The Importance of reading this...

Advantages: Great story, good characters, a fun read
Disadvantages: Storyline is a tad silly but who cares?!

...realises if she wants her inheritance, she has to marry Anthony for real - but she only has 5 weeks to do so. Can she make Anthony fall in love in just a few weeks? And is it really what she wants? According to the author's foreword, she has somewhat based this story upon the play "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde after reading it but I can't really comment on that much because I haven't read that story myself. To me, it just sounded like a fun if unrealistic and somewhat silly storyline, but I don't read books for them to be like real life because for me, reading is escapism and I do enjoy a silly read sometimes. I do get nervous reading new authors, especially if I've parted with my hard earned cash for them, but after reading just a few pages of this, I knew I would love it, and I actually found it hard to put down...

Review of The Importance of Being Married - Gemma Townley

Importance? To Whom?

Advantages: Ideal for group reading,
Disadvantages: background knowledge is almost essential

...A Woman Of No Importance was written in a time when women had little or no place in the world, politically. Lord Illingworth, a womanising politician demonstrates this through his tendancies to leave women 'fallen'. The tale of Rachel Arbuthnot, a single mother in the 1890s, trying to teach her son, Gerald, of the evils of the world has her life torn apart when Lord Illingworth throws the ultimate spanner into the ultimate works. Thus leaving the middle class family closer than he had ever intended. On first reading, this book seems to be soley an outstanding play, but on more intense reading, the many levels and the many themes Wilde involves leave the reader astounded. With refrences to the political state of Middle Class England at the time Wilde wrote this play as well as many other aspects of England and the position of women...

This Is Important

Advantages: The start of something wonderful
Disadvantages: Only the start of something wonderful

...time as "Blur" came out, the Idlewild mini-album "Captain" surfaced. It was quite simply an energetic burst of aural pleasure. When Idlewild finally came up with a full-length debut it wasn't quite what I had yearned for. Firstly because 'Captain' had heightened my anticipation and secondly because the album title and the song titles were brilliant. "Hope Is Important" is certainly energetic and sometimes hits greatness with songs like 'When I Argue I See Shapes' and the staggeringly beautiful "Low Light". But it is also extremely messy, badly produced and very unprofessional. For some albums this works a treat, like "Pinkerton" by Weezer, but I think that just recording Idlewild's superb live sound is not as good an idea as it may have seemed for a first LP. It worked well on "Captain", but fails a little here. Songs like "You've Lost...

HOT IMPORT NIGHTS

Advantages: Plenty too do, customising your cars
Disadvantages: Poor loading times

...Juiced 2: hot import nights When I heard about this game being released i was looking forward to another brilliant racing car game. But once you've played it you realise that is doesnt have the same feel to it as your other great racing games like pgr and forza motorsports. The game has great ideas with racing in diffrent cities like London, Rome and Sydney, with night racing and plenty of nos. But when your driving it seems like the cars acceleratring slow and the handling is poor. I like the career mode where you have to work your way up in the ranks leagues but one of the most annoying things about this game is the loading times it takes forever to load. Theres a good race mode in last man standing where you can spook your opponents by driving close to them then a meter fills and it puts pressure on them and they...

DIY importing

Advantages: V. CHEAP
Disadvantages: THE WAIT

...I have recently bought a Toyota Celica VVTi from a dealership in Denmark. the spec is UK and I have Premium Pack / Metallic paint and a rear spoiler as extra. The UK price would be close on £20k. I have imported it myself - collected the car and the total price including travel / exchange rates / petrol etc.. was just £13.5k. I would recommend this method to anybody who is importing a any car or buying a new car. The only disadvantage is the wat. It took nearly 6 months for the car to arrive in Denmark. But on a savng of £6.5k it is worth it. I have now had the car for 3 months and have had no probs at all. Many of my friends and colleagues are now considering buying fron Denmark and one of them has recently ordered a RAV4 saving a similar amount. Please feel free to mail me and I will give you details of the dealership I used....

Review of FTO imports Car Importer

The Important, passionately refreshing, sound of hope

Advantages: Passionate, noisy, anthemic. Especially 'When I argue I see shapes', 'Everyone say's your so fragile' and 'I'm a message'
Disadvantages: The few more reflective moments, while still good, don't satisfy quite as much as the standout heavier songs. More progress was made on this front in their next album '100 broken windows' (also reviewed by me)

...After financing their first single ?Queen of troubled teens? with imaginative use of student loans, Idlewild went on to become Edinburgh?s brightest young musical hopes. ?Hope is Important?, their second album, successfully developed upon their first (?Captain?) in that it kept the fiery passion that impressed critics such as Steve Lamacq while also constructing more complex levels out of the ?wall of sound? they had previously been known for. The rhythm section of Bob Fairfoull (Bass) and Colin Newton (Drums) drives the faster songs forward relentlessly, while Rod Jones (Guitar) and Roddy Woomble (Vocals) complement each other with their impressive and impassioned riffs and phrasing. If you?ve been introduced to Idlewild through ?100 broken windows? (which I?ve also reviewed) then you can expect something a little different from...

Review of Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights (PC)

Specialist Alfa importers and Garage services

Advantages: Friendly personal service; Experts in their field; Good value; after sales
Disadvantages: May not be local to you.

...As soon as I saw the Alfa 156 back in 1997, I knew I had to have one. Two years later, in 1999 I was fortunate enough to afford one. Having looked at a few franchised dealers, I was put off by their hard sales tactics. I then happened to come across a brand new imported fantasy blue 156 advertised at Monza Sport. This was the exact colour I wanted (it?s quite rare for this car?for any car for that matter), and in the spec I wanted (it had to have a sport pack, in my opinion, without this the 156 looks ugly). So the wife and I made the long trek from Kent to Cowfold in West Sussex. On first impressions the garage doesn?t look anything fancy, but from the number of new and nearly new Alfas standing on the forecourt, I knew this was a specialist outfit. I met the joint owner John Griffiths, (brother Bryn is the other one). The car I...
