Last nights of twinkles

Advantages: touristic place known from the world
Disadvantages: ...

...I heard of Eiffel Tower's twinkles of lights stop after the july 14th. Then, I had the opportunity to take photos from the "Lady of Paris" in night, with all its lights. If you want to see a last time, these ephemeral stars, then hurry up to come. Many people come each night to admire "her". These thousand and one stars (I didn't count...) twinkle during few minutes, at 10 PM ans at 11 PM each night, at nightfall. In summer, sky is still light around 10 PM, a dark blue or grey sky at a side, orange and sometime pink and red at sunset side, clouds give relief to sky, mossy or diffused from far. The Eiffel Tower, standed up high to the sky, luminous twinkling in the night. The "Lady of Paris" illuminates, visible from far, like as a lighthouse of tourists attracted by this yellow-orange light. A pencil of blue light at horizontal...

Review of Tour Eiffel, Paris

An Oasis in the desert

Advantages: Vegetation and fresher air
Disadvantages: don't think so...

...Hyde Park by passing the Serpentine, (an 11 hectare huge lake, created in 1730, and where people can rent boats on a Sunday afternoon to relax), and the West Carriage Drive, or the Ring, as it is commonly known. Hyde Park was originally, in 1536, a closed deer park, used for hunting when Henry VIII acquired the manor of Hyde. It was only in 1637 that Charles I opened the park to the public. In 1689, William III made of Nottingham house, his official home, Kensington Palace, which later became the birth place of Queen Victoria and Queen Mary (the actual queens grand mother). When I was a teenager, it was the home of Lady Di, and I often saw helicopters land and take off from the Palace gardens with members and guards of the royal family. This is apparently the only major change in the last 20 years, now, a monument to Lady Di stands in Hyde...

Review of Hyde Park (London)

THE IRISH HAVE SHOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT

Advantages: Great player
Disadvantages: Suspect temper

...now. Mediocre Premiership players like Mark Kinsella (past his best anyway) and Matty Holland must fill the huge breech in the side left by Keane?s absence. Veterans like Niall Quinn and Steve Staunton must guide the team, but they are two more players that on the world stage are no more than ?third rate? these days. So, it will be Ireland ?leaving on a jet plane? from Korea in around a fortnight?s time and maybe when they get home the WHOLE Truth may come out. But hold on?.an 11th hour reprieve. First Irish PM Bertie Ahearne offers to mediate, then we hear that Keane might be able to swallow his pride, apologise to the Manager, catch the next flight out to the World Cup and take his place amongst the world?s great players. Oh come on?.how pitiful is this? Keane is a proud professional ? a WINNER ? OK So maybe a headstrong winner, but...

Review of Roy Keane

Do you believe in time travel? Time to wake up...

Advantages: giant rabbit gives troubled teen a vision of the future!!!
Disadvantages: needs to be watched and digested several times to gain any kind of understanding

...First shown at the Sundance Film Festival in 2001 (an 11 day film festival in Park City, Utah that has become the world's leading showcase for independent cinema), Donnie Darko has since recieved great acclaim for its thought provoking and highly original story. As an independent film, the visual effects rival those seen in some top blockbuster movies, which is something unusual in the sphere of independent cinema until very recent years. The film is imaginative director Richard Kelly's debut achievement - think along the lines of Catcher in the Rye with some sci-fi ideas, social satire and a little 80's teen movie-ness thrown in. But the ideas that he tries to portray in the movie transcend all genre barriers and the great thing is that each time you watch it, you will find a different understanding of your own. The story is set in...

10 things that annoy a bar WOman

Advantages: I get to rant and rave
Disadvantages: You read me ranting and raving

...notes only to come back five minutes later for another 20 coins. You're not going to win again, you've just dropped the jackpot. #4 Last orders We call last orders at 5 to the hour, be it an11pm, 12pm or a 1am bar. So why do the customers wait until the shutters are coming down to come to the bar and say 'Are you shutting the bar I haven't got my round in' TOUGH, you've had five mins to stagger to the bar. #3 Drinking up We have a policy in our club. 30 minutes after last orders all glasses will be lifted whether they are empty or not. But you always get the one customer who holds onto their glass like a new born baby. GO HOME. The pub/club will be open again in the morning. #2 No Entry On the door to the bar is a sign saying 'Staff only'. I know most of you will know what that means, exactly what it says, in...

Review of 10 Things That annoy Barmen

And they were just the support act...!!

Advantages: An exceptional cross section of the artists material, phenomenal performances,digital remastering brings out the very best sound available this side of a hybrid SACD
Disadvantages: Only available on US Import-expensive for a single CD, poor info and interior artwork etc,bonus tracks weak.

.... It still makes the hair on the back of neck stand up even now. DOCTOR DOCTOR a slowish start to an an all-time favourite about a love sick gent (thats still me when I see Colette). Guitar based-a headbanging special. Released as a single in 1979, charted at No 35 and even got the band a ( rather limp) appearance on Top of the Pops I'M A LOSER-probably the most melodic track on the album. almost ballad like start but gets progressivly faster and heavier. LIGHTS OUT-The track which made me buy the album 26 years ago.UFO at their fastest and heaviest best. Absolutly stunning work from Michael and a similar performance from the rest of the band makes it one of the two most essential tracks on the album. Raw, and blistering-it will leave you gasping for more! And more is what you get on the next track... ROCK BOTTOM-An 11...
