Premier Inn, Charing Cross Glasgow

Advantages: Close to town and all amenities
Disadvantages: none

...I have never stayed in the Premier Inn before, but I felt I had to share my experience of the past weekend. The staff in both reception and the restaurant were fantastic, they were really helpful and made you feel right at home. The room and bathroom were both spotless, warm and the freeview television meant that my daughter didn't miss her soaps while she was away. The bed was both big and comfortable and we didn't have any trouble getting to sleep. We opted for the breakfast deal and we were not disappointed, the food was well cooked and warm there was also plenty of choice. Access to the hotel was excellent for both able bodied and non-able bodied people, we didn't have a wheelchair but we did have a six month old baby and a pram, and even though it is situated next to Charing Cross rail station we didn't hear a thing from...

Review of Premier Travel Inn Glasgow - City Centre (Charing Cross), Glasgow

Noughts and Crosses

Advantages: gripping storyline and you won't want to put it down!
Disadvantages: time!

...Well, I don't particuarlly enjoy reading, but I don't dislike it, however if I have the house to myself I love to have a nice warm bubble bath then pick up a good book! I picked up this book the other day in Waterstones for around £5.99, although it was in the junior - young adult section I have heard nothing but good reviews about it! The storyline is about racism and the way that blacks used to be inferior to the whites, but this time it is reversed in this revoloutionary book! Noughts and crosses gives you much of the information you need to know to understand the book, the blacks which are the dominant and powerful race are the crosses, while the whites which are little anad controlled by the crosses are the noughts. But this story focuses on the life of two young people named Sephy and Callum, Sephu being a cross and Callum...

Crossing over

Advantages: appealing for kids, never ending gameplay
Disadvantages: not really a lot of point to the game

...We had decided to buy my daughter a Nintendo Ds for Christmas, and one of the games that she had almost begged for was Animal Crossing. I have watched her friends play this in the past and never really understood what it was all about as they told me there weren't really things to do, and you kind of did what you wanted! This in mind when we bought the machine and game a few weeks before Christmas, there was no option but for me to play it in secret without her catching me! The game itself is suitable for anybody aged six and over, and I would suggest no younger than this because of the depth of the game. Currently priced at £29.99, it's an averagely priced Ds game according to its popularity. I will say that after playing for a while, and then watching my eleven year old play it, there is a lot to the game that a child may not...

Review of Animal Crossing: Wild World (Nintendo DS)

Animal Crossing DS

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Animal Crossing Wild World is a role playing game for the nintendo D.S. It is a great game where you create a new game, a new character, get a job, buy a house and then do different tasks within the game. The game plays in real time and at night time some of the characters go to sleep, the shops shut and there really isnt much to do. Also seasons change with in your timezone so in summer the game will be sunny and in winter the game will be snowy. However in the day time there is loads of tasks to complete, to make money you firstly get a job to pay off your house, you also make money for clothes and furniture and renovation of your house to make it bigger. You then earn money through fishing, digging for fossils, catching insects and picking fruit off trees. This game is quite addictive and I think that it is enjoyable to...

Noughts & Crosses

Advantages: Everything about it, this book is really amazing!
Disadvantages: None

...I have just finished reading this book, as we started reading it in my English class, and I was unable to put it down, I can truly say it is the best I have read in a long, long time. I'm writing this review because I wish to tell others about this amazing book, because they are missing so much in not reading it. I was unlucky enough to have someone tell me the ending of this book before I had finished it, but it didn't stop me enjoying it immensely. I have been recommending this book to everyone since I have read it, and think all readers of my review should be persuaded to read this amazing book. It is set in a world, very much like our own, but yet completely opposite in some ways. Black and white people are given the names Crosses and noughts. The Crosses, the black people, are the leading race, and the noughts are very much...

WARNING! Animal Crossing is EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE!

Advantages: Could literally keep going for ever
Disadvantages: Characters could get irritating

...I should probably make a point of warning you straight away that if you have an addictive personality, you should steer well clear of Animal Crossing: Wild World. It took me a few goes to get into it, but by my third play on it I was completely and utterly hooked. Background/History -------------------------- Animal Crossing started off as a Nintendo 64 game in Japan, in 2001. Due to the decline in popularity of the N64, sales were not as good as expected, and so the Animal Crossing game concept was redeveloped as a GameCube game. It was released in North America in 2002, Australia in 2003, and Europe in 2004. It's popularity saw that it was adapted for the Nintendo DS in 2005 (and there are rumours about Animal Crossing: City Folk being produced for Nintendo Wii). The Game --------------- Animal Crossing: Wild World is...

Animal Crossing on the Wii

Advantages: Fun, easy
Disadvantages: Repetative

...Animal Crossing: Let?s Go to the City: Wii Until Christmas I had never heard of the animal crossing games but the other half got me this with my Wii because it looked ?cute?. I really enjoy it. On Let?s go to the City you arrive at your town, (which you can name), after a ride on a bus and a chat with a mouse who tells you a few things and let?s you choose your name etc. When you arrive at your ton you need to head on over to the Town Hall, (you have a handy map to help you find your way around), and then buy a house. You get a hefty mortgage and you have to earn cash, (by selling bugs, fish, fruit etc), to buy clothes, furniture and of course to pay off your debt. As you pay off your mortgage you can upgrade your house which gives you another hue chunk of debt to work off! Your town will change as the year progresses with fishing...

Review of Animal Crossing: Let's Go To The City (Wii)

Animal Crossing - a cute village building game

Advantages: Cute graphics, fun for hours
Disadvantages: Very addictive and a bit frustrating at times

...Animal Crossing is a classic building game - think of games like the Sims - with really cute graphics and animal inhabitants. You start off in a taxi travelling to your own village which you can name as you wish. When you get there, you have to help out the local shopkeeper to pay for your first house. This teaches you about the different ways you can make money in the game and the things you can buy to improve your house as it grows floor by floor as you pay off own mortgage after another. It's a really easy game to play and you can pick it up and play for as long as you like. You don't have to reach a set objective to save so you can play it whenever. You can make money by fishing, planting trees then shaking them to sell apples and occasionaly get money bags, you can get gifts from other characters which you can trade at the shop...

Advantages: Great addition to the Brio train track
Disadvantages: none

...Does your Matchbox car need to cross the Brio railway line ? If so then go to the 33388 BRIO Railway Crossing .

Review of Brio Railway Crossing

Cross with Brent Cross

Advantages: Free parking
Disadvantages: Out of fashion shopping mall

...INTRODUCTION Brent Cross Shopping Centre was one of the first shopping malls to be built in the UK. It was opened in 1973. Brent Cross is archaic compared to modern shopping centres such as Bluewater and Lakeside Thurrock. The shopping centre is situated in Northwest London. BRENT CROSS AND ME From the mid 1970s to the early 1980s my parents and I regularly visited my uncle in East London. We combined almost every trip with a visit to Brent Cross. Most of the time I had nothing to buy so I simply followed my parents like a bored teenager. In 1980 my school gave me some book vouchers as a reward for running the school tuck shop. I spent these vouchers in WH Smith at Brent Cross. In 1987 I took my mother to Brent Cross via tube. My father was in India at the time attending his brother’s wedding. In...
