Picking up the baton - Sri's Ciao Challenge

Advantages: Oh for goodness sake, I don't know...
Disadvantages: You aren't going to agree with all of it

...My very lovely CoT-friend Sri, known in Ciaoland as skmm, has recently created a challenge about Ciao - how clever of him to pick something on which we ALL have opinions. Take a look at his original where you can find a list of the questions if you want to pick up the baton and run with it. I've nominated three people I'd like to do it at the end - but hey! It's a free world - have a go if you want to. 1. When and why did you join Ciao? According to my profile, I joined on Boxing Day 2005 but I have no recollection of doing it. My parents and sister were visiting at the time so I would have been hiding upstairs sulking about all the washing-up and my sister's reluctance to do it. I didn't get involved with reviews until April this year. 2. What is your Community Level colour? Red, and there's still a long way to go to...

Review of My Ciao'ing

Conducting the bakery orchestra

Advantages: fresh from the bakery
Disadvantages: has to be eaten same day

...I called into my local Sainsbury's on the way to work hoping for some inspiration as to what I could have for my lunch at work. I'm usually very organised but this particular day I had no idea what I wanted. As I walked past the aisles of the soups and pot noodles I was getting stuck for ideas. I wouldn't usually opt for a 'bread' lunch because with me it's a case of once I've had bread I fancy it all the time so I try and avoid it if I can. The harvest grain baton looked very nice on it's stand. There was quite a lot of the batons available this particular morning. The plain ones, the ones with sesame seeds on the one with the little black seeds too and then the harvest grain ones. Being on a 'd.i.e.t.' I thought the better of the bread options was the harvest grain. More fibre I decided. They smelled lovely, and when I...

Review of Sainsbury's Harvest Grain Baton

Buzzin!

Advantages: Good music, clean toilets
Disadvantages: some times too busy

...The Baton is a busy bar on wood street. It has a great atmosphere with a good crowd of people to socialise with. The music is well known dance music that everyone will like. The toilets are clean and drinks are averagely priced, bouncers are friendly and there is a lot of room to dance! There is also a chill out area to rest those sore feet from dancin the night away! I go every week with a group of friends. We have a good laugh. On a friday the crowd is friendly and mostly a younger age and on a saturday the people are more up for it! and having a great time!...

Review of Baton Rouge

Would you like to see my baton, Tigged

Advantages: Hopefully makes you smile
Disadvantages: I might have missed someone

...Seylilbitch, who then tagged me, she also tagged some other people but for me the important one was ME! My first though was to track back and see who had already been tagged so as to not double up, my list quickly reached 14 and I realized it would be much easer to think of the people I wish to tag and go and see if they have written a tagging review yet, as proved by my list, people were being tigged all over the place, one of the people that first came into my head had already been got so I went on a hunt through the darker recess of my CoT to find who I wished to pass the baton onto. I decided it would be cheating to do Mizzjasmine, as I already know her on the outside, and I think that would be kind of defeating the purpose of the challenge, so I look a bit further, but don't have to look for long I find ?..

Review of My Ciao'ing

I've been implicated.

Advantages: Some may get it
Disadvantages: Some may not

...Thanks to Rachelsratty for passing me the baton, somewhat unexpectedly in this new ciao craze of mystery word puzzles. I racked my brain and this was what I came up with, hope I don't make to hard. So here goes with my effort and in the classic words of Rolf, "Can you guess what it is yet?" I can be both short and sometimes quite long. I can cross over or under. I can be made from very different materials. I can be found in different forms all over the world. I help people cross from A to B. I am often found over rivers, yet beneath railways. I am often painted in different colours and yet some people still find plain grey attractive. I some varieties that have been found to wobble uncontrollably in strange circumstances. I am a ? Answers on a postcard to. Here is a big hint, for those of you that know me...

what is this

Advantages: short and sweet
Disadvantages: may be too easy for some

...Thank you to Torr for passing me the baton - sorry, I?m no good at rhymes, especially when I?ve had a few ? You can spend ages looking for a good one of these in Manchester Sometimes there are people on hand to help you find one They?re like gold dust in any town at this festive time of year And they?ll get harder to come by as the shopping days pass If you buy one at the airport, it?ll be VERY expensive A free one may come with your job Sometimes you have to pay in advance Other times you have to pay as you go I?ll be taking free ones when I can, but will be paying for a few more before Christmas Have fun - and no cheating!...

Dark, Evil, 150 minutes long, but great.

Advantages: Heath Ledger is incredible
Disadvantages: A little long

...The incredible casting of the late Heath Ledger as Joker is one of the highlights of the film. Batman again goes head to head with Joker, however, unlike the predecessors, this film is far more dark. Led by Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, the vigilante goes up against the Joker who offers multiple crime bosses the offer of killing batman. Batman, coupled with Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) as Gotham City's district attorney fight crime from two seperate angles, with Wayne hoping to shift the baton of the crime fighting hero to Dent, fighting crime through the correct methods. However, further complications of Dent dating Racel Dawes (Katie Holmes), Wayne's love interest sends another twist to the story. Overall the highlights of the film is based around this fantastic cast with Ledger excellingly entertaining and evil. This...

Review of The Dark Knight (DVD)

We Music, We Won't Use It.

Advantages: Just No.
Disadvantages: It Failed

....wiimusic.com/launch/?btnG=Google+Search&meta=lr%3D You can choose to play a real song from a section of songs, or you can play on your own and then have a a backing tune accompany you. Three minigames Mii Maestro - Become the conductor of your orchestra and swing the wiimote like a baton. Even simpler and unlocks more things in "jam mode". Another let down is you only have a choice from 5 songs. Handbell Harmony - coloured bells (one for the nunchuck, the other for the wiimote) and simply swing the right controller at the right time. Pitch Perfect - listen to notes and choose between them. So this is all fairly simple, but at prices like £25 it's not worth it. So, they made things slightly more interesting. By purchasing a wiifit, you can combine this with wii music and use it as pedal. Also you can make songs, harder and faster. Last but not least, you can save how you played...
