At the Apex of the industry

Advantages: Cheap, very comfortable
Disadvantages: None.

..., rather than the Thursday I wanted (i.e. yesterday). Fine, I thought, a quick call to Lastminute and it'll be sorted. The hotel had said they had space, and it wasn't a problem, but Lastminute had to change it. Ok, no probs. Just call Lastminute. *Tears hair out* No chance of speaking to a human. You end up getting lost in a crazy computeried maze and the only way to speak to a human is to go to (you guessed it ) sales. All other requests ask you to go to the bloody website. Anyway, long story short Lastminute gave me short-shrift and said the hotel didn't have space. A lie. They did. I asked them. Apex to the rescue -------------------------- After 45 minutes of arguing with Lastminute, I spoke to the hotel, who very kindly offered to speak to them to sort out the whole sorry mess. To their credit, they did...

Hen weekend - Apex international, Edinburgh

Advantages: Proximity to city, excellent rooms and brilliant staff
Disadvantages: none

...We visited Edinburgh on my hen night and I had previously stayed at the Apex City on buisness which is about 3 doors away from the Apex International. All of our guests were arriving at different times as travelling from far and wide. As the bride I arrived first at 8.30am as my flight was an early one. We checked in but our rooms were not ready, the hotel offered to take our bags and then suggested an excellent breakfast eatery located on the Royal Mile. As we had just landed in Edinburgh we did not have much of a clue how to navigate the city - the staff in reception were excellent and even gave us a free map whislt advising of the best sights to see!! Once we had had breakfast and done some sightseeing, we returned to the hotel to find that our rooms were ready (12.30) We were a party of 8 staying in 2 rooms!! The hotel then...

Apex DVD Player

Advantages: Lasts long time, good performance
Disadvantages: Lack of image playback and surround sound support.

...The APEX DVD player is basically what you get for your money. It offers the basic features of DVD playback but lacks some key features required in todays technology. The DVD player is capable of playing most DVD's however it is quite poor at picture disc playback as it often tells you that there is some form of error. It also lacks LCD display so it is hard to tell features such as time lapsed, chapter number and so on (unless you bring it up on on-screen display). I also found a problem when resuming a film. When you insert the same disc you have just played the player tells you to press the resume button to continue; when there is no such button on the remote or player itself. This DVD player however can take quite a bit of work and perform pretty well. Overall I would say that this DVD player is only recommended for 'cheap...

20 Fragments of a Ravenous Youth: Bittersweet.

Advantages: Realistic, enjoyable, bittersweet.
Disadvantages: Too short, some undeveloped characters, culture differences.

...Written by Xiaolu Guo. 204 pages in paperback. Written in first person. Young Adult + Can be bought new and used for £3+ on ebay.co.uk and new for £4.99 at amazon.co.uk. After finding a copy of A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers in a nearby bookshop and being told it was a good read by others I decided to buy it, and then I discovered I'd left my wallet in my other coat. A few months later after forgetting to come back to that bookshop and buying that book I discovered 20 Fragments of a Ravenous Youth in my local library, naturally I picked it up so I could finally see how good of an author Xiaolu Guo was and see whether or not I should go look for the other books she has written. I can tell you now that I am planning on looking for a copy of her other works, she's brilliant. Fenfang has left the slow and boring...

Samsung NC20 Black

Advantages: Battery life, size and weight
Disadvantages: None so far!

...I have just purchased a Samsung NC20 from Amazon. I originally planned on getting the NC10 after reading lots of fantastic reviews, but I was apprehensive about the size, being approx 10" screen. Anyway I heard about the NC20, and after seeing a HP notebook of the same size, I decided to wait for that instead... Amazon have had the white version in stock for a few weeks, but the Black one only came in this week. Customer service was excellent, I ordered on Wed evening, but due to a problem with my card, the order only went through at 6.30pm on Thursday...it was then delivered at 8.30am on Friday!!! That's what I call express service! The cost was about £375, so it's not the cheapest on the market, but the reviews of the NC10 swayed me in spending a little extra. Anyway I've been pretty much glued to it ever since...

Dr. Greenthumbs Gives You That 20/20

Advantages: A couple of bangers
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

..."20/20" came out in 2006 as the fourth album from the California Hip Hop group, Dilated Peoples. The band consist of Rakaa Iriscience, Evidence and DJ Babu, the latter two of which are both producer (although Evidence raps and does the beats interchangeably). Dilated are quite alternative and so contrast quite genreally from the rest of the West Coast scene as they fit in more closely to the work of locals Jurassic 5, than the Gangsta rappers who dominate this side of the US (in terms of Hip Hop music). 1. "Green Trees" (Intro) 2. "Back Again" This is the lead single to the album and stood as a great follow-up to their 2004 collaboration with Kanye in a track called "This Way". Here you get them alongside The Alchemist and B-Real as they flow with great confidence whilst trying to show how well-developed their raps are. **Five...

Review of 20/20 (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Dilated Peoples

Pretox 20 - alternative to botox injections

Advantages: Really relaxes the facial muscles
Disadvantages: Not as dramatic as botox injections, temporary effect

...stuff on your whole face. Now I've only used this for a couple of days and for now I'm really happy how it's turning out. The packaging says that it will take about 30 days to see a 50% reduction in wrinkles and that you should combine it with retinol products to stimulate the collagen production. Once the thirty days are up, I'll give you an update of whether it's actually reducing wrinkles or if it's just a temporary effect. The active ingredient is 20% Hexapeptide or better known as Argireline. The thing that sets this product apart from most other products is that the concentration of Argireline is much much stronger. Here's is the ingredients list: Water, Alcohol Denat, Glycerin, Xanthan Gum, Hexapeptide-3, Phenoxyethanol, Fucus Vesiculosis Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Phospholipids, Chondrus Crispus (Carageenans...
