    4 Stars SUNRISE ASHFORD - SUNSET OPOLE - HERE WE GO AGAIN! Review with images 19/11/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages We Enjoy Driving, Take All your Luggage, No Hanging Around at Airports

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Long Journey = Long Review!

    I have chosen to update this review, originally published some years ago, and updated in 2008, as we are very soon to undertake this very journey. THE DISCLAIMER 1) The photograph of myself driving at 220km/hr (134mph) was taken on a de-restricted motorway in Germany. At the time of writing this is still a completely legal act as long sections of the motorway still have no speed limit there. Adittionally I am a very experienced driver of some 30 years standing and cover an annual mileage of between 25,000 - 30,000, around 10% of which is on German autobahn. 2) The photograph was taken by my ... more

    5 Stars Self-Harm Conference - 1st March Self-Injury Awareness Day! 01/03/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent conference, excellent speakers, raising awareness

    Disadvantages Disadvantages This review might not make much sense to Ciao members!!!

    This is a bit of a different review as it's not something I've written specifically for Ciao.....so here goes nothing! As many of you know I have personal experience of self-harm (which I have written about here - http://www.ciao.co.uk/MemberAdviceonSelf​harmReview5614015 ) An important part of my life is being a volunteer director/trustee of Self-Injury Support in North Cumbria (SIS) which is a charity based in Carlisle (but covering all postcodes beginning with CA - there's actually another charity SAFA which covers LA postcodes) - we offer lots of services, but the main one is free ... more

    5 Stars Tis An Art To Being Superstitious 15/02/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Some Are Cool

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some Are Scary

    Tis An Art To Being Superstitious………. I noticed a review by the lovely little Katygriff about Superstitions and looked it up on the Internet and found it very interesting indeed. So I looked at all the different Superstitions and decided to do this review in alphabetical order, so touch wood you lot will enjoy it…………….. Ambulance- Well most of us know the old saying that if you see the back of an ambulance it's bad luck. But according to this site you can break the bad luck if you pinch your nose or hold your breath until you see a black or brown dog. Now excuse my ignorance but if I am ... more

    3 Stars The pain from Suicide and Sorrow 30/07/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Definately NONE

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Having to cope with it and always wondering why?

    Fortunately, lot of people will never have to experience the effects of a person close to you committing suicide, and to be very honest they have no idea how lucky they are never to have to deal with a death this way. Suicide is one of the hardest forms of grief that a person will ever have to deal with, and the destruction it does to the family of the victim. On 11th of April 1995, I found out exactly how it felt to lose a family member through suicide. I can still remember that day perfectly clear even to this day. A police office knocked my front door and asked if he could come in, straight ... more

    5 Stars That Citric Sensation… The Satsuma! 24/05/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Satsuma's are quite delicious, reviewing them helps show the most delicious types

    Disadvantages Disadvantages What happens when someone mentions the clementine?

    Headnote This is a review of the different types of satsuma available. My review does not contain any information on the clementine. They are not the same thing! If you say they are, after reading this item, then something bad will happen... I just haven't decided what yet... I am writing my review in the UK and for that reason it is most reliable here, but I will try to keep it interesting for everyone. I realised something quite horrible over the last week. Now that all the elves have passed over the Western Sea beyond mortal sight; (read: I have no more time for fantasy books to enjoy.) I ... more

    5 Stars Do you want some free food? Review with images 31/10/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Tasty, unusual and FREE

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A short season and very regional

    SAMPHIRE In today’s credit crunch days did you know that there is a food that grows wild and is completely free I remember the day’s years ago, when a trip to our local fish market for a nice piece of cod (yes it was THAT long ago!!), that in with you succulent cod fillet the fishmonger would throw in a handful of bright green, seaweedy stuff "on the house". It usually got thrown away!! I have to admit that it is only in the last few years since we moved to a coastal area that I have become properly aware of samphire, and so I thought that I would share all I now know about it with you ... more

    4 Stars The Swedish Challenge - I must be mad! 28/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Nope, can't think of any!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's rather odd in places....

    I thought it would be fitting, on my return, to attempt this challenge. Before I start I would like to say a big thank you to those of you who have been so kind to me and have been understanding of my brief absence. That's the sensible stuff out of the way let the challenge begin… ~ List of 5 celebrities you're allowed to have your wicked way with even if you have a significant other (pinched it from Friends where Ross fails to leave Isabella Rosselini on his and then meets her). When it's finished you must be prepared to laminate it and never touch it again ... more

    1 Star Symphysis Pubic Dysfunction Review with images 03/08/2005
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Painful and debilitating

    SYMPHYSIS PUBIS DYSFUNCTION I am writing about this condition bacause I am currently suffering with it during pregnancy. If my review is of any help to people who may not know about the problem or are brushed aside by people who are unaware of the pain you are in, then all the better. What is SDP? ** The medical bit** I have included a picture of the Pelvis at the bottom of the review. This is from the British DSP Support Group. ( www.spd-uk.org/) " The pelvic girdle is made up of three large bones, the Sacrum (base of the spine) and two large isometric bones which form a joint at the front ... more

    3 Stars Story with a double twist! 11/09/2004
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages A bit of fun to entertain you hopefully

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Mwah, mwah, mwah!!

    It was dark and quiet as John Williams drove along the narrow country lane. John owned his own motor company and was driving to Exeter to look for new business premises. His eyes peered through the windscreen as the wipers made a futile effort to slap away the rain, which had continued non-stop since he had left the London office. The hedges bristled indignantly as he passed, a few reaching out long wooden fingers to scratch at their assailant. John drove on for a while but was becoming increasingly uneasy, as the darkness seemed to close in on him, creeping forward from all directions. John ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages n/a

    Last night I watched the first installment of the drama (in America it will be called a "mini-series", or perhaps on this occasion "television event") "The Path to 9/11". I found it riveting and terrifying, the sense of inevitability as the U.S. continued to miss the gravity of the growing terrorist movement in the years between the original attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, leading up to September 11, 2001. On September 11, 2001, I was at home in Scotland, where I had moved from New York City four months previously. I, like many people, saw the attacks as they happened on television ... more
