Samsung B3310 - but its pink!!

Advantages: Cheap, performs core functions well
Disadvantages: No data cable, location of memory card slot

...Introduction Whilst out shopping my wife suddenly decided that she needed a new phone as she wasn?t happy with her LG Cookie that she had only had for six months. As she is on a sim only contract, it meant that we would have to pay for a new phone for her. Previously she has always liked Samsung phones so when she saw the newly released B3310, she decided it was the one for her. Purchasing the phone We bought the phone in-store from the Carphone Warehouse for £49.95 but we also had to buy £10 airtime on top of this. If we had chosen not to buy the airtime then the phone would have cost £99.95 instead which seemed a bit strange but evidently all phone manufacturers do this. We had the choice of 2 colours, light blue or pink. Unsurprisingly my wife went for the pink phone which will pretty much ensure that I...

Millennium Hotel - Abu Dhabi

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: More of a business Hotel than for lesuire

...I decided to treat my mum and me to a short break to Abu Dhabi last year and choose the Millennium Hotel to stay in. We managed to find a taxi easily enough at Abu Dhabi airport and after a short drive (30mins) we arrived at the hotel. On first impressions I was a little disappointed. I had all these grand images in my head, but in reality the hotel seemed pretty standard. The room itself was quite basic (considering the price we paid), but it was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel does have a nice swimming pool (although a little on the small side) and area for catching some sun. Getting around Abu Dhabi was fairly easy, taxi's are always available and very cheap. One trip I would recommend is the desert safari and evening barbecue. Driving up and down the sand dunes in the deserts was thrilling, I was...

Samsung PS50B451

Advantages: Brillaint TV
Disadvantages: Hard to get used to

...One of the TVs in my house has just been replaced, we was lucky enough to get a deal on the Samsung PS50b451 instead of it costing around the £700 asking price a friend of ours used her staff discount and along with some vouchers, the TV cost us around £350 which is brilliant for what it is. bit of a bargain actually. I thought I would review it to see if it is actually worth the £700 asking price to those who aren?t as lucky as us to have a friend who works in a shop that sells them. Why choose this one? The reason that we choose this particular TV is that we wanted one in the 50 inch size range to replace the old one, and when we had a look at the range available we found that this one was not only the cheapest for what it is, but also we found that this one was the better looking of the three we narrowed our choice down to...

Great value half-way between Dubai and Abu Dhabi

Advantages: Peaceful, lovely pool, helpful staff, nice rooms
Disadvantages: Middle of nowhere, food not brilliant.

...I wasn't expecting too much from this hotel, but was pleasantly surprised. My husband was being sent on a few days business trip to Dubai during the school half term, and I decided to tag along at the last minute with our two kids. With only a day to go I didn't expect a great choice of hotels. Sure enough, the only hotels coming up with suitable vacancies were the Kempinski at $850 a night (no thank you!) and this one, at $170 a night. I was a bit confused though as several hotel finder sites put it as Dubai, but the address was Abu Dhabi. Looking on the map we found why, it is nearly exactly haflway between the two emirates. As my husband was working quite nearby and we had a hire car, this was not a problem. If you come from Dubai, it is about 40 minutes drive from the airport (but could be longer if you are unfortunte...

Review of Golden Tulip Al Jazira, Abu Dhabi

Abu Garcia 6500 one of the best reels you will use.

Advantages: Strong and a nice size.
Disadvantages: None really

...Many people who fish dislike using the multiplier reel and stick to the fixed spool type ( type with bail arm that you move over the top of the spool). Although the fixed spool type is very easy to use and most probably one of the first reels we all use, the multiplier, once mastered, is a much better reel. The ideal starter is the Abu Garcia 6500. Not only a starter reel but one you will keep for ever. These reels are strong and nice in size without being too big. These reels come in different models but are all very similar. They come with level wind, which loads the line on to the reel in an even way to save you doing it manually. and so the line leaves the reel in an even way to increase distance. These reels can be used on your beachcaster from the beach or for use on a boat, but not really for wreck fishing. Spares for these...

abu simbel

Advantages: absolutely breathtaking - far better than the pyramids
Disadvantages: expensive

...On a weeks cruise down the Nile we opted for an excursion to Abu Simbel. After paying out loads of cash for the holiday of a lifetime I decided we weren't going to miss out on any excursions. An extra £500 and a wake up call of 5am we had breakfast and caught an internal flight. After climbing off the coach we began the short walk to the temple. There were street vendors on the road down to the temple, selling souvenirs and ornaments, who were probably the most polite vendors that we found in Egypt. There were also a few kiosks selling cold drinks and snacks. Our guide took us on the short cut up over the hill instead of walking around the road. At the top of hill we were greeted by the most impressive manmade sight I have ever seen - the temple was far bigger than you can ever imagine. The whole group that we were with, were speechless...

Bun B Tha Trill

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: A couple of tracks let it down

...The Port Arthur, Texas rapper Bun B released his debut solo album, "Trill", in 2005 due to the fact that his band mate, Pimp C, was incarcerated, and therefore couldn't work with him to make another UGK album at the time. Together, they have been in the rap game since the late eighties, and were part of the movement to get the southern sound out to the masses. 1. "The Inauguration" (Intro) 2. "Bun" To get things underway you have him dropping a track, which after he has told us about his role as the president of the H-Town Rap scene, finds him showing exactly why he deserved to take up this position (despite not actually being from here) as he is one of few to make the H-Town sound go to all the far reaches of the globe. **Four Stars** 3. "Get Throwed" On this one you have the single collaboration of Bun with his partner in...

The 'B' Word

Advantages: Good story, quite witty
Disadvantages: Possibly not for male readers

...territory, not only in the form of the private investigators themselves, but also as authors of the genre, and it seems that as a species, they're going all out to give the men a run for their money. Sue Grafton, Kentucky-born author with a mystery-writing heritage, brings us a thirty-two year old P.I. with the androgynous handle of Kinsey Millhone (what's wrong with giving a female detective a feminine name, I wonder?) who ticks most of the qualifying boxes, knows how to handle a gun and has no qualms about using it. In B is for Burglar, the second in the so-called 'Alphabet' series, Kinsey (let's be chivalrous and call her by her forename) is approached by a woman anxious to trace her sister, of whom nothing has been heard for six months or more. There's no love lost between the siblings, but the two women are among a number...

Oral B Essential Dental Floss

Advantages: A product which did the job well and improved the state of my teeth
Disadvantages: None

...I like to take care of my teeth and am a regular visit to the dentist. I brush twice and day and yet on every visit to the dentist I was finding that I was still needing a scale and polish from the hygenist. I am not a fan of this treatment and find it quite uncomfortable so asked the dentists advice on how i might combat the build up. She recommended using dental floss on a daily basis. It was a common thing but something which I had previously never bothered with but gave it a go. I opted for Oral B Essential Floss when scouring the shelves purely because I know Oral B is a leading name in the dentistry world so assumed their product would do the job well. I was amazed to find that in this little plastic pot you would get 50 metres of floss! Not quite sure how they fitted it all in but I felt I was getting a lot of floss for my...
