A day at Dunn's

Advantages: Fun and relaxing
Disadvantages: Small children are not able to climb the falls

...Dunn's river falls is one of my most favourite hot spot in Jamaica if I want a combination of fun and relaxation I can count on this location any time. THE LOCATION Dunns River falls is situated in one of Jamaica well know tourist area called OCHO RIOS, or just plain "OCHI" and "The North Coast" as we Jamaicans would referred to it, Ocho Rios is a nice place with a mixture of Tourism and Local life. The name Ocho Rios is Spanish meaning "eight rivers". It is known for its Beautiful tropical clustered trees that forms a foliage, shopping - where you can get all sort souvenirs to remind you of your trip, dining - there are numerous amount of restaurants in that area, along with the beautiful golden sandy beaches and an array of other activities.

Quality Food at the Griffin Inn

Advantages: Good family friendly pub with a great atmosphere and great food.
Disadvantages: None

...I learnt of this pub through a conversation with my hairdresser. At the time I had mentioned that I was going for a meal at Griffhouse that evening and she asked if it was ?the one near the roundabout or the little pub further down the road?. News to me because at the time I only knew the Griffhouse (which is a beefeater establishment). So it wasn?t until a couple of weeks later that my partner and I were out and about looking for somewhere new to have a bite to eat, that I remembered our conversation and so we went in search of the Griffin Inn. Fortunately we didn?t have to go too far as it was literally a 5min drive down the road from the Griffhouse. The Griffin Inn is a lovely little inn (well not so little when you get inside) located on the Coventry Road in Nuneaton. As far as pubs/inns go it?s a lovely looking pub very...

Dunnes Stores Clothes, really?

Advantages: Nice clothes relatively cheap
Disadvantages: Fashion mood swings

..." You buy your best clothes in Dunnes Stores up yours. " Well, thats no longer my opinion. Dunnes Stores is one of those traditional, cheap department stores. I remember it when it was a bog standard supermarket, however in my town they now specialise in clothes and other household utilities. It is December, and feeling a little cold and unenthusiastic about Christmas, I popped into Dunnes Stores to see if I could pick up a bargain. TK Maxx is ten miles away and everybody wheres they latest stripey jumper from Tesco, so I needed something cheap but different. Dunnes Stores didn't disappoint! I had once before looked in Dunnes and was taken aback by the shleves upon shelves of mens clothing that was simply for chavs, spides, scallies, whatever you want to call them. Pink and yellow, all that. This time however Dunnes had...

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...

I Giffin to Griffin Temptation

Advantages: Great choice, great value
Disadvantages: Couldn't eat that much every day

...the week for her birthday but had gone down with something nasty and called in sick. She's our time-limiting factor as she always needs to be back to take over her switchboard duties so we were all ready at 11.45 prompt to go to the Griffin knowing we needed to be back for 1 pm. We work within spitting distance of Manchester Airport. Head in one direction and you'd better raid your piggy bank if you want to dine with the Merry Wives of Wilmslow. Head in another direction towards Wythenshawe and you might want to count your hubcaps before and after your meal. So we generally head towards Heald Green and to our favourite pub which is called the Griffin. The Griffin sits on the corner of two roads - Finney Lane and Wilmslow Road. If you find yourself heading for the big John Lewis and Sainsbury's at Cheadle and can't face paying...

Griffin Earthumps - only a small improvement

Advantages: Comfortable, good bass, detailed high end
Disadvantages: Rubberized cheap feel

...When you buy an iPod, whether it is a full size version, Nano, or perhaps the miniature sized Shuffle, more often than not you crack open the packaging, load it with music and listen with the supplied headphones. This is all well and good, but believe me, things can sound better. It is possible to invest from around £10 upwards for a replacement set of headphones. Here we take a look at the lower end of the market in terms of price, with Griffin Technology's EarThumps. The EarThumps, which weigh in at just 12 grammes, are available in a black or white finish. The cable is 120cm long, which is more than enough. They also come supplied with three different size ear inserts, to ensure a comfortable fit. The ear inserts feel more rubberised, rather than the gel appearance of more expensive brands, though I am sure the material used is very...

Fun at Dunn's

Advantages: fun,good value,good climb
Disadvantages: not recommended for younger children/people unable to climb

...This is definately one not to be missed whilst in Jamaica. We really enjoyed the catamaran cruise that "cool runnings" provided to this destination. On the way out, you could jump off the boat and snorkel on the reef, then once you arrived at Dunn's river falls it was time to climb! At first I thought that I would stand and watch, but I really wanted to try the climb and found that I managed pretty easily when following my own rules. You are asked to hold hands with the person in front and the person behind you, however at certain times I found that I needed both hands to climb the rocks (especially where it can get a bit slippery). It is, however, a good idea to stay near those in front of you and behind you, as you are able to help each other out quite a lot and find different ways across the rocks. The experienced tour...

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...

Country DUNN well

Advantages: another quality release from this duo
Disadvantages: unknown in uk due to the country label

...This, the fifth album by the country duo of Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn, is superior to their last release in many ways. They seem a lot more settled in the various styles they attempt. The opening track for example, "How Long Gone", is in the contemporary style we associate with the likes of Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw, but where as on the last album (Borderline) this style was the weak link this is a good tune, with a strong melody and quietly rocking riff. The vocals are great, very much settled in their own style. Other outstanding tracks on the album are I Can't Get Over You This falls somewhere between contemporary and ballad and doesn't suffer for it. It has a great melody and the vocals really carry the majority of the tune along. Its almost a cry for help, and the chorus really digs into that feeling. If You...

Griffin iTrip FM Transmitter

Advantages: Excellent Signal, very reliable, compact, easy to use
Disadvantages: None

...Excellent quality piece of kit, small and compact, yet pushes out a strong signal that drowns out any interference on your car radio when you play your tunes through it either from ipod or mp3 player. No batteries required, plugs straight into your cigarette lighter socket. Very durable and far superior to other fm transmitters that i bought and returned to the store, eg the Belkin keep switching itself off if the volume on your mp3 or ipod is too low and it requires batteries that dont last long, whereas the Griffin FM transmitter plays all the time whatever the volume on your ipod or mp3 player. Very easy to set up and use and good value for money as they are now available as Asdas for around £20. I am well impressed with mine and have used it trouble free for over 2 years now....
