Advantages: GOOD POPY ALBUM
Disadvantages: A BIT CHEESY!!

...Rachel, Jo, Bradley, Hannah, Tina, Jon and Paul are S Club 7. They burst onto the scene with ‘MIAMI 7’ the hit Kids TV Show on BBC 1 about the band trying to get there big break. The show was very cheesy but you got to know the members of the band and it also features music from them, which is on this album. I have not bought the album ‘S Club’ and I don’t intend to either but my younger sister bought it and she keeps blasting it out of her stereo and it is actually quite good! S Club 7 seem to have an edge over other ‘kiddie’ groups such as Steps because there is seven of them in the group and they have a lot of exposure to their target audience because of their TV show. The voices on the songs are changing all the time, Jo who is the groups lead singer has the most powerful voice... Read review

Advantages: Funky, danceable, fun and experimental
Disadvantages: Not to everyone's tastes

...Never heard of Tom Tom Club? You’d be in the majority, then. But the chances are you have heard of the Talking Heads, the band from which the Club was spawned. If you haven’t heard of Talking Heads, I suggest a trip to your local HMV (or other such record store, I say HMV as it is my music store of choice) so that you can realise what you’ve been missing out on and thank your lucky stars that this humble reviewer was here to arrest your decline into bad music taste. In the early 1980’s, Talking Heads, a New York band sprung from the same scene which spawned such other luminaries as the Ramones, Blondie and Patti Smith, was one of the most critically acclaimed bands in the world, adored by the critics and peers, with a dedicated fanbase and an increasing commercial acceptability thanks to singles like ‘Burning Down The House...

Advantages: Lively - full of fun
Disadvantages: Not to everyones tastes

...It's been a bit of a trend on Ciao recently to write about things you really quite like, but wouldn't exactly run through the streets shouting about for fear of ridicule and scorn from those less understanding than us! It's all thanks to Ciao member Piagetclot who set the challenge, and the members of the Ciaouk user group who took it up! Well, I thought long and hard about this – I actually found it quite hard, because I'm generally quite proud of my likes, and I don't really let other peoples opinions of what I like sway me – after all, it's what I like, not them – if they want to be prejudiced then that's their problem. But, I suppose, there's always something that we're not exactly proud of, but like nonetheless, and for me, it's probably S Club 7. S Club 7 started at the end of the last century, late 1999...

Disadvantages: non

...LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL An organisation was started up in the United States, by Melvin Jones. In Chicago in 1917 he and some business men got together, with the vision to help people less fortunate than themselves. They agreed to abide by a certain code of ethics and objects, which included not making money for themselves, or destroying each others business, being unselfish by giving their time and effort freely. With the motto "We Serve" Eight years later in 1925 At a Lions International Convention, Helen Keller asked the Lions to become "knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness." From this Lions have taken the challenge and the white cane was born. Lions also run various services for the impaired and blind. In 1990 Lions clubs around the world raised over US$202 million to help cure preventable and reversible... Read review

Advantages: Some very good tracks with lots of different styles of music.
Disadvantages: A few weaker tracks.

...S Club 7 is a well-known, good pop band which (surprise, surprise) has seven members – JO is a sporty female with short white-blonde hair and attractive blue eyes. She’s the main singer of the group and appears a bit of a show-off. HANNAH is also glamorous and sporty, though she looks much younger than Jo and is more popular. PAUL is muscly and doesn’t have a very good voice. The band could have done better without him from the start, but S Club 7 is much more catchier than S Club 6! RACHEL is a very good looking character, but is seen more like Posh Spice after having watched the television series. TINA isn’t really one of the public’s favourites, being a quiet member of the band. In the video of Don’t Stop Movin’, the make-up artists have obviously paid more attention to her... Read review

Advantages: tighter controls on clubs
Disadvantages: some clubs may go bankrupt

...In short yes. In this day and age of global football brands and huge television contracts football is a business. In any other business if you spend more than you have then adverse consequences happen. Be it a requirement to cut back on expenditure or to fold and go into administration. Business is about discipline and football is no exception. As a supporter of Crystal Palace FC, I've been through administration with a football club and it's not particularly pleasant. Going to a match and not knowing if it'll be the last one your club ever plays is a strange feeling. But then we paid the price for over extending ourselves. Through our then esteemed Chairman Mark Goldberg he instigated his so called 5 year plan which would see us competing as one of the biggest clubs in the country and in European competition year in year out...

Advantages: Generous level of points which never expire
Disadvantages: Would still take a long time to earn a stay at the 'posh' hotels

...**Priority Club** It is said that there is no such thing as a free lunch: With Priority Club, you earn points that will give you free hotel nights and maybe a free breakfast, so that is better than nothing! Is it really free? Well, this is a loyalty card scheme, so yes and no is the answer. If you get points for something you were going to do anyway, then its free - if your behaviour is changed in order to get the points, then that is the price! **What is Priority Club?** Priority Club is the loyalty program/travel rewards club for the InterContinental Hotels Group, also known as 6C or Six Continents. In the UK, we know best the Holiday Inn, Express by Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza brands, but this group also includes the InterContinental Hotels, Indigo Hotels, Staybridge Suites and Candlewood Suites Hotel & Resorts.

Advantages: Friendly, relatively cheap, conveniently close to Nottingham, very pleasant environment, all ages and abilities welcome
Disadvantages: Not perfect water for sailing, showers could be better

...Nottingham Sailing Club (NSC) is based on the south bank of the River Trent, right next door to the National Watersports Centre, on the East side of Nottingham. It is an extremely friendly club, welcoming sailors of all abilities (and you can throw away all those preconceptions about sailing clubs being stuffy, formal places). If you want more information than I can give you here, take a look at the club website at http://homepages.rya-online.net/nottinghamsc/ If you've never sailed before and are thinking of trying sailing out, there's plenty of potential to do so at NSC, and it won't cost you much either! The club welcomes visitors (approximate sailing times below...) - you can take a look around the place, meet some of the people and get a feel for it. There's usually someone around who will take you out for a sail too, if you... Read review

Advantages: Good music
Disadvantages: Which is put to waste!

...All the latest hype about S club 7 (Thats their real name!) has really been getting to me lately so here I am letting out all my thoughts and fury! The club have proved quite succesful and all have brilliant talents but some members of the pop group have been putting these talents to waste recently so after giving you some info on the group I'll tell you what they've been getting up to! So where shall I start...? S Club 7 were first recognised as a pop group quite a while ago now, they started off at the very end of 1999 and have ever since been recognised by many people, mostly little 6 7 and 8 year olds but I should say a few other people as well. They were first recognised with their first released single 'Bring It All Back' Remember it?! If I played the song to you all now most of you would all turn your noses up at it and laugh...

Advantages: Washing machine
Disadvantages: There are 2 things to do - one is to eat, the other swim!

...*** Club La Costa in Fuengirola, Spain *** By the way - weather was fantastic and in the 30's. We had a fantastic holiday of lazing around by the pool and took a day trip to Gibraltar. I'm not going into the food side of things too much but for two course meal for five it was around 50 euros including a drink each. This was same in all restaurants we visited on site. * What Is Club La Costa? * Club La Costa is a timeshare company who has links with RCI who are one of the largest in the world. They have around 45 timeshare locations around the globe. Club La Costa has its Head Office in Fuengirola, which is a resort that is around twenty minutes from Malaga airport on the southern coast of Spain. * Why Go? * We were invited to a timeshare meeting in Maidenhead last November and were promised Marks...
