandson been around Peeps at any point in his life? That's the only explanation I can think of for being immature and tactless . :o
-
Lucy, they're both blokes - what more can I say?
-
Such blatant sexism. That's outrageous. I am outraged.
I'm going to tell on you.
-
Such blatant sexism. That's outrageous. I am outraged.
I'm going to tell on you.
Excuse me! Who/whom are you going to tell? I AM a mum AND I'm a teacher - who else is there to tell?
-
A policeman.
-
A policeman.
I may be the mother of one soon, if she gets through the exams! :-*
-
Not to mention the sex change. :-\
-
Never mind. It turns out that after an hour and a half of searching, you can't actually find a policeman anywhere.
-
Not to mention the sex change. :-\
Well.... she IS in Canada and I don't think they have gender demarcation there!
