FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

From the ashes

Advantages: Find stuff you can't find anywhere else really cheap
Disadvantages: No guarentees, can be busy, rain

...For those who don't know, Ashton market used to consist of an outside market and an inside market. However, a few years ago, the inside big market was burned down. It hasn't been opened again yet, though work is going on with it at the moment. Only the outside walls still stand. Another, smaller, temporary market was made, only around 100 metres away, which cannot fit the same amount of stalls in, but does still contain many of the same stalls as the original market, and is great for the time being until the real one is back on its feet. The outside market was unaffected. So, I will talk about both markets - the temporary indoor market (which will be replaced by the real one at some point, at which point I will change this review) and the outdoor market. Both are similar, so I will write about them together and put a small note next to...

Review of Ashton Market

Ashton in a Role that Suits.

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: Not that Good Really

...I was sitting down watching TV the other night and saw that Just Married was going to be on TV. I haven't seen that film in ages and actually do have it on DVD so I decided to watch it again. Well the film was as funny as I found it last time and it is one of the only things that I have loved Ashton Kutcher in a lot. This review will tell you why I think this silly film is worth watching for a laugh. The story goes as follows. Sarah and Tom met, fell in love and then decided to take the plunge and get married to each other. They are happy and love each other a lot so have a nice wedding and then go on what should be a wonderful Honeymoon visiting places in Europe. What actually happens is a series of events which makes it the Honeymoon from Hell which gets them questioning if they ever should have got married at all. This is...

ASHTON AND PARSONS AAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Advantages: No Drugs involved
Disadvantages: Can be a bit fiddly

...The product is actually called ASHTON AND PARSONS... It is what is known as teething granules although the packaging explains its for all things associated with teething. Ie stomach upsets.fretfullness. If anyone is old enough to remember how drugs used to be supplied(I don't,but as I work for a big pharmaceutical company and have been to their museum..I have seen how drugs used to be supplied) well drugs used to be wrapped up in little packets,quite neatly... ASHTON AND PARSONS granules come just like that, . The packaging isnt very distinctive..I dont usually describe the packaging,but if someone was to try and find this product they would struggle... so here we go *a small white box about the size of a box of matches *with blue writing in bold ASHTON AND PARSONS and then in tiny blue writing a detailed description of what...

A Manchester Hotel Gathers no moss

Advantages: Good location. good facilities
Disadvantages: None

...We stayed at the Village Hotel Ashton Moss (just outside Manchester) for two nights when went to visit friends and see a gig at the Manchester Evening News Arena. The hotel is easy to find, being just off the M60 and is about a 15 / 20 minute drive from Manchester town center We booked directly with the Hotel and paid £189 for 2 nights in a standard room with bed and breakfast including dinner on the first night. The hotel has only been open a few months and is classed as a Village 'Premier' Hotel. From the outside the building is very domineering, being mainly black and it has ample free car parking. The reception area is large and very plush, decorated in deep browns and purples, with the bar and entrance to the gym to one end, the restaurant at the other and an actual small Starbucks café in the middle. There are also...

Ashton is SOOOOO cute

Advantages: Ashton ashton ashton
Disadvantages: a bit too stupid

...This film is absolutely hilarious!! Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott were both very good choices for the parts of Jesse and Chester, the average american teenage dudes! Ashton, star "Kelzo" of That 70s show was a good chopice not only because he's gorgeous but also because he knows how to act dumb if you kbow what I mean!! Seann, star "Stiffler" of American Pie was also a good choice because he has that smile that is sort of mysterious but innocent! I think the film was good overall because it had a sort of steady storyline through out but it had a pretty duff end but I suppose that was the only down side to the whole film! My advice WATCH IT!!...

Review of Dude, Where's My Car? (DVD)

FREE DVDS

Advantages: up to date dvds, four weeks free hire with 3 dvds at a time,
Disadvantages: see review

...My recent quest for FREE DVD hire I visited and many DVD web sites that offered a free trial. Now call me tight (no that wasn?t an invite), but I like bargains and freebies and am not ashamed to say so. My quest took me to enough sites to hire DVDs for about four months so far (with plenty to come too). My latest free DVD site also happens to be the best I have tried for several reasons (see rest of op); the site in question is Blockbuster.co.uk. Other sites that I have had free rentals from and then cancelled have all been similar, two weeks free trial with two DVD?s per time ? which in effect gives you about four free DVD?s. With Blockbuster?s things are different slightly ? which add a great deal of benefit to us the customer. Firstly, you get FOUR whole weeks free rental, which equates to at double the length of time most...

Ashton and Parsons Teething Powders

Advantages: old fashioned remedy with natural products, can still use calpol and things if you want to
Disadvantages: can't be found everywhere

...When my son was teething (he's 4 nearly now), we had lots of times when he was miserable because of his teeth and fretful, but didn't necessarily have a temperature of very sore gums so was reluctant to keep giving calpol. Ashton and Parsons powders were recommended by a friend. They are a very old family remedy that use natural products. I haven't got a box to hand now, so can't unfortunately say what is in them. The come in an old fashioned box in a square twist of paper and I think you just tip in the mouth and they dissolve. I can't believe how well and quickly they worked. They even took the redness out of his cheeks. I found that I used much less calpol when using these. Well worth a try for the fretfulness and kept son's temperature down too....
