Lots to do at Dudley Zoo!

Advantages: Great day out for the family with lots to see
Disadvantages: Looks a little rundown

...Dudley Zoo first opened in 1937, and now stretches over 40 acres. The zoo is located a short walk from Dudley town centre (located in the West Midlands), and is not far at all from the bus station. There is no train station in Dudley but there are buses that run to and from many different places in the West Midlands located near by, including Birmingham and Wolverhampton. There is also a small car park next door to the zoo. Located on a hill, the castle is the remains of what was once a great building. The zoo is built around the castle and you automatically get free access to the castle upon entering the zoo. As it is located on a hill, there are some steep ramps and climbs in places which will make it difficult for wheelchair users to access. There used to be a cable car which you could take up to the castle grounds, however this...

Review of Dudley Zoo

Delightful Dudley

Advantages: Witty, funny, and brilliantly performed
Disadvantages: Too short and maybe a touch TOO funny

...It's very difficult to make an unbiased report of any kind on music and art - especially when you are a real fan. This is my dilemma as a fan of Dudley Moore. Unfortunately, I have now lost one of my lifelong musical ambitions which would have been to see him play live in London performing some of his extensive classical repertoire. Dudley Moore is well known as a comedian (Beyond the Fringe, Pete and Dud, Derek and Clive and so on), and as an actor (Bedazzled, Arthur etc). He is less well known as a first class musician. Dudley was, in fact, a highly respected jazz musician, and also a classical performer. Critically, his classical performances were very highly renowned. This op is on one recording in particular, 'Dudley Moore, Live from an aircraft hanger'. It should be explained that the 'Aircraft Hanger' in question is...

WWF Spike Dudley

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Spike Dudley ; Commonly referred to as " Little " Spike Dudley - and rightly so as they are clearly mentioning his size in that statement, the reason? he is around 5'5 and 150 pounds (or as the commentators say " a buck 50 ") and so he does not have the look of a wrestler nor does he have the strength but he sure has the athleticism and heart of a wrestler. He does moves which quite frankly I at least; find hard to believe - such as where he is thrown around like a rag doll. Such as, when he has come into the WWF I have seen him feud with people such as Bubba Ray and D-Von who are his " half brothers " a.k.a The Dudley Boyz who are table driven maniacs who like to put Spike through the wood at unbelievable velocity. Spike is the human bump taker and he is damn good at what he does - he recieves good crowd reactions and I like...

Dudley Zoo and its amazing Animals

Advantages: great place to see the animals you always dreamed of
Disadvantages: non that i can see

...Dudley Zoo, Well were do I start, I first went to Dudley as a teenager with a group of friends on a trip from our local youth club, were although we thought it was going to be a bit boring, we discovered it was a great and fascinating place, I have since returned a few times with my children, as little ones and when they were teenagers, and they have enjoyed it every time, Although I'm not overly fond of the idea of kept wildlife, I do understand that some times there is no alternative, if we wish to aid in preserving there future. And nobody does it better than Dudley. It is home to some of the Worlds most rare and exotic creatures, especially endangered species such as Asiatic lions, Sumatran tigers, lemurs, penguins, chimps and orang-utans. We had a great time, the kids still tell people about the extra long purple tongues that...

Dudley Zoological Gardens... an insider's POV

Advantages: More than you think!
Disadvantages: quite an expencive day out

...allows guests to get right up close, and even touch the lemurs, who quite happily interact wih the visitors. Also, just opened is a Wallaby walk-through. There are some empty enclosures at the zoo, but this is simpley becuase the 'curved concrete' enclosures are listed buildings and cannot be altered. The zoo provides a great day out for the family as there is always alot going on throughout the day, especially durng the school holidays. For the kids there is face painting, a funfair, an adventure playground and an activity centre. Also, throughout the day all guests can see the animals being fed, doing tricks and they can also listen to talks about the animals given by Dr Dudley himself. Children can also meet some of the smaller animals during events throughout the day. Gusts are likely to bump into Bob the Barn Owl and the Alpacas during...

Worcester University

Advantages: Accomodation, Student Union, Sports, Clubs, Library, IT, History
Disadvantages: Expense

...I've been here getting on for around a week now and I must say that I have had an excellent time so far. Before accepting the offer to go Worcester I travelled to it to investigate it and to see if it was for me. After travelling around some of the other universitys that I got into I came to the conclusion that this one was more for me conpared to any of the others. Size ********* I've found that its small which makes it quaint in my eyes and from my opinion however I find a city that is huge can be a little too big and can appear scary and overwhelming at times. Worcesters size is perfect offering up Night Clubs, Food, Shops and culture. The University was originally opened as an emergency teaching college until only recently in the last few years it has been granted the ability to become a university. This means it has being...

D-Von - bad mutha Dudley

Advantages: Hardened lethal character with technical ability
Disadvantages: No chance of a singles career

...D-Von Dudley is one half of the talented and maniacal Dudley Boyz who wreak havoc on anyone and everything, much to the crowd?s either extreme approval or extreme distaste, depending on the superstar, either male or female, that is unfortunate enough to be making a trip through the table or whatever item of furniture that they are unlucky enough to be using. They have a good gimmick going with the tables thing since it offers a bit of hardcore action to the ECW fans out there, and even have a great TLC (tables, ladders and chairs) match coming up at Summerslam involving the tag champs....

Review of D-Von Dudley

The University of Birmingham

Advantages: Great teaching, facilities, opportunites and social life
Disadvantages: i am only here for 3 years, wish it could be more.

...I am a student at the University of Birmingham in my first year of the popular course; Sports and Exercise Sciences. Although it is a difficult university to get in to, there are hundreds of different courses to choose from if you are not accepted on your favoured course. Also, they are quite lenient with grades as I did not achieve the expected marks but still got in... shhh! So what made Birmingham my number one choice? As soon as I arrived at the open day and got a walk around the campus I knew this was the place for me. Not only is it one of the leading universities in the UK for my course it is a beautiful place to study with its landmark clock tower, luscious all weather pitches and modern redbrick buildings. I felt right at home here and could picture myself studying here for the future. The Campus is located in Selly Oak...

My University

Advantages: great place, great people
Disadvantages: new so still improving

...Introduction I have been a student at the University of Gloucestershire for 2 years now. I am on a year out, but will be going back to do my 3rd and final year to complete my Business Management degree. My time at the university has been very memorable and I am looking forward to going back and finishing my course. I have thought about whether I made the right decision choosing this university over the large number of other universities available around the country, but I do not regret the decision I have made. I have made many great friends and love the environment of the university. Campuses The University of Gloucestershire is split up into four campuses: Park, Francis Close Hall, Oxstalls and Pittville. Park campus is known as 'The Business School'. Those studying any business related courses, hospitality...

Nottingham Trent University

Advantages: Great Uni. Fact!
Disadvantages: Disadvantages?!

...So, having just finished at Nottingham Trent University it made perfect sense to make this brief review on the place...trust me if I reviewed every aspect of life here that I've experienced it would equate to the length of War & Peace! Trent is officially the leading "new" university in the country and is predominantly a city-based campus, with two other campuses located at Clifton (about 5 miles south of the city) and Brackenhurst (a very rural campus based to the north-east). I spend three years there and had an awesome time. In my first year I was based at the Simpsons Halls of Residence, which are in the Lenton area of Nottingham. Although not the nicest area of the city, the halls were certainly some of the best. Having had coursemates and friends who were located at other halls such as Hampden and Sandby which are much closer...
