    5 Stars Eden - cause of Suez? Review with images 27/01/2009

    EDEN - the cause of Suez? Overview The Suez Crisis, also referred to as the 'Tripartite Invasion', was an attack on Egypt by Britain, France, and Israel in late October 1956. It followed Egypt's - specifically their new Presidednt, General Nasser's - decision to nationalise the Suez Canal. It marks a huge turning-point in British foreign and colonial policy. The Suez Canal is a canal between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. It was designed by British and French architects and built by Egyptian workers. It opened in 1869. Essential as a Western trade route, Egypt's nationalisation of it (it ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages for your opinion

    Disadvantages Disadvantages for your opinion

    Here I sit with my eyes drooping with more luggage under them than Heathrow airport, realising that this is will be my last review of 2005 as I am going away for the month to visit my family for the Christmas holidays this week, so therefore I feel it's time to write about something other than a movie I just watched. So I will sign off with a review on Ciao itself, with the experiences I have had with the site, and some of the members who I have read from to whom I have become to really appreciate. So here goes………… When asked for my Ciao user name I chose to call myself DempseyReview, My god ... more

    5 Stars UNCLE BILL'S EXPLODING GREENHOUSE Review with images 17/04/2005
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Better than an indoor bar

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Tendency to be cold in winter

    As a child it was a matter of curiosity to me that my elderly relative's green house was just that - "green". All the other greenhouses around had conventional glass, you could see inside, rows of little plants in pots, elderly gentlemen lovingly tending their seedlings. But not Great Uncle Bill's! Mysteriously he had painted all the glass green; roof, sides, door - the lot. If anyone asked, he told them that it was to protect the tender plants from the suns rays, as a small boy one did not really question this, but surely the same rays also beamed on Uncle Bill's neighbours greenhouses too ... more

    5 Stars A wonderful eight years of love. 06/11/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Love, fun and happiness

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It ends.

    Eight years ago on Christmas Eve my fiancé, who is now my husband called me into the lounge. “Look at the tree” he grinned “It’s moving” Really busy and rushing around I told him not to be so daft, I looked anyway, and well we do don’t we? There to my surprise there were two little glassy eyes staring out of the pine branches. I thought the light was glinting on the decorations until this bundle of black fur fell out of the tree. That was how I met her. Well now, I just had to marry my fiancée after that surprise! If you have read my op letter to an animal you will know that I have always ... more

    4 Stars Exhibition Time - or "Am I completely crackers?" Review with images 09/10/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages I did something I never thought of doing before!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A serious gamble - but then everything about art probably is!

    As a bit of a pre-amble, I was getting a bit stuck for inspiration about something else to review and fancied a change from writing about household things and bathing products, so it suddenly came to me to "think outside the box" as my Art teacher used to say and write something about . . . well, Art! So this review is about an exhibition that I arranged for last month and which I've just about decompressed after. I've got an idea . . . hang on, what am I actually doing? I can't really remember what came first - the idea to have an exhibition or going onto our local area's Arts Alliance ... more

    5 Stars Eggscellent, eggstravagant and eggstra useful ( 18/01/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The perfect fast food

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The perfect fast food

    EGGS IN GENERAL As a young married couple we usually find that there are too many days in the month and that the money runs out before the days do!! That is were the good old egg comes into its own, many is the time that we have managed to scrape a quick meal together with the use of eggs. To be honest my wife and I have been spoilt rather with eggs, as my in laws live at a cottage on a farm in Galgate, known as ‘The Big Egg’ - where the free range eggs are sold straight from the hen’s, erm, well bums I suppose; these beautiful eggs are £1.80 a dozen and are massive with big golden yolks, so ... more

    Advantages Advantages ?

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ?

    “Why me?” she asked. And in asking the question heard part of the answer. Anyone else would have been worried about the place. “Why here?” half a minute, and a whole question, too late. “Hallowed ground”. Holding her tongue, holding her breath, didn’t stop her whole body sniping “Yes, And?” He smiled. His mouth didn’t move. His half-open lips retained the uncertain look they’d always had whenever she challenged him, but the shallow uncertain trying-to-figure-it breaths weren’t there. He was at ease, he breathed deeply, pleasurably, and his eyes smiled. “Hallowed ground” he said again, quietly ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Its my boy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Nightmare birth story

    I know that many of you will remember what a horrific year I had last year, so here's my happy ending. While out shopping on Saturday 14th October, I had a funny turn. I couldn't speak properly and the words I was trying to say were coming out wrong. Hubby decided to take me straight to hospital to have my blood pressure checked. After a lot of examinations, the Dr's decided I had had a T.I.A -a blockage of blood to the brain that may have been caused by stroke/migraine or unexplained causes. I was kept in for observation. On Monday morning, I awoke at 2am with a sore head. I buzzed the nurse ... more

    1 Star E is for Epilepsy 17/08/2005
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Its made me a stronger person

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Everything else

    What does Alexander the Great, Julius Ceaser, Napoleon Bonaparte and Vincent Van Gogh have in common. Well given the title of this review the answer is fairly obvious....lol. They all suffered from epilepsy. On 9th May this year, the day seemed just like any other, sun shining birds singing. Little did i know that buy the end of the day my life would be turned upside down. I went to a friends house and sat down with a cup of coffee. The next thing I knew i was laying on the sofa and she was telling me that the ambulance was on its way. It turned out that at the age of 35 I had had an epileptic ... more

    Advantages Advantages Memories

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sadness

    My Dad phoned me today. He told me, plainly and simply, that my Uncle Mick, his youngest brother, died this morning. He couldn’t say much else, partly because he didn’t yet have much information but also because he was simply too choked up with emotion. Mick was ten years younger than himself: “He was only eighty,” he said sadly. To many people eighty is seen as old. They’ll say things like, “Well, he had a good, long life…” as though there were no need to grieve the passing of someone of that age. Until I passed fifty, I guess that would have been my attitude too, if you want the truth. *** ... more
