One of my favourite quotes, re-lived yesterday while when viewing an old favourite Looking For Alibrandi (2000). Josie: “Bye, John.” Jacob Coote: “Bye, John.” If you haven’t seen this film, you won’t know the moment. Classic!

Read MoreThis weeks comment comes from the wonderful Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, which we’re exploring this week. Take it away oh Secret One!!! In light of this weeks Lord Of The Rings special event, I’ve decided to bring you some words of wisdom from Tolkien himself: a great little quotation that, while initially seeming quite obvious, is actually fairly philosophical! Anyway, here it is: “There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the…
Read MoreAfter a long period of hibernation, the Secret Squirrel awakes from his/her slumber and casually eyes off the first of this years weekly comments. So, without further ado, fernbyfilms.com officially welcomes back….. “We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.” ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce
Read MoreThis week’s post from The Secret Squirrel will be his/her last for 2008. Fear not, as the Secret One is going into hibernation over Christmas, and will return fresh and rested in the new year.

Read MoreThis weeks quote comes from one of the great teen flicks of the 80’s, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. “The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It’s a good non-specific symptom. I’m a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you a good phoney fever is a deadlock, but you get a nervous mother, and you could wind up in a doctor’s office – that’s worse than school.

Read MoreWhile surfing the world wide web recently, I came across this quote which I quite liked! It aligns with what Papa Squirrel always told us in the old days. “We must learn to master our thoughts before we are enslaved to our emotions. ” – Steven Romo
Read MoreThis Weeks Comment comes from the movie Hope Floats (1998) Birdee: Beginnings are scary. Endings are usually sad, but it’s what’s in the middle that counts. So, when you find yourself at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up. And it will.

Read MoreLast week, I put forward a riddle: Two coins make up 30c, and one of them isn’t a 10c piece. What are they? It is from the episode My Lucky Night of the third series of hilarious TV Series, Scrubs. J.D. puzzles his antagonist, The Janitor, with the riddle for the whole episode. In the end The Janitor and his friend spent ages at the bank comparing every coin to come up with an answer, when J.D. reveals that the other coin is a 10c piece. The Janitor and his friend then destroyed…
