Guests come to the Town

Advantages: Some good writing in parts
Disadvantages: Badly drawn characters, rather unbelievable

... GUESTS (AKA THE TOWN) By BENTLEY LITTLE This book is known as 'Guests' in the UK and 'The Town' in the USA It is exactly the same book, just with a different name. THE AUTHOR Have you come across Bentley Little yet? Little is a horror writer, very much in the genre of Stephen King (who is, in fact, a fan of Little's work), he puts his love of this genre down to the fact that he was born just one month after his mother went to watch 'Psycho'! His works are generally set in the southwestern United States- particularly Arizona. His horror is raw and frequently disturbing in his pursuit of true horror, there are no holds barred. STORY Welcome to McGuane, Arizona. Population: 200...199...198...197... 'Guests' opens with Gregory Tomasov winning the California...

Fathers Guest House, great place in the Cameron Highlands

Advantages: Location, views, surroundings
Disadvantages: Disappointing dorm room

...Fathers Guest house has the perfect location on a small hill overlooking the tiny town of Tanah Rata in the Cameron highlands. Situated outside the town, but only a 3 minute walk into it, it has fantastic views and is tranquil but still has access to any activities the town has to offer. If you call the owners in advance letting them known when you will arrive then they will collect you from the town and save the walk up the hill with heavy bags. They also tend to be one of the touts who wander the bus drop off area and so if you arrive by bus then there is almost always someone there who you can ask to get a lift up the hill. Driving up towards the guesthouse the first thing that is obvious is that this is a beautiful area. The views from the top go right across the town and amongst the rolling hills of the area. The Cameron highlands...

My worst dinner guests and why...

Advantages: erm.............?
Disadvantages: everything

...This is a list of my 10 worst dinner guests and why. Oh and by the way, I know that technically there are more than ten, but tough!!!! So in no particular order??? 1. David and Victoria Beckham. Am I the only one who doesn?t get it when it comes to these two? She?s a really bad singer who loves herself a bit too much, and will bitch about anyone in spitting distance, and he is an overrated footballer, who for some unknown reason women find attractive. WHY? He?s minging (for want of a better word), and he dresses like a girl, and don?t get me started on his hair. 2. Jodie Marsh Every time you open the paper there she is falling out of some club or bitching about Jordan. Well it?s not like I?m Jordan?s biggest fan, but if it was a choice between the two Jordan would win every time. Jodie Marsh is just a horrible little nobody...

South Hampton Guest House - ok

Advantages: Reasonably Priced
Disadvantages: Very Small Rooms

...My partner and I stayed at the South Hampton Guest House for a weekend in early 2006. We choose the property because it was reasonably close to the centre of Cambridge Township (about 15-20 minutes walk) and also for it's price. We paid £45/night for the two of us including breakfast. The general décor was nothing to marvel about, a bit pokey and very old fashioned. However, keeping in mind what we paid our stay was reasonable. The rooms (I think there were 4 or 5 in total) were on the small side. Ours was fitted with a double bed, a single chair, one bedside table, a small wardrobe with several drawers attached and a tv mounted on the wall. There was a little side tray containing tea, coffee milk and a few biscuits. There was very little room for much else and we had to store our 1 suitcase on top of the wardrobe. There was...

Beautiful Guest House - recommended

Advantages: Very close to city centre
Disadvantages: none

...The Anchor Guest House is situated in the city centre. From Dublin Airport, travel on the 747 (Easily caught from outside the airport exit, well signposted and regular) Stay on the bus until Dublin Bus Station, the Anchor Guest House is situated in Lower Gardiner Street which is just round the corner from the bus station. The Guest House is a town house with a new extension on the back. There are a few steps to go up and I have not seen a ramp. From the entrance hall, up about 10 stairs you walk through a sitting room to the extension which has a lift. The rooms are all well presented, clean and tidy with Television and en-suite bathroom with shower, toilet and sink. A tea tray will be put in the room for an extra small payment and will be filled up everyday. We have only stayed in twin rooms, but they will let them to...

An unexpected guest

Advantages: Superb story, great dramatisation
Disadvantages: Just that it ends

...The Birlings, a wealthy family, are sitting down to dinner to celebrate the engagement of Sheila to Gerald Croft. Brother Eric is getting slowly plastered across the table, while Mr and Mrs Birling try and ignore the fact that anything is wrong. Then a guest is announced - one Inspector Goole - who tells the Birlings that he has come to ask some questions about a girl, Eva Smith, who recently committed suicide. At first, the Birlings and Gerald Croft deny knowing her, but it slowly comes out that each of them did know her and each of them held some blame for her death, unbeknownst to the rest of the family. Will this knowledge change the Birlings' perceptions of a girl from a lower class? Or will they continue to refuse to take any blame? I have long wanted to watch this film, based on the play by J B Priestley, and was delighted when...

The 7th Guest - spooky but fun

Advantages: big, great puzzles
Disadvantages: shaky graphics

...The 7th Guest is an excellent adventure/horror/puzzle game for the PC. It is set in an old creepy mansion belonging to a deceased deranged toymaker. Gameplay involves working your way around the mansion, discovering rooms, clues and solving fiendish mind puzzles in order to eventually discover the secret of the old house. The navigation graphics are a bit juddery but the content and detail of the game is quite impressive. There are also a certain number of chances to have puzzles solved for you if you get completely stuck and can't continue any further. Watch out for the maze - if you don't find the map first you could be in there for a long long time....ha.........ha.........ha...............(ha)...............(ha)................((ha))................((ha)).............................. (Please rate this opinion before...

A Guest Appearance

Advantages: Very enjoyable. You will never forget it. Delightful.
Disadvantages: It is now a cartoon.

...Another walk down memory lane today with Mickie26. O.k. so are you all ready? Now I have your attention: Just sit back on your seats and I'll attempt to take you back in time. We are going back to a time which is before I was even thought of. It is the time of 1952. On a Saturday special children's TV show a very special guest was born. A very special puppet name Sooty who many were going to grow to love, enjoy and look to. Now I have a very special treat for you Ciaoer's. What? I hear you all say. Well... Ssssssh! Keep this between us, but I actually have a very special guest here tonight. He's actually a little shy at the moment. So if you all put your hands together and welcome him he might come out to say hello. O.k. are you ready? After 3! 1 2 3 CLAP Sooty: "Izzy wizzy let's get...

A cry in the dark!

Advantages: Good price, useful location, clean and comfortable
Disadvantages: Breakfast served only in room, poor breakfast, no lock/light working in bathroom

...we could stop off for a drink on the way from the train station. On the day of travel we received a phone call from the owner saying that they might be delayed and we were given the code for the door entry system and told where we could find the key to our room. How trusting! The Holmlea is situated in a quiet residential area just a ten minute walk from both the train station and the city centre. There are also pubs, restaurants and shops nearby if you don't want to go into town. For guests arriving by car there is limited on street permit parking. First impressions are good; the exterior is well looked after and though it is small the front garden is attractive. We were able to get inside without a problem and found our room on the top floor. The stairs are quite narrow and a few of the rooms are directly on the corridor, while...
