6 new books to join the Mr Men and little Miss series.

Which Mr Men or Little Miss character would you best describe yourself as and why?



I would be Little Miss Sunshine because I love the sun and I am nearly always happy and cheerful.



"Mr Men" to get six new friends
Mr Men, among the world's most popular children's book characters, are to get six new friends 15 years after the death of their creator Roger Hargreaves.
His son has penned the tales of Mr Cool, Mr Rude, Mr Good, Little Miss Bad, Little Miss Scary and Little Miss Whoops.
Adam Hargreaves took over the running of the multi-million pound Mr Men empire after his father died of a stroke in 1988 at the age of 53.
Adam had been the original inspiration for the books when he asked his father what a tickle looked like. The result was "Mr Tickle", the first in a series which went on to sell over 100 million copies worldwide.
A spokeswoman for publishers Egmont Books told Reuters that the first four new books will be published in April and the two others in September.

Id be Little Mister Dangerously Unbalanced. I could have a whole series of fascinating adventures which always end with a party with little Johnie, Mr Chainsaw and Mrs Gardening Shears

I'd be Mr Fussy. I even irritate myself wanting everything to be - well, just how I want it. I don't actually straighten blades of grass or separate the marmalade from the bits like Mr Fussy, but I do separate the raisins from the crunchy bits in my breakfast cereal! Perhaps I should get out more.

I would say Mr Tall (6.4)but I now there are a few really tall PHers *cough, Daz* lurking around here. I would also say Mr Rush but I know there are a few others *cough, cough, Daz* with faster cars.

I guess I'm left with Mr Uppity.

I can't remember wat they all were - can someone post a link?

Was there a 'Mr Sarcastic Pushy Twat'?

Edited to say: Hey - looks like Mr Uppity might be the one for me

I don't believe they've written about a "Mr Loudmouthed Opinionated Slob" yet, or Mr "Tall with a Highly Developed Waistline" so I've got to say I'm like none of em.

DAZ

MARA - I'm 6'4" and a bit I think, not quite 6'5", so you can be Mr Tall if you want. You could qualify as Mr Rush on the basis I don't go above "proper" speed limits (This is on the basis Mr Rush has not been discontinued because speed kills).

I bought Mr Big some cufflinks of Mr Perfect - which everyone thinks are very apt. He wears them to work as well.

Anyway for CarZee you have the choice of the following Mr Men
Tickle, Silly, Uppity, Small , Daydream, Jelly, Lazy, Noisy, Clumsy, Nonsense, Messy, Clever, Brave, Rush, Busy, Impossible, Tops, Dizzy, Strong, Quiet, Nosey, Tall, Cheerful, Grumpy, Slow, Mischief, Grumble, Bounce, greedy, Mean, Bump, Snow, Worry, Chatterbox, Fussy, Skinny, Happy, Funny, Wrong, Sneeze, Muddle and TopsyTurvey. I think.

Slighty O/T, but in a pub quiz a while ago the tie breaker was to name the 7 dwarves.

Both my team and the other one got 5, but we won as we decided to at least try to blag the other two.

Sexy and funky..

I'd be Mr. 'Pi**ed off with PC liberals who can't see what's going on in front of their own noses.'

That or Mr. Mischeif (http://pages.eidosnet.co.uk/pobotrol/whomischief.htm)

RICH

Have a rec. I've just got in from the pub (90 minute visit) and clicked on this thread which was the last one I was on. I'm sorry mate but I can't stop laughing at the idea of walking into a bookshop and buying your version of a Mr Men book.

Absolute class.

Evidently, I'm short on redeeming features in Mr Men terms
