LG Viewty = 5 Stars!
Advantages: Camera, Screen Size, Music, Free Internet
Disadvantages: Battery Life
...improvement on the "5 megapixel" camera the Samsung G600 had. I'm really pleased with the quality of the images. I think having a proper lens + flash in the camera is better than a small camera with an LED flash. I have to admit, it isn't the best thing to take a picture when you're in the sun but it's really clear and colourful otherwise. Impressed with the editing features, too.
Now, texting and calling. Whoever says you can't type quickly on here is joking. Yes, it is hard to begin with but I find it easier to type on here than with a normal keypad. I find it a lot quicker. Maybe that's just me? It took me a while to discover which button was backspace but I got there in the end and I've got round any problems with texting!
The battery life isn't brilliant, but I managed to take loads of pictures and listen to hours of music on Youtube...

Not 5 Star
Advantages: Good news and fashion pages
Disadvantages: A bad version of Heat
...This magazine is one of the worst celebrity gossip magazines in the UK. Star is a weekly magzine that is published every Monday and is a good price at 99p, how the quality reflects the cheaper proce than other other weekly such as heat and grazia.
Star magazine claimed it was this years official big brother magazine, a title usually held by heat, but this shows the quality of articles on offer.
I often buy this magazine when I want a cheap read for a train journey but having regretted my choice too many times will not be doing so in the future.
Star has been running for nearly 250 issues so a demand for this magazine must still be present but with the credit crunch magazines but be a luxury people are willing to drop. Celebrity magazines may become defunct as people are able to view up to date information now on the web.

Star trek 5, the rubbish film
Advantages: Good music
Disadvantages: story, special effects and acting
...Star trek 5 the final frontier was one of the strangest star trek films to date. It doesn't even have good special effects and the acting is not as good as previous performances. The only good thing about this film is the music done by Jerry Goldsmith.
The story starts with Kirk, Spock and Mccoy camping. But shore leave is soon cancelled and the incomplete USS Enterprise leaves space dock on course for Nimbus 3. A hostage situation has taken place, one of the 3 hostages is a human dimplomat. The other two are a Romulan and a Klingon, both dimplomats. The planet is an attempt at peace which sadly failed, Kirk is given orders to rescue the hostages and beware the Klingons who are also attempting to reach Nimbus 3. Upon arriving at Nimbus 3, Kirk, Spock and Mccoy and an assault party use a shuttle to reach the planet. After a furious...

A 5 Star Hotel for a 5 Star Anniversary
Advantages: Unbelievably luxurious
Disadvantages: Probably won't be able to tolerate a 2 star hotel again
...Niro and with a Michelin-starred chef, guarantees a pricey meal however so Mrs L and I skipped it.
Conclusion
Mrs L had always wanted to stay in a 5* hotel and even with Airmiles the Ritz was well out of my price range. That said, we had a great stay, loved every minute of our A-list lifestyle and have taken a whole load of fond memories away from the experience.
We would both love to do it all over again and would strongly recommend the Metropolitan for anyone looking for stylish, five star luxury and top class service. I am already saving for our 20th anniversary!

Stars
Advantages: Easy to obtain and it's available on lots of formats
Disadvantages: None
...finally found here only for him to apparently take full charge of his little projects. He seems to work better when he delegates...
Here is a list of tracks.
1. Something Got Me Started
2. Stars
3. Thrill Me
4. Your Mirror
5. She's Got It Bad
6. For Your Babies
7. Model
8. How Could I Fall
9. Freedom
10. Wonderland
Track one "Something Got Me Started" is a pop funk fest of oozing sexuality. The bass line, the spoken intro, the whispery "show me" and the backing singing all add up to a smashing song. It was a huge hit and I like the idea of a man realising he's done wrong and how he's trying to get someone back. "Totally broken hearted, guilty of what I did to you, lately since we've parted, I truly know that I need you". It's repetitive in places but it only adds to the song I think.
Title track "Stars" covers...

Turn On to Chanel 5
Advantages: A classic
Disadvantages: Expensive
...Now we're into December, the annual frenzy of consumerism that is Xmas is in full flow, and with it those shopping decisions that will determine whether you spend the festive season in the fun-house, or the dog-house.
Here's my tip for the guys. If you can afford it, buy her CHANEL No 5. It's expensive, but it will tell her you think she's worth every penny! (which of course she is).
It?s probably the most famous brand of perfume in the world, one that everyone has heard of, and she'll know you think she's special.
CHANEL is French (there's a surprise), the French are well known for producing the best fragrances. COCO CHANEL revolutionized the fashion world in the 1920?s, and when she introduced Chanel no.5 in 1923, she was onto a winner with that as well.
One of the good things about CHANEL is that it is timeless. This isn...

Mitsubishi Space Star 1.6 Equippe 5dr
Advantages: All of the ones listed, price, robust, economical, spacious and more
Disadvantages: a little bodyroll due to hight and shape, also a fairly hard suspension.
...I am the proud owner of a Mitsubishi Space Star Equippe 5dr, the car reg is of 2003 I have had it since that year and so far all that it has required maintenance was a couple of tires that I got punctures on, people that ride in it advised me that the car is very quiet, however it does have some noise when on the motorway when is going very fast, this is due to it's shape as is a tall car and therefore has more wind resistance. Overall is a nice car as is small enough for town yet big enough for longer trip and consumption is low.
I do have a small complaint it does have a little body roll when doing tight turns, which means it leans quite a bit when doing these tight turns, but understandably so due to it's height. Having said that it is very versatile as the back sits fold completely flat turning it into a spacious van like car I...

Review of Mitsubishi Space Star 1.6

5 stars for this!
Advantages: Leaves hands so soft
Disadvantages: none.
...feel sort of greasy or almost too soft that your skin feels sort of oily or slippery but this balm doesn?t have any of that, as the balm is absorbed well there isn?t any that has been left over or sitting on top of the skin.
SO WOULD I RECOMMEND?
Yes, definitely, as I have said above, this is one of the best hand moisturisers I have used, and I simply can?t fault it. It is however hard to comment on whether it has protected my nails as they aren?t in bad condition so I don?t know whether there has been any improvement on my nails, but one thing?s for sure my hands are definitely softer and for longer. Overall 5/5.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Dove Protective Hand Balm is available to buy from most beauty stores like Boots, Superdrug and many pharmacies. But also large supermarkets sell it too. Prices range from £1.90 ? £3.00 depending...

Rock Star
Advantages: Well thought out story
Disadvantages: sometimes shallow
...seemed very surprised and gave me a funny look when I told her it was for me that worried me for a start.
The story was interesting because firstly it centred on the lives of three very different contrasting characters that, only shared a wonderful talent. It was fascinating to see what happened to them as the novel went chronologically through all the highs and lows of their lives, all the main developments that went to make them all Rock Stars.
Yes in some ways it was shallow, the way these fortunate people enjoyed such a lavish lifestyle. Full of beautiful young men and women who?s only leisure time pursuit seemed to be having sex. Luckily these scenes were not too graphic in the author?s descriptions of them; instead she left quite a bit of it to your own imagination which was fine by me.
The story built up well leading to a very...
