Crimewatch UK - Sleep tight & don't have nightmares!

Advantages: Great show, well presented, helping to rid our streets of awful offenders.
Disadvantages: Some of the reconstructions are very upsetting and it's because they're all true :(

...Crimewatch UK is a BBC programme which is on roughly once a month and aims to bring light to the public criminals who are wanted and crimes that have been committed as well as making people aware again of events that may have happened a number of years ago and where the culprits have still not been found. There have been a number of presenters over the years and one of them was Jill Dando who was murdered outside her home. Crimewatch had a reconstruction and eventually her killer was found and imprisoned. A number of crimes are covered on Crimewatch such as murder, rape, theft, burglary, muggings, stabbings, shootings etc and they have a part in the show where they show you the 10 most wanted people in the UK at the moment and advises you of some of the crimes that have committed and any of their known aliases. The show does advise...

The Best & Worse Places In The UK

Advantages: I wrote it!
Disadvantages: No biscuits ;o(

...so hardly was going to report me. On the day I attacked him, he walked into my store and told the girl on the first till that he was going to follow her home and rape her, just in case you wondered why I set about him. 7) Crossways, Dorset - Or by whatever ridiculous name it goes by nowadays. Crossways is a big estate where everyone a little unsavoury in Dorset ends up. The words Pedo or Nonse seem sprayed on just about every wall you see. It gets dark hours before the rest of Dorset, and you feel uneasy the whole time your there. Crossways is set right outside the town of Dorchester and was originally placed there so its occupants could not get to Dorchester easily. 8) Plymouth, Devon - The expression Plymouth Ho takes on a new meaning here. What a dirty dreary City. Considering in its expanse its one of the largest cities in the UK...

the glenn miller orchestra uk

Advantages: great big band music
Disadvantages: none

...The Glenn Miller Orchestra UK was founded by Ray McVay in the 80's . This was done after talks with the Glenn Miller Estate, who had listened to many of Ray McVay's tracks. Who is Ray McVay? Ray McVay was born in the late 30's in Scotland. He became a professional musician at the tender age of 13 as a rocking sax player.

THE BEST BEACH IN THE UK

Advantages: Great place
Disadvantages: Too perfect

...! Sandbanks is well known for many things and places, one of these things is the Canford cliffs which are very near the border of Bournemouth. Other attractions include the great dolphin shopping centre, the town centre, the old quay which homes the popular Poole Pottery, the Ryvita factory and the great watersports that goes on in the area. The main attraction however, is the beach itself, Sandbanks Beach known as the best beach in the UK is situated in Sandbanks and in the summer is very popular. The beach itself is a shallow bay, very lagoon like. To get all the way around the bay in a car would take hours so a chain ferry has been built. I have been on this ferry many times and have been impressed, you pay like a normal ferry for a 2minute nip over to the other side of the bay, the ferry itself is very big and many people use it, the charges...

It's the OC.........in the Uk

Advantages: Sun, fab clean beaches, hip clubs, great mix of people and lots to do!
Disadvantages: Tourists!

..., Dame Kitty) and lots of pubs. The hen night/stag night crews crawl from one end of town to the other - starting in places like the Moon in the Square and end up in theme clubs like the 70's experience in Fir Vale Road (get your flare's out!) The cool crowd and UK celebs in town, start off at Jimmy's Bar/nightclub for eats and to be seen, then progress to the K Bar, Klute, Toko or Bar So. Think the best DJ's music, beautiful people and long queues. **My tip is book ahead at Jimmy's (tel: 01202 589069)and pay for a booth to guarantee entry into the club afterwards.*** The Opera House nightclub is the home of the famous Slinky brand and is located in Boscombe (£5 - £10 by taxi from city centre). Restaurants in town vary from chains like Pizza Hut and Yellow River to small bistros. My favourites are: Cantonese: Red Panda...

The Best Uk Comedy EVER Anybody?

Advantages: Classic British Humour
Disadvantages: No Christmas Speicals!! There just not enough!!

.... The laughs in this show come mainly from the two standout chracters, Del and Rodney - who despite there age difference have an incredibly close bond and interact with one another brilliantly on screen. Uncle Albert also is involved with some classic comedy moments with Del and Rodney aswell as some heartwarming moments which show how despite his wheeler deeler approach he is deep down a very family orientated man. Rodney's gormless character is also the marker for plenty of laughs as Trigger often points out, which is hialrious in itself due to his natural stupid nature! Other ongoing gags include simply Del's car, his delapedated Reliant Regal van which always seems to break down (unsurprisingly) at the worse times! Series 1: 1. Big Brother 2. Go West Young Man 3. Cash And Curry 4. The Second Time Around 5. A Slow Bus To Chingford 6...

The WWF comes to the UK

Advantages: The Beserkers greatest bout exists on this tape
Disadvantages: Most of the matches are very poor.

...In 1991 the WWF (now the WWE) visited the UK to put on a mega-show that was to be shown on Sky 1. The venue was the London Docklands arena and they brought the whole roster to the show (including the world famous Hulk Hogan!), which lead to huge ticket sales. The event on video lasts 180 minutes, and is shown in it?s entirety which is very pleasing. It is certificate E, which means it has been unrated due to it being a sports event. It was released by Silvervision in late 1991 on video and in the future Silvervision hope to release this event on DVD (they have entered it for reclassification to the BBFC). The commentators for this event are Vince McMahon and Rowdy Roddy Piper, this is a great team as they complement each other?s style really well. The video comes in a nice plain box with a picture of the British Bulldog on, I like...

MY BANK IN THE UK

Advantages: A good bank when tailored to suit my needs.
Disadvantages: Overcharging for use of cash machines.

...instant access to my savings, can transfer money online into my savings account and am satisfied with the service I get. Transferring Money overseas. Upon selling my house in the UK, I had to transfer the money made from the UK to France. It was a worrying time. The girl at the bank helped me through it, and made it all very simple. We sorted it all out in advance, and then waited for a good moment in the exchange rate. All it would take was a phone call, and that would be the chosen exchange rate day. By careful planning, I made 2000 pounds on the exchange rate, and this is my point. If a client uses their common sense to enhance their banking experience, it doesn't always mean paying out extra or losing. Overdraft facilities. I have a 3000 Pounds overdraft facility that I have seldom used. The reason is simple. Explaining...

Review of HSBC

Eurovision - UK flops again

Advantages: a good laugh at Terry Wogan's commentary
Disadvantages: awful music

...Ah eurovision again, a chance for Europe to come together in a celebration of the diverse music of the continent - yeah right. More like the annual political love in. Let's face it the UK does not take the contest seriously and most of us only watch it for Terry Wogan's commentary on it to see how many insults he can do. Can he break the 20 IPE (insults per entry) this year? The UK has had a run of very poor results but then again we have had a run of very poor entries as well. Last years well the less said the better, 2006 - a rap what were we thinking? Not to mention the utter disaster of 2003 with 'Jemini' and the big fat zero. I won't go on, it get too depressing, (or embarrassing that I can remember it all.) Whilst our entry is better than last year's - well let's face it it could hardly be worse I don't think it...
