Advantages: Comfortable format, GLBT film
Disadvantages: predictable- Mills and Boonish, a bit drawn out

...down well on either side. There's some mention of writers block as well, and because the other one is writing away like billy-oh, it makes it even more awkward for them both. Anyway, after doing some stereotyping of each other - one is blond and feminine and the other is dark and not very feminine!(hang on, isn't it the straight people who are supposed to do that sort of stuff?)..they eventually realise that they quite like each other despite their obvious differences and the chemistry starts to get going between them. I won't spoil it any more for you, but it is a bit long winded and the attraction is on then its off then its back on again...I felt like saying to them "for goodness sakes, make your mind up!!" but I do get impatient..it all worked out in the end! It is rated an 18, but probably because it is a film made... Read review

Advantages: Secure employment-relatively. Variety, locations, colleagues
Disadvantages: pays less than private sector

...I've been reflecting on my job recently and whether I'd like to work elsewhere. I've come to the conclusion that I don't. I joined the Civil Service back in 1978 afte dropping out of University after a year. I didn't like the course and because nobody else in my family had been to uni nobody told me I could JUST CHANGE COURSE...and neither did careers guidance at the uni..anyway, I digress. I came home to my parents who (bless them) trusted to my judgement when I said I wanted to join the Civil Service. I took the Civil Service exam for Executive Officer because back then they were recruiting like billy-oh. Passed the exam..I always did like those problems which go something like .." you have 20 people who want to cross a river, Bill hates Fred, Joe loves Peter...and they've got 5 canoes...get them across in 3 trips.....".. Well... Read review

Advantages: Not too expensive, looks nice
Disadvantages: awful at picking up, quite heavy

...when you use it- so that's quite good..It doesn't get right up close to the skirting boards when you use it either and that's quite important for me -budgie seed tends to fall down between the carpet and the skirting boards. Use the hose to do this and it picks the stuff up.

Advantages: range of plants, pleasant atmosphere, price, super tea shop attached to centre
Disadvantages: getting harrassed by pensioners, you might spend a fortune

.... They are supposed to spread like billy-oh but I bet mine die! We bought some herbs from the herb section because we want to get them growing in the garden - we chose thyme, mint, rosemary, marjoram, and lavendar and got them planted out when we got home. There's a house plant section that you can browse round if you need something for indoors. The variety is brilliant! Inside also there's a section for pet food, and weedkillers and fertilisers. Very useful if you have remembered that you need some budgie food before you go home. The conifer section is my favourite but I was not allowed to buy any today- we had already decided on hedging stuff and leylandi was not on the pass list! Both my partner and my mother enforced this rule...what a pity as I love confiers...... GOrdon Riggs sell conifers from the tiny to the box variety at £80+..specialised... Read review

...We've all seen the mass hysteria in the press this week but that can mainly be put to there being little real news of note so with pages to fill your average hack jumps on which ever bandwagon seems to be good at the moment, and this weeks story combined to hot topics the net and public enemy number 1 Barclays. With headlines involving these 2 the papers knew they were on to a winner so the went to town big time with some major scare mongering. Lets face it banking on the net is no more or less safe than banking in the high st. When i visit the bank all that proctects my money is a 4 figure code or my signature which i know is never checked as mine is different every time and when i complained in the past my bank said they could not check signatures as it would take too long....

Advantages: COOOOOOL
Disadvantages: none

...This is, hands down, the greatest game for the Nintendo 64. It features authentic skaters, it has genuine tricks, it has skaters’ real signature moves, and you can actually skate on your skater’s signature board! This game is extremely simple to learn, and insanely arduous to master. The simple tricks are easy to execute on first try, while some of the complex grinding combos can take weeks of practice to master. The graphics are very realistic, and the music is *real* alternative music. The several modes of play kept me playing for hours at a time, and the two-player capability is great fun. If you love skateboarding, if your not a fan of skateboarding (like me), even if you *hate* skateboarding, this game is for all of you.... Read review

...Charlie Red is a gorgeous fragrance, one for all those sex kittens out there! I have worn this one for years, ever since it came out. It has become my signature scent. After wearing this, men find they think of me whenever they smell it again! It's got quite an unusual scent, is quite a heavy sexy fragrance without being overpowering, a couple of squirts and you can still smell it the next day. I get many compliments on this scent when ever I wear it and all my friends and family want to knick a squirt off me! It has a lovely frosted bottle and silver lid and is not too expensive though it certanily smells as if it should be 3 times the price! A definate must!... Read review

...I recently placed an order with Yes661 who unfortunately use Reality/White Arrow couriers. There was a card left through my letterbox from Reality stating that they could not leave the parcel because a signature was required, although I was'nt told this when I placed the order. I rang them and explained that I am not available in the mornings but if they could not give me a delivery time the Parcel could be left in my garage. I was informed that unless they got a signature or could leave the parcel with a neighbour or deliver it to my place of work then basically I would not get it! I explained that I work in a local Hospital so I could not have it delivered there, I have only just moved to this area so I dont know that many people yet, the house on one side of my property is empty and on the other side they are out at work all...

Advantages: Evocative
Disadvantages: Can be overpowering

...This signature perfume from Fendi is a sensuous collection of woody fragrances with a deep warm feel. This fragrance needs to be used in small amounts as it can be quickly over powering. This fragrance evokes memories of cinnamon and summers. The warmth of the fragrance from the woody tones is heady and evocative. This is quite a masculine scent and not for the faint hearted. I first found this fragrance in the 1980’s and have loved it ever since. This is a definitely an erotic perfume. Handle with Care !!!!... Read review
