In the night garden ninky nonk train set

Advantages: strong, versatile, compact, nice bright colours, fun to play with
Disadvantages: none so far

...I decided to buy the in the night garden ninky nonk train set from Amazon as my young daughter is a big fan of in the night garden and whenever it comes on TV she gets really excited. So as my daughter already had some of the other characters from the show I wanted her to have the whole set and since buying it the train set the ninky nonk train set has become one of her favourite toys to play with on a daily basis. The train set can come apart and be attached on many different ways and my daughter enjoys looking at the nice bright colours and putting some of the other in the night garden characters onto the train set even though it keeps falling of now and again it keeps her busy and sometimes I hear her in fits of giggles. The train set is very cute and versatile and its great as children such as mine can have hours of fun with it...

Busch Gardens

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...Well having wanted to visit Busch Gardens on a number of occasions and unfortunately not being given the chance, I felt I had to visit the place during my recent visit to Florida. I had always heard mix reactions about the theme park, some complimenting it, whilst other simply saying it was not there thing. Nevertheless, I was still determined to visit it, at least once to squash the rumours and determine for myself whether this place was thumbs up or thumbs down. History of Bush Gardens Africa (Tampa Bay): Bush Gardens is the name of two of the biggest theme parks in America, one in Tampa Bay, Florida, and the other one in Williamsburg, Virginia. Bush Gardens is currently owned by Busch Entertainment Corporation. Busch Gardens Africa was first opened in 1959, and was a 340 acre African themed, safari park. The park was...

Gardening for Wildlife

Advantages: Encourages a mini eco-system right on your doorstep
Disadvantages: Does involve a small amount of effort!

...for Thrushes to hammer the living daylights out of snails: you'll know if the birds have had their lunch by the clutter of empty snail shells lying around! A bug box is a good idea, to attract beneficial insects like Lacewings and Ladybirds to your garden - again this is something you can make yourself by cutting short lengths of bamboo or hollow sticks and tying them together in a bundle. Place them in a bush or tree, but don't hide it too well, or the insects might have a job finding it! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *****Conclusion***** Even in the middle of a big city there is still fantastic scope for members of the wildlife population to come and set up home in your garden. And once they're there, they provide immense joy and satisfaction: they also help you to manage pest problems. For me there is nothing...

Bush Hall Hotel

Advantages: Beautiful, well priced
Disadvantages: None

...Bush Hall is situated just off of the A1 in Hatfield. It is old an old hotel and is said that it used to be Henry Eighth's Hunting Lodge. As you can imagine the building is full of character. There are newer parts of the hotel that have been added on at a later date to create rooms for fuctions / weddings etc. I shall describe in greater detail each part of the hotel. The approach to the hotel is via a log windy drive ay. The first thing you see is a foutain which is lit up at night. You see the old buildig in all its glory iwith beautiful blossomig ad trailing flowers growing up the side. You walk into the hotel and find that the whole buildig is in keeping with its era. Immediately there is a reception and following on from this is the dining room and a large bar area. The dining room is well done out with beautifully...

The Spice Garden - No Garden, Plenty of Spice

Advantages: Light airy conservatory, pleasant service, good value for money
Disadvantages: Nothing out of the ordinary

...Another week brought another visit from my hungry curry-loving colleague Joep. I had no plans for the evening and asked if he wanted to have dinner. His eyes lit up; "Can we have curry?" he asked excitedly. And so at around 6.30pm we left the office to go in search of a new curry restaurant that we'd not tried before. I'd spotted the Spice Garden on my way to work that morning and decided that this time it would get our custom. The world (well the UK anyway ? and India, Bangladesh, Pakistan etc?..you get what I mean) is full of curry restaurants and in the middle of a recession we should spread our pennies around and try to support a new one each time until we run out or get food poisoning. I got lucky and found a parking space right in front of the restaurant. It's on New Chester Road in Bromborough, about a mile off the M53, close...

Review of Spice Garden, Merseyside

A garden to die for!

Advantages: Plenty to see and do for both adults and children
Disadvantages: None

...The Alnwick Garden in Northumberland is a really lovely place to visit, as I discovered recently when in the area. I had decided to visit on the recommendation of a friend who had recently spent a day there, and had spent quite a while telling me about it afterwards. I was intrigued to find out more and visit here myself, as although I live in the North East and have visited many places in Northumberland, I had never visited The Alnwick Garden. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HOW TO GET THERE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Alnwick Garden is situated just off the A1 at Alnwick in Northumberland, and is well signposted if travelling by car. Buses connect Alnwick to surrounding towns and also Newcastle. If travelling by train, the east coast line stops at Alnmouth which is 4 miles away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE ALNWICK GARDEN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Alnwick...

I hate Bush!

Advantages: Internet option could have been a good point.
Disadvantages: Gimmicky, poorly designed, heavy.

...We purchased the Bush Internet Portable Television two years ago for the meagre sum of £99. We were only after a portable TV for the bedroom at the time but this was in the same price range as other models with the added feature of Internet access so as that rather irritating advert says, "Why pay the same for less?" The Bush Internet TV in packaged in a worryingly heavy box, dragging the television out of its annoying polystyrene carton you are confronted by what can only be described as a space age style portable television. In fact it looks like a deformed helmet for Neil Armstrong. This is re-enforced by its metallic silver, curved, bubble style. It is all very 1970's. Setting up the television appears to be easy. According to the step-by-step instructions simply plug in the hoop aerial, plug into the wall and use the remote to...

Look At My Bush!

Advantages: Great price, clear screen, good sound
Disadvantages: A brand with not a great reputation or public knowledge

...(24/10/06 - an update to this review has been attached to the end of the original, below.) I like Bush. Really, I do. No, not what your dirty little mind is telling you and not that weird guy who's apparently in charge of the planet, but Bush - you know, the electronics people. They make tellies and video players and DVD players and that type of thing, usually pretty damned cheaply, too. But that's not the only reason I like them - cheap Bush is handy to have, but it's not bad quality either. You tend to get the best of all worlds with Bush - a good price, reasonable reliability and some features to play with too. I have a 32" normal Bush TV on the television stand in the living room upstairs but, in advance of the World Cup earlier this year, I needed a large telly to go in the bar and I really wanted a large plasma or LCD...

Review of Bush IDPDP42TV008

Pleasantly Surprised by a Bush

Advantages: Good picture & sound, easy to use controls.
Disadvantages: Takes a few seconds to "warm-up".

...I am a bit of a technophobe, but thought I would write about our TV DVD combi, in the only way I now how, simply. Hopefully it will help other non-technical people out there. Our portable TV was having intermittent faults, and my family were complaining that it was so ancient that it didn?t even have a socket to plug in a free-view box. They also wanted a DVD player included in any new model that was bought. Having a portable TV in good working order does reduce the amount of squabbles about what programmes to watch, so I decided to have a look around for the best value for money one for us. I was strongly influenced by a TV DVD combi we had use of when we went on holiday, and after trying to find better value for money alternatives, I was drawn back to this model. I have had one previous experience of owning a Bush TV...

Review of Bush DVD154TV

Brilliant Bush

Advantages: 'Wuthering Heights' and 'Babooshka' are classics
Disadvantages: may be a bit inaccessible for some

...Recently, viewers of VH1 had the opportunity to vote for who they thought were the best female singers ever. In typical contemporary list-compiling style, modern artists like Anastacia and Nelly Furtado were deemed to be better than the likes of Billie Holliday and Dionne Warwick, whilst 21 year old Britney Spears was riding high in the Top 10, mixing it with Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner. The only British artists to accompany Britney et al in the crème de la crème was Kate Bush, a somewhat surprising appearance for an artist notorious in keeping a low profile, and who hasn't released a song in 8 years. Born in 1958, she burst onto the scene as a teenager in the late 70's and has made seven studio albums. The highlights from the five can be found on this compilation, 'The Whole Story', which was first released in 1986...
