Augustus a mustus!

Advantages: Best reality show in history
Disadvantages: where's the Roman blood-lust?

...No, this movie most certainly is not 'Gladiator', simply because it is more authentic. Augustus' portrays Rome's first emperor (yes, first, for anyone who thinks, like i once did, that Julius Caesar was) according to the wealth of evidence supplied by various ancient authors. This is the closest i have yet seen Augustus portrayed, and it was made extra special by the fantastic acting abilities of Peter O'Toole. The story goes from the young Octavian's life, to the trials and tribulations he met when he became Augustus, to his fight to win over the people of Rome, all the while battling it out with the senate, traitorous family members and former allies who were meant to be friends, not helped by his daughter's rebellious streak, which posed a bit of a threat (to put it mildly) to his political position, especially when the imperial...

The mighty fort shopping park

Advantages: A great selection of shops, free parking
Disadvantages: Doesn't have any designer stores

...In the past few years there has been so many of these "shopping centres" popping up all over the uk, having all the major high street shops all located in one place and all under one roof. Normally these places are placed out of town area's and in industrial estates. The Fort shopping centre is located in Castle Bromwich, Birmingham in the West Midlands How to get there ---------------------- Get on the A38 Tyburn Road or A452 Chester Road which can be found on either junction 5 or 6 of the M6. Follow the signs to the "Fort Shopping Park" and Star City. You can't miss it. In the centre there is a massive tower that lights up in the evening. Facilities -------------- Unlike most town based shopping centres, the Fort shopping park has free car parking which draws people to it rather than pay to park in Birmingham...

Pred Forte

Advantages: It really works
Disadvantages: Remembering to take them during the day

...and go straight to the nearest Eye Casualty Department, which happens to be at the RVI Hospital in Newcastle. I would recommend you do the same if these symptoms become apparent, and believe me the staff will not think you're wasting their time if you have got Iritis. Anyway, enough of my rambling. This review isn't about the condition as such, but more the prescription I am given (well it costs £6.40 a bottle) to treat it. ABOUT PRED FORTE Pred Forte, or Predisolone acetate to give it its pharmeceutical name, is a steroid (anti inflammatory drug). Coming in the form of milky white coloured eye drops, it is used for the short-term treatment of eye inflammation. It helps to reduce the irritation, burning, redness and swelling associated with eye inflammation. BEFORE USE Before prescribing Pred Forte a doctor should ask you...

Review of Pred Forte

Fort William Rocks !!!

Advantages: Breath-taking views, extremely friendly people
Disadvantages: None that I found...

...~~*~~ INTRODUCTION ~~*~~ Fort William - a delightful place to visit - before I went there 2 summers ago I assumed it was just a fort and not a whole new wonderful holiday experience! Hmm how wrong could I have been? The place where both Rob Roy and Braveheart were filmed, it's definitely a place to see if you believe in exploring the UK's finest places. I'm not an expert at writing travel reviews so please bear with me if this review isn't laid out exactly as you'd expect it to be. ~~*~~ WHERE AND WHAT IS IT? ~~*~~ Well as it's in the "United Kingdom Experience" I'm hoping everyone knows that it's here in the UK but it's right up there in the West Highlands of Scotland. As the crow flies (or car drives?) it's roughly 500 miles from my home in West London to Fort William, which equates to 8½ hours driving if you average...

Review of Fort William (Scotland)

~~~ | Worm's Fort, One amazing game | ~~~

Advantages: An amazing array of new weapons. Very good price!
Disadvantages: Hard to control. Takes forever for a game to finish. No more destructable environment. 3+ Rating :

...canary wasn't enough, what about a giant Fridge Launcher throwing clusters of what you would usually find in a fridge, on impact. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a 50 Stone Canary? No! It's a Super Hippo. For those who don't know what a Super Hippo consists of, it's a Hippo with a Massive rocket strapped to it's back, enough to scare even the new Trojan Donkey, that's if the Trojan Donkey ever strikes, which it does whenever it wants to, maybe this go, maybe next go, noone really knows. With the weapons out of the way, what is the game really about? The general idea is to build your Fort. Each worm has a Go of 1minute and each of the worms in their 1 minute go has the chance to build one building and fire one weapon. Building has to be done first. From a Main building you can build a Tower, Keep, Castle and then a Citadel. These are the 4...

A ruin near Fort William

Advantages: tranquil spot
Disadvantages: none

...We stayed on the west coast of Scotland for our holidays and had to go into the nearest big town Fort William. After spending the morning there we headed out along the A 82 to wards Inverness After only about a mile there is a small sign and a turn to Inverlochy castle. A map can be found at. http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=212500&y=775500&z=3&sv=212500,77550 0&st=4&ar=N&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf. The castle is on the edge of the town in a semi industrial area. After we too the turn we note a car park in front of us we decide not to take it, but turned right over a wooden bridge where we found free parking in another car park. The castle was situated between the two. It seems quite tranquil around the immediate castle are We had taken a packed lunch with us to eat at the castle so we strolled to the castle...

The Fort Shopping Centre

Advantages: Good shops good variety good quality,
Disadvantages: Not many cheap shops

...There are a number of great shops at the Fort Shopping Park and that's why I decided to write this review. {EDIT: This one is in Birmingham Erdington not far from spaghetti junction} First of all lets look at the locality. The Fort is a relatively easy place to get to if your in the car but the public transport routes are poor. There used to be a bus service (the number 11) which dropped you right outside the fort but then this got re-routed. There are no train stations near by so unless you live on the 68 bus route then it will have to be a car to get you there im affraid. The plus side is that there is free parking on two levels and even at christmas and peak times you can find somewhere to park. Clothes Shops There are a vast amount of clothes shops at the fort especially for women Topshop River Island BHS Next New...

Review of The Fort

The magic of Shahjahanabad - Red Fort 2007 Update

Advantages: Historic example of Moghul architecture
Disadvantages: Rarely included in standard tours

...IF YOU HAVE READ THIS BEFORE AND JUST WANT THE UPDATE, SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM SECTION FOR THE REPORT ON THE SOUND AND LIGHT SHOW. THANKS Shahjahanabad ************** In the middle of the 17th Century, the Moghal Emperor Shahjahan established a new city on the ruins of the previous settlements in the place that today is Delhi and his new city became known as Shahjahanabad - or the city of Shahjahan. Today Shahjahanabad forms the area of the city more commonly referred to as 'Old Delhi' or 'Purani Dilli' in the local lingo. Lal Quila (the Red Fort) is one of Shahjahanabad's best preserved monuments. 'Shahjahan?' you might be saying to yourself, 'Now where have I heard that name before?' Shahjahan was the Emperor whose love for his wife Mumtaz and distress at her early death led to the building of the Taj Mahal - much...

Fort Victoria Country Park

Advantages: Fun filled day for all the family, both enjoyable and educational
Disadvantages: Could be costly...each attraction individually priced

...At present I'm living in Southampton as I have done most of my life so it's no surprise when I say Fort Victoria Country Park is one of my favourite spots on the Isle of Wight. Infact I make it a regular port of call whenever I'm over there. It doesn't take too long via Wight link ferry and is one of the most interesting, historic, relaxing and educational sites I have ever come across. Fort Victoria was built in the 1850's just west of Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight with the purpose of protecting the Solent against any unwanted incoming invasions. The fort was previously a single tier battery with defensible barracks which was later used as a submarine mining centre and for military training purposes. In 1969 the larger barrack block was demolished leaving only what is left today. Although the fort is steeped in history it also...

Review of Fort Victoria, Isle of Wight

Visit Space and Under the Sea at Fort Victoria

Advantages: A variety of attractions, something for all
Disadvantages: Individual entrance prices to each attraction soon build up

...Fort Victoria is one of those places that makes a great day out. It is, like most of the places I've been reviewing lately, on the Isle of Wight, and I have visited several times over the years. The most recent visit was 2005, however I think I can remember enough to be able to write this review! **About Fort Victoria & Location** Fort Victoria Country Park, to give it its proper name, is located on the western side of the Isle of Wight, in Yarmouth. It's located right at the point where the Island is closest to the mainland, and if you stand out near the sea at the back of Fort Victoria, you can look across the Solent to Hurst Castle, and it looks incredibly close. The actual Fort was built in the 1850s, and was a single tier battery. It was later used as a submarine mining centre, and a training area for the military...
