Jack in the box

Advantages: Playful, loving and loyal
Disadvantages: keeps running for MILES !

...Well when my border collie died we were in loss of our dog and a member of the family, so we went in search of another companion, we bought a jack russel named ellie, we got her from a pet store, we wanted a boy however we ended up with a girl. later that week we saw an advert for a jack russel cross patadale terrier, we went to the address to check out this dog and as we pulled into the drive we saw a caravan and there was loads of little puppies with tiny bodies and huge ears. In the end we bought a little boy and we were blunder as to why he was a dark cream, this was only because we had never seen a dark cream jack. Anyhow we got him home and gave him a wash due to the fact he smelt a bit and was dirty. when he came out of the bath we were surprised to see a white dog, it was clear that ollie was left outside with the other...

Boxing News

Advantages: Quality, Easy To read, Likable
Disadvantages: Short, Price, Formulaic

...If Ring magazine is the world champion of boxing magazine it's big European rival is British based Boxing News that is now celebrating it's 100th year in production. It's currently a weekly magazine (though it's a registered paper) priced at £2.80 and released on a Friday ever week. Although the history of how it's become what it is, is an interesting story that saw one of my personal hero's Harry Mullan become it's editor for quite some time before his very untimely death, this review will stick to what the magazine currently is. It's currently almost full of regular features, like most magazines and it's opening article titled ?Fighting Talk? is written by current editor Claude Abrams and although not always a fan of his views an opinions it's often a well written piece to open the magazine. It's almost certainly based on just...

Jack in a Box

Advantages: Looks beyond the ordinary to find the extrodinary
Disadvantages: None - except you will want more of Swift

...1997. It costs £6.99 although can be purchased cheaper in various book stores using specific offers. A brief synopsis Jack Doods, a family butcher, has died and has left his ?last orders? for his remains to be scattered at sea from Margate pier. Dodds? three drinking buddies and long term friends gather in their regular local before setting off on a journey to fulfil his wishes. Jack?s wife Amy does not join them. As they travel to Margate, the foursome?s thoughts travel also through the past and the events that led to this day; through the present and the continuing issues both hidden and open; through the future and what is yet to happen. Jack is present at all times, in their memories, their conversations and physically, his ashes kept within a box they carry with them. The reasons for Margate, the reasons why Amy does not join them...

Review of Last Orders - Graham Swift

Jack Johns... zzzzzz....

Advantages: Unbelievably chilled out
Disadvantages: Little samey but only if your being picky

...Jack Johnson is an Acoustic guitarist and songwriter born in Hawaii. This is his third album and is a characteristically mellow offering and should appeal to anyone who knows how to chill out. The album is packaged in a nice cardboard case which is a yellow background and a silhouette of a tree with a lone guitarist resting against it. This guy is seriously laid back. his album has 15 tracks but also comes with a bonus track when bought in the UK. A lot of people who have read my reviews will tend to like something completely different but I don't think many people will dislike JJ. My only complaint is that he's TOO chilled. The Album [Track 1 - Better Together] A floating acoustic riff drifts through the beginning of this track and the vocals make it practically feel like a lullaby. The lyrics are positive...

Review of In Between Dreams - Jack Johnson

<3 Jack!

Advantages: looks good, can be cheap now
Disadvantages: /

...I love Doctor Who. I'll admit my knowedge of the original series is quite weak, but you can ask me anything about the 21st Century series' and I can rattle off a fair bit to you! So what is it anyway? Well Doctor Who is a sci-fi family show about a Time Lord named the Doctor. He travels around the galaxies through time and space in his blue box known as the Tardis (Time and Relative Dimension in Space), saving the innocent from the evil. Sometimes he travels alone though more often than not it is with a companion. One of his companions, as sort of tag along, is Captain Jack Harkness, who we met in Series One, and then again in Series 3 and 4. He is a Time Agent, so he knowns about alien tech and suchlike. He fell for the gorgeous Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) and although he and the Doctor did not get along too greatly, they soon became...

All about Jack

Advantages: wonderfuul dogs, caring attentive and easy to care for
Disadvantages: Some can be nasty if not trained right

...We inherited Jack about 10 years ago he was kept in a shed because the owner?s daughter preferred his brothers to him! Paul my boyfriend swapped him for some tarmac (the owner was a farmer and its quite common for them to need tarmac). Paul took him home and he lived with him and his mum for a few years until we got our own house and he?s been with us ever since. About the Jack Russell breed ----------------------------------- The founder of the breed was Parson John (Jack) Russell. Who bred these great dogs in the nineteenth century. This terrier is supposed to have originally been crossed with a Devon hunt terrier. The breed varies in size and coat texture, I know some really skinny dogs but our Jack is a hefty 11kg! The recommended weight is between 5-8kg (oops!) Jack is a smooth coat but some terriers have a rough coat...

Review of Jack Russell Terrier

Adopting Jake the Jack Russell

Advantages: Loving, company, exercise for me!
Disadvantages: Barking at other dogs

...We took over a two year old Jack Russell a month ago, from some friends who were moving house and couldn't take him with them. My husband and kids had been campaigning to have a dog for several years, but I wasn't keen as I knew that I would end up being the one doing all the walks etc and didn't think I could cope with the extra work. However, I'd gradually come around to the idea and decided that a Jack would be the breed that I'd most likely risk, as they were the only type of dog that I'd had experience looking after, as we used to dog-sit Nipper the Jack for my in-laws when they went on holiday. So when our friends asked for anyone who could give Jake a home at short notice, we decided to go & meet him, and consequently brought him home. The first night he was here, he slept in our bed, between us, initially with his head on mine...

A Box with No End ...

Advantages: Lennard Pearce as Grandad, & Classic Episodes
Disadvantages: Not all the Best & Special Episodes, No Extras

...? --------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- The First Series 1 to 7 Box Set is stuffed with over 50 different episodes listed below. The great thing about this Box Set is that there is no particular order you must follow. There is a vast range of story lines for you to follow which do not overlap with episodes. You could start in reverse order and I guarantee unlike other programmes, you will fully understand from scene to scene without having a specific order to follow. This will allow you and others to view episodes individually at your own choice and leisure. Here you have an almost complete package of Classic British Comedy for both teenagers and adults. The only thing missing is that it does not feature each & every episode ever made for BBC Television. But the Box Set is a great introduction to those who have unfortunately not as of yet discovered 'Only Fools & Horses' as...

Review of Only Fools And Horses - The Complete Series 1 To 7 (Box Set) (DVD)

Jack and Sarah

Advantages: Good balance of comedy and drama, good performances, quirky.
Disadvantages: Horrid soundtrack, Samantha Mathis.

...The only reason I had a watch of Jack and Sarah was the constant comments I kept reading about how Kevin Smith's Jersey Girl was little more than a remake of it. While there are certainly some similar plot points, on the whole though I would say that the two are entirely different. The best part though was finding a nice little film that I probably would have missed otherwise. Walking the line between drama and comedy is not an easy one for any film. If you're trying to push serious themes, it becomes difficult to crack jokes at the same time. Likewise, a dramatic event in a comedic film can be a very jarring experience that works against the film. I'm glad to say though that Jack and Sarah balances between the two very steadily, only stumbling from time to time. The film focuses on Jack (Richard E Grant), a London lawyer who...

Review of Jack And Sarah (DVD)

Jack and Jamie!

Advantages: looks good, cheap
Disadvantages: can be hard to find

...I love Doctor Who, it's such an amazing show! It is a TV programme, aired on the BBC, about a Timelord named the Doctor (a Timelord travels around the universe saving the innocent from the evil creatures!). Doctor Who has been on and off our screens for many years, and has recently reappeared back in 2005 with the 9th Doctor played by Chris Eccleston. In this first series, we had a double episode, 'The Empty Child' and 'The Doctor Dances'. These episodes took us back to World War Two during the Blitz, when the Doctor takes his companion Rose (Billie Piper) back to London. Theyre, Rose meets a Time Agent called Captain Jack. Meanwhile, the Doctor has to try and solve a mystery - who is the little boy with the gas mask who keeps asking for his mummy? This little boy is also known as the Empty Child. The BBC have produced many 5" figures...
