My brain!!

Advantages: Simple and Easy to use
Disadvantages: None......yet

...----------------------------Background Information--------------------------- I bought the Sharp EL-531VH calculator many years ago from my school maths tuck shop. It was on sale there as we needed it for our lessons therefore were persuaded to buy it. I have had it since then and it has been over 6 years and it is still absolutely fine, mind you my chemistry teacher has had a computer since he was teaching pupils since the ancient times and his is still working so this calculator has been beaten. Nevertheless this is a handy piece of equipment that can become your best friend when in need, especially when water enters one ear and drips out of the other, i.e. no brain! It doesn't take a genius to use the calculator and the functions are all present in an easy display manner therefore user friendly...

Review of Sharp EL 531 VH

Painted with real smurf.....perhaps

Advantages: Plenty of functions, rather sexy blue colour :p
Disadvantages: Only battery powered, no graphical ability

...After losing my beloved casio calculator two days before my GCSE maths exam (all those years ago :p), I rushed over to WHSmiths to see if I could find something that would begin to compare to my stalwart electronic abacus. I needed something affordable, durable and easy enough to work out how to use in my remaining two days. The answer? The SHARP EL-531VH LOOKS ******** The first thing that attracted me to this wonderful calculator was the fact it stood out so well, being a wonderful translucent blue colour, I figured it would make it that little bit more difficult to lose! The screen is of a fair size, providing enough room for digits to be clearly seen, as well as space for the current mode to be displayed and one line of complete playback. The buttons are clearly labelled, with white font on the blue background, so it is...

The Fantastic Sharp Scientific Calculator

Advantages: great added features including memory storage
Disadvantages: not the most advanced calculator you can get

...you want it to with numbers. if you make a mistake you can just go back instead of having to start all over again like you do with some calculators, it has 5 memory buttons to remember any number or sum that you have worked out for you to use easily again in the future. there are so many added bonus's to this i suggest you go out buy it and see for yourself. About the sharp EL 531 VH: Upper: 12 digit Lower: 10 + 2 Digit Direct algebraic logic 2 line display Multi line playback Constant calculation Chain calculation Easyglide hard case 183 functions Boxed-product weight: 223 g unfortunately this calculator DOESN'T have the following features: Clock Financial Functions Printing Printing Functionality Programmable i would definately recommend this calculator to anybody. it is long lasting and is priced between £8...

  Port El Kantaoui

Advantages: Beautiful Beaches
Disadvantages: Mainly For Couples, Hassle From Local Shopkeekers

...Port El Kantaoui is a purpose built Holiday Resort on the Northern Coast of Tunisia in North Africa. It is situated just a few kilometres North of Sousse, Tunisia's second largest City after the Capital Tunis. It was built in 1979 with a modern 300 Yacht capacity Marina as its focal point. In recent years this Marina has become a popular mooring location for the rich and famous undertaking their Mediterranean Cruises and the Marina here is said to rival those long established Marinas of Nice and Marbella on the Southern Coast of Europe. It is now also Tunisia's most popular Holiday Resort. I stayed in Port El Kantaoui between the 2nd and 9th July 2006 and found the experience to be a rather interesting one. Since it was my first visit to Tunisia I was a little unsure of what to expect and as my Holiday approached I began to hear...

Can the inspiron 531 inspire you?

Advantages: price
Disadvantages: quality

...I bought the Dell Inspiron 531 for just under £400. I suppose depending on what you need is the only way to tell you if this is a good product. Obviously, i own one and i have to say it's not one of my smartest ideas; now, after just 5 months roughly, when i switch it on the bar at the bottom doesn't work (unless I'm extremely lucky) therefore have been left to use alt and the arrows. Even before buying it, i knew that athlon isn't very good in general, they use cheaper material and therefore cost less and i thought, because it has dual core and 1gb of ram that it would still be fine, and even with, i think 160gb of memory, it goes slow and is constantly freezing. I also later learnt that Windows Vista needs bigger ram to run smoothly. On the other hand, the colours are quite good and it hasn't completely failed me, it is widely...

Don't pass on El Paso

Advantages: Fantastic hotel.
Disadvantages: They made me go home !!

...This review is about my holiday at the El Paso Hotel, Port Aventura, Spain in October 2008. My holiday was booked through First Choice Holidays and for my husband, myself and our 12 year old son for a weeks half board stay with unlimited access to the park, the cost, including flights and transfers was £1200. We all had a wonderful time, I won't go into the park details as I have already written a review on that aspect of Port Aventura - this review is purely about our stay in the hotel. We flew into Reus airport and it only took 10 - 15 minutes to get to our hotel. Before I go any further, let me explain about Halloween at Port Aventura. Every October and November Port Aventura goes into Halloween mode, and boy - they don't do it by half. If you have ever been to Disneyland at Halloween - Port Aventura do it...

  Charm-El-Sheik!

Advantages: Snorkelling, the red sea, food, price, heat.
Disadvantages: The runs!

...Me and my partner stayed in a hotel called the Conrad Sharm El Sheik in Egypt for a week from Monday 12th of June to the 19th of June. We had the most amazing holiday and I hope you enjoy reading my review of what I consider one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited in my life. I will start by reviewing the actual travel agents, etc then go on to the beautiful Sharm! Who did you book with? We booked with a well known travel Agent called First Choice. How much did it cost and what did it include? The total cost of the holiday for both of us came to 1058. This was for a week's stay in a four stay hotel, all inclusive basis, including travel insurance, flights and flight meals as well. We paid a 240 sterling pound deposit and we paid the rest off in installments. We booked the holiday in December 2005 and the money...

El Macho, Bravo

Advantages: Good location. Lively atmosphere Authentic
Disadvantages: Gets busy

...The El Macho Mexican Restuarant is located in Hope Street,the appropriately named street that separates the two Cathedrals in Liverpool. It is a very convenient location -not far from the city centre or the University.I have been to El Macho's twice and must say I liked the simple rustic decor,the friendly,exuberant service, the food and the drinks. For the quality of the food on offer,it is also reasonably priced.It is a lively spot and gets very busy so it is probably wise to book a table.I have been told that Sir Paul McCartney, when he is in town ,likes to visit this little corner of Mexico but he wasnt there when I was. They have a good range of Mexican starters with the likes of nachos, chillis, beans and dips while among the entrees are seafood dishes and their famous Mexican Skillet which comprises charcoal grilled...

Review of El Macho Restaurant

Perfect for Espresso- the Dualit EL60

Advantages: Grinds to a super fine powder for the perfect espresso
Disadvantages: Sometimes can't grind enough coffee in one go for a coffee maker.

...I bought the Dualit EL60 from "Whittards of Chelsea" in September 2008 to grind coffee beans for my "Gaggia Baby Classic" espresso machine and paid £28 in the end of summer sale. When making espresso by hand using a machine with a handle, you need to ensure that the coffee grinds are in a fine powder as this lets you can maximise the crème layer on your espresso. Being aware of this I quizzed the assistants in both Whittards and my local speciality coffee shop who both recommended this grinder to achieve the finest grade of powder for the perfect espresso. Though I have only used this for espresso I should note that with multiple grind grades the grinder can be used to grind coffee for all sorts of purposes including cafetieres. When purchased the grinder came in a small box that essentially fitted it like a glove so it seemed...

  Sharm el Shiekh - Dive in

Advantages: Weather, diving, friendliness, hotel stds and price
Disadvantages: Adjusting to Arab culture and being pestered

...I have recently returned from Naama Bay in Sharm el Shiekh which could possibly be the best value dive resort in the world. This review is actually of Naama Bay the area itself and what it has to offer. I must quantify this by stating that the diving/snorkelling is my own personal experience. Personally I could never just go and lie on a beach for more than an hour or two (and 2 hours would need a very very good book!). The 'bucket and spade brigade' info is feedback from friends I have recommended this resort to. I have been there 13 times and plan to continue going back. I know, there are many people (including myself before I went there) who cannot imagine going back to the same resort but Naama Bay really is different.............................. Honest (and I don't mean cause it's been bombed! but more on the terrorist...
