Doors Closing

Advantages: Compelling enough crime story
Disadvantages: Not a patch on the Rebus stories

...in a safe, the safe was in a vault secured by a barred gate during the day and a thick steel door over night. Once sealed, the alarm would be set; the alarm was monitored but not time-locked and each member of staff had their own code. Each stage required two key holders (red and blue for differentiation) who would have the keys and combinations for one half of each lock. Half the branch staff would be red key holders and the other would be blue. I was a red key holder. My colleague, a blue key holder, and I would regularly go for a post work drink and do you know what we often discussed? Robbing the bank, obviously. Or, more exactly; robbing the bank and getting away with it. You see that?s the tricky bit. With a bit of careful planning I could probably have shepherded the cash balance up to one and half million, perhaps even two...

Review of Doors Open - Ian Rankin

Sliding Doors

Advantages: Easy To Watch
Disadvantages: Nothing Fantastic

...Sliding Doors is a film which brings to the screens the question ?what if?? it was released in 1998 and is still managing to bring in plenty of viewers due to its unique story and layout which has been copied, but not as successfully, since. What?s it all about? The movie is a romance story about Helen, the film follows her in her struggles through her life, work and especially her love life. The starting and main point of the film is at the beginning, she is catching a train which turns out to be a major pinpoint of her life. The film is then split into two stories, one in which follows on from her catching the train, and one of which follows on from her missing the train. This small event in Helen?s life changes everything and the consequences of either one is flashed back to throughout the film, and she experiences...

"LOCKED" INN . . .

Advantages: lovely rooms, great food, good location, easily accessible
Disadvantages: could be noisy at night

...This week I stayed at the Holiday Inn Camden Lock for three nights while I was in London for work. My only previous trips to London have had me staying in the ExCel Novotel in Docklands so this was a new experience for me. LOCATION The hotel is located in Camden, next to (predictably!) Camden Lock. It is about a five minute walk from Camden Town tube station, which makes it fairly convenient if you?re having to use public transport to reach it. The website states that the hotel is also outwith the congestion zone, which I guess means you could drive down to the hotel and then use it as a base to get elsewhere using the tube or buses. (Although its worth noting that the website also states the car parking facility is 1km away!) As it is right off the main street, it is very handy for all the shops, restaurants and bars too. Which...

Evanescence-The Open Door

Advantages: Brillant stuff
Disadvantages: one or two lacking tracks

...Evanescence:The Open Door Evanescence a well know heavy metal'gothic' band (Although I wouldn't put the gothic in there') First released their debut album 'Fallen' in 2003 and followed that up with their live DVD 'Anywhere But Home' in 2004. In 2006 with Wind-UP Records they released this album 'The Open Door.' In my oppinion it is a great album, although I do prefer their previous album 'Fallen'. Their tracks 'Lithium' and 'Call Me When You're Sober' both have Music video's which are to a great standard. The Band Members Current Members Amy Lee ? lead vocals, piano, keyboards Terry Balsamo ? lead guitars Tim McCord ? bass Former Members David Hodges ? keyboards, piano, drums, backing vocals Ben Moody ? lead guitars Will Boyd ? bass John LeCompt ? rhythm...

sliding doors

Advantages: great movie, great actors, great storyline
Disadvantages: Some people may find the movie hard to follow.

...Sliding doors is one of my all time favorite films! made by director Peter Howitt he has really made a different kind of film that makes you use your brain. It follows the life of helen (actress Gwyneth Paltrow) Who works in PR and lives with her writer boyfriend, unbeknown to helen her boyfriend gerry (actor John Lynch) Is cheating on her with an ex girlfriend, Helen goes to work as normal but gets sacked due to sexist male employees! Then the story really starts, Helen gets into the lift and makes her way to the tube station, then the screen splits, One helen catches the train, whilst the other helen misses the train ( They are both still the same person the story follows would would and wouldnt have happened if she caught or missed the train) The helen that misses the train has to get a taxi and gets mugged therefore she misses...

what havoc there would be without them

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...When our niece stays over it can be a bit of a nightmare. We love her but the problem is that in the kitchen she can reach the bottom cupboards draws. We’ve had food on the floor, drink spilled and many more problems. What caused us more concern and worry was that the sink unit contains all the cleaning products some of which are quite dangerous if sprayed into eyes. So, my Mum decided to get some Kiddiproof door locks. They are excellent and now our lovely little niece can go into the kitchen without emptying our cupboards because she cannot open them anymore. Very easy to install and unless you know that they are fitted in, you can’t tell. A child will have great difficulty in opening the locks. You are required to hold a button down on the side and top and then release the catch for the door to open...

Sliding Doors

Advantages: Thoughtful Rom Com, Engaging, Warm
Disadvantages: Some OTT performances

...Sliding Doors - Film Only review What different path would your life follow if you happened to say, miss a tube-train by only a second? What effect would that second have on your life? Would it be different? Or is your destiny inextricably mapped out? Sliding Doors, directed by Peter Howett (of 'Bread' fame) explores this question, following the life of recently fired PR Girl Helen (Gwyneth Paltrow) as she misses a train in one scenario but catches it in another. The movie cleverly switches between the two storylines - in the first, after catching the train, Helen arrives home early to find her boyfriend Gerry (John Lynch) enthusiastically entertaining his brash American bit-on-the-side (the ever-sexy Jeanne Tripplehorn). In the other, missing the train, she arrives home much later to find Gerry guiltily washing...

The Open Door

Advantages: Great songs, great vocals, lovely album cover
Disadvantages: "Your Star"

...As a big fan of Evanescence's first major album "Fallen", back in 2003, I had high expectations for "The Open Door". When I found out in the summer that they had a new album coming out, I could barely wait until October, and scoured the internet searching for pre-release reviews of the long-awaited record. And when I finally got it, I was not disappointed. I enjoyed it on the first listen through, but on the second and then the third (and so on), I loved it! A lot of the songs are very good, and in my view, there's only one track that lets the album down, which is "Your Star". Having read the other reviews on here for this CD, I was quite surprised at the response from the reviewers and the comments received, and I seem to be alone in my view that this was a great album! Nevertheless, I shall continue with this review in an effort...

Red Door

Advantages: Smells lovely
Disadvantages: None

...I Love this product its my 'signature' perfurme whenever I wear people always say I smell nice (which is nice!). The price has dropped over the years and you can pick up a bottle of Red Door eau de Toilette Spray 100ml from Superdrug for as little as £16.99 and if you are an ebay user cheaper still. Smell Quote 'Sensuous blend of deep, rich florals features a captivating scent that fills the senses. A very feminine scent.' - Totally agree with this statement it's a lovely fragrance. Packaging Comes in an elegant bottle as per photograph. Sizes= Can be bought in either 25ml, 50ml or 100ml bottle Summary Good value for money fragrance, goes well with the lotion (which is makes the skin feel very smooth). An ideal gift. I always seem to go back to the perfume time and time again, a change is always good, but this is...

Lock it up

Advantages: Locks cases
Disadvantages: Not high security

...Antler combination lock On a recent foray abroad, I decided that it was about time I started locking my trusty holdall.. just because it has served me well for about 20years, doesn?t mean that it will always remain tightly shut when I get it off that carousel. So, needing something simple, and not with a key, I settled on the combination lock. I realised early on that I would lose a key, or put it into the bag for safe keeping, but realised that I could probably remember numbers. ~~Product and Packaging~~ My combination lock is in orange, but I have seen the blue ones for sale. These type of locks are for zipped cases?ones which have zips which join together and can be fastened I assume. It is about 5cm in length and has 3 small dials at the side with a metal hook like contraption which snaps closed like other...
