    5 Stars Dreams zzzzzzzzzz! 14/07/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Me and my friends have great fun discussing dreams

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Maybe they are not so funny to those who don't know "the characters"

    Please do not comment with any dream analysis attempts, I do not want to know what my dreams mean and I am well aware of the fact that my brain does not function in a normal fashion. For as long as I can remember I have had very vivid dreams. When I try to tell people about them it is like recalling a TV programme I have just watched, in more detail. Sometimes I get quite concerned about my dreams, they can be so bizarre that I worry about my mental state but my friends and I have had some real laughs about it. Only a few nights ago my partner kicked me in the shin and woke me up whilst he was ... more

    5 Stars Download Festival (2011 My experience) Review with images 07/03/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A weekend of pure bliss

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A few minor hiccups, nothing I couldn't get over

    Download Festival Ah, thinking back on Download Festival 2011 makes me a little bit sad, I miss it! It was my first festival, and as you can guess I was so incredibly nervous, but also insanely excited; I was seeing the majority of my favourite bands, in one weekend! I have been wanting to write this for a while, but I could never be bothered getting around to it, but here I am typing away and re-living the best weekend of my life so far. But, not everything goes perfect. The weekend did come with a few hiccups! Purchasing my ticket I chose the 5 day camping plus coach ticket, it cost me £235 ... more

    2 Stars If you get in debt you are completely normal. Review with images 16/11/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Greed is good

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Debt is good

    And so still people blame the debt crisis on the banks, the same people who took out loans to buy nice cars, plasma TVs and that holiday in Kenya. This naïve opinion that capitalism and the west can exist without borrowing has taken hold. The only way banks can make a profit is by lending at 6% and paying 4% interest on savings. How could the regular punter who flat out blames the banks for the recession afford his dream 170,000 mortgage on his 25,000 salary? The bank is lending you 170,000 pounds guys! Where do you think the bank gets that money to lend you? Right, it invests other people’s ... more

    Introduction When it comes down to it I am a complete hoarder. I collect all sorts of bits and pieces for my memory box but the problem is I have so many of these that storage space is crucial. These bits and pieces can include lovely letters from family, photographs, tickets, cards and little tags from special days out. Meaningless to some but meaningful to me; I think collecting these things are a way of documenting my life. However, like I said, space becomes crucial and I often have to sift through these special memories and throw them away until I figured out you could scan just about ... more

    5 Stars A Dogs Delight. Review with images 14/02/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The tug of war is a toy that uses up lots of energy.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None at all.

    We may now be the proud owners of a beautiful sleek black cat but up until a year ago we had the pleasure of being `Mum and Dad` to a Jack Russell terrier, he was more than wonderful in all ways and a faithful and loyal little dog until he passed away aged 18. Like most domestic pets he was spoilt rotten, every Christmas we had to hunt for new toys that would offer him new challenges and he too was quite childlike because he often used to nip under the tree, sniff out his pressies and rip them open when he though that we weren't looking. It never ceases to amaze me just how intelligent animals ... more

    3 Stars DECISIONS 06/02/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Make your own choices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It envolves responsibility

    DECISIONS: Work, relationships and accommodation Young people have to make important decisions about their future: work, relationships, lifestyle, how and where to live…. Referring to work, first of all it is important for you to choose whether you really want to start working right now or you’ d rather prefer continue studying. Start working when you are young is fine, because you have money to spend without giving explanations to your parents, but, at the same time, you are spending your time in a job while other people are improving their skills and studying hard in order to have a good job ... more

    5 Stars D is for DVDs - my top ten of 2009! Review with images 08/01/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great films

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor films

    I'm not a huge cinema fan these days as the multiplexes are all rather expensive and noisy so DVD it is. I can easily rent seven or so films with various Blockbuster deals for the price of just one cinema ticket so I wait for stuff I like to come on disc. Here are my favourite films from 2009! ----Best Animation---- -WALL-E- *****5 Stars***** Wall-E for me was miles ahead of anything else on DVD, animation/cartoon wise. It was grown up and multi-layered so something for all the family. With its eco message, sweet robot love story and brilliant scene setting and thought out narrative it's a ... more

    5 Stars 'Just want to (barn) dance the night away!' 03/01/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages See text.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages See text.

    I would just like to write a review on barn dances (or at least attempt to), after just having come back from a weekend away at one to help my aunty and uncle to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary – that is fifty happy years, for those of you who are not yet familiar with what all of the various numbers of years actually amounts to. For those of you who are also unfamiliar with the world of barn dances and everything that goes with them, you don't actually have to dance about in a barn. This is just the name given to them, and a lot of the time when they are staged the room that is ... more

    5 Stars My Darling Daughters 23/12/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages too many to list

    Disadvantages Disadvantages hard work

    I first became pregnant at 26, I did about 5 pregnancy tests over a week - just to be sure. I had a perfect pregnancy some of you will know that I had a son that died soon after. I got pregnant again at 27 around 3 months after my son had died (I had been advised to wait 3 months before trying for another baby). I had guessed I was having a boy last time so although I wasn't bothered what sex my baby was I think deep down I hoped for a girl (after my son died someone actually said maybe you just can't carry a boy) so that it would be totally different and I wouldn't be wondering whether my son ... more

    1 Star I'm depressed 29/11/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None that I can see.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very hard to recover from.

    These last few months are a time I could well do without, and it is not over yet. Let me explain, I had to retire on ill health grounds and had some monies invested. When the markets started to fall, these started to loose value and so I was advised to diversify to maximise income and growth. Buy good things that were cheap as they would rise, eventually. A good market strategy you might think. So I invested a small sum in some shares that looked good for a reasonable return. Then in June this year my health took a turn for the worse and my medication had to be increased. I can only assume ... more
