Dunnes Stores Clothes, really?

Advantages: Nice clothes relatively cheap
Disadvantages: Fashion mood swings

..." You buy your best clothes in Dunnes Stores up yours. " Well, thats no longer my opinion. Dunnes Stores is one of those traditional, cheap department stores. I remember it when it was a bog standard supermarket, however in my town they now specialise in clothes and other household utilities. It is December, and feeling a little cold and unenthusiastic about Christmas, I popped into Dunnes Stores to see if I could pick up a bargain. TK Maxx is ten miles away and everybody wheres they latest stripey jumper from Tesco, so I needed something cheap but different. Dunnes Stores didn't disappoint! I had once before looked in Dunnes and was taken aback by the shleves upon shelves of mens clothing that was simply for chavs, spides, scallies, whatever you want to call them. Pink and yellow, all that. This time however Dunnes had...

Fun at Dunn's

Advantages: fun,good value,good climb
Disadvantages: not recommended for younger children/people unable to climb

...This is definately one not to be missed whilst in Jamaica. We really enjoyed the catamaran cruise that "cool runnings" provided to this destination. On the way out, you could jump off the boat and snorkel on the reef, then once you arrived at Dunn's river falls it was time to climb! At first I thought that I would stand and watch, but I really wanted to try the climb and found that I managed pretty easily when following my own rules. You are asked to hold hands with the person in front and the person behind you, however at certain times I found that I needed both hands to climb the rocks (especially where it can get a bit slippery). It is, however, a good idea to stay near those in front of you and behind you, as you are able to help each other out quite a lot and find different ways across the rocks. The experienced tour...

Country DUNN well

Advantages: another quality release from this duo
Disadvantages: unknown in uk due to the country label

...This, the fifth album by the country duo of Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn, is superior to their last release in many ways. They seem a lot more settled in the various styles they attempt. The opening track for example, "How Long Gone", is in the contemporary style we associate with the likes of Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw, but where as on the last album (Borderline) this style was the weak link this is a good tune, with a strong melody and quietly rocking riff. The vocals are great, very much settled in their own style. Other outstanding tracks on the album are I Can't Get Over You This falls somewhere between contemporary and ballad and doesn't suffer for it. It has a great melody and the vocals really carry the majority of the tune along. Its almost a cry for help, and the chorus really digs into that feeling. If You...

Review of If You See Her - Brooks & Dunn

Dunns River sandals- bit of a letdown.....

Advantages: beautiful beach, fantastic buffet
Disadvantages: other resturants very poor

...trying to sell you stuff! It had two pools, a loud one with "enforced fun" as we callef it- largely used by americans ;-) and a slightly smaller quieter one mainly used by the brits where you didnt get hassled to join in on water aerobics etc! There were a fair few excursions you could go on but we ended up not going on any as much to our disgust there was again more enforced fun where if you went to Dunns rivers falls for example you then had to have a race down them for example.All the excursions that were of any interest to us were like this. We didnt go into the main town due to all the information on muggings, raping and shootings! we also felt very un-nerved on our way back to the airport as we were in a van with no seat belts and a driver who was just scary, i was literally flying out of my seat at some points! Also we got quite...

Dunn's River Fall? YOU MUST GO!

Advantages: Great experience, beautiful settings
Disadvantages: Not for the weaker of people

...If you ever go to Jamaica, this is a definate must go!! It must be one of the most famous attractions in Jamaica. I visited Jamaica last year for a week and the Dunn's River Falls was by far the single most amazing experiences I have ever fulfilled. After an hour trip with a mini bus full of people from our stay at Montego Bay, we finally arrived at Dunn's River Falls. We started off at the foot of the falls where we had to start our journey hand in hand up the river falls in the formation of girl, boy. There are allocated camera men for each party of people who will film your whole journey up the river falls, so at the end you are able to purchase a DVD of your journey to take home to remind you of the experience. I will admit there is quite a strong current and the some rocks are very slippery so you MUST be careful to ensure your...

I Had Time For A Book Like This!

Advantages: Intriguing with great characters and an air of mystery
Disadvantages: Ending was a little disappointing.

...liked most about the book, that it was believable and I could relate to most of the story and feelings. It isn't a difficult book to read, although I would also be hasty to add that it isn't fluff. I think this is an ideal holiday or relaxing weekend book. Other Information At A Time Like This By Catherine Dunne My Copy was published in 2008 by Pan Books ISBN 978-0-330-46385-0...

Review of At A Time Like This - Catherine Dunne

Better Value Beats Them All

Advantages: See opinion
Disadvantages: See opinion

...~ ~ Dunnes Stores are the Irish equivalent of Marks and Spencers in the UK, and in fact were to a large extent modelled on that company. But whereas Marks and Sparks have seen a recent downturn in their trading fortunes, Dunnes Stores have gone from strength to strength since the late Ben Dunne opened his first store in Patrick Street in Cork on March 30th, 1944. It is a sign of the consistency of this company to always deliver what the consumer demands that its original advertising slogan, emblazoned on the wall of its very first shop, “Better Value”, is still the mainstay of its present day advertising campaigns. It has now been expanded to “Dunnes Stores. Better Value Beats Them All”, but the basic premise of the company to always be consumer driven has remained one of its strongest attributes in an ever...

From Here to Hilarity

Advantages: Hilarious , great easy to read story, brilliant!
Disadvantages: It had to end!

...'s name. Will goes to pretty desperate measures to find a suitable women, someone mumsy but not dowdy, good looking and fun, not boring. He advertises on Ebay, Friends Reunited, you name Will has thought of it. But will Will ever find his perfect woman?! And will he get to be a dad? I must say this is one of the funniest books I have read in a long long time. I took this to the beach with me, and it is just the most perfect holiday read. It is easy to read, light-hearted and a completely hilarious romp from start to finish. I got into this straight away, I think the third page had me in stitches! The book was scattered with hilarious bits which made me actually laugh out loud, a rare thing for a book to do to me! Matt Dunn the author has created a great main character. Will is a likeable guy as you can see that his heart is in the right...

Review of From Here to Paternity - Matt Dunn

Get climbing!

Advantages: Fun and different
Disadvantages: Not suitable for all people to partake in

...I was in Jamaica on a work trip just under two years ago now and whilst we were there we had an organised trip to the Dunn's river falls included. Because it was pre organised everything was arranged prior to our arrival. However, the Dunn's River falls and park, where it is situated, seems to be the same from the main website so I will give you my opinion on this place as it is one of Jamaica's top attractions that you simply must visit if going on a trip to Jamaica! What is it? Dunn's River falls and park is located in Ocho Rios and is a park area that surrounds the Dunn' river and the falls that are at the end of the river which eventually leads right into the ocean at the bottom on the beach. The fall section is quite mild really and not a huge falls. There are plenty of rocks near to the surface and no part of it is too deep...
