Bite sized King

Advantages: A good collection of short Stephen King classics
Disadvantages: Some of the stories aren't upto standard

...I love to read Stephen kings novels, but sometimes find that I'm up past the wee small hours, trying to find out how they end. What I needed was a book filled with some of his shorter stories, and this is where Night Shift comes into it's own. Comprising of twenty short stories, each of which can easily be read within an hour or so. The Author ************* Born in Portland, Maine in 1947, Stephen King is a prolific writer, dealing mainly in the macabre. He has written many novels, both in his own name and under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. Many of his novels have been adapted for the screen, and in fact a few of the stories in this book have had such treatment, one so successfully that I have no fewer than four films in the Children Of The Corn series in my own collection. The Stories ************** What follows is...

Review of Night Shift - Stephen King

King of all bars

Advantages: Delicious chocolate bar
Disadvantages: none!

...I was always a fan of the Kit-Kat bars, even when they were only the thin sticks. So you can probaly guess how excited I was when I heard Nestle had released a Kit Kat Chunky! The two or four thin fingers were never enough for me, and even a Kit Kat Chunky isn't really. But as for 'the beast' of the Kit Kat World, the Kit Kat Chunky King Size, well what can I say - I'm in heaven when I am munching on one of them, and them seem to fill me. In the UK, Kit Kats have been in popular demand and the launch of the new Chunky versions means that Nestle have now become even more in demand. The Kit Kat Chunky is wrapped in the firmilar red wrapper and the well-know Kit Kat logo on it, with 'Chunky' written underneath it. The wrapper is foil wrapped and is very easy to open as it has 'Break here' section. A Kit Kat Chunky (KKC) is basically...

Does size matter?

Advantages: great graphics and gameplay
Disadvantages: poor sound

...Back in 2002, a game was created that has never really been seen before. The game combined the longevity and puzzle elements of a platformer, with the firepower of a shooter. Ratchet and clank was born, and the series of games since have never really deviated from the original blueprint. At the end of the day, if a thing isn't broke, then why fix it? So, our favourite (and only.) lombax, and robot duo are back, for one more outing. What exactly a lombax is, I dont know but the closest thing I could compare him to is a fox. Size matters, is the first time that the duo have ventured onto the portable consoles. I can say that the conversion has been a happy one, and none of the fun or excitment of its big console twins has been lost. In this installment, our two heroes are on the beach, on holiday. A young girl fan finds them...

Review of Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters (PSP)

Size Matters

Advantages: Sharp, funny and informative
Disadvantages: Made me crave fast food

...Having heard that two obese teenagers were suing McDonald?s for making them fat, film-maker Morgan Spurlock decided to see what would happen if he ate nothing but McDonald?s food and drink, three meals a day for thirty days. ?Super Size Me? is the result. The idea for ?Super Size Me? came to director Spurlock after an enormous Thanksgiving meal at his mother?s house. His producer said that it was ?a really great bad idea? and the rest, as they say is history. The rules of engagement were simple; Spurlock could only eat and drink items available over-the-counter at McDonald?s, he had to eat three meals a day from the chain, he had to eat everything on the menu at least once and if he was offered the chance to super size his meal, he had to accept. Thankfully he wasn?t stumbling blindly into this endeavour ? he had a back-up team...

King of Queens

Advantages: Funny, good characters
Disadvantages: None

...King of Queens is an American sitcom set in New York. The King in question is Doug Heffernan and the Queens they relate to is actually the suburb of New York he lives in with his wife Carrie. I think this title is a really clever play on words and sets the scene for quite a funny sitcom in my opinion. Doug and Carrie are the main couple in this sitcom and it?s really them that the whole show revolves around. They have a nice relationship but bicker like most couples and they really play on each others stereotypes to get the laughs out of the audience. For example Doug is rather fat and so they definitely play this up on the show. He is generally always eating my Carrie facilitates this by buying him or making him his favourite foods. Doug is played by the very funny Kevin James who has been in movies such as Hitch, I Now Pronounce You...

Is Size Important?

Advantages: Great photos and lots of educational values.
Disadvantages: See review.

...- The Book - This is a non-fiction book and as the name suggests it's focus is on size and the associated vocabulary: * big and small - This double page shows 2 ?big? things, an elephant and a skyscraper, adjacent to which are many photos of small things such as paper clips, grapes, buttons, marbles etc. * big, bigger, biggest - Chilldren are invited to draw comparisons between three living things from a big toucan to the biggest out of the three, a hippo. * small, smaller, smallest - Again there are photos of animals and objects, varying in size from small to the smallest. * tall and short - The concept of tall and short is then introduced on a double page with a photo of a tall giraffe next to a short dog and a tall sunflower next to short daisies etc. It would have been even better if the author had extended this...

The King Of Gaming!

Advantages: Lots Of Games And Different Prizes To Choose From, Well Laid Out Site
Disadvantages: King.com Take A Fairly Big Cut

...I joined King.com about two years ago. I was previously a member of the itbox site which was similar but no where near as good and was closed down. When it closed down I had to look for a new a new site of this type and found King.com very high up in Google results by typing something like 'skill games for money'. What Is King.com? King.com is, as mentioned above, a website offering a range of skill games which can be played for money. Basically you choose from the very extensive list of games and then choose a stake and you then play that game and your score is compared to someone else's, the higher score of the two wins the cash prize. You don't have to play for money, all the games can also be played just for fun and then you will just earn jewels if you win, I will explain jewels later. As they offer true skill games, it...

The King Of Buffets

Advantages: Nice atmosphere, tasty food
Disadvantages: Not that many vegetarian choices

...I had heard many people rave about Buffet King but had never managed to visit it myself. When I had a friend staying I decided that a buffet would be a great place for a meal as you can guarantee that there will be something that we both liked there and it would be informal and reasonably priced. Situated in Carnegie Drive, the restaurant is just a minutes walk from the bus station and there is also ample parking in the council owned car parks across the road. It?s easy to see the appeal of a buffet, you get to fill your plate with as many tasty morsels as your stomach can hold but I have found that the quality varies greatly, lets see how Buffet King measures up. The restaurant was fairly quiet on the Sunday evening we visited which surprised me given how many people have told me about how great it is. We were seated straight away...

Review of Buffet King, Dunfermline

Latina Size into your favourite dress

Advantages: You do tone up
Disadvantages: You need a good space to perform the routines properly

...Well at the start of the year I promised myself instead of talking about toning up I would actually this time do something about it....surprisingly I did and I feel great. One of the tools I used in my bid to shape up and get fit for Summer was the brilliant Latina Size dvd. As a fan of Strictly Come Dancing I thought this would be a fun way to shape up (and I liked the idea of learning some moves!). The dvd is broke down into 5 sections: Simply Salsa, Rumba Tone, Jump 'n' Jive, Cha Cha Burn and Sambasize. Each one targets a different part of your body so you can alternate depending on what you want to work out. I got into the routine of focusing on the Jump 'n' Jive sections at least twice a week to help tone the dreaded thighs! There is also a warm up and cool down section. Lilia's goes through all the moves first showing...

Review of Latina Size (DVD)

The king of burgers?

Advantages: Good food, quality
Disadvantages: Price, urban myths

...I admit that for some reason, I seem to be addicted to everything that I shouldn't be. I have tried & failed to have an addiction to fruit and vegetables, so I have settled for my addiction to chocolate and junk food, and convince myself that when I go to somewhere like Burger King, because of the lettuce etc on burgers, it is actually healthy! Burger King is possibly the only chain restaurant where I have found the taste of products to be consistent. Every Burger King I've been in, apart from one in Scotland, has tasted the same, which I like, as I know then what I'm getting when I order it! Burger King is slightly more expensive than other similar fast food places, but in my opinion, slightly better. a meal costs aprox £4, but there is the options to have meals as regular, large or supersize, which comes with what looks like...
