Nectar Card

Advantages: Lots of retailers to collect with
Disadvantages: Online points may not equal amount of cashback available elsewhere

...The nectar card is the loyalty card associated with Sainsbury's, however it has since branched out and is affiliated with many companies which allows for maximum point collecting! Let's start with the basics, you get 2 points per pound spent at Sainsburys or 1 point per litre of petrol bought at the Sainsbury's petrol garage. Each point accumulated is worth half a penny, so you need 2 points to equal 1 pence. If you redeem your points in store at Sainbury's then you will need minimum 500 points for £2.50 off o your shopping. Points need to be redeemed in increments of 500. Points can also be collected in other stores, for example Dolland and Aitchinson also give 2 points per pound, as do Homebase. As far as I am aware however, you cannot redeem your points against your total bills in these stores. Points can also be collected...

Review of Nectar Card

A huge expansion

Advantages: huge expansion, new enemies, weapons, armour and items, great environment, outstanding plot
Disadvantages: may crash too often, most of the characters are stupid

...Disk Space DirectX 9.0c (included in the CD/DVD) 128 MB Direct 3D Compatible Video card DirectX 9.0 compatible Video driver DirectX 8.1 Compatible Sound Card Keyboard and Mouse * The system should have Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion installed. ENTER THE NEW SHIVERING ISLES The Shivering Isles leads to a new, entirely different world with a new storyline. The player will hear news about a strange door being opened near the city of Bravil in an island in the Bay of Niben. A map marker will be added to make sure that you don't lose your way. As you go to explore this strange door, you will find a soldier talking about it and also another buy who has gone completely crazy after going through that door. You will be adviced not to go through the door, but as this is a game and we got this expansion after some difficulty, we will go...

Oyster Card

Advantages: Convenient
Disadvantages: You could lose it!

...We Londoners are insistent people. We want cheap travel to anywhere in one of the biggest cities in the world. We want it regularly, without delays and seven days a week?if possible. Not too much to ask then?oh and we want a convenient travel card rather than paying with cash for each individual journey. Of course. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the Oyster card then. For those who don?t live in London or perhaps have never even stepped foot in the capital, the following paragraphs may read like absolute gobbledegook, but trust me, I think I know what I?m talking about and I think it makes sense. The Oyster card is basically a form of electronic ticketing used on public transport ? buses, some National Rail trains, trams, underground and the Docklands Light Railway system within Greater London. The blue card, which costs just a £3...

Make a Bee Line for the Nectar Card !!

Advantages: A good way to save for the extras at no extra cost
Disadvantages: None at all.

...THE PURPLE CARD IN MY PURSE THE NECTARCARD I have owned a Nectar card for many years now - in fact my card is the old design and I keep forgetting to upgrade it!! "WHAT IS A NECTAR CARD ??" The Nectar card is a Loyalty or Reward card. It is NOT a credit or debit card and is free to join. Nectar is owned by Groupe Aeroplan Inc., and it is estimated that more than 50 per cent of UK households collect Nectar points when shopping for groceries, booking a holiday, paying household bills, buying petrol and even eating and earn Nectar points every time they shop online via Nectar eStores at over 220 leading online retailers. The scheme was started in September 2002. It is not actually a Sainsbury's Loyalty Card as the Tesco Clubcard is for Tesco, although Sainsburys and BP are the key members in the scheme...

Review of Nectar Card

A magical expansion pack for The Sims.

Advantages: Adds a lot of new gameplay.
Disadvantages: None really, unless you don't like The Sims.

...~~~*~~~ Sims Makin' Magic Expansion Pack ~~~*~~~ I have been playing The Sims for years and I have never used one of the many expansion packs until just before Christmas. I was on Amazon trying to spend some of those lovely Dooyoo Miles and I stumbled across the Makin' Magic expansion. (I ended up spending the Dooyoo Miles on something else though as this was SO cheap on the marketplace side of Amazon). ~~~*~~~ The Sims? ~~~*~~~ The Sims is a life simulation game made by Maxis. I am not going to write a whole load of stuff about the Sims but if you have never heard of it before look for some reviews of it or check out Wikipedia for loads of really useful information. As previously mention Makin' Magic is an Expansion Pack for the original Sims game. You need to have a version of the original game installed on your PC before...

Review of The Sims: Makin' Magic Expansion Pack (PC)

By far the best expansion!

Advantages: Adds a lot to the game, speeds it up
Disadvantages: A bit buggy at the moment

...It's a busy life for a Sim. If they aren't at work, they're probably working on building up their skill points, trying to forge relationships, and of course, trying not to die of starvation or wet themselves. And now for those moments in between comes the latest expansion park, Free Time. For me, Free Time has been exactly what I was looking for. It can be hard work managing the lives of your families, but once you've got all that out of the way, well, there isn't exactly much for them to do. While there are games like chess for your sims to enjoy, I just wasn't convinced that enough people in reality enjoyed chess for my sims to take that much interest in it either. And so, many of my games resulted in all of my sims just sitting there watching TV for hours on end. But now, Free Time brings your Sims some all new things to do...

Review of The Sims 2: Freetime Expansion Pack (PC)

Excellent Expansion

Advantages: Many new campaigns and new units
Disadvantages: Few bugs

...This expansion is totally worth buying if you liked the original Medieval 2 Total War game. It includes 4 new campaigns and more than 140 new units. The campaigns include The Americas conquest, Battle of Britannia, The Crusades, and the Teutonic campaign. Each of this campaigns have very in depth historical details on them, unlike the original game which is somewhat a more generic european campaign without many historical events happenng besides the black plague and the mongols invasion. If you liked the campaign mode in the original game your basically getting 4 new games with this expansion. As each of them is a standalone enjoyment that will have you hooked up for many days. Expansion packs are divided into bad ones, regular ones, good ones and must buy ones, Medieval 2 Kingdoms stands right between the Good and Must...

Working for the well known card shop

Advantages: nice staff, not complicated work
Disadvantages: not the best paid job!

...I used to work at Clinton cards years ago when I was younger - in fact it was my first job! The shop may have changed slightly since then on how it's run but judging by the other reviews, it hasn't changed much! I was employed by Clinton cards for just under 3 years and during this time I did do quite a bit of training. I'll start from the beginning and cover as much as I can! Applying and the interview: I saw the ad placed in the window that they needed staff for the busy Christmas period on a temporary basis - this was just what I was looking for as at the time I was just going into college and needed a weekend job. I asked in the store for an application and the girl behind the counter was really nice and advised me that once I completed the form they would probably be in touch within a day or two. I actually completed...

Another great expansion pack

Advantages: zombies! new life stage and items, new interactions
Disadvantages: none

...Although I don't own this expansion pack for my sims 2 game, I have played it a lot on my friends computer. This is a big expansion pack that adds a whole new neighbourhood, the college neighbourhood to the the game. On the sims 2 deluxe there is an icon for this neighbourhood although it doesn't load unless you have this expansion pack. The main thing this pack allows sims to do is go to college - teenage sims can go to college where they become young adults, a new stage of life introduced to the game with this pack. This life stage only happens to sims going to college though, other sims just become adults. Once you send a teenager to college, you can go to the college neighbourhood to control them where they progress through 4 years of study. It's a good way to make sims from different families get to know each other as you can...
