Review of Aurora, Tivoli

Auroraing success

Advantages: Comfy for baby. Wide easy to clean tray.
Disadvantages: Assembly instructions poor. Difficult to adjust height.

.... I needed it to be very easily cleaned, and really wanted one with a double tray so that I could leave the baby to play for a few minutes whilst beginning the clean up. Of course there was also the 'oh so important' safety aspect to consider. The Aurora Plus has all these features; The chair has several recline positions. The cover is removable for serious cleans, and is easy to wipe clean on a day to day basis. It is nicely padded so my baby looks really at ease in it. It comes with a 5 point safety harness which, although perfectly functional, does not seem overly comfortable. They don't have any extra padded bits to slip over the straps like so many harnesses seem to come with these days. It can be slung in the washing machine, but is a little tricky to remove and you have to take some care refitting it correctly...

Review of Cosatto Aurora Plus High Chair

Sol Aurora, Umag, Croatia. Like Spain, Only better.

Advantages: Beautiful country, great hotel, nice food, cheaper than Spain
Disadvantages: None Really.

...My wife and I spent a couple of weeks at the Sol Aurora, Umag, in June 2007. We have been to several places around Europe, e.g. The Baleriks, Spain, Italy, but fancied something a little different. Not being a fan of flying, I usually look for places within a 3 hr flight from Leeds/Bradford, Croatia is only 2hr 20mins away, so seemed ideal. Umag itself is a very nice smallish town, with a small port, located to the north of Croatia, on the coast of the Adriatic, only a few miles from the boarder with Serbia. The locals are very friendly, the weather is similar to northern Spain, and with Croatia not being in the Euro, prices are very reasonable. The Sol Aurora Hotel is a 4 star, situated just north of the town of Umag, almost directly on the beach, wel, I say beach, it is actually a concrete sun terrace, but there are plenty...

Review of Sol Aurora, Umag

A watch for the 21st century

Advantages: Technical features, no batteries, accurate, good looking, Japanese
Disadvantages: None at present

...I once took my battery operated watch to a well known high street jeweller to have the battery replaced, I was told it would only take 5 minutes & cost £4.99, it actually took 30 minutes & cost me £9.99 as they had problems with the battery. When I took it home the small stop watch function wouldn't work & the built in alarm didn't work either. I took it back & explained it was OK before they touched it, but they refused to accept liability so I was left with a watch that never worked properly again. On another occasion another jeweller presented with a different watch stated that the movement was faulty & would cost approx £75.00 to replace, I left the shop & purchased a battery for 99p from Maplin, fitted it myself (this one had a small slot on the back to access the battery) & has worked perfectly since. To say I have lost faith...

Review of Citizen Eco-Drive Watch

  IF NOT THE ROLLS ROYCE, THE LEXUS OF WATCHES

Advantages: Very good time-keeper. Classic Good Looks. Not Expensive for Technology Offered.
Disadvantages: In Five and a Half Years I Have Found None!

...Here comes an odd one for you! As, during all of my months spent on review sites, I have yet to read a watch review, I thought that I would set myself the challenge of writing one. In truth it probably will not be the longest or most interesting review RICHADA has penned?.. ?.but bear with me for a few minutes if you will. Firstly, for those who do not know me that well, a little bit about me. I am no fan of jewellery, fashion or otherwise - at least not on my own person. As, hopefully, a relatively respectable company director, I do however have need of a passably accurate and presentable time-piece. Before any of you jump in with 'ah, but surely you have a mobile telephone and that shows the time!' well, yes that is true, but it is simply not as convenient as taking a quick glance at the left wrist. Neither does it show me...

Review of Seiko Gents Kinetic Watch

Night Watch and Day Watch; two reviews in one!

Advantages: Two exceptional and highly original fantasy novels
Disadvantages: Not books for those looking for mindless entertainment; these are thinking fantasy novels

...NOTE: Due to Ciao not taking reviews for the Night Watch (which is the first book in the series of the same name, with Day Watch being the second) this is a review of the first two novels. If you just want to read a review The Day Watch, please skip to the second half. THE NIGHT WATCH The Night Watch is a science fiction novel written by Russian author Sergei Lukyanenko, and is the first book in the Night Watch trilogy. The book was originally written in Russian (obviously I am reviewing the translated English version), and the series as a whole has enjoyed fantastic success in Russia. It has also been critically acclaimed in other countries, including the UK, with The Daily Telegraph calling it "JK Rowling, Russian style". A bold claim indeed. THE WORLD The Night Watch is set in modern day Russia (Moscow...

Review of The Day Watch - Sergei Lukyanenko

Creatures of the night beware The Night Watch!

Advantages: Stylish, dark fantasy thriller.
Disadvantages: Subtitled, first part of a trilogy!

...First off for some reason, even though I supplied them with a picture and a summary, Ciao have completely the wrong poster for this film above, but this is the link they gave me so I'll use it anyway. Review. Night Watch, or Nochnoy Dozor, a Russian fantasy thriller, burrows into you, nestling inside you as you watch rapt with attention. Your eyes not wanting to leave the screen as you ponder every fact you can glean about what is occurring in front of you. Starting with a battle scene in 1342 between The Warriors of Light and The Warriors of Darkness that leads to a stalemate, and an agreement, Night Watch creates a world where Good and Evil manifestly exist. Where they acknowledge their opposites' existence and recruit 'others', people with superhuman abilities of some kind, to their side, The Daywatch policing the forces...

Review of Night Watch (DVD)

The environment friendly watch

Advantages: Solar driven watch, no battery required.
Disadvantages: None that I know of.

...My last watch has been with me for more than 10 years. It has been reliable until the past couple of years. It started mis-behaving, require constant battery changes, (a sure sign that the watch is dying), and frequently stopping whenever I fly. So last Christmas, I decided to buy myself an eco-driven citizen watch. An eco-drive watch uses light energy to run itself. The light source can be sun (solar) or an incandescent lamp (such as in an office environment). The watch uses a solar panel, in this case, its the face dial, to convert light into electrical energy which is stored in a special energy cell. This allows the watch to last a long time without seeing any light, suitable for those of us who hibernate (Ha!); for those of us with very long winters and constantly wearing long sleeve clothes or just forgetting to charge it up...

Review of Citizen Eco-Drive Watch

Charming little watch

Advantages: charges constantly when its in the light
Disadvantages: i work at night and usually dont see the light

...My 'friend' decided i needed a special present this year for christmas and bought me the Citizen Ecodrive Charm bracelet watch. It's one which has been advertised quite alot in womens magazines, and it is very pretty and a bit different. The bracelet is a basic silver coloured bracelet, attatched are five small handbag charms, one is plain silver colour, the other four have stones in different design 'handbags', the colours are pink, blue, yellow and clear. The watch itself is a slightly larger handbag shapewith clear 'diamonds' around the face and a blue pearly looking face. Its pretty and sparkles nicely which keeps him as amused as it does me, but then again hes amused by some very simple things - british money for one. The second of these watches that I own is also the silver coloured version but this time has shell shaped charms...

Review of Citizen Eco-Drive Watch

Night Watch

Advantages: Great film
Disadvantages: nothing

...Night Watch. The film is based around a prophecy. A prophecy of balance and that one day there will be 'one' who tips the balance and then the light or the dark will rule the earth protectors of the light fight against followers of the dark in order for control. They are supernatural beings who can enter the twilight and draw their power from there. Anton is a member of the nightwatch and it is he who will be the main character of this film. The 'other' or the 'one' makes an appearance and soon all hell on earth is breaking loose. Anton proves to have more power than anyone thought. The ending is as expected considering this is the first of a trilogy The special effects are very good and the plot never slackens right from the battle scenes set in 1342 right up until, well... the ending, no reveals sorry. the dialogue...
