A much brighter Bush than George Dubya !

Advantages: Good picture quality
Disadvantages: Sticky On/Off button

...It is with great sadness that I announce the death of our old portable television. For many a year she resided on the chest of drawers in the bedroom giving much enjoyment and pleasure to all those who watched her. Her passing away in early April, was a day of much sadness for all of five minutes, until Mrs scampi declared "The TV in the bedroom is knackered, where's the Argos catalogue ?". So after trolling through the consumer bible (aka the Argos catalogue) we decided on a replacement, the Bush 1478T 14" colour TV. Aren't we heartless ? the deceased hadn't even been taken to the tip and we'd already decided on a replacement. So replacement decided upon, I went on-line to check if our local branch of Argos had it in stock so as not to waste a journey. Now here's a little tip if you're a member of Mutual Points, log onto their...

Review of Bush 1478T 14 inch Portable Colour Television

Why Bother To Beat About The Bush?

Advantages: You get to tell the interest-conflicted U.N. and the impossibly corrupt Kofi Annan to piss-off
Disadvantages: Nobody but Tony laughs at your Saddam Hussein jokes with you

...and has attempted to make true: "Everybody in the world hates George W. Bush." The media did not expect the silent, media-unrepresented majority of Americans to rear its ugly head and show the world that it shouldn't believe everything it reads and views; particularly when it comes to Republican politicians. Based on the level of acrimony and the anti-Bush/anti-American sentiment I've witnessed, both generally and on this site, I realize it would be folly for me to attempt to sell you on the idea that Dubya isn't exactly the living embodiment of evil that the media has taken every opportunity to assure you he is. As an attorney, I've discovered while interacting with juries how frighteningly easy false impressions form and how excruciatingly hard it is to divest jury members of these irrational misperceptions using mere actual facts...

Review of Thoughts on US Presidents - George W. Bush

Bush Is Back

Advantages: Good leader, reacts to situations quickly, wont take no for an answer
Disadvantages: A little slow, can't speak in public

...Well, well George W. Bush, is there a more talked about human being living on this planet, I severely doubt it, so why all the attention? Two invasions on ?third world? countries? Head of the United States during the biggest threat it?s faced from outside forces and a nation in economical decline? Or is this the work of the media? Before I proceed, as I tend to do I want to remind everybody that this is only an opinion, if you disagree please feel free to leave a message. Anyway I'm an honest person so I need to admit something from the very beginning, I am a George W Bush supporter. I'm not American I'm not blinded by the headlights, as most would suggest, I just believe there are things at work in this world far worse than that poor man. Bush is by no means perfect, don?t get me wrong I have seen the unemployment rates...

Review of Bushwhacked: Life in George W. Bush - Molly Ivins, Lou Dubose

George W. Bush

Advantages: Amusing and will make you smile
Disadvantages: They could be a little bit too close to the truth

...A couple of funnies I found about the about president, hope you like them. Number 1 Early this morning a devastating fire destroyed the personal library of President George W Bush. Tragically, both books were lost in the conflagration. Mrs Bush told members of the press that due to his hectic schedule, Mr Bush had not even had time to colour in the second one. Number 2 President George W Bush is visiting an elementary school today and he visits one of the classes (4th grade). They are in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word, "tragedy." So Bush asks the class for an example of a "tragedy." One little boy stands up and offers, "If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street...

George's Marvellous Medicine

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...?George?s Marvellous Medicine? was the first of Roald Dahl?s stories which we read to our eldest son. It?s the story of a little boy who has a real stinker of a grandmother. She?s rude and scary and bosses him around all the time. One day George?s mum and dad have both gone out, leaving him alone with his Grandma. George has had enough of Grandma bullying him and so decides to cure her of her cantankerous behaviour with a special potion, which he?ll give her instead of her usual medicine. He finds an enormous saucepan in the kitchen and lugs it all around the house, essentially putting in a bit of everything he finds [lipsticks and canary seed included!]. He even makes sure he adds some brown paint so that it is the same colour as Grandma?s real medicine! He then boils it up to make sure that everything?s nicely mixed together before...

Review of George's Marvellous Medicine - Roald Dahl

George and the dragon

Advantages: Great re take on a well known tale
Disadvantages: None

...George and the Dragon An amusing spin off from the story of George and the Dragon as we know it?ie knight with sword killing a dragon. This book, however does indeed have a scary dragon, but the hero, far from being a knight in shining armour, is a mouse called George. ~~Story and Illustrations~~ The scene is set as we enter a landscape of high and rocky mountains and move into a "deep, deep valley in a dark dark cave"" (ooh!! The suspense). In this dark cave, lives a mighty dragon. Yes, he is big and very red. So big, in fact, that he takes up a whole double page spread, and there he stands amongst the rubble, blowing smoke from his nostrils. This mighty dragon can fly higher than the clouds and faster than the birds. He can burn down forests and smash castle walls and with a brush of his wing, he can foil and destroy whole...

Review of George and The Dragon - Chris Wormell

Large George Foreman grill and griddle for healthier food

Advantages: quick, healthy food
Disadvantages: weak instruction guide

...I bought this George Foreman 6 person indoor grill about two months ago. I would rather say it is for 4 persons. It is quite big when you have to bring it home or you have to find place for it, but is perfect size when you grill on it. First impressions I saw it on Internet on www.argos.co.uk site, it was on offer for 44.99 pounds. I reserved it and went to pick it up. It was in a huge box. When I arrived home with it I opened and found that the grill is really big. I had to put some household appliances away to have enough place for it. There were the grill, a drip tray and two spatulas in the box. The grill was in one piece there was no need for assemble anything. Features Non stick grill and griddle: the vegetables need a little oil because otherwise they stick to the griddle. So before I spice them, I pour a little oil on them...

George's Medicine Making Morning

Advantages: Fun for small children
Disadvantages: Lacked a certain sparkle that other Dahl books have

...An extract for George?s Marvellous Medicine was in a Roald Dahl Anthology that I was privileged to own when I was younger and was one of the things within it that I really liked reading. Because of this I was quite pleased when I discovered that my brother had the book in his Roald Dahl box set. The book is like most of Roald Dahl?s offerings rather simple and easy to read. The story is rather vibrant and entertaining and the covers of the book can merely contain the colourful characters bursting to get out. The book itself was first published in 1981 and is not too long a read, coming in at 104 pages long in my copy, which is a Puffin edition, published in 2001. Despite saying that this book is 104 pages in length, not all of these pages contain writing and some contain only a minimal amount, as the story is accompanied by some...

Review of George's Marvellous Medicine - Roald Dahl

George Michael - Twenty Five - A Masterpiece!!

Advantages: Great songs, lots of choice, two albums.
Disadvantages: Doesn't include one of my favourite ever songs.

...I received this as a present Christmas 2008 from my fiance and was really surprised with his choice of gift as although he knew I like George Michael I hadn't mentioned it or dropped any hints for it so was very pleasantly surprised. Anyway, on with the review, I have tried to provide background history, chart information, my personal review of each of the songs and a rating out of 5. This might mean that the review is a lot longer than my normal 'concise' reviews so thanks in advance for reading, hopefully rating and most of all for bearing with me! There are two versions of this album, a two disc and a three disc, my review is based on the two disc edition. George Michael was born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou on June 25, 1963 in East Finchley, North London. He first became famous in the U.K by teaming up with Andrew Ridgeley in...
