Arts based courses in deepest darkest Cumbria

Advantages: Small, friendly, relatively inexpensive.
Disadvantages: Does not offer a stereotypical "student lifestyle"

...Upon arriving at the main campus (the Fine Art department has a seperate, small campus) you will be struck by it's small size, but suprisingly modern design. A modern building, surrounded by trees and set above and just outside the city centre. The Institute offers a variety of Arts based degree courses, from Fine Art and Media Production to Journalism (full course details can be found at http://www.cumbria.ac.uk) and it also teaches a variety of post-16 educational courses such as ND's and A Levels, all in subjects related to the arts. All the course tutors and professionals in their own subject, but I will not go into too much detail about the courses as they are all so different, however I will say that most of them are practical in nature and all have specialist facilities within the campus. The campus has good facilities, all...

GAME.UK.COM a gaming website

Advantages: Good fast easy game ordering
Disadvantages: Reward Card is hard to access via the internet

..., which is a very clever way of getting customer trust. In my view they could have changed the domain name to something snazzier than game.uk.com but I feel that they chose this because it was a web address that would stick in peoples mind down to the fact that it is an unusual set-up. The site lets you make a conclusion on each game before you decide to buy by giving you ratings and detailed reviews. There is also some background information that will appear when you wish to buy that game which will just tell you about the game and its best features. It may also give you website link to a website that is associated with the game in question that you wish to purchase. All games are numbers from newest to oldest from the time that they are released and if you cant find what you wanted to see then you also have the option of looking...

B*llocks.com?

Advantages: Some things are EXTREMELY cheap
Disadvantages: Not as wide a selection as I'd like, VERY disorganised customer service, slow to reply to emails & unhelpful

...After finding a newly released book that I wanted reduced from £14.99 to £5.99 it was fair to say that I immediately thought www.uk.bol.com was a godsend. My subsequent experience with customer service will explain why that might not be the case later on; but firstly, allow me to familiarise you with the site. UK.BOL.COM This is the UK website of bol.com and initial impressions are good! The home page seems to be logically arranged with links at the top for ?home, my basket, my account, contact us, help and login.? Underneath that are larger tabs for Bestsellers at 60% off, 1000s more titles, Film Music, Gift Ideas, Gift sets, Booker Winner, and Book of the Month. Down the left hand side is a slimline quick menu with hyperlinks to categories that may be of interest to you. Overall the homepage is pleasantly full...

uk250.com

Advantages: Good resource
Disadvantages: none

...This is a great little Website if you're looking for a particular service on the Internet. It's sort of like the Yellow pages on the Internet. If you select a section, you will also be presented with a series of relevant links. If you find other directory listings a bit daunting, then this site is well worth a visit as all the subject categories have just the right amount of sites within them, and they're UK specific too. It is a search engine with a difference. Like Yahoo, UK250 is a directory listing rather than a straight forward search tool. The difference between the two is that UK250 lists the best 250 UK Websites in a range of different categories. So, you'll find no offensive sites here. Simply select a category, a letter of the alphabet or chose a group. A very useful site that is very useful!!!! If that makes sense...

UK's Top Online Music Mag

Advantages: Free online music magazine with reviews and exclusive interviews
Disadvantages: I suppose it could always have more

...Introduction/History The first time I came across www.uk-fusion.com was actually when the editor emailed me to ask me to contribute! I have to admit that since I write for the site, I could be seen to have a 'vested interest' but: a) I've declared this at the start b) I'll try to be objective and c) It's non-profit anyway Actually though FusioN has been going since 1995 - initially as a 'proper' magazine/fanzine publication, before branching out on to the internet, and it's been online only since 2002. What's On It? I'd describe FusioN as an online music magazine really. There's more to it than that though. Most music magazines feature films, computer games and books (especially music-related ones) and FusioN is no exception - music has top billing, but it also reviews films, books and arts (mostly London based, as are...

HotBargains UK - start earning money today!

Advantages: Easy to earn money, payments made quickly, helpful support available
Disadvantages: Website layout not excellent, some of the offers available could be better

...HotBargains UK *Introduction* Hotbargains UK is a relatively new website which rewards its users for performing simple tasks online. Whereas sites like this one (Ciao) rewards its users for writing product reviews or for answering surveys, Hotbargains UK rewards for different various things - signing up to websites, clicking links, purchasing goods and much more. There are plenty of already established websites in the mould of HBUK, all in competition with each other, with some of the most famous being Rpoints and Ipoints. All of these websites perform in exactly the same way, offering financial gain in return for online-activities. *How it works* Normally when I talk to my friends about the HBUK website, I am greeted with confusion and bewilderment - how can a website offer money for performing such mundane tasks, like...

Review of HotBargainsUK.com

mediauk.com

Advantages: A decent media website...
Disadvantages: ...but no better than that

...there are better websites out there to look for this kind of work...the BBC website is one that instantly springs to mind for BBC jobs, but expect a long-winded application process, and productionbase.co.uk is good for TV work, however that is a subscription based website so be wary of that. The news feed section of the site gives industry news that has occurred in recent weeks, which again is usually plenty. Yet again though there are better websites - broadcastnow.co.uk is the first thing that comes to mind, and digitalspy.com being another. Mediauk.com is adequate though and does the job for those just browsing the industry rather than delving in deep. The discussion board is something I've never really scoured in any depth, but has conversations with members about various things... 'watercooler' subjects if you will! One good...

gumtree.com

Advantages: Very detailed
Disadvantages: Open to fraud

...Many will remember a time when the classified section of a local newspaper was all there was if you wanted to look for second-hand goods, or look for a place to live without going to an estate agent?but not anymore. Goodbye the classified section; hello Gumtree.com To quote the frontpage of the website, Gumtree advertises ?Homes, jobs, cars, sofas, vintage records? anything, really??and they?re not wrong! It lists it?s good in cities across the country. And not just the capital cities of the UK, but anywhere from Brighton to Nottingham, from Oxford to Aberdeen. This handy tool can help you look for exactly what you?re after without having to sift through adverts from cities hundreds of miles from you. Now, to indicate the scale of the website, in the London section, the ?Flats and Houses? adverts totals 124,174!! That seems a bit...

Make money with HotBargainsUK!

Advantages: quick easy to use
Disadvantages: minimum £30 before payout

...This is the latest cashback/ loyalty site I have discovered and I have to say that it is fast becoming a favourite as it is easy to make a fairly reasonable amount of money within a short amount of time! I first found out about the site by reading a very positive review on Ciao. As a couple of the sites I am signed up to seemed to be going off the boil a little, I thought it was time for something new. Once you have registered on the site, it is worth logging in on a daily basis to see what is new and to ensure you make the most of your earnings. The main way to make money on HotBargainsUK is by using it to shop on line. They have a vast number of retailers which if you click on through the site in order to go shopping will bring you cashback. Some of the main ones include Amazon where at the moment they are giving 3% cashback...
