A Little Piece of Germany in West Yorkshire

Advantages: Close to city centre and cathedral, work a quick visit
Disadvantages: Would be nice to have some bars/cafes

...the Franco-Prussian War was the spark for many more merchants to come. As with many British cities, the mania for knocking things down in order to fill the gaps with concrete monstrosities in the 1960s was followed with a passion in Bradford but a good number of buildings still remain. The variety of styles is much narrower than it would have been in the nineteenth century when some of the buildings caused quite a stir. Today there are eighty-five buildings left from that period in Little Germany of which fifty-five are listed ? and therefore protected which is good news. You might want to ask about walking tours at the tourist information office. However, we just had a Sunday morning stroll around the area ourselves which, while it was pleasant enough we?d probably have benefitted from knowing a bit more about the buildings and we would...

Review of Little Germany (Bradford)

Portugal vs. Germany 2-3

Advantages: A couple oif very good goals, good attacking intent
Disadvantages: Slack defending at times

...There was a massive build up to this match with critics, pundits, bookmakers and fans alike all debating whether Portugal's flare would triumph over Germany's big game experience. Would Ronaldo step up to the plate and overshadow Ballack? Who would triumph in midfield? Pepe or Lahm? All these questions were set to be answered in half an hour. Immediately it was clear that this match would be determined in midfield, and Germany lined up 4-5-1, with Podolski being pushed out to the left wing. Both teams started of clearly very wary of each other, struggling to penetrate each others defence. The first clear chances fell to Thomas Hitzlsperger, formerly of Aston Villa, who shot twice from distance, one hitting Deco and the other one from a tight angle found the side netting. However, the first good chance fell to Portugals Simao who...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

great car seat

Advantages: see rview
Disadvantages: expense, heavy

...I bought this when I had my baby as it was apparently the best on the market and I really can't find fault with it at all it has been the most reliable of our baby products and can't rate it highly enough. This car seat is different from others as it is suitable for up to 9 months whilst the majority of others are just up to 6 months. The seat is well padded and has a 'head hugger' so it is safer for newborns. This headhugger can then be removed once your baby is big enough. The straps also can be adjusted once your baby grows so that it is still safe and comfortable. The straps are easy to use- at first they were fiddly but once you have the hang of them then you know what you're doing they're easy! once you have strapped your baby in you then pull on the straps to make them tight so that your baby is safetly in place...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

Germany At A Low After Bilic's Side Rocked!

Advantages: A strong performance from Croatia
Disadvantages: Germany unable to generate momentum

...Croatia are a quality side so I wouldn't say this came as a shock result, but nonetheless it was a great victory. Bilic called the correct changes after Austria, a game they had lost their grip on after about half an hour, sacrificing a striker and opting for effectively, an extra man in midfield, with Kranjcar in an advanced attacking role. And it worked, as Germany failed to generate momentum, and Croatia were clinical on the counter-attack, registering more efforts on goal despite seeing less of the ball. Questions were asked of the German defence, with Jansen caught ball watching as Srna nicked in ahead of him to score. Rakitic completed the game with a high pass success rate, but it was down to his cross being deflected which Lehmann scrambled to push onto the post - only for Olic to seize on the opportunity. He might have got lucky...

Review of Croatia vs Germany

A must-see for all of those car mad boys!

Advantages: The soundtrack
Disadvantages: The characters aren't very strong

...When I first watched this film, I thought it was a loud of rubbish. At the time I was convinced it was probably the worst Disney film that I had seen and wasn't bothered about watching it again any time soon. Noah had other plans and I am currently watching it for the hundredth time! I am not sure if it's a case of becoming familiar with something and quite liking it but this film has really grown on me. The film is based around a famous race car, Lightening Maclean, who gets lost and finds himself in a small town on Route 66 called Radiator Springs. He ends up having to stay in the town after getting arrested and being ordered to fix the road that he broke as a result of wreckless driving. He is desperate to leave and get back in time to win the Piston Cup but as time goes on he makes some great friends. Will he stay and build...

Germany no users guide

Advantages: attractive landscape
Disadvantages: rudeness of people

...You are planning a trip to germany? You have never been there before? You don’t know what to expect and how to behave? Let me help you. Warning: A little bit of humour may have crept inadvertently into this opinion. Anyone knows, of course, that we Germans possess no such thing, but I wouldn’t guarantee that what I have written is irreproachably humour-free. So, complaints will be graciously accepted, but to no effect whatsoever. No, you can’t have your money back. 1. East&West A very wise man once declared that he liked Germany so much he’d rather have two of them. Well, he got his ways – up to 1990. Then the two German tribes called Wessi and Ossi (no, they haven’t got anything to do with Aussies) found themselves quite unexpectedly under the roof of one single state and one single boastful...

Mervelous car polish . . .

Advantages: Polish anytime, any weather.
Disadvantages: Price?

...Being a skinflint, I got mine cheap off a market stall, As it was a bargain, I decided to give it a go, instead of the stuff I usually use - Car Plan, although I have always been happy with it, I have heard people "wax" lyrical about Mer but never used it. Glad I gave it a try now. The polish is suitable for all paint finishes, including metallic, you can also use it on your caravan, bike, upvc windows or anywhere else you need a good shine. The polish comes in a plastic container, coloured blue, in the following sizes, half litre, one litre, three litres, and the massive trade size of ten litres. Recommended retail prices range from £11 for the smallest, sixteen Pounds and thirty-one for the 1 & 3 litres, then up to a whopping £71 for the large. These prices are expensive, but the polish is very good, and does tend to go a long way...

Review of Mer Car Polish

Cars - KACHOW!!

Advantages: Great film and fantastic characters - What a film
Disadvantages: None - Just make sure you watch it!

...Sitting down infront of the TV with my brother revising for my A Levels, my brother then decided to go and get the Pixar boxset from our DVD collection. After moaning that I did not want to watch Cars for several minutes because I thought it would be a terrible film, my brother put the film on anyway. It was his choice. He is 5 years older. How lucky was I that he decided this for us. What a film. Cars is again a great hit by Pixar and one I would recommend to all families, for kids and adults. It is a fantastic film with great cast voices and is full of hilarious characters. I cant remember the last time I had so much fun 'revising'. "Brief Plot" Cars is set in a world filled by anthropomorphic cars and other vehicles. The plot is about a rookie car racer called Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) who is part of the infamous...

Cars like you've never seen them before

Advantages: Original Plot
Disadvantages: Not for everyone

...Cars is an animated film produced by Pixar and Disney in 2006. It revolves around ?the piston cup,? a fictional racing trophy and the cars that are involved in it. Lightning McQueen is the new, yet favoured car. At the finale of the trophy, it turns out that for the first time there is a draw, and so a compromise is reached: whoever gets to the next race first will win the trophy, title and sponsors. However, Lightning gets stuck on route 66 in a town called Radiator Springs when he causes havoc there on the way through, will he ever make it back in time and what will he learn? It was made by Pixar, whose films I always find excellent and they seem to make their animated features just right, they have a distinctive style and this shows through in cars. The main voices include Owen Wilson, Paul Newman and Bonnie Hunt as the three...
