Doors Closing

Advantages: Compelling enough crime story
Disadvantages: Not a patch on the Rebus stories

...Doors Open - Ian Rankin Before I talk about the book ?Doors Open? written by Ian Rankin let me tell you a little story of my own. Many years ago I was the chief cashier in a branch of a high street bank. It was a small branch with a low foot flow of customers. However, it was in the very wealthy Belgravia area of London so what customers we did have were of the well heeled variety, premiership footballers and senior politicians were regulars. Even if they weren?t famous many of our customers were titled and came from famous families. These customers requested a lot of cash over the counter so we would hold rather more in our safe than similar sized branches elsewhere. Most weeks this would be around two to three hundred thousand pounds, at busy times it could reach perhaps three quarters of a million pounds. The money was held...

Review of Doors Open - Ian Rankin

Sliding Doors

Advantages: Easy To Watch
Disadvantages: Nothing Fantastic

...Sliding Doors is a film which brings to the screens the question ?what if?? it was released in 1998 and is still managing to bring in plenty of viewers due to its unique story and layout which has been copied, but not as successfully, since. What?s it all about? The movie is a romance story about Helen, the film follows her in her struggles through her life, work and especially her love life. The starting and main point of the film is at the beginning, she is catching a train which turns out to be a major pinpoint of her life. The film is then split into two stories, one in which follows on from her catching the train, and one of which follows on from her missing the train. This small event in Helen?s life changes everything and the consequences of either one is flashed back to throughout the film, and she experiences...

clio dci 80 expression 5 door metallic black

Advantages: good power nice drive and all round decent motor
Disadvantages: no alloy wheels

...i bought a clio 1.5 dci 80 expression 5 door, i must say what a little car this is the engine the looks and the power it has for such a small engine is really good. i bought one with 40k on the clock with fsh and it runs like a dream no problems in the cold ever, it handles extremely well. i must say the rear seating room is not enough but it has a big boot so it kinda makes up for it. it has 60k on the clock now and still feels tight and firm every time i get ito the car u feel safe. i changed the stereo to a jvc head unit put some seat covers on the interior and looks the business now. was worth the money i spent only 5k for the car, but do need to be looked after as its a diesel, the turbo sounnds quiet good also with a whistle and a slight tttssss off the wastegate. all round good motor worth the money much recommended if...

sliding doors

Advantages: great movie, great actors, great storyline
Disadvantages: Some people may find the movie hard to follow.

...Sliding doors is one of my all time favorite films! made by director Peter Howitt he has really made a different kind of film that makes you use your brain. It follows the life of helen (actress Gwyneth Paltrow) Who works in PR and lives with her writer boyfriend, unbeknown to helen her boyfriend gerry (actor John Lynch) Is cheating on her with an ex girlfriend, Helen goes to work as normal but gets sacked due to sexist male employees! Then the story really starts, Helen gets into the lift and makes her way to the tube station, then the screen splits, One helen catches the train, whilst the other helen misses the train ( They are both still the same person the story follows would would and wouldnt have happened if she caught or missed the train) The helen that misses the train has to get a taxi and gets mugged therefore she misses...

Review of Sliding Doors (DVD)

Sliding Doors

Advantages: Thoughtful Rom Com, Engaging, Warm
Disadvantages: Some OTT performances

...Sliding Doors - Film Only review What different path would your life follow if you happened to say, miss a tube-train by only a second? What effect would that second have on your life? Would it be different? Or is your destiny inextricably mapped out? Sliding Doors, directed by Peter Howett (of 'Bread' fame) explores this question, following the life of recently fired PR Girl Helen (Gwyneth Paltrow) as she misses a train in one scenario but catches it in another. The movie cleverly switches between the two storylines - in the first, after catching the train, Helen arrives home early to find her boyfriend Gerry (John Lynch) enthusiastically entertaining his brash American bit-on-the-side (the ever-sexy Jeanne Tripplehorn). In the other, missing the train, she arrives home much later to find Gerry guiltily washing...

Evanescence-The Open Door

Advantages: Brillant stuff
Disadvantages: one or two lacking tracks

...Evanescence:The Open Door Evanescence a well know heavy metal'gothic' band (Although I wouldn't put the gothic in there') First released their debut album 'Fallen' in 2003 and followed that up with their live DVD 'Anywhere But Home' in 2004. In 2006 with Wind-UP Records they released this album 'The Open Door.' In my oppinion it is a great album, although I do prefer their previous album 'Fallen'. Their tracks 'Lithium' and 'Call Me When You're Sober' both have Music video's which are to a great standard. The Band Members Current Members Amy Lee ? lead vocals, piano, keyboards Terry Balsamo ? lead guitars Tim McCord ? bass Former Members David Hodges ? keyboards, piano, drums, backing vocals Ben Moody ? lead guitars Will Boyd ? bass John LeCompt ? rhythm...

Doors and windows for your lego house

Advantages: gives more options for lego building projects
Disadvantages: nnone

...My grandson aged 6 years old is getting very creative with his Lego. For Christmas we bought him LEGO® Doors & Windows 6117. In this box are doors and windows, shutters too. There are 100 pieces Lego says but I have not counted them. There are yellow windows red windows white windows of different sizes there are green shutters. Yellow doors blue doors red doors. There is clear plastic window glass for the frames. The windows and doors are a variety of different shapes and sizes. Now my grandchildren can be really creative and build a house or doctor?s surgery with as many windows and doors in it as they like. They will not be restricted by the number of windows, doors that come in other brick sets. This set of windows and doors is suitable for a child aged 4 and over. I think a 5-6=7 years old will get the best from it...

Review of Lego Model 6117: Doors & Windows

Red Door

Advantages: Smells lovely
Disadvantages: None

...I Love this product its my 'signature' perfurme whenever I wear people always say I smell nice (which is nice!). The price has dropped over the years and you can pick up a bottle of Red Door eau de Toilette Spray 100ml from Superdrug for as little as £16.99 and if you are an ebay user cheaper still. Smell Quote 'Sensuous blend of deep, rich florals features a captivating scent that fills the senses. A very feminine scent.' - Totally agree with this statement it's a lovely fragrance. Packaging Comes in an elegant bottle as per photograph. Sizes= Can be bought in either 25ml, 50ml or 100ml bottle Summary Good value for money fragrance, goes well with the lotion (which is makes the skin feel very smooth). An ideal gift. I always seem to go back to the perfume time and time again, a change is always good, but this is...

Review of Elizabeth Arden Red Door Eau De Toilette Spray

The Open Door

Advantages: Great songs, great vocals, lovely album cover
Disadvantages: "Your Star"

...to give my thoughts on this CD. **Cover and Packaging** This is one aspect of the album that really stands out. The cover is beautiful, with Amy Lee in a flowing dress standing by an open door. The CD doesn't come in a plastic case - it's one of those that's sort of a shiny cardboard, with a plastic inlay for the disk to rest in. On the inside of the cover, there's an attached booklet, with information, lyrics and glossy photo's. The booklet has a classic 'old' feeling to it, and I like the fact it's attached to the box - too often I lose these paper inlays. The disk itself is a dark blue, with golden markings on it that look quite mystical. The packaging really fits with the feel of the music, and the 'look' Evanescence have. **Tracks** 1. Sweet Sacrifice 2. Call Me When You're Sober 3. Weight of the World 4. Lithium 5...

Review of The Open Door - Evanescence

Open that red door!

Advantages: Last ages on the skin but thankfully it has a nice scent lol
Disadvantages: It is a more mature fragrance

...the younger generation are rushing out to get the 'z Lister's perfume's' but to me they are too light, expensive and full of bloody Freesia's or white flowers that make me want to be sick! Besides they are so common and sorry to be snooty but I do appreciate a bit of class and originality with my fragrances! As this perfume has been around since 1989 (It was the first Elizabeth Arden fragrance , named after the first beauty spa opened and is the Arden signature perfume) it's a bit old fashioned to them. Unjust! I call you all to go out sniff and make it popular again!!!! Best Prices I have Found: 25ml Eau De Toilette Spray £20.00 (Boots) 25ml Eau De Toilette Gift Set including 50 ml shower gel and 100ml body cream (on offer) £9. 95 (Superdrug) 100ml Eau De toillette £18.95 (Superdrug) 100ml Eau De Toilette with 5ml Eau De parfum...
