Rey Juan Carlos

Advantages: Located within the business district and ideal for airport
Disadvantages: Nightlife is a good taxi ride away

...Hotel Rey Juan Carlos I Avenue Diagonal 661-671 Barcelona 08028 Spain (t) +34 933 644 040 Language: Catalan Currency: Euros Climate: Mediterranean ~~~~~~~~ Background ~~~~~~~~ The hotel is a complex, known locally as the Royal Complex, which comprises the 5-star Rey Juan Carlos Hotel, the Palau de Congressos de Catalunya (Conference Centre), along with extensive leisure facilities.

Richard and Judy

Advantages: light entertainment
Disadvantages: you can forget that you're watching it

...So the king and queen of daytime T.V have upped sticks and moved to the ungodly hour of 5pm on channel 4 leaving This morning Richard and Judy less. Their new show is called and is shown between 5 and 6pm on weekdays. I?ve been off work after an operation for a couple of weeks, so I?ve been watching lots of daytime T.V. So I?ve been able to watch this programme, usually I?d be just getting home from work when it?s nearly finished. Which brings me to the point that the 5-6 time slot is a strange time for a talk show, it?s not quite daytime T.V or an evening slot. Thinking about Richard and Judy?s former incarnation on This Morning, I?d say that the first difference I noticed was the set. The studio is very blue and turquoise with an art deco look. Judy has been vamped up, for want of a better word: plunging neck lines, short skirts...

Review of Channel 4: Richard & Judy

Richard & Judy

Advantages: The range of guests they have on their show.
Disadvantages: Richard interrupts & talks with his mouth full!

...'Richard and Judy', former presenters of 'This Morning', are now presenting their own daytime show on Channel 4 - aptly named 'Richard and Judy'! This is a lifestlye programme. It is aired each and every weekday at 5pm and lasts for 1 hour. What I like about the programme is that they have a varied selection of guests on there every day. Today, for instance, they had Noel Edmunds on the show (27 July '06). They have interviewed many people ranging from J K Rowling (26 June '06), Barry Manilow (04 March '05) and Ben Affleck (12 January '04). Although each show has the same standard layout each day, the content is different. They cover topical issues that could be something that has been on the news or in the newspapers. They will get certain experts in to discuss these issues and, as with any discussion, there'll be someone who...

Review of Shameless - Judy Collins

Discover The Power ... Of Judy Blume!

Advantages: Great read, engaging, realistic, enjoyable, memorable.
Disadvantages: None

...INTRODUCTION I loved reading Judy Blume's books as a child. They were a bit risqué, exciting, real. They were about kids you could relate to, kids growing up, kids with issues and problems many of us shared. Her books were a part of my childhood. A few years ago, Judy Blume started publishing books for adults, but somehow, I never got round to buying or reading them. Then my friend Hannah recommended the novel Summer Sisters, not just as a casual "You'd like this?" but in a way which radiated her own infectious love and enthusiasm for the book. So I read it, finishing it around 1am this morning. I am very glad I did. SYNOPSIS The novel follows the lives of two American women - Victoria 'Vix' Leonard and Caitlin Somers - from 1977 until 1996. You see them grow up from twelve to thirty-something and you become lucky observers...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Advantages: Design/Quality
Disadvantages: Price/

...WWE Vivid Imaginations Mark Henry and Rey Mysterio Review Mark Henry is better known in the WWE as the Worlds Strongest Man,he has never however won a major title like the WWE Title but yet is a force to be messed with.Rey Mysterio is a major superstar former World Heavyweight Champion beating Randy Orton and Kurt Angle to take that title.

Mysterio has been given his blue attire nothing fancy about it just plain blue not like the one he has currently.He has got his mask as well and his details on the body...

The Life and Works of Judy Garland

Advantages: A Fabulous, Good Value Read of the Life of Judy Garland
Disadvantages: None. Unless You Dont Like the Work and Life of Judy Garland

...A moving, inspirational and insightful book of the Life and Works of the Talented and Intriguing Character that is Judy Garland I chose this book based on one reason and one reason only, because I knew that Hollywood was a dangerous place and being a great admirer of Judy Garland's work and strength and wanting to grow up into that profession, knew it would be a book that would give me an insight to how life will challenge me. To be able to read her biography was an honour to somebody like me who has done nothing but be in ore of her and her voice since as far back as I can remember. Now that I have read this book I have now learnt so much about the person I want to be, the career path I want to take and the sort of life I want to prevent. The language within the book is both complex and very in-depth. It left me both emotional...

Review of Judy Garland (A Biography) - Anne Edwards

Jumped up Judy

Advantages: could be good with more interesting cases
Disadvantages: judge judy id too rude for words,the people on it need to learn how to discuss things between themselves

...This show is from the very same vein as Jerry Springer...a programme revealing the dirt about American working class people.The only difference is that this time,the referee is Judge Judy Scheindling. Funnily enough,Judge Judy is actually a judge and is in charge of things as the defendant and the prosecuters fight it out .This seems like a good concept,I know,butthe things that these people argue over are ridiculous.There was one particular episode which sticks in my mind,when a woman and her estranged lover were fighting (almost physically) over their dog's kennel fee.Does this really require 25 minutes of airtime? Judge Judy herself is one of the main reasons i stopped watching this show.O.K you're a judge but come on ,there's no need to be so harsh to your guests.It's a regular occurance to see Judge Judy telling the people on her...
