* Ghost Town *

Advantages: Funny in places
Disadvantages: Not Funny throughout

..."He Sees dead people?and they annoy him" Bertam Pincus is a dentist. During an operation he "dies" for seven minutes but then comes back to life with the ability to see ghosts. You'd think that it would be pretty cool to see ghosts and be able to talk to them when no one else could see or talk to them. Although Pincus isn't too happy with his 'new-found-talent' ; watch Ghost Town to find out why! I'd read "quick" reviews about Ghost Town in various magazine and although I had a rough idea of what the movie was about , it wasn't a movie that I was planning on going to see at the cinema. It wasn't until I watched an episode of Friday Night With Jonathon Ross a few weeks back, where Ricky Gervais was a guest and promoting his new film , that I decided I wanted to see this film. It was the clip of the 'dog scene' that got me going! I...

CAMDEN TOWN

Advantages: Interesting place, easy to get to, good value
Disadvantages: You have to be a bit careful

...I?ve visited Camden several times now and it is certainly one of my favourite parts of London. Well first of all, where is Camden? It?s in northwest London and can be easily reached by tube or bus. If travelling by tube Camden Town is on the Northern Line (the black coloured line on a London Underground map). Buses run to Camden from most major points in London. With tube fares and bus fares being very cheap public transport is by far the best way of getting to Camden. I would strongly advice against going by car. There is little parking and traffic is also bad, Camden is also not the safest place in the world to leave your car. Camden is very famous for its markets, though don?t worry its not like the type of market that you see on EastEnders selling cheap and tacky clothes and ?a bag of grapes for a quid?. Camden Market is...

Welcome To Lazy Town

Advantages: Great Fun and strong messages being sent to kids.
Disadvantages: None

...For anyone that has kids would know about Lazy town and for anyone that does not have kids think your self's very lucky. The new kids show that has lively music that also is annoying and sticks in your head for days. You can't watch a show without singing to at least one song. Though the best thing about this kids show is that it helps towards eating healthy and bans junk food. Lazy Town Well for anyone that does not know by now here is a quick recap about the show and about the characters. Lazy Town. For me this has to be one of the best shows that my kids watch. I like the fact that they are promoting healthy eating and getting active. Though don't except your kids to start eating fruit and veg immediately. My son does not and has not done since he was weaned. Though he has got a tad...

Home Town Blues

Advantages: A lovely historic City
Disadvantages: Little to do

...So , I'm mad at life in general and need to vent . I have chosen a topic well removed from the real source of my present dire state of mind in order to put the argument fairly and in a considered and slightly detached manner . I think this only fair to anyone who chooses to read . My home town of Lincoln was always a quiet place ?? City in name only , as its streets were relatively safe and peaceful , rather behind the times . We were a little removed from the rest of the country , being a conservative Cathedral city in a backwater county of mostly rural landscapes and outlying remote villages . The uphill area is stunning , narrow cobbled streets and little boutique style shops ( with prices to match , a bit of a tourist trap ! ) . Atop the hill sits the 9th century cathedral , magnificently ornate and visible for miles...

The Town House is a Tiny Treasure

Advantages: Lovely rooms, great smellies
Disadvantages: I didn't get to try the restaurant - maybe next time!

...I've never been to Arundel before which is a bit of a shame as it seems to be a lovely little town although I'd have to admit it seems a bit over-supplied with antique shops and speciality little stores selling things you don't need, like a whole shop just selling walking sticks for example. I nearly didn't stay at the Town House and visit Arundel at all due to a bit of a 'cock-up on the communication front' with the lady who was helping to book me a room. She told me that the Town House wouldn't take a booking unless I told them when I was going to arrive and I got in a bit of a snit, fuming "It's not a bloody dentist, why do I need an appointment?" Exasperated, I told her to tell the hotel to take a hike and asked her to book me somewhere else (in fact the awful Mill House in Ashington). Only after she told me that the Mill was...

Swindon Town FC

Advantages: Ought to gain promotion this season...
Disadvantages: ...from League 2

...Swindon Town Football Club can now be found sat in League 2...just over ten years ago they were a Premiership team. Their fall from grace has been dramatic, not only from a playing point of view, but financially. Their stadium, The County Ground in the middle of Swindon, is an all-seater stadium of just over 15,000, not that it'll get anywhere near being filled for a few more seasons until they are back in the top 2 leagues in English football (well, IF they are back in the top 2......) For a brief history lesson, they were League Cup winners in 1969, after beating Arsenal 3-1 in the final, and won the 1969 and 1970 Anglo-Italian League Cup Winners' Cup, against Roma and Napoli respectively. Then, after an extremely quiet period, they gained promotion to the Premiership for the 1993-94 season after beating Leicester City in...

The Late Great Townes Van Zandt

Advantages: Archive footage, interviews, live performances
Disadvantages: None

...For anyone who has read my previous comment on the great Townes Van Zandt, or has heard and enjoyed his music, this DVD is a must see. If neither is applicable to you but you are interesting in an insight into the tragic workings of a genius, this is also a must. This is the an often heartbreaking, sometimes amusing, always fascinating account of the life and times of Townes Van Zandt: Texan troubadour, manic depressive, misunderstood drunk, lovelorn poet and close friend to a lucky and select few. Van Zandt has written countless classic songs of loss, hope and heartbreak including the hits Pancho and Lefty and If I Needed You and has been covered by countless artists from Norah Jones, Emmylou Harris and Bob Dylan, some of whom are interviewed here. As a biographical documentary, this is an engaging and lovingly crafted film...

Sheffield's Town Hall Building

Advantages: Highly Decorative, Central Location
Disadvantages: Not Easily Accesible For Disabled People

...The current Town Hall Building in the centre of Sheffield is one of only two Grade 1 listed Buildings in Sheffield. Built in 1890 this is the fourth Town Hall Building that the City has had. The first Town Hall Building was built in 1637. The second Town Hall Building was used between 1700 and 1808, whilst the third Building was used between 1808 and 1897. The current Town Hall Building is located on Pinstone Street right in the centre of the City. This impressive looking piece of Architecture took seven years to build so it did not officially open until the 21st May 1897 when it was opened by Queen Victoria. It was designed by a London based Architect called E.W Mountford, with an extension designed by F.E.P Edwards completed in 1923. The design was based largely on that of St. Paul's Church that occupied the land adjacent...
