Davy Crockett ranch - Disney

Advantages: great pool, good cabins and great deals available
Disadvantages: 15 minute drive from main parks

...I went to Disneyland last week with my family and stayed there for 3 nights at the Davy Crockett Ranch. I have now visited Disneyland Paris 6 times and have also been to Disney world in Orlando as well last year. However I have stayed at the Disney hotel and a few of the others but I have to say that Davy Crockett ranch has to be one of the best ones there and certainly my favourite as it has so many great features and offers much more as well as being more free. The Accommodation: When you stay there you will be put in a small wooden cabin in a particular area which are all named such as Tomahawk or Bobcat. Each small 'camp' includes about 50 to 100 cabins all with separate parking spaces and outdoor bins. Inside you have a choice of either a one or two bedroom hut and all of them can sleep up to 6 people, with a double bed...

Review of Disney's Davy Crockett Ranch

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

My Jazzy 'Birth Of Cool' by Miles Davies Remastered.

Advantages: Excellent Jazz Album.
Disadvantages: None!

...Darn that dream, I dream each night. You say you love me and hold me tight. But when I awake and you are out of sight. Oh, darn that dream. Reasons For Purchasing I was first introduced to this type of Jazz music by My Grandmother and Grandfather who loved listening to Miles Davis and of course their choice of music rubbed off on my own Mother, who I remember as a child, played the Miles Davis Quintet quite a lot also. I took this CD from my Grandmothers collection after she died three years ago and I am glad I did, as now I have got the chance to write about this CD. This is quite an interesting album I have to say, it features twelve excellent jazz songs from Miles Davis. I listen to this CD when I am relaxed, feeling low or even in a party mood, as this is a great album for every occasion. This album seems to have...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Sony DAV-IS 10

Advantages: quality, crisp sound, great looks, can easily hide away
Disadvantages: power output is quite low, needs more mid range

...I bought the sony satelite system about 8 months ago. I did have a sony 5.1 system before but decided to change it as i had just bought a new plasma and wanted a surround system to compliment the looks of the plasma mainly (my tv's piano black as is the dav subwoofer). I knew the quality of the dav-is 10 was there but when i tested it i thought the power output was quite low but at the price it was the best option for the subtle, cosmetically smart looking surround that i was after. This system is not a powerful, in your face surround sound. It's a quality sounding, subtle looking crisp system - less powerful than my previous sony.. It looks brilliant with the tiny satelite speakers which really do hide in your room - especially with the skinny sony stands you can buy (70 pounds for the pair - well worth it). The subwoofer...

Review of Sony DAV-IS 10

Steve Davies rules the Eighties

Advantages: Pulled snooker from pub sport to top television
Disadvantages: Cannot compete with the influx of new talent any more

...Steve Davies - 6 times world champion and absolute snooker king of the 80s! He can't play anymore, but boy can he commentate! I used to enjoy watching Davies in the 80s when I was a young lad, my father being a keen watcher of snooker. There is no doubt that Davies was the king of modern snooker then, when the sport was just becoming accepted as a television sport. Lots of women apparently used to find him extremely attractive - with his tall thin demeanour, and the way he used to slide his cue back and forth between the dimple in his chin. Whatever turns them on! The attraction of Davies was clearly that he was the young kid on the block in the 80s, and he took on what was largely a group of older established men who played slowly and drank lots of beer. That wasn't for Steve, he wanted to stay sober, sipping water...

Review of Steve Davis

Davis Hotel Bangkok

Advantages: Amazing rooms with amazing decor, Quiet area, Rooftop Pool, Gym, Free shuttle to skytrain stop
Disadvantages: None

...My partner and I stayed at the Davis Bangkok last year whilst on our gap year, and it was the most memorable hotel that we visited. Slightly out of town, and reasonably dear (£45 pere night) located in the quieter Sukhumvit area, we felt that it was a good base to rest in before entering the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, via the skytrain. Our room was in the annex that is a one minute walk from the main hotel, this section being more recently built. The hotel prides iself on being a 'boutique' hotel with ultimate care taken over interior design, which showed throughout. The room was decorated in a contemporary style and though the view wasn't spectacular, the room made up for it. The bathroom was large and had marble floors, with a bath and seperate shower. There was a large mirror and the lighting was well placed. A nice featuree...

Bette Davis- Screen Legend

Advantages: All About Eve is an absolute classic of the era
Disadvantages: A strange mismatched boxed set im my opinion

...So here we find a strange set of three films in the 'classic box set' series by Fox. The name Fox is the only thing these films have to tie them together, other that the awe-inspiring work of Bette Davis- on of cinemas true greats. The first film is a true gem, the pinnacle of the career of Bette Davis which spanned some 60 years. Having left Warner Brothers in late 1949 some thought the career of Davis to be over, but then Claudette Colbert injured her spine and Davis was offered the role of Margo Channing in 'All About Eve'. It was that change of events that led to, what I believe, is one of the greatest female performances in a movie to date. Davis plays Margo- an aging, forty something actress, who has success, but also has insecurities. She has a younger 'thirty something' boyfriend Bill Sampson (Gary Merrill), a loyal friend...

Learn to Drive - study aid book by Robert davies

Advantages: colourful all in 1 book that you can carry on the go
Disadvantages: can be a bit repetative in parts

...Cost: £7.99 Place of Purchase: Waterstones Format: Paperback Publication: 2003 Cover: A colourful and laminated cover of a sporty style car with learner driver plates adorns this just smaller than A5 paperback book by robert davies. The spine is about an inch and a half thick composing over 320 pages of stuff to help you pass your driving test. It is a handbook I used over a year ago to pass my test. I know I left it a bit late to learn how to drive, but alas as a child and teen I was spoilt with parents who taxied me around whenever I needed. But now having children myself I realised it was my turn to do some chavuering and had to get my licence. This book holds inside all the information needed to pass the UK driving test. It contains information not only for passing the theory test - its a written examination where you...

Review of Learn to Drive - Robert Davies

It's the closest thing to having Russell T Davies in your house.

Advantages: Really honest and insightful
Disadvantages: None

...Originally posted on dooyoo. Before buying this I read the write ups and they all said something like "Any aspiring writer should read this book" or "Any Who fan should read this book" And yes, they should, but The Writers Tale is just as relevent for anyone who has ever wondered what goes on in TV, or is simply interested in the way other people think. This is one of those all too rare books where you get true insight into not just a person but a whole industry, and is probably the most honest book I have ever read being as it is just a collection of emails sent between Ben Cook and Russell T Davies. Davies pulls no punches when talking about the processes of writing, admitting that there is no right way to write, and expressing his dislike of those who say that there is. It is fascinating to see TV royalty struggle with the same...
