FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

The Life and Times of the Late Lennon?

Advantages: A fairly insightful look into John's life by someone who really knew him
Disadvantages: A little naff and bias in places

...CYNTHIA LENNON: JOHN WHERE THIS FITS INTO MY BEATLEMANIA MONTH OF MAY: A truly interesting account of the Late Lennon in which tales of triumph, despair and anger are told but perhaps not for the first time... - - - - - Whether you are seeing a celebrity on TV, stage or listening to one of their albums, the chances are that you are more than often not bearing witness to a persona or alter ego; someone that is either a completely different character to what they would normally be recognised as or even a magnification of their personality as a way to turn heads and make people buy into their act. With that being said, that is one of the many reasons why I like reading both autobiographies and biographies; it is a great opportunity to see past the blurry stage lights and hopefully get into the real minds and lives of an admired...

Cynthia Slyvia Stout gives good head

Advantages: Fantastic hair
Disadvantages: I can't stop touching my hair

...I bought this shampoo originally because my mother-in-law is called Cynthia but she was going to be called Slyvia, however this product far surpassed the expectations of a comedy value purchase. After using this shampoo I had the cleanest, softest, smoothest, silkiest most irresistable hair I ever had. Despite having a very sensitive skin and suffering from psorasis, eczema and dermatitis I was able to use this product, as I am many Lush products, even when my skin is at its worst and would recommend anyone try this product as it is available in a 100g bottle for only £2.65. Other sizes include 250g for £5.20 and 500g for £8.30. A little goes a long way so these really are good value for money. The ingredients: Irish Stout (Beer), Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Cocoamide DEA, Lauryl Betaine, Yeast Infusion (Yeast betaglucan), Fresh...

"Imagine"... being married to John Lennon

Advantages: An honest account of life with John Lennon.
Disadvantages: Very little that hasn't been written already.

...I did a search on Amazon to see how many titles came up for Beatles books. Result: 1182. For John Lennon: 445 results. So did we really need yet another book? Cynthia Lennon was born in 1939, the week the war began and lived in Hoylake ("over the water" from where John Lennon lived, in what was seen as a 'posh' area). She lost her father at 17 from cancer, which later would be one of the things that would bring her closer to John who had lost his mother at a similar age (It was also one of the few things he had in common with McCartney). Having won a scholarship to the Junior Art School in Liverpool at the age of 12, it now looked as if the death of her father would put a stop to her ambition to be an artist. Thankfully, her mother insisted that she continue her education. She started at the Liverpool College of Art in 1959...

Not Exactly Tantalizing

Advantages: Story aspects combined very well
Disadvantages: Uneven pacing

...It's said that in the horror field, there are only a limited number of stories you can work with, as so many ideas have already been used that there really is nothing new left to be discovered. So when you find someone who manages to put a slightly new twist on the old ideas, it's always worth having a look at and that's what Cynthia Leitich Smith has achieved here. Following the death of her parents in a car crash, fourteen-year-old Quincie Morris has to run the family restaurant with both it and her left in the care of her Uncle Davidson. Three years on, the restaurant has become a loss making business thanks to competition and they are turning Sanguini's into a vampire themed restaurant in the hope of cashing in on niche business. With less than a month to go until the grand re-opening, her head chef and close friend Vaggio is...

FREE DVDS

Advantages: up to date dvds, four weeks free hire with 3 dvds at a time,
Disadvantages: see review

...My recent quest for FREE DVD hire I visited and many DVD web sites that offered a free trial. Now call me tight (no that wasn?t an invite), but I like bargains and freebies and am not ashamed to say so. My quest took me to enough sites to hire DVDs for about four months so far (with plenty to come too). My latest free DVD site also happens to be the best I have tried for several reasons (see rest of op); the site in question is Blockbuster.co.uk. Other sites that I have had free rentals from and then cancelled have all been similar, two weeks free trial with two DVD?s per time ? which in effect gives you about four free DVD?s. With Blockbuster?s things are different slightly ? which add a great deal of benefit to us the customer. Firstly, you get FOUR whole weeks free rental, which equates to at double the length of time most...

Not tonight! I'm 'Lushing' my hair!

Advantages: Glossy locks.
Disadvantages: Gives me a thirst for beer...

...You may have noticed the original titles given to many of the Lush products .Some, even, leave you wondering as to their derivation. This product as far as I was concerned , fell into that category. My first reaction upon seeing it was *Cynthia Sylvia Stout *?? What a stupid name for a shampoo. Then my mind, as it often does these days, began to wander. 'Sylvia, who is she?' I asked -that sounds familiar . Then I realised it was a song title in the 70 's. ( Yes, I know I am an old bat....). As for Cynthia, I thought I was related to her. I have a cousin called Cynthia ( and boy, do I know it! ) . She certainly likes a tipple or two, so when I noticed this product contained beer and cognac I thought she must be the Cynthia in question. Then as she climbed back up from the floor, she reminded me that her poison was Bacardi...

Review of Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo

Don't Drink It, Wash Your Hair With It.

Advantages: Nice Smell, use fewer synthetics, not tested on animals
Disadvantages: Cheaper Shampoos, that are just as good

...Cynthia Sylvia Stout Cynthia Sylvia Stout is a Shampoo from Lush. It contains stout and cognac oil, which are both renowned for giving a shine to your hair. I used to love using Linco Beer shampoo so I thought this sounded good. This product comes in three sizes - 100g, 250g and 500g; which cost £2.95, £5.95 and £9.50 respectively. First of all the packaging is rather plain, a plastic bottle with a black label, the usual packaging from Lush. The shampoo itself is a translucent brown colour, and smells a bit like a medicated shampoo. Actually on reflection, it reminds me of Vosene, except maybe not quite as strong. This might put some people off, as I know a lot of people who can't stand Vosene , but I rather like it, as it is a lovely fresh smell. Okay, there are no special instructions to washing your hair...
