tree_and_leafName a character from one of my fandoms and I'll give you (a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon, (b) a reason I dislike him/her, (c) a reason she/he is brilliant, (d) five things that never happened to that character or (e) five people that character never fell in love with and why. You pick the character. I pick the letter.
I am irritated to note that I have about €5 in library fines. I really hate the German system of giving you a stupid little computer printout with the date on it - which I instantly lose - rather than putting a stamp in the back/ front of the book where you can see it at a glance. I also haven't had the postal 'Mahnung' - as I set my preferences to 'contact by e-mail', I assumed if I didn't get an e-mail nothing could be overdue, but apparently they just send out overdue notices by post. This strikes me as expensive and inefficient, but is probably a good way to increase fine revenue....

He developed something of a crush on her, but even if it hadn't been for the Uncle Peter factor, he'd never have dared verbalise it - except as a joke. He had difficulty admitting to himself that he found intelligent, strong-minded women attractive, because that would also have meant admitting he found them bloody scary.
2. He loves downhill skiing, the faster and more dangerous the better.
3. He read English. The only reason he got a second rather than a third or a pass- which on the whole would have fitted his philosophy of life better was that at the start of his last term, he woke up from a dream where he'd been telling Uncle Peter he'd been ploughed.... His mark was also pulled up by a question touching on early printed books, which he was able to answer brilliantly.
