Cote D'Azur

Advantages: More affordable thank you think !!
Disadvantages: Not many I can think of

...The Cote D'Azur is the term that refers to the French Riviera and encompasses - among others - the three cities Nice, Cannes, and Monaco. The latter is a "Principality", which is self-governed and sovereign from the rest of France. The area is served by Nice Cote D'Azur International Airport, which is approximately 2 hours flight from the UK. Although, this is slightly dependent upon the airport you depart from. Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, and Stansted would all fall into this travel category, where as Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester would all be closer to 2 ½ hours travel time. Due to the close proximity of the three cities mentioned, I have never been to this region of France without visiting all three together!! Although, of the 3, Nice is probably the city I have spent the least amount of time, maybe because it is located in...

No Grey Areas for Kirsty

Advantages: Wickedly dark and beautifully crafted
Disadvantages: Short stories are so short...

...I once met Will Self (don?t get excited, he won?t remember me!) in 1995 when he had just published Grey Area, a collection of short stories, first published by Bloomsbury in 1994 in an interesting ring-bound style for £9.99 Now infamous for his voluminous understanding of the English language and team leadership on the whacky and hilarious TV show Shooting Stars, he was at the time a very, well ?trendy? read. He was also a hilarious public speaker, and had the blue-rinse Canterbury twin-set-and-pearls brigade splitting their sides with his reading of the filthy and delightful ?Cock and Bull?. So who could resist the temptation of a signed copy of his new collection of short stories? Grey Area includes nine stories in all, some far better in plot than others but all darkly funny and deliciously well-written. But I have...

Review of Grey Area (And Other Stories) - Will Self

Cote d'Ivoire, country in decline

Advantages: the real africa, hardly a tourist destination
Disadvantages: political and ethnical instability, rough travelling

...This is a country that had it all, a nice export of cocoa beans, some gold, plenty of timber, enough space, stability, you name it! And then it happened, de world market for cocoa-beans collapsed and Cote d'Ivoire, the example for the west-African country, began to fade, then there were elections, and then a coup, and then an uprising, another uprising and now it's on the brink of civil war. Still, if you speak French, it's a great country to live in, it's got some nice dense primary forest, lively cities, beautifull markets, miles and miles of deserted beaches, hillcountry, savanna's, desert, and maybe the nicest, most hospitable people of Africa. If you respect the local habits, women wearing skirts and man wearing trousers, asking if permitted before grabbing your digicam etc, there is not a lot you can do wrong here! Only in...

The Grandeur of the Cote D'Azur

Advantages: Every advantage a hotel could have
Disadvantages: none!

...I never thought I would one day actually stay in a Hotel in Nice, France. It's not that I do not go regularly to France, quite on contrary, I just never saw anything special about this city. For me, Nice was just the airport or gateway to the world of Cannes, Antibes, Cap Ferrat, and off course, the stunning Monte Carlo. I found it much more interesting to re-discover the sandy shores of Cannes or the minimalist chic style of St Tropez, or the extravagant Moneguesque nightlife. The idea of this chilled out beach was not very appealing when compared to its neighbouring tourist hotspots. Being the self-titled "holiday booking disaster" that I am, I offcourse leave everything to the week previous to my departure and, therefore, must content myself with whatever is available. This vicious cicle seems to happen year-after-year of Cote D...

The Aliens have landed at my house

Advantages: It is a great looking very powerful PC
Disadvantages: You have to have deep pockets

...It's a bit of a beast, that phrase is bandied about a lot isn't it but in this case is correct on all fronts. Let me tell you a story and as with all good stories I shall start at the very beginning. Way back in the murky depths of November 2006 I was about to fulfil a dream of mine to own an Alienware computer, for years I had lusted after said product but now was the first time I had got enough money together to afford one There is no point in denying they are expensive because they are, very. Ordering is a case of first deciding if you wish for an AMD or Intel processor, that is if you are not mega rich and can afford a top of the range ALX system, slightly out of my stretched pocket so I went for the Area 51 7500 which is an Intel powered system. The next step is to decide what bits and pieces you want inside. The options...

Review of Alienware Area-51

A Refreshing White & The Price Is Alright!

Advantages: A very refreshing white wine.
Disadvantages: None

...Vin de Pays des Cotes de Gascogne I bought this bottle of White Wine from Alldays and it cost me £3.49 for the 75cl bottle. (So, I bought two!) On the front label it says : Co-op Vin de Pays des Cotes de Gascogne (Alldays is now owned by the Co-op so I reckon both shops should still have stocks.) It smells : Fresh, Lemony, Grapefruity & Melony with a hint of Pear Drops. It tastes : Lemony, yet very smooth, with a slightly sharp aftertaste. First Impression : A very light wine. I reckon I could drink two bottles of this light wine with ease. No food required. It leaves a slight tingle on the tongue and it is very refreshing. It's a wine to be enjoyed at all times. A wine to be shared with friends in great quantities or slowly enjoyed in a very self-indulgent manner as I did. I actually drank the first bottle whilst...
