It's one I read a long time ago, when I was at middle school, which means I can narrow down some dates. I was at my middle school from around 1990 to 1994, so obviously it was printed on or before those dates. I'm pretty sure I got it from the school library, which narrows down the types of books. I'm in the UK, if that makes any difference.
The story is something I can't place exactly, but I do remember that it was about 2 people growing up in a mostly abandoned city, things were huge in proportion to them, which implied that the original citizens were larger in stature than the protagonists. When I think of it I get images of toppled statues and busts, broken on the floor. I also get images of checkered floor designs. There was a "mystery" theme in place, with the protagonists not knowing much about themselves or their surroundings.
This is about all I can get down at the moment, but I'm sure if prompted with questions, I could come up with more. Does any of this ring any bells? --Rixxin 11:09, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
I've just been playing a bit of Ico and the feel of the huge empty castle, with lots of monolithic walls and statues resonates with my memory of this book. --Rixxin 11:24, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
On one episode, Tawny asks, "What is Louis doing?" What episode was that question from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.2.209.254 ( talk) 12:44, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm trying to think of the title of a movie I saw probably around 10 or so years ago. I believe it's a little older than that - but I'm not sure. All I can remember is it begins with a battle in space between two spacecraft, flying around and shooting at one another. Eventually, one seems to spiral around and the movie cuts to a young girl playing in a sandpit when she starts crying - it turns out that the spaceship is embedded in her hand.

I remember seeing a film on television, (mid 50's - mid 60's)? about a group of civilians working on the German Atlantic Wall who become trapped in one of the supply bunkers during an allied air raid. They survive for years due to the supplies. But over time become despondent, isolated and seek their own space. One or more ultamitly commit suicde. Eventually, in 1955 I believe, one or more are rescued when the remnants of the Atlantic wall are being dismantled. I believe this is based on a true story.
Any information on the film or the actual events (or where I could find such information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.

What kind of crutches does Bill Shannon use? Is there a name for that style of crutch? Is there anywhere I can purchase this type of crutch? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.237.183 ( talk) 23:16, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
