Review of Dover Museum

Dover Leisure Centre

Advantages: You don't need to be a member to use the facilities
Disadvantages: Certain parts may be shut due to private events

...Living in Dover means that we don't have too many facilities. Dover Leisure Centre is about the only sporting facility in Dover other than the football and rugby pitches. Location Dover Leisure Centre is located on Townwall Street in Dover which is pretty much on the seafront and within walking distance to the Port of Dover. It is also within walking distance of Dover town, Dover Priory Station and Pencester bus station. Facilities There are two swimming pools at Dover Leisure Centre. There is a main swimming pool which is 25 metres and also a learner / childrens pool. In the main pool, there are two lanes of the swimming pool which are sectioned off to create one slow, and one fast swimming lane. The rest of the pool is then literally just open water where people can swim at their own leisure. The smaller pool is much...

Review of Dover Leisure Centre

Dover Priory Train Station

Advantages: recently refurbished, nice cafe
Disadvantages: in a grotty area of Dover town

...History Dover Priory Train Station was first opened on 22 July 1861. It was originally called Dover Town but was renamed Dover Priory in 1863. The name Dover Priory was taken from the remains of St Martins Priory which was situated close to the station. Dover Priory Train Station suffered greatly during the war and was actually the first place in Dover that was bombed. Dover Priory Dover Priory is the only train station in Dover and is located about a 5 minute walk from the town centre of Dover. There is a free shuttle bus which runs from the train station to Dover Docks. In August 2006 Dover Priory train station was renovated. These renovations included the refurbishment of the station building itself, the booking hall and the toilet facilities. CCTV cameras were installed which now cover the platforms, waiting areas and ticket...

Review of Dover Priory Train Station

Dover Gateway to England

Advantages: Busy port. Shopping is reasonably good. White cliffs and Castle are attractive
Disadvantages: Lacks character

...Bounded on one side by the Channel coastline and the famous White Cliffs,Dover in Kent is very much a maritime town. Throughout the ages this surprisingly small town has been the gateway into England from Continental Europe. For many Britons heading for holidays in Europe,Dover is the place to hurry through in order to board the ferry or hovercraft at the two passenger docks. Few have the time or even the inclination to explore the town. The well known landmarks of the White Cliffs and imposing Dover Castle located on a dramatic hill top setting blend well with the town's bustling port. You can enjoy a birds-eye-view of the busiest passenger port in the world from the Langdon Cliffs picnic site. The town itself frankly is not particularly distinguished. It is rather lacking in architectural character compared to the likes...

Review of Dover (England)

Dancing in Dover Street

Advantages: Good food and atmosphere
Disadvantages: Can be pricey

...This is the second year in a row my company Christmas Party has been held here, at the Dover Street Restaurant and Bar. The restaurant is on Dover Street (surprise, surprise!) in Mayfair, not far from Green Park tube station. Lucky me, the meal and drinks were all paid for! However the a la Carte menu, Party menus and wine lists, with prices, are available in pdf format on their website (although we had neither of these two party menus shown) - http://www.doverst.co.uk/food.php. It would appear if you are dining a la Carte then expect to pay up to £12 for a starter (Foie Gras, you evil people), but usually they come in at about £8-9.00. Mains start at £13.95 for the two vegetarian options, going up to £21.95 for a steak. House wines are £14.50 a bottle and go up to silly money for the top end stuff. The Atmosphere After...

Dover Castle - Worth A Visit

Advantages: Excellent condition castle, excellent museum
Disadvantages: It is in Dover

...It would be interesting to see how the opening of the Channel tunnel has influenced attendance figures at Dover Castle. Now that so much cross-channel traffic starts to cross over some 15 miles before Dover it is likely a visit to Dover’s beautiful castle is not included on many holiday itineraries. That people no longer take the opportunity to visit the castle is a shame. Whilst in France travellers may visit many chateaux in France or Germany which are probably not as attractive as Dover’s castle. Dover Castle is similar in size and feel to Windsor Castle and the undulating ground and superb central area add to the impression. Set high above the white cliffs Dover castle dates back to the 11th century with the original defences built by Harold being strengthened by William the Conqueror. The superb keep and inner...

Review of Dover in General

Ben Hur ~ A Tale of the CHRIST ~ (and His Times)

Advantages: 4-disc Collector's Box Set includes fully-restored 1925 Silent Version with Carl Davis Score
Disadvantages: The Chariot Race, originally set at Antioch, was moved inconceivably to Jerusalem in 1959 version

...When you hear the name "Ben Hur" what comes to your mind? The famous Chariot Race in the arena against the Roman Messala? Think you of the galley slave rescuing Quintus Arrius after the sea battle with pirates? Or do you think about the setting ~ the babe born to be "King of the Jews" worshipped by magi (such as Balthazar, the Egyptian), brought up as a carpenter's son; then, as a rabbi, speaking peace and healing; then crucified with that same title "King of the Jews" nailed above His head? Of course, the story is All that ~ and MORE. When (American Civil War General) Lew Wallace wrote his tale "BEN HUR ~ A Tale Of The Christ" in the late nineteenth century, he was trying to place Jesus, Son of Mary and (as it seemed) Joseph, the carpenter from Nazareth, into the historical context of Roman Occupied Judea. How...

Review of Ben Hur (DVD)

Is that Ben on your back ?

Advantages: A good way of carrying things
Disadvantages: None

...Ready for school? ~~~ Don?t forget your backpack full of those essential things. There are so many backpacks around these days with pictures of favourite characters. I had to use a boring school satchel carried over 1 shoulder. So if your child is Hannah Montana mad or Ben 10 crazy you will find the back pack to suit them. I know a child who is Ben 10 mad so his parents bought him a back pack featuring Ben. This back pack is available from several sources. ToysRus have it for £9.99 Amazon have it from £12.99. Looks~ This is a black and green backpack. The main compartment is black with a green trim this closes with a long zip. This has the word Ben 10 written centre front .On the front of the bag there is a small zipped pocket this has Ben ten in an action shot .on it and is the green colour. On the sides of the bag there...

Review of Ben Hur (DVD)

Gentle Ben

Advantages: Ben, the two of us need look no more..........
Disadvantages: .......We both found what we were looking for

...Now I?m a big fan of Ben Sherman, I wear his shirts and T-shirts, I occasionally slip into his pants, and I always strap a watch of his onto my wrist and can be seen adorned with his sunglasses in the summer months. So when I heard tale that he had lent his good name to a range of deodorants and body sprays I was excited beyond compare. Now I could smell like my hero as well as wearing all of his quality clothing and accessories. Hot foot, I race to my local Tesco store in search of the latest addition to the body care range and a quick scan of the deodorant and body spray aisle soon had me united with the product in question. And to be fair, you?d be hard pushed not to notice Ben Sherman body spray as it comes resplendent in a lime green canister. Both the body spray and deodorant come in three scents, all given cheeky little names...
