Five Score...? More like Ten! ^-^

Advantages: Great vocals, addictive riffs, consistency amazing...
Disadvantages: Very little! A couple of repetitive songs...

... Five Score? ~ More like 10! The best of the Relient K albums in my opinion, Five Score gives an explosive and energetic dose of our beloved Relient K, with addictive riffs, fabulous vocals and an overall truly uplifting sound, not that we should expect anything less. Those who know Relient K, I'm sure will be familiar with the ingenious way in which they ingrain take-home messages seamlessly into catchy songs. You will be pleased to know that there is no disappointment in this field in Five Score. "Forgiven" and "Must Have Done Something Right" display themselves as having come of the cleverest lyrics yet, so if Matt's crystal clear pronunciation still doesn't cut it, grab your lyrics booklet and give it a read! One of the most impressive things about the album is its consistency. For me, the core of the album doesn't lie...

Review of Five Score And Seven Years Ago - Relient K

Starter for ten

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: None

...Starter for ten was a DVD that my Wife bought and it had been sat on our shelf whilst we waited for our new DVD player to arrive, as we couldn't get any of our DVD's to play at all on our old one. I have to admit I wasn't that bothered if I saw it or not and was actually slightly grateful that I was managing to hold off on this one for a while! However, as soon as the new DVD player arrived my Wife insisted that we watch this as she has been wanting to for quite some time - since it was on in the cinema in fact but she hadn't managed to go and see it. She was so desperate to see it because she has the book and really wanted to see the film! So one evening we sat down to watch it with me not expecting much but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and overall glad that I had actually ended up watching this film!! The story...

A Top FIVE - Not A Top Ten

Advantages: See text of opinion
Disadvantages: See text of opinion

...~ ~ As this is opinion number 300 that I’ve written here at Ciao, I thought I would allow myself a little self indulgence. This is the very first time I’ve written in one of these “Top 10” categories, (believe it or not) simply because I find it very difficult to whittle down any lists I make to only ten contenders. If I were to write about my Top Ten songs of all time, I’d probably still be racking my brain at this time next year in order to come to a final decision. So instead I’m going to tell you about five songs that have been an inspiration to me in my life, and which never fail to lift my flagging spirit any time I am feeling depressed or fed up with my lot. Yes, you read that correctly, by the way. I’m only going to give you five of my “best”, not because I’m too...

Review of Top 10 Songs of All Time

My Top ten

Advantages: good things to look at
Disadvantages: none so far

...I love to browse around the net and when I find a good site I pop it into my favorites, where it is saved for easy access to look at again and again and here are my top ten websites just for you. 1. www.virtualroses.co.uk Have you every forgotten that it's someone's birthday and need a little time to go out and get them a present? I have done a few times and used this site, where you can send a virtual rose free of charge. I know it's not the real thing but it can be used to make someone smile, especially on birthdays and valentines day. They can be sent 24 hours a day and can be anonymous if you fancy someone but don't want to say. There are some lovely choices of roses to choose from, click on the rose of your choice, you can click on the picture of it to enlarge it and get a better look at the rose, then click the next...

Review of Top Ten Websites

Ten of my best on the Net

Advantages: A bit of variety
Disadvantages: Won't appeal to everyone

...TOP TEN WEBSITES This might not actually be the ten websites that I visit most frequently, but alongside the BBC, Amazon, Dooyoo and Ciao I have tried to include two or three lesser known websites that might be of interest to certain people. Some a little arty that won't appeal to everyone, and one that is basically for students of English. Apologies for quite a long review, but you can just pick and choose the sites you would like to read about. JACQUIE LAWSON E-CARDS http://www.jacquielawson.com/ I originally found out about this website through a review on Ciao a couple of years ago. I do occasionally send e-cards but had been lamenting the quality of the ones that were available free of charge. The Jacquie Lawson website currently charges £6.25 for one year's membership or £9.50 for two years, and during the course of your...

Five times Five

Advantages: No matter how much I sneeze at the computer you cant catch it
Disadvantages: snot rags

...with a cold. Aww the poor thing. A whole week of pampering and much scoffing of vitamin c tablets ensued. I am the reincarnation of Florence Nightingale even to go as far as buying tacky issues of mens magazines with Abi Titmuss blazened across the front. Needless to say he made a quick recovery and an ever quicker gettaway when my immune system decided to go on holiday. As Im ill and bored Ive devised a Top Ten which has been sliced in half , The top five worse things about having a cold and the Top five best things about having a cold. THE TOP FIVE WORST THINGS ABOUT HAVING A COLD. 1. Red Noses- Whether I use Andrex, Balm Tissues or sandpaper my nose resembles an out of season reindeer. My nose is so sore and red Im thinking of having a nose job to relieve the pain and swelling. 2.Snot Rags- Waste paper baskets full to the brim...

Review of Top Ten Top Tens

MRS LARGE - WILL SHE GET HER FIVE MINUTES PEACE?

Advantages: BEAUTIFUL BOOK, WITH LASTING APPEAL.
Disadvantages: THERE IS NO GUARANTEE YOU WILL GET YOUR FIVE MINUTES PEACE TOO!!

...FIVE MINUTES PEACE - JILL MURPHY I am going to review this children's book about The Large Family. A very large family, as in elephants. Not your grey true to life safari type elephants, but cute and cuddly elephants. I have chosen this book because it is great for adults; forget the kids for a minute, if you have to read the same story night after night, it would be nice if it had something in it for you. ***WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?*** Well Jill Murphy (brilliant children's author) has written a series of books about The Large Family and this one centres on mum and her quest to get five minutes' peace to herself. This is a book that most adults will identify with, and perhaps in reading it with their children, might get this message across subtly to their children. Or not. I tried it for years and didn't get anywhere; a journey to...

Review of Five Minutes Peace - Jill Murphy

My personal top ten movies...

Advantages: movies which make me think, dream, laugh or cry
Disadvantages: I can only list ten!

...My Top Ten Movies Having just read Clownfoot?s review about his top ten movies (although he cheated and wrote about 11 tsk tsk) has spurred me to compile a list of my own top ten. Not that this has been an easy task. There are so many movies that have entertained me, touched me in some way, or plain just made me sit up and think. Therefore my list is pretty eclectic, and there are some on there that even I didn?t think would make it to my favourites, but these are the ones which I can watch over and over and find something new each time. My list is by no means final, just as with music, my tastes change depending upon the mood I?m in and it?s the same with movies, what could be my favourite film today, could change tomorrow. But generally speaking the ten I have included here are the ones which usually remain in my thoughts...

Review of Top Ten Films Of All Time

Ocean's Eleven five out of ten

Advantages: Strong cast, good story
Disadvantages: Poor attention to detail

...would make me a spoilsport, it does have a bit of a false ending which had about half of the audience reaching for their coats. I always judge a film on whether I would watch it again, at the cinema, NO, but maybe on video, for me, that’s about a five out of ten....

Review of Ocean's Eleven (DVD)

Five get into trouble - but I had no trouble reading this .

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...When I was a kid, I adored Enid Blyton books. By far my favourites were the books based around boarding school life, or around pure fantasy, but I loved the Famous Five books too . This is the eigth book in a 21 book series, but don't worry if you haven't read any of the others, the book is perfectly self sufficient. The Famous Five have returned from boarding school for the easter holidays, but due to some confusion, realise their aunt and uncle have to go away, and that there will be no-one about to look after them, as the families cook is also away recovering from an illness. So, off they pop on a camping adventure, cycling through the coutryside , buying food from shops and pitching their tents where ever they feel like resting their weary heads at night. Nowadays it would be unheard of for kids to go off on their own unsupervised...
