Advantages: Upgrade your old stereo into DAB, quality sound at a reasonable price.
Disadvantages: Yet another remote control

...I bought the Genus after researching into the best options for converting my existing sound system into a DAB radio, the Genus seemed a great solution both on price, size and the supposed easy set up. I ended up buying one from an Ebay retailer for the fraction of the retail price, it cost me just £15.00 for a new boxed Genus. Bargain! It was extremely easy to set up, easy to follow instructions, another plug and play item, the sort of technology I love. It sits neatly on the top of my stack system but there is enough cable to position it elsewhere away from your speakers. In the box you get a power cable and a small wire aerial like you get on a bedside clock radio, a pocket sized remote control and instruction manual. The set up is as simple as I was led to believe. I plugged it into the back on my stereo systems amplifier... Read review

...I've had the Millennium Edition for a couple of years now. I bought it because it was actually ten pounds cheaper than the Genus edition and I didn't have my own copy of the game, which I love. ~~~ Play ~~~ Playing the Millennium Edition is exactly the same as all other editions. You throw the dice, then choose which direction to move in according to what colour segment you will land on. When you correctly answer a question you get another go. If you land on the wedge segments at the bottom of the spokes you get a wedge of "cheese" or "pie" to put in your collector/playing piece. Once you have earned all six different wedges of "cheese/pie" you then have to move up the spokes of the wheel and land in the centre. When landing in the centre of the wheel your opponents nominate a category and ask you a question on that category, get... Read review

Advantages: Very Strange Stuff
Disadvantages: Too Long, but I am glad they did it

...One review once said that this album was either the work of genus or a complete folly, that man understands nothing. A folly is only something that a genus can do and every genus has their moments of folly. Back in 1980 following London Calling The Clash seemed to gain unlimited artistic freedom to do what they wanted, their management at the time just could not control them and did not want to release a triple album for the price of a double, in order to keep costs down The Clash went without royalties on this album, a laudable act on their part. The jury is out on this album is out a lot of people hate it and it does have some moments which should not have seen the light of day but it also shows surprising depth and brilliance. In all I think it is a fantastic album and am glad they released everything on it, but then I am a lover... Read review

Advantages: A member of the Borage family
Disadvantages: none really

...No one else has written a review on lithospermum on ciao so I thought I would. I know this plant and although I have none growing in my garden, I know a man who does. (It’s my dad.).I have checked a few details on line to refresh my memory and to be sure I did not tell you facts about these plants that were false. So here goes . The plant genus Lithospermum is a member of the borage family Boraginaceae. Other genuses that I know in the boraginceae family are forget-me-not (Myosotis) borage (Borago) and alkanet (Alkanna) there are several others but these are the ones I know of. If you look at these plants you can see they are related to lithospernum as they have similar physical features. There are about 50 species of plants in the genus lithospermum. The species of the genus lithospermum that you may recognize are I shall... Read review
