Top 10 Comedy Sitcoms

Advantages: GREAT !!!!!!
Disadvantages: NONE !!!!!

...Top Ten TV Sitcoms. Love TV comedy but until I started compiling this list I didn't realise how many good ones where actually out there, or have been out there. Anyhow here is my top 10: 1. Porridge. My all time favourite. Norman Stanley Fletcher, You have pleaded guilty to the charges brought by this court, and it is now my duty to pass sentence. You are a habitual criminal who accepts arrest as an occupational hazard and presumably accepts imprisonment in the same casual manner. We therefore feel constrained to commit you to the maximum term allowed for such offences. You will go to prison for five years. The unforgettable opening narration, as voiced by Ronnie Barker Fletcher, Godber, Mr McKay, Mr Barrowclough, Grouty, Bunny Warren, Orible Harris, Jock, Samson and Delilah. All existing behind the prison walls, all...

FIFA 2002

Advantages: Better gameplay, good graphics, nice way of unlocking parts, new features
Disadvantages: Still not perfect graphics, not perfect gameplay

...If the PFA decided that the footballers are going to strike, then grab yourself a copy of FIFA 2002 and settle down to some virtual action…. The FIFA series for producing football simulation games for the PC has been going since 1995 with their first release, and has kept going ever since with a new version released each year, usually just in time for the Christmas market. Produced by EA sports, (electronic arts), it is consistently one of the best, with rivals like ISS and Actua Soccer coming in behind. Though they may be criticized for each game being a little too similar, like they claim, they are the kings in this game. Will their latest offering be any different? Ok, so where do you want to begin? Basically the whole idea of the FIFA series is a football based game that you take control of a team, and try to win as much...

Grey Comedy.

Advantages: Light entertainment, slightly different from usual, good value for money
Disadvantages: A poor interpretation of Pinter's play.

...A couple of weeks ago my English class and I, along with a couple of teachers, escaped from the classroom and trundled off to the Comedy Theatre (Panton Street, off Haymarket, Piccadilly). After a longer than expected and re-routed train journey (courtesy of Connex South-Eastern) we reached the theatre with a few seconds to spare before the curtain was raised and the performance (directed by Robin Lefevre) of Harold Pinter?s classic work began. The play is very dark and disgusting, although a dubious comedy, and we had studied it previously so ?knew? what to expect (I shall elaborate upon the plot later, but I?ll try to avoid spoilers). And of course, as with any school outing, there was a catch. That is, we were obliged to write a critical review of the performance when we returned, and it is with its assistance that I will construct...

Un Comedie d'erreurs

Advantages: Location is fairly central, staff are attentive to requests
Disadvantages: No restaurant, basic room facilities, housekeeping could be improved

...Hotel Comedie is a three star property in Geneve's City Centre, on the busy Rue de Carouge. It was business, rather than pleasure that took me there for my recent one month stay. The actual purpose of my trip was also hotel related, in that I was working with a project team on a system roll out for one of the most luxurious brands in the world. Unfortunately, at the time of my arrival they did not have a hotel in Geneve City..and they always book this place for visitors, as it is convenient to the office. The website gives away very little too, in fact it is nothing more than their name and address on a page, suffice it to say I was mildly alarmed at that, but my manager in Geneve had told me on the telephone said he had stayed here for a few weeks and it was ok. Arriving at the hotel by taxi is actually a challenge in itself...

KYLIEFEVER 2002

Advantages: features the best person in the world, kylie
Disadvantages: none at all

...As all of you who read my op on the great KM herself know, this is my favourite person. And that I went to see her in concert, on the 8th May 2002, on her KYLIEFEVER tour. Well, let me tell you, this was the best concert that I have ever seen or been to. It really blew my mind, the athmosphere from her many many many adoring fans and the amazing special effects added to it but the real reason I enjoyed it so much is because Kylie was there, of course. As it was so good, I couldnt wait for the DVD to be released. I already had the Live In Sydney DVD, and so badly wanted the Fever one, too. So much so, I pre-ordered it on the internet. It did not turn up for ages, so I rang my local HMV store to see if it was in stock and hurried on down....... (I am now the proud owner of two copies of this DVD...) ---HOW MUCH WAS THE DVD...

The past, present and future of The Divine Comedy

Advantages: Long lasting, something for everyone, good music
Disadvantages: The dissolving of the band

...THE DIVINE COMEDY ******BACKGROUND****** To some people The Divine Comedy is just the name of a medieval Italian book, end of story. To many others The Divine Comedy is a band which has been around for the past 10 or so years and was founded and is fronted by singer-songwriter Neil Hannon. Neil, the son of a former Bishop in Northern Ireland was born in Londonderry, moved to Enniskillen and studied at Portora Royal School. Neil had two main passions in his life, music and art. Had Neil not gone down the music path it is thought that he would have pursued a career as an artist. Thankfully for us he didn?t (I?m not saying his art wasn?t good) as 8 albums and a Best Of later, many of us have come to know and like the music of the Divine Comedy even if we don?t know them by name or the fact that the band was named after a book...

Flight Simulator 2002

Advantages: Amazingly realistic, packed with features
Disadvantages: Slow loading, can be jittery during gameplay

...the Boeing 767. New aircraft can be downloaded from a number of different sites on the internet, simply by searching for "Flight Simulator 2002 aircraft" or something similar. Almost every worldwide airport and airfield is included in this game. Even the smallest of airfields, such as Cranfield are included, and you can even land/takeoff on runways on large ships. The Air Traffic Control (ATC) feature is fantastic - you choose a voice for "you", and you can communicate with ATC at the touch of a button, and hear the human voice reply. Before taking off, you can download real-time weather from around the world, making your flying experience even more realistic. The download takes just a second, and really makes a novel difference. You'll need a fast PC to run the game, as the graphics are VERY detailed and VERY advanced, as is the immense...

England 2002 World Cup

Advantages: Encouraging for the future
Disadvantages: Being knocked out at the Quarter Finals

...NOTE: I have posted this review in another place but was advised to play it in this thread. So im not trying to get extra community points, its just i dont know how to delete a review. Anyway, enjoy the review and all comments are greatly appreciated. Phil :) Before England could become part of the Japan/South Korea world cup finals of 2002, like most other teams they had to qualify. They finished top of their group, along the way picking up a memorable 5-1 away victory over Germany. When the groups for the competitions were drawn - England?s own group was described as the 'Group of Death'. We were drawn against Argentina, Nigeria and Sweden in Group F. ~England 1-1 Sweden~ On June 2 England began their World Cup campaign proper. They played Sweden in Saitama. England got off to a bright start and with a Sol Campbell goal...

Unforgiven 2002 - A glorified episode of WWE Raw?

Advantages: Good solid PPV, nothing too bad.
Disadvantages: No outstanding super duper matches.

...WWE Unforgiven 2002 Unforgiven. Who deserves no forgiveness; Saddam Hussein, Bin Laden, Ian Huntley ? probably. But does Brock Lesnar deserve forgiveness? Probably not either, as he looks genuinely nasty. So the event is built up, but does it deliver or it is just another filler PPV? This event happened in September 2002, and was released by Silvervision in early 2003, so it has been around for a good while now. It is certificate 15 because of the blood loss during The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar match, and the general violence throughout the DVD. The DVD runs for 176 minutes in total that includes the 3 hours of PPV action and the extras. You?re treated to Michael Cole and Tazz commentating on the Smackdown matches and Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler commentating on the Raw matches. Both of these combos are ok, nothing special. However...
