Agatha Christie Lovers discussion

yes,yes and yes!it will be a great honor 4 me!!!

Ms.Marple's Assistant!!!

yes!

i think Hasting's almost give up :D

i would more like to be Poirot's assistant.i think it's more fun.

I WOULD LOVE TO BE an assistant of either of them. They both have different peculiarities and it would be fun to experience their diversity.

I'd love to be Ms.Marple's assistant. Solving mysteries along with gardening and knitting in between.. I couldn't ask for more..

Poirort's definitely. More glamorous.., ha.

Poirot's assistant hands down. He would make me feel like a total idiot while at the same time telling me that he couldn't have solved the mystery without my simplistic insight. Poor Hastings...

But he is very elegant and gentle with ladies, ha....

Poirot's. i have never read ms marples

I think Poirot is to anal for me - I'd always be in trouble. Probably Ms. Marple would be more forgiving.

Ms. Marple is even worse. She'd thwack you with an incisive riposte just for daring to voice your opinion. She's anal with a capital A, and deeply frustrated I think. I can imagine Poirot actually discussing alternative insights in a civilised manner. But not Ms. Marple. Certainly not her. She has her own agenda and is not interested in any form of dialogue. Ms. Marple knows the agenda and that's all there is to it. She's simplistic and essentially infantile, not open to alternatives, stuck in her course which she knows best. All in her head, where wisdom lies. Poirot on the other hand is open to suggestions, and values input and alternative viewpoints that might shed more light on the situation.

Well, I must agree with you David ...Poirot is indeed open to suggestions and this is valuable in any kind of partnership.... Maybe he would be angry right now... Who dares to mention partnership with Poirot!

I don't think Poirot gets angry, just upset when he suspects he's being played with.

I would choose Miss Marple simply because I'd prefer the life in a village.

Neither - I rather be Tuppence and run around the country with Tommy.

I would choose Miss Marple also, for the same reason, I would prefer to live in a village.

That's great! Me too!

It would be nice to work with Ms. Marple in the summer and Poirot in the winter. No, that's not it. Poirot in the summer and Ms. Marple in the winter. No, no. Poirot on the weekends and holidays and Ms. Marple during the week. No wait. Ms. Marple during the spring and fall and Poirot, summers and winters. :)
