When in Aroma...

Advantages: seems like a good deal
Disadvantages: isn't

...Exactly how much do you have to eat in an ?all you can eat? restaurant before it actually becomes free? Before you?ve consumed enough to reduce the food to cost-price, and from there on in you?re effectively eating for nothing? To be honest, I don?t know. But it?s questions like these that mean that I?m never able to fully enjoy a visit to Aroma. Even when I?m starting to sweat sweet ?n? sour sauce in thick, orange gobbets, the voice is always at the back of my mind: Why stop eating now? You?ve paid for this already. You can eat FOREVER and it won?t cost you another penny! I don?t CARE if you?re about to throw up a fistful of lychees! EAT! EAT! EEEEAT!! I?m sure you feel the same. It?s like going to a wedding with a free bar. It becomes physically impossible to stop drinking until you get into such a state that you punch the bride...

Bottled at Source: A Good Vintage

Advantages: A great album of rare and unreleased material with a "best of" compilation attached.
Disadvantages: None to speak of. Lyrics in the sleeve notes would have been a good addition.

..., when I heard that they were releasing a ?best of? compilation, I jumped at the chance to get it. Turin Brakes are more in tune with their fan base than most groups, and with ?Bottled At Source: The Best of the Source Years? they have outdone themselves. Not only have they pulled together their ?greatest hits? with a 17-track CD, but they have also included a second, 17-track bonus disc of rare and previously unreleased material of excellent quality. A BIT ABOUT THE BAND The ?folk duo? of Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian almost defy categorisation. Friends since childhood, this UK band out of Balham, South London have a unique sound built around acoustic guitars, simple instrumentation, outstanding, perceptive and moving lyrics and Knights? instantly recognisable voice. The band have stated, on record, that their enigmatic name is...

Aroma my arse!

Advantages: FSC certified, cheapish, your butt may smell a little sweeter?
Disadvantages: STINKS, your butt may smell like an old lady!

...I went shopping last week with my other half, this is highly unusual, usually I go alone with my shopping list in hand and whip round the isles just buying the same products all the time. This time was slightly different, for a start it took twice as long because we were talking and considering different products on the way round. Having my other half in tow can be likened to having a small child with you when shopping, he gets bored! I sent him off to get a few products here and there that were on my list and one of them was toilet roll, I sent him to get a four pack of our usual toilet roll Asda shades. What he came back with was slightly different! We (or should I say I) usually get the standard shades product in whatever colour comes to hand first. My other half came back with a Shades pack but it was Shades Aroma. I had...

Counterstrike source

Advantages: Very realistic gameplay online, provokes good team play
Disadvantages: No single player storyline and online mode very difficult for beginners.

...Counter strike: source is an exciting and realistic fps (first person shooter). Although it is becoming older in the gaming world and being surpassed by new games with higher graphics and more complex game play it is still one of the most played multiplayer games you can buy. It was voted ?Multiplayer Game of the year? by PC Games Magazine when it was first released in 2005. The bonus with this game is that it comes with 2 extra games free when you install the ?Steam? application to run the game. These are Half-life 2: Deathmatch and Day of Defeat: Source. Before counter strike I often got fed up of the unrealism of fps shooters. Such as players still standing after numerous shots taken to the head and bullets stopped by wafer thin wooden doors. This game changes all this and invites you into a realistic world of game play where...

Aroma burst handwash

Advantages: Gets hands clean
Disadvantages: Fragrance too subtle, expensive

...I always keep a bottle of handwash in both my kitchen and my bathroom, and usually buy the boots essentials range, which costs 89p a bottle. Recently Boots had a buy one get one free offer on Radox products, and as their handwash cost £1.79, I figured it worked out about the same for a better known brand, and put two in my basket. ~Using it~ I've found that one pump of handwash is more than enough to get your hands clean, so it's best to only push the dispenser nozzle about halfway down, or you will get too much liquid. The product lathers up easily under warm water, and it left my hands feeling soft and clean. It doesn't have anti-bacterial properties which is a shame though. The handwash is PH balanced and dermatologically tested. ~Fragrance~ One of the fragrances from the many on offer was the 'aroma burst' handwash...

The Source Of All Thats Good

Advantages: Great Reviews, Great Features, Good Price, Good Length.....
Disadvantages: Advertisements

...It seems on ciao I?m perhaps the only person (and a few others) that listen to the wonders of rap music. Perhaps this is because most of the people who listen to rap music are scallies who can't even spell never mind write a decent op. It seems as though there are music magazines for every genre of music and rap music is no exception. My op is on The Source magazine, the magazine dedicated to the rap industry. This magazine is from the good old U.S.A because nobody can be arsed to make a decent magazine dedicated to hip-hop in England so this is shipped over from the United States. It is a monthly publication that costs $3.99 or £2.99 for us English people. This is one of the Americas more popular music publication and has been going for a good 12 years. The Source is often....well....my source of all that?s good in Hip-Hop and I...

Smells of my Youth - Original source Ylang Ylang and Patchouli

Advantages: Nostalgic smell, not tested on animals, recyclable bottle, natural essential oils
Disadvantages: some may not like the smell

...Original Source Ylang Ylang and Patchouli Deep soak Bath Foam I believe you can buy these at various shops such as Boots and Tesco but I managed to get a real bargain at 85p from a local discount store in Derby that sells random end of lines or damaged or excess stock. It is somewhere I pop in to every now and then and stagger out with a stack of stuff for less than £20. However that is an aside back to my bath foam bargain. It comes in the standard Original Source bottle with black twist and pop off lid and contains 350ml of beautiful blue liquid. On the front we have the brand and product name and in smaller writing it is ?packed with essential oils?. The product uses real essential oils not synthetic fragrances and has NOT been tested on animals. The packaging is recyclable and the product is suitable for Vegans according to...

A Thrilling, Inspirational Piece - Main Source's Breaking Atoms

Advantages: Groundbreaking, great concept songs; responsible for Nas' birth in hip hop
Disadvantages: A tad bit on the overrated side; does not age well

...Main Source was a hip hop super-group from the Great White North (Toronto, Canada) composed of Sir Scratch, K-Cut, and Large Professor. The majority of folks reading that will probably think "who?" to the first two, but instantly recognize Large Professor as one of the top producers in hip hop, crafting classic material with the likes of Nas, Mobb Deep, Common, and Cormega. Sir Scratch faded into obscurity but K-Cut actually went on to work with Big Punisher, Queen Latifah, and the greatest rapper of all time: Shaq. Still, there's no denying LP was the star. Ever since I got into this once-beautiful blend of music and poetry known as hip-hop, long time heads have always pushed to me that Main Source's Breaking Atoms, released in 1991, is an unarguable classic album and should be ranked in the top 20 or perhaps even top 10 to some, which...

Manon Des Sources - Part 2

Advantages: Even more emotional and an excellent continuation of the story
Disadvantages: Darker than the first film

...So here's the concluding part of my Jean De Florette / Manon Des Sources review. I'm hoping you've read that one first; if not, go back and read it! This won't make sense unless you've read that one first, just as watching Manon Des Sources won't make much sense unless you've first watched Jean De Florette. They're two parts of the same story, and really, this is just the second part of the same review. Also, I have to warn you, it's virtually impossible to give any analysis of this film without revealing the major plot details of the first film, but I'll try my best not to ruin it. So, Manon Des Sources. Again, it's directed by Claude Berri, adapted from the novel by Marcel Pagnol, and stars Yves Montand and Daniel Auteuil. This was released in the same year as the other, 1986, and this was also nominated for Best Foreign...
