Impressive Coral Reef

Advantages: Breathtaking sceneries
Disadvantages: City become commercialised

...Last week myself and few friends went on a trip to Hikkaduwa. The Hikkaduwa beach is situated 98km away from Colombo towards the South of Sri Lanka. Snorkelling and diving in the clear water are the major past time along this strech.This is the most environmentally friendly way to see the colourful fish that dart around. The coral sanctuary on the coast of Hikkaduwa is a large shallow expanse of water enclosed by a reef, decorated with layers of multi coloured corals which is a home to countless number of attractive fish. There were tiny islets surrounded by beautiful coral formations off the beach. The main reason for many tourists to visit this coastal town is the reputation as the second best surf spot in Sri Lanka. However people of this area lost their jobs who involved in boat services because of the drop of tourist...

Review of Hikkaduwa (Sri Lanka)

A corally fish.

Advantages: cute, soft
Disadvantages: retired

...From an early age, my friends and I were addicted to collecting TY beanies. For those of you who do not know (where have you been?), TY Beanies are a collection of little teddies in all forms of animals and teddy bears. Once you start a collection they are quite addictive. You find you are always looking for new ones and cannot stop buying them - havoc for your wallet, heaven for your collection! One of the Beanies is a fish, who goes by the name of Coral. Its such a beautiful name - I was obsessed with sea coral as a child so this is a delightful treat for me. Coral is very attractive to look at too. She is coated in a delightful mix of rainbow colours: blues, yellows, pinks. She reminds me of the Rainbow Fish book every child will have read at some point, something else we can relate to with this fish. She is not as pluffed up as...

Review of Ty Coral the Fish Beanie Buddy

It's called a water world - it's actually one big fun-filled pool

Advantages: Great half day trip
Disadvantages: busy on hot days

...Bracknell probably has a bit of an interesting reputation - mainly known for its endless roundabouts, though lately famous for being the location for Harry Potter's house (12 Picket Post Close for the interested). Apart from these claims to fame Bracknell does actually have excellent sports facilities, this being one of the other attractions on offer which include an ice rink and Ski slope. Coral Reef Waterworld in Bracknell boasts different pool areas and also has 3 water flumes and a sauna area. It is council run, and current prices and opening hours can be found at www.bracknellforest.gov.uk. I go fairly often, but generally for parent and toddler time in term time which is a reasonable £4.20, at weekends and in holiday times you will pay much more, an adult was £6.95 last time I went at the weekend, a child £4.80, though...

Review of Coral Reef Water World, Bracknell

refreshing Reef

Advantages: fruity, easy to drink
Disadvantages: the colour, too easy to drink

...So what tipple do you think makes a Duskmaiden tipsy? Well actually I like a wide variety of alcoholic drinks depending on my mood. When I want something refreshing and fruity I often to\urn to Reef. Yes I know it is a teenyboppers drink but I do quite like it!! So when I was in Kwik Save doing a mini shop I was delighted to see a new flavour of Reef. Great I thought. Something noice to drink and something I can review fir Ciao (well I think that of any product from Rice Pudding to Washing Up Liquid!) The new flavour in question is Pear and grape by the way. \What is Reef? Reef is one of those dastardly Alco pops that corrupts teenagers and turns them in to junior alcoholics. No seriously Reef started of, as a still variety of Hooch b at Hooch seems to have disappeared of the face of the planet. It is a bottled vodka and fruit...

Review of Vodka Reef

Reef Schmeef

Advantages: An okay vocal performance from John Rhys-Davies.
Disadvantages: An appalling waste of pixels.

...After his parents are scooped up by a net, young fish Pi has to relocate to the reef where he meets beautiful Cordelia. But shark bully Troy also has his eye on her and will go to any lengths to get her. Soon Pi finds himself in the unenviable position of having to protect the girl and the entire reef. Luckily there?s a venerable old turtle on hand to help. Computer-generated animation has come a long way in the past ten years, but you wouldn?t know it to look at this shoddy pile of drivel. It?s hard to believe there were three directors working on it, the quality is so appalling. Most of the animation was farmed out to a studio in South Korea, where it is cheaper and quicker to produce. Now that may be a bonus when you?re making something like ?The Simpsons?, where time is of the essence so your topical gags still work and you...

Review of The Reef (DVD)

Stunning Coral Reefs

Advantages: coral reefs
Disadvantages: little non-hotel nightlife

...Coral reefs, spectacular fish and relatively warm water in winter make this a specialist scuba diving destination. Its frequent northwesterly wind also makes it a major resort for serious windsurfers. The myriad of other water sports activities available are really add-ons. No antiquities for the historically-minded and, for those seeking a Mediterranean-type holiday, little to do at night after your day of sun, sea and beach. Possibly a good relaxing second week for a 2-centre holiday after visiting Egypt's antiquities elsewhere. Accommodation: Nearly all hotels are on the beach, with the exception of a few cheap and cheerful 2-stars frequented by divers and windsurfers who want only a place to sleep with no frills. Most offer a range of water sports, but potential clients should ensure that any particular requirements are...

Review of Hurghada (Egypt)

The Reef, it reminds me of something....

Advantages: it killed 8o minutes
Disadvantages: see review

...My sister bought me this DVD while she was in Thailand and when she gave it to me I was distinctly underwhelmed but given there was nothing on TV and she was hogging the PC, I decided to watch it while curled up in bed. Pisces is a young fish who lives in Boston with his parents, one day though they get caught in a net, before being taken out of the water they make young Pi promise to go and live with his Aunt Pearl on the reef. So heeding their advice and with a pair of porpoises guiding him he heads south to the reef. When he arrives he stumbles across a photoshoot Cordelia is doing with a pair of divers and falls for her. After a series of coincidental meetings she falls for him and they agree to go on a date. But towards the end of the date the Tiger Shark Troy comes and starts to beat up poor Pi, Cordelia extracts a promise...

The Invisible Invasion - The Coral

Advantages: Typical mad Coral
Disadvantages: A bit slow at times

...This band can't stop churning out albums can they? This is their 4th in less than 3 years! If you read my 'Nightfreak & Sons of Becker' review then you'll get an idea of who The Coral are etc. Another track by tracker for you all to enjoy: She Sings The Mourning: Poor spelling, or a play on words? Who knows? Either way it gets the album off to a fine start. Lots of odd noises and lyrics that I don't have a clue as to what they mean but you want to sing along to it and you should. It's a top tune. In what seems like a mini solo the song goes completely mental with god knows what going on, typical Coral! My only problem with is that it sounds like it can be bigger and better but perhaps that is saved for live shows. 8/10. Cripples Crown: This is a bit of a laidback song, with guitars clipping inbetween lyrics, quite haunting...

Review of Invisible Invasion, The - Coral (The)

Reef One Biorb 30litres (tropical)

Advantages: Easy to use, Good looking and great value for Money.
Disadvantages: The leaflet says add your fish after 24 hours of treating the water, I would say 2 weeks!

...Well I always wanted to keep tropical fish and one day I decided to fulfill this dream. The biorb from reef one is enabling many people to beable to keep fish easily and with the least fuss possible. You can be sure keeping your fish in here will, with common sense, allow them to lead a healthy longterm life. The package includes everything which you will need. The biorb system, Ceramic media (rocks), An external air pump, Water conditioner/ Treatment, Even a trial sachet of fish food!, and if you brought the tropical aquarium you get the adjustable Water heater and a thermometer. This is a great enviroment to keep fish as it has an effective filteration system, infact three; 1.Chemical-When setting up and making water changes, you add a sachet of water conditioner, which lasts for 3 weeks at a time. 2. Biological -This is about 100...

Review of Reef One Biorb

Go on....have a reef.

Advantages: made with real fruit juices, great taste
Disadvantages: can drink too much very easily

...It really was only a matter of time before I wrote a review on my most favourite alcoholic drink going and considering I have consumed plenty of this stuff over the festive period it only deserves to be shouted about how wonderful it is - in my opinion. I like some bottled drinks like Smirnoff ice and WKD's just for example but they are all fizzy and make me feel all gassy and uncomfortable when on a night out. Especially if you are intending to have more than 'one or two'. So when I was on holiday last year I discovered Reef. They only stocked the red one and before the end of my holiday I was hooked on the stuff. I couldn't get enough of it. The thing which I love about reef is the fact that it is a still mixed drink rather than fizzy. This is one of the main reasons I drink it. I cannot stand to feel gassy and needing to...
