Hacking, Explosions and Halle Berry Naked

Advantages: Quick Paced, Good Stunts/Acting
Disadvantages: John Travolta, The Ending

...always one step behind. Acting Well, aside from Mr Travolta (who’s just a little too over the top for my tastes), Hugh Jackman is definitely the star. After appearing in the blockbuster ‘X-Men’, Hugh shows what a good actor he really is by not sounding totally confused by all the techno jargon, and having a believable relationship with his young daughter (played by Camryn Grimes). Halle Berry is very good, but doesn’t really get to develop her character enough (despite the character being the subject of a major plot twist) and no matter how much she got paid to bare her breasts (reportedly $350,000 each!) it is totally unnecessary to the plot and only seems to have been included for all the teenage lads in the audience (I wonder how many DVDs they’ll sell just because of that scene?!) . But my star...

Berry Good...

Advantages: Nice tasting Cardboard
Disadvantages: Not as nice as the Caramel ones..

...have to run a mile, please let it be with STYLE?. It even has the picture of the person putting rubbish in a bin as a woman? Opening the pack releases a small whiff of berry flavour; it is fresh scented kind of like the Berry drinks. Each snack a jack is slightly pink in colour, which I am guessing is an additive, since it does look like a normal snack a jack, which as had food colouring splattered upon it. Popping one into my mouth, I can taste all the berry flavouring. It isn?t overtly berry like, but does certainly have a pleasant berry taste. The flavour sits in your mouth while you are crunching jack, but fades upon swallowing, leaving a slight berry taste or, as another one left, a simple normal taste. Reading the flavours on the back, the Berry Juice that is added is Blackcurrant, Strawberry and Raspberry, and I can definitely...

BlackBerry Bold 9000 Review

Advantages: Look & feel; sound quality; fast Internet; range of features
Disadvantages: Camera not great; file transferring is quite confusing

...It was time for an upgrade from my old mobile phone to a new one, and I spent a whole month trying to decide which new phone to buy. I soon narrowed it down to a BlackBerry Bold 9000 and the Nokia E71 - both, I was told, are "fantastic phones", and after having a play with the BlackBerry Bold and Nokia E71 in a phone shop, I quickly knew BlackBerry Bold was for me, and I ordered it the very same day. BlackBerry's have been popular for a while now, and I was eager to know why. They are known for being the phone for business people; however, I don't think this phone should be restricted to that band of people alone. I will use mine for both business and personal use and so far it has worked well for both work and pleasure. Just in case you're curious, I bought my BlackBerry Bold 9000 from Vodafone. I have been with Vodafone...

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...

Halls Soothers

Advantages: Taste nice, soothe a throat
Disadvantages: No medicine

...It's that time of year again, winter!! and to start it off I have a cold so this morning at the station I bought my favourite pack of cough sweet, Halls Soothers. Each packet was £0.65 but this was a station and I know you can get them cheaper in places like Boots etc. Halls are quite an impressive company. According to their website they account for more than 50% of international cough drop sales and their Halls Soothers range is the UK's number 1 medicated confectionery product. Halls was actually started by two brothers, The Hall Brothers in 1893 and originally they produced soap and jams. They then moved into confectionery and in the 1930's invented the popular mentho-lyptus which is the basis of most of their cough drops now. Halls Soothers are basically hard fruit sweets (boiled sweets) with a refreshing liquid centre. From...

Review of Risley Hall, Risley

Berry delightful!

Advantages: tasteful, low calorie, good size
Disadvantages: Aspartame

...Being both a huge fan of yoghurt, and having shared my time with scrumptious pots of Weight Watchers yoghurts, I decided it was time to sample the Weight Watchers Fromage Frais. These come in two pack options: Summer Fruits and Berry Fruits. At the time of purchase, they were on a '2 for £2' deal at Asda, which was fantastic as they were usually £1.97 a pack! This was an offer I simply could not refuse to take advantage of, and added both to my shopping trolley! The Berry Fruits option has six pots of yoghurt, in four exciting flavours2 x blackberry, 2 x forest fruits, 1 x raspberry and 1 x cherry. Each one looked delicious, and I couldn't wait to try them! Each yoghurt has a vanilla layer on the top; a very smooth and thick, creamy fromage frais with a distinctive plain taste, more of a natural yoghurt than a vanilla! It doesn...

Hardwick Old Hall

Advantages: Historical, interesting, great views
Disadvantages: Not a huge amount to see

...A couple of weeks ago Mr Tart and I headed for the Peak District to visit his family. As a big fan of all things old I wanted to visit some sort of historical site as my part of the weekend (don?t worry, her got a 7 mile walk out of me for his part!). I?d always wanted to visit Hardwick Hall, especially as the Tudors is one of my favourite historical periods and was very happy to hear it was so close to where we were staying. SOME HISTORY: I doubt if many people will have heard of Hardwick Old Hall. I certainly hadn?t and I like to think I?m quite a bore when it comes to these sorts of things! The Hall was built by Bess of Hardwick (Elizabeth, Countess Shrewsbury) between 1587 and 1596. Bess was one of the foremost women of the Elizabethan age and managed to get through four husbands on her way up the social ladder. Bess was...

Whirlowbrook Hall, Sheffield

Advantages: Lovely setting
Disadvantages: Cafe is expensive

...Whirlowbrook Hall is located about 5 miles to the west of Sheffield city centre, close to the county border of Derbyshire and on the edge of the Peak District National Park. It was built in 1906 as the family home of Sir Walter Benton-Jones, a leading industrialist in the city. Today, Whirlowbrook Hall is one of the premier venues in the region for weddings, conferences, banquets and meetings. Within the building there are numerous different rooms that can be hired out for these private functions. The venue now also holds a civil marriage license so it is possible to get married here in addition to holding your function here afterwards. The various rooms range dramatically in size. A few years ago I worked for a company that hired out the Music Room on several occasions for its senior staff meetings and this is when I first became...
