Home Alone

Advantages: Comdey none stop
Disadvantages: None

...Home Alone, was a classic hit comedy film that was first released in 1991. Even in my adulthood, I am more than happy to watch the film again, and when I was a kid I use to remember watching this film a hundred times during the Christmas holidays and summer holidays. It was such a feel good family fun film; it was the sort of film that even if you?ve watched it once you would never gets bored watching it over and over again. Plot: The film opens with the entire McCallister family packing for their Christmas vacation to France. The family is exceptionally big, some 30 plus including adults. Kevin McCallister the youngest in the family needs help packing his luggage, the older kids simply don?t have the time or the patience to help him, he feels left out and unwanted, just like most teenagers. A patrol police man Harry played by Joe...

  Bargains For Your Home

Advantages: Can save you money on your normal shop
Disadvantages: You pick things up you wouldn't normally. Items change regularly.

...I've done a number of reviews on items that I've picked up cheaply from Home Bargains, so I thought why not do a review on the shop itself? Home Bargains is owned by a company called TJ Morris Ltd and the stores are currently popping up all over the country. I am lucky to have 2 different stores nearby which stock some of the same stuff and some different, so it does go to show that some different products are available at different stores. What things do they sell? You can pick up loads of different things off of your main shopping list in Home Bargains. It is not like a pound shop, which are normally just full of tat and the odd bargain. Home Bargains sell products that you would find in your local supermarket, just at a much lower price. Health and Beauty In my most local store, the first aisle that...

PC Home: a good introduction to computing

Advantages: simple, consise
Disadvantages: too basic for some, CDs are not outstanding

...PC Home is a good magazine for beginners into the PC world. The style is fun and not too serious, which is good for this audience. More experienced PC users may find this patronising and frustrating. For the beginner, PC Home offers a consise variety of reviews and information. They, perhaps, aren't a definitive guide to quality, but they are a good idea. The cover CD's are reasonable and useful. The software isn't amazing, but quite good. THe magazine could spend a few more pages explaining the cD's contents, though. There is little advertising, and quite a lot of content. This is a good magazine and good introduction to the PC world, after a while though, you may want to move onto something more detailed....

Back Home

Advantages: Westlife, great songs and voices
Disadvantages: A few week links and very ballard orientated

...This is another great album from the 4 Irish men. It is titled Back Home. There are 12 tracks on this CD:- 1 - Home - This is a beautiful ballard from the group which you will have probably have heard on the radio or advertised on the TV when the adverts for this album appears. It has a lovely tune and is very easy listening. 2 - Us against the world - This is another ballard but has a different edge to it from their usual ballards. The tune is very catchy and the song has great words. More upbeat than some of the songhs on the album. There is a very catchy chorus which is very easy to pick up so you will soon be singing along! 3 - Something right - This song has a lovely tune which makes easy listening. The words are very nice but this is not one of my favourite songs. There is a very upbeat feel to this song which does make...

BT RUBBISH HOME HUB

Advantages: PRETTY FLASHING LIGHTS
Disadvantages: CONSTANT BREAKDOWN

...telling me a Lan cable had been unplugged.Damned if i had touched anything.I did a network connection check and it was all good so i had a look at the hub. The broadband light was a solid green as it should be,the ethernet light was solid too as it was recommended to use ethernet cables. The internet light was flashing as it should showing you were connected.I called BT customer service which is another mistake because they charge at national rates and rarely do you get a person you can understand.I was on the phone for half an hour while the guy took my computer over by remote and started dabbling.At this point he told me to reset the home hub,a small button on the back that you press for 15 seconds and it resets. Ok that worked but let me stress this point to you.I have performed this action no less than 100 times in the 7 months i...

George Wimpey Homes

Advantages: Modern, affordable homes
Disadvantages: No end of niggles....

...I checked out my local George Wimpey development after being fed up of having very little space in our previous home. The show homes looked fab - they were very modern compared to all the other developer's & prices were much lower than simialr sized homes on nearby developments. We chose a 3-storey home since there was so much more space. Wimpey were fantastic at this point (bear in mind this was 3 yrs ago, when homes were selling well, so they didn't have to be so helpful in order to sell homes....service may be even better now?!). They helped us sell our old home, by lowering the price & making up the difference between the sale price & the average estimated value themselves. They paid all the legal & selling fees, & even threw on £400 for removals! (For which we paid about £50 & pocketed the rest...!). The sales staff at our...

Home of research

Advantages: payments in pounds by cheque
Disadvantages: porr customer service, late payments, dodgy surveys

...I have been a member of home of research for a number of years now and its finally amazing to see how high standards slip. Who they are? What they do. Home of research are an online survey takers, if you join you are emailed a link to surveys a few times per month. These surveys on various subjects earn you points, once your each the threshold of 2000 you can redeem them for payment by cheque of £20. Seems quite simple? The surveys. Surveys can be on anything any subject from DVDs you by to tooth paste, to when you drink alcohol. Basically they want to know everything there is to know on the subjects, although you are not 100% guaranteed to complete a survey, as there are a number of filter questions and the default "sorry you don't fit the criteria for this questionnaire" quite often. Also bare in mind they are...

Review of The Home of Research

Welcome Home, Corrs.

Advantages: Wonderful source material; appealing arrangements with long shelf life; excellent sound; BBC Concert Orchestra.
Disadvantages: Sharon's violin, Corrs' vocal harmonies underused; bubblegum track, 'Old Town'.

...The Corrs have finally come home. And thank heaven for that. Who? you ask. This multi-platinum selling Irish pop band from Dundalk, Ireland, are four siblings, namely, sisters Sharon, Caroline, Andrea and brother Jim. Although they're less well known in the USA, their music has sold phenomenally well across the globe (large fan bases exist in the UK, Ireland, western and central Europe, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, Australia?but in the USA??). Their remarkable debut album, 'Forgiven, Not Forgotten' (1995), combined modern pop with a strong Irish sensibility through the use of uillean pipes, bodhràn, tin whistle, and the dulcet-toned violin of Sharon. Although their second album, 'Talk on Corners' (1999), dropped a notch below 'Forgiven', that work still drew mainly upon the Corrs' strengths...

Bryant Homes

Advantages: Great home
Disadvantages: Some niggles

...Bryant Homes We both wanted to buy a new house. And (for different reasons) we both wanted a show home. We looked at five different new housing developments all within easy reach of my workplace. The first was a development by a small building company. Nothing to write home about (if you'll pardon that accidental nearly a pun) it was a "bog standard" development, with nothing to recommend it. The houses seemed to be poorly designed and the site agent (who was only doing the job as a favour to a mate of hers) was utterly clueless as to how the house faired in regards to the recent changes in heat insulation, etc. We noticed that on another development (construction by a national house builder which blew its own trumpet as to how good it's apprentice scheme was, how good it's skilled craftsmen were) the frames of the front doors...
