Advantages: Very short, Uses humorous metephors for everyday events, Life changing Disadvantages: NONE
...of two mice: Sniff and Scurry, and two little people Hem and Haw. The point of the charaters is that mice are meant to be dumb, simple creatures, who do what they need to do, whereas Hem and Haw represent the complexities of being human. The story basically details how the four characters go in search of cheese in a maze and eventually find some at cheese station C. All is well for quite some time but then Sniff and Scurry notice that the supply is starting to dwindle. They therefore get out into the maze and go in search of cheese elsewhere. Hem and haw basically sit around hemming and hawwing long after the cheese has disappeared. Haw eventually realises that he must go in search elsewhere and unfortunately, we lose Hem altogether.
The discussion sees us return to the reunion group later on in the same day. They have decided to meet up...
Advantages: Another iconic actor Disadvantages: I guess you have to like Hemmings
...WHO IS DAVID HEMMINGS?
British actor born in Guildford in 1941, best known for 'Blow Up', as Nolan in 'The Charge of the Light Brigade, Dildano (ooer) in Barbarella, and Camelot. He died in 2003 almost on set in Bucharest while filming 'Blessed'. He was 62, and should have stayed around to do more very good character acting as in 'Last Orders' (200).
WHY DID I BUY IT?
As a great fan of director Antonioni's 1967 cult film 'Blow Up', loosely based around the 'swinging sixties' and the heady lifestyles of photographers such as David Bailey in particular. I quite like Hemmings as an actor: and he was very beautiful when young in a Terence Stamp kinda way - they were often rivals for the same film roles, although they apparently never met. The title and cover photo of Hemmings behind a camera, in a still from the film, was a clever...
Advantages: You get to know more about Me Disadvantages: It will offend you especially the bit where I'm nasty about Britney because I'm chanelling Victor Meldrew again...
Advantages: quick, easy to use Disadvantages: no display
...When I started going to the gym, i wanted something a little less bulky than my creative zen to take with me.I went to America and bought a shuffle for a friend as a present, boy did he love it.
about 1inch square, with a stupendously handy clip to attatch to your belt, the hem of your shirt, the strap of your bag, this mp3 player is perfect for dashing out and about. Perhaps not so great for long journeys, 240 songs won't last on a plane ride around the world but who does that very often?
The shuffle i have is the 1gb variety - which retailed at £50 but is now slightly cheaper at £35. It comes with a usb dock and a set of headphones, and is obviously designed to intergrate with itunes. Definitely a winner in my book, it's simple to use, has great battery life because there is no display (which isn't really an issue with such...
...can really tell the difference between regular straighteners. My hair also looks healthy and silky which is a bonus as far as I'm concerned.
The other great thing I like about hem is that they have cut down the amount of time that I spend straightening my hair. Before with an old pair I had to go over the same section of hair to get it as straight as I can now but with the GHD's it only takes one go and my strand is straight.
The Salon Styler pair are fairly expensive, mine cost £109 but it was well worth the investment. I've only had mine a short time but I know people who have had theirs for years and they are still working just as well as new. Once you work out the price over a number of years then you will see it is worth the investment.
They came in a nice box with, like I've mentioned above, a bottle of the GHD heat...

Review of GHD Salon Styler
...**
The choices of blankets vary. You can get all different sizes as, lets face it, babies do grow! You can get cot sized blankets, pram sized, bed sized and carrycot sized. They all come with a silky ribbon all the way around the hem which adds a bit of colour as they are usually striped. The blankets themselves are made from a fleecy material which is nice and snuggly.
**Personalisation**
When you select which blanket size you require you then have a choice of designs and names to make the blanket unique. The blanket shows what colour trim there will be around the hem and sometimes you can select different ones. You can then chose the colour of the blanket and this is where it gets hard! There are so many different shades of colours that it involves making a decision!There are 3 different shades of pink so you can see just how hard a choice it is...

Review of Mr Mole Blankets
Advantages: intriging Disadvantages: A difficult movie for the casual viewer
...Blow Up is a film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni. The film is about a talented photographer called Thomas (David Hemmings), who becomes bored of taking glamorous photos of models. He resorts to photographing, in a documentary style, the seamy and sordid side of life in slums and flophouses. Innocently, he takes candid photographs in a deserted park of a lover's rendezvous between a young woman called Jane (Vanessa Redgrave) and a middle-aged man. Jane after she realises that he has photos of her and the man, pursues Thomas to ask for the illicit photos. He imagines that he has witnessed a scene of sexual intrigue - never thinking that he may have accidentally obtained photographic evidence of a murder. Or has he?
The film involves illusions, appearances, and reality, and the sequences of the people on the rag or mimes, as...

Review of Blow Up (DVD)
Advantages: its very comfort for all seasons Disadvantages: not so strainable
...Everything that's claimed is true.. I've been out in tropical style cloudbursts wearing my Barbour and hood. Everything below the jacket hem was soaked ie the lower calves of my legs and feet. But my Barbour did it's duty and kept the rest of me bone dry!
It is also remarkably wind proof. Combined with a vest,shirt and jumper and a decent Tinsulate lined wooly hat, I've braved nasty cold east winds this winter and stayed warm.I've also been through bushes by accident of course. Again a lesser jacket would have been pierced by thorns etc and as a result, I was saved from some potential nasty injury.
Ok so it does what it's supposed to....

...As part of our English course, we had to select a random object from within a carrier bag and write a poem personifying that object. Most of our group got interesting things, me... I got a tatty old tea towel. Here is the poem I submitted:
Just an old, unwanted, tea towel
--------------------------------------------
Edges fray, they say, with age
Well mine are fraying too.
In days gone by,
My hems were neat
But now?
They're tattered through
Colour fades, they say, with age
Well mine is fading too
There was a time,
I dried the pots
And now?
I wipe a shoe
Those were the days, they say, with age
Well those were my days too
I used to be put out to dry,
Yet now?
I seldom do.
And as my final days drew near?
My useful life all fin?
I found my final resting place
Was in a rubbish bin
<sigh>
