Club Med holidays djerba

Advantages: all inclusive + entertainment
Disadvantages: too many kids in some villages

...This was my another Club Med experience.... I was advice to go to this place by London`s Club Med Agent Bon Voyage http://www.holiday-discounts.org I was adviced to go to Club Med for my single holidays. It exceeded my expectations of an all inclusive resort. It was a great value for the week ; Club Med fantastic location; clean, uncluttered beach; excellent after dinner entertainment; generally friendly and helpful staff; good mix of travelers. Everything is taken care of and included and nothing is compulsory. Will probably go back to Club Med to take full advantage of all the sports activities they offer. You can't find a better value given all the options available throughout the day. Best thanks to club med london`s agent Dan from http://www.holiday-discounts.org I had a great time.......

Review of Club Med

Placebo - Meds (CD)

Advantages: the song - 'Because I want you'. and a collaboration with Michael Stipe (R.E.M)
Disadvantages: Some really boring songs.

...Meds marks the return, or the 'comeback' if you like of these grungy funky trio, otherwise known as Placebo. Fronted by Brian Molko. This features a brand new collection of tortured tunes, doing what they do best, their first full stucio album in three years. Although i feel their showcasing much more of a paied-down sound, the band seemed to have redirected their focus back to the raw rock of their earlier days. I especially like one of their 'ballad' types - 'Broken Promise' - which features R.E.M's Michael Stipe, which conveys the haunting atmosphere the band seem to have set out to conjure. Meds was made with French producer Dimitri Tikovoi (Trash Palace), who made the band strip back their sound, doing away with studio trickery and taking Placebo back to their early indie-rock roots. 1. Meds - title track, nice intro...

Review of Meds - Placebo

Have you taken your Meds?

Advantages: A few new killer anthems!
Disadvantages: Some of the songs lack much needed magic!

...It's no secret that I'm a massive Placebo fan. After first hearing the striking guitar riffs and solid drum beats from 'The Bitter End' I was instantly hooked. After buying the brilliant 'Sleeping With Ghosts', I ventured onto their older records and found that, although all of them were amazing, I was the most taken with 'Without You I'm Nothing', a blend of sordid ballads and haunted memories, it was described as the 'difficult' second album by the alternative heroes. So, when I first heard that Meds was to be released, I was intrigued to hear what the new album was to sound like. Each and every time the band release a new album, the claim that it is 'the album they have always wanted to make' and Meds was to be no exception. In an interview with Zero magazine just as 'Meds' was due to be released, lead singer and guitarist Brian...

Review of Meds (+DVD) - Placebo

Clio Club Med

Advantages: Economical, small and nippy
Disadvantages: No power steering, acceleration's not great

...I bought a new Club Med Clio 3 and a half years ago and i'm pretty happy with it. it's very economical on fuel, particularly good now the prices are so high, and very reliable. i've done 45,000 miles and have only had new front tyres and the back part of the exhaust replaced. I'm not so happy with renault garages however - i had a petrol leak for 9 months during which time i took it to the same renault garage 3 times without them finding anything. when i took it to another garage they found it immediately. they also charge a fortune for servicing and seem to need the car for most of the day....

Review of Renault Clio 1.2

It will have you wanting to go back

Advantages: "Fully inclusive holiday", most activites, all food and drinks (with meal) are included. French language. Crazy Signs!
Disadvantages: Expensive Drinks at the bar . French language. Price. Crazy Signs!

...WebSite (for those too lazy to read it all ;) http://www.clubmed.co.uk Last June I visited Club Med in Otranto, Italy. I suppose I should mention that this wasn't the first time I had been to Club Med, but it was the first time I had been on my own. My previous visits were at least 10 years ago, I went to Tunisia and to Greece with Club Med, with my Parents and my sister. The memories I have of those times were good, I remember the food being good, and the tennis lessons. This time I was faced with a quandry - what to do for my holiday - I was on my own and all of my other friends had their holiday plans sorted already. I didn't want to go on a Club 18-30 holiday as I don't feel that I am that outgoing, or rather, the TV programs painted a picture I didn't like. I wanted to go on holiday and do lots of activities...

Review of Club Med

Placebo - Meds

Advantages: Another magnificent effort from Placebo.
Disadvantages: Some of the tracks lose the aggressiveness they had on the demos.

...For the past 10 years, Placebo have been one of the main rock bands that this country have produced. Coming off the back off Britpop, their first album included a strong, exciting set of songs on sex, drugs, and, well, more sex. Throughout the years, admittedly, they have kind of stayed on the same lines. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. They have written some of the most memorable dark pop that this country has seen, and even had a few hits in the bargain, such as 'Pure Morning' or 'Every You Every Me'. But that was then, and this is now. On their 5th studio album, they've grown up a little bit, and even if there are still drug references a-plenty, they've started writing songs about (shudder) love. Opener 'Meds' is a typical Placebo effort about the medicine cupboard, which begins with an excellent acoustic guitar riff...

You dont have to be med to eat here but it helps

Advantages: Varied menu
Disadvantages: Price & seat comfort

...Welcome back to bad experiences, I was unlucky this time but I didnt pick it I was having a meeting in Covent Garden and the boss took us to Med Kitchen for lunch. According to the website it's a 'Mediterranean brasserie' & there are 7 sites across London. We were in the one on St Martins lane, just by Leicester square tube. We were greeted and seated immediately upon entering & my boss took the initiative and simply led us round to a booth rather than waiting to be seated by the staff. Menus were placed on our tables and the manager casually pointed at the specials board rather than taking any time to talk us through it. There wasn't anything particularly complicated about the specials but it did make me take an instant dislike to him. We were trying to get some work done while we were there so none of us noticed we hadn...

Review of Med Kitchen

I'm addicted to these meds!!!

Advantages: Some really addictive songs, near perfection throughout
Disadvantages: Let down by one dead duck of a song

...Meds is Placebo's fifth studio album, (sixth if you include their greatest hits) and I am greatly impressed, the only other album that I possess is the greatest hits and that is how I have got into listening to them but, I am told by lifelong Placebo fans that this is the best album since their breakthrough self titled album, and who am I to disagree. Meds covers many topics ranging from drug use, alcoholism, domestic violence and sexuality, this means that the lyrical scope is immense and greatly adds to the individuality this album has over others that are currently in the charts. The strengths of the album are that for one thing nearly all of the tracks are very good and are catchy which leaves you always wanting just one more listen, Placebo have essentially gone back to basics cutting out many of their experimental aspects...

My kind of clubbing

Advantages: Save money on something you were going to do anyway
Disadvantages: Waistline!

...Do you know what? They made it better! It's still the same price, but they now give a voucher for a free bottle of Proseco (Italian sparkler) with your membership every year when you renew (or two for a joint membership) and you can now submit a members questionnaire every quarter for a £10 voucher. This all just makes this great scheme even better! *** This is a bit of an addicts club (could have been called 'Pizza Anonymous' I suppose) but I am a big fan of it. Now in my 5th year of continuous membership, I continue to enjoy the benefits - and the pizza - and heartily recommend it. *It works like this?* Membership is £40 per annum for one person, £80 per annum for a couple. Four times a year, each member is sent a voucher, valid for the quarter, which can be used at any time in any Pizza Express restaurant in the UK...

Review of Pizza Express Club

A good kind of depression.

Advantages: unique deep lyrics, touching and provoking, Brian Molko's voice
Disadvantages: not enough pure guitar sound; some tracks are weak; too depressing

..."Meds" can even be fun to dance to, as I noticed when I requested it in a club. This record might not be a typical Placebo album because "Meds" seems to take the happy out of the 'happysad' music Placebo made on their first record, but then again "Meds" ' sound closely relates to the album that came before ("Sleeping with Ghosts"), so it was no utter surprise. I take a star off for the three or four tracks that seem like they were made to fill the gaps between the earth-shattering tracks. A must-have - but only if you are strong enough....
