...which one would you be?

lottiegarbanzo Fri 22-Feb-13 08:07:25

Surely the only girls who read ff are those who want to be George. Anne would read something fluffier.

MardyBraWouldDoEddieRedmayne Fri 22-Feb-13 08:08:32

I would be George. Anne is a bit more NM than MN I think.

MousyMouse Fri 22-Feb-13 08:08:36

abosutely george!
lottie may have a point, though.

MardyBraWouldDoEddieRedmayne Fri 22-Feb-13 08:09:08

DS has just told me he'd like to be Timmy (figures).

TheDeadlyDonkey Fri 22-Feb-13 08:10:28

I always wanted to be Timmy.

FancyPuffin Fri 22-Feb-13 08:11:07

George definitely.

Can't imagine anyone wanting to be Anne, her special skills were preparing supper and cleaning hmm

MrsJohnDeere Fri 22-Feb-13 08:11:25

It has to be George

MardyBraWouldDoEddieRedmayne Fri 22-Feb-13 08:12:00

Is anyone a Dick here?

MousyMouse Fri 22-Feb-13 08:12:24

not timmy, poor thing gets left alone a lot in dodgy places and has to squeeze through spider infested tunnels.
we got the blue ray with all tv episodes. love to watch them!

MardyBraWouldDoEddieRedmayne Fri 22-Feb-13 08:14:11

What about Aunt Fanjo Fanny or highly dodgy Uncle Quentin?

JollyRedGiant Fri 22-Feb-13 08:16:03

I'm quite good at preparing supper, but no good at cleaning. So I'd be a rubbish Anne. George it is I suppose.

In Narnia I'd be Polly. Or Lucy.

sunnyshine Fri 22-Feb-13 08:17:02

Mousey where's that from? My dd would love that!

IvorHughJangova Fri 22-Feb-13 08:17:29

I would def be Anne because in the pictures her hair always did that curl-under swish thing I always imagine I can achieve with a bob, but never quite get right

Sixparrotspullingupcarrots Fri 22-Feb-13 08:25:44

My friend and I always have this argument. We both want to be George and she says I'm more like Anne because I have a baby. I think she's more like Anne because she cooks pear and chocolate tarts from scratch and loves Cath Kidston.

PostmanPatsBlackandWhiteCat Fri 22-Feb-13 08:29:48

I would be George. When I was a child I used to pretend to be George all the time I even used to dress like a boy as well blush

almapudden Fri 22-Feb-13 08:32:30

I always wanted to be Dick (snerk). As a child, I was an even more raging misogynist than dear old Enid herself. Why (I thought aged 7) would you want to be a girl who looked like a boy, when you could be an actual boy?

Not Julian, though. He was a terrible prig.

Swallows and Amazons looked fun. Camping on an island by yourself.
Titty looked to have the best fun in that.

Aunt fanny (arf) but really I would most probably be Anne my sister and I always had this arguement as kids but she was right she was definitely more like George and I'm like Anne sad

Takver Fri 22-Feb-13 08:36:35

Def George, and I'd bog off & go & find some better friends grin

Who I'd really like to be is Nancy from Swallows & Amazons

almapudden Fri 22-Feb-13 08:37:57

I'd be Titty. She was a cool girl.

LivingInAPinkBauble Fri 22-Feb-13 08:51:08

As a child I could relate to Anne-I liked the fact she got free rein over the house! Always thought Susan got the raw deal in Swallows and Amazons, I liked Dorothea as she got to go on the broads, oh and had her own house too thinking about it.

MardyBraWouldDoEddieRedmayne Fri 22-Feb-13 10:06:09

Titty...Fanny...Dick...

Such innocent times.

Psammead Fri 22-Feb-13 10:08:40

I'd like to be George, but I fear I'd be Julian.

MardyBraWouldDoEddieRedmayne Fri 22-Feb-13 10:11:14

Why would you be Julian Psammy?
