LeRoyal Meridien Family Break

Advantages: First Class Hotel
Disadvantages: Alot of development ongoing nearby

...Le Royal Meridien Spa Beach Resort and Spa Have stayed at the Meridien Spa twice now and it has to have been one of the best hotels I have stayed in. If we are flying through Dubai it is the only place the family will stay in for a couple of days stop over. Upon arrival in Dubai, after negotiating the immigration queues. LeMeridien will meet you (if prearranged) and drive you to the resort. The hotel is situated about 25 minutes from the airport and 20 minutes from the centre of Dubai. Taxis are available but last time I visited it was a nightmare trying to find one at 3 in the morning! You cannot walk from your hotel into town unless you are mad! Wild Wadi is close by, 10 minutes by taxi. Upon arrival everything is taken care of, your luggage taken to your room while you register and sign in. Welcome drinks upon arrival...

The Royal Wee

Advantages: Easy toclean
Disadvantages: My son removes wee defender

...My son?s Royal Throne I bought my son a royal potty from Argos after visiting a friend when he was one year old and Although I considered him to be to young to consider potty training I did want him to have a potty around so that it was a familiar item. What is the Royal Potty? It is a potty that appears to be more comfortable than a normal potty as it is shaped liked a throne with arms and a back. It also has a splash protector at the front designed for little boys more than girls. It also has an additional function that is a fanfare sound when the child passes urine that is activated by the sensor. It is made with plastic that is easy to wipe. It also came with a sticker reward chart My experience First experience When I first bought the potty we were living in temporary accommodation so I...

Le Samourai

Advantages: Great Film
Disadvantages: Viewing Aspect ratio is Low

...Le Samourai There is a small bird in a cage in a dull looking apartment room, a man wearing a trench coat and a felt hat, and he goes out of the room and adjusts his hat. Jeff Costello (Alain Delone) then jumps into a car, with a set of master keys. He starts the car, and smokes a cigarette. Eventually he finds the right key by good luck and drives off. He then meets a criminal mechanic. The mechanic gives Jeff some cash, later goes to his pocket and gives him a gun. Here during this scene not a word is spoken. This film is low on dialogue though maintains a great sense of direction, pace and focus throughout. The suspense of each scene and the plot is amazing to watch. He then goes to a flat and meets a young woman who is named Jane (Anthoine Delone). She is a woman who is there to provide an alibi for Jeff. It does not...

Review of Le Samourai DVD

Casino Royale

Advantages: Action packed movie, Mindboggling story
Disadvantages: None

...Well I'm a great fan of James bonds movies. And i must admit, choosing Daniel Craig as the 007 agent was a very good decision. He acts very maturely and no doubt suits the role very properly. Well the story starts with Agent 007 in a mission turned into havoc. His ego is the main problem what causes James to make miscalculated actions. His actions lead to embarrassment to the whole British government. He is on the pursuit of a global terrorist network. James. The commanding officer, agent M (Dame Judi Dench) is a very short tempered person. Shes ready to cut his career down to pieces of he doesn't control his temper and ego. Following story comes with the usual trail of fancy cars and beautiful women in Bond's investigations. This leads him to world's most deadliest terrorist and money rollers, Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen). In...

le cercle rouge

Advantages: Read Opp
Disadvantages: Read Opp

...le cercle rouge Directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, this film is similar to his previous film Le Samourai, in that there are good guys and bad, and there are the cops and robbers. The translation of the title meaning the Red Circle was based upon a Buddhist motto about those people who are destined to meet, eventually will. In this film the types of scenes included are an escaping prisoner, murder scene, police man-hunt, mob battles and an armed robbery to steal diamonds. The film starts off showing a German named train running through I would guess Paris. Though scene by scene the actors performances and directions really smartly executed and cool to watch. Corey, who has just been released from prison on good behaviour notice from the police, is given a job to do by a Prison Guard. Inspector Bourvil is escorting...

Casino Royale Review

Advantages: Tense, fast paced, engaging action
Disadvantages: Poker scenes may bore some

...Casino Royale marks Daniel Craig's first outing as 007, James Bond. In it he must stop Le Chiffre, a banker to the world's terrorist organizations, from winning a high-stakes poker tournament at Casino Royale in Montenegro. I was one of those people who was originally skeptical about Craig's casting. I grew up with Pierce Brosnan as Bond and I didn't know if I could accept someone else in that role. Sufficed to say, I needn't have worried. Craig is a different kind of Bond, he's not as outwardly flashy as Brosnan and he's more quietly confident. But the style, the attitude and the finesse of his Bond is reminiscent of Sean Connery, you could say he is more of the thinking mans bond. As for the film, it's exciting, well acted, tense and has a great story too. Bond and Vespa have a great chemistry together, as do Bond with 'M...

Casino Royale with Cheese

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...fleet market, if the bomb had hit the plane, Chiffre would have been a rich man, however as Bond had stopped the bomb, Le Chiffre must now get his clients money back and thus organizes a game of high-stakes Texas hold 'em tournament at the Casino Royale in Montenegro, to which Bond is invited. Who wins the game, does Le Chiffre get his money, what happens to Bond and who can he trust? Watch the film to find out. Characters: Daniel Craig as James Bond: I think most people must have read the news when Craig was cast as the new James Bond, their was a huge outcry, people felt he wasn't the appropriate choice and threaten to boycott the film, they though he was too "Blond" and therefore would ruin the legacy of Bond, but filming still went ahead regardless of this bad publicity. For me Craig really shut up his critics and the fans that...

The Royal Albion Hotel, Brighton

Advantages: great location, cheap, nice rooms, excellent food
Disadvantages: no parking, quite dated

...Introduction to the hotel: The Royal Albion Hotel was built in 1826 and is situated in a fantastic location opposite Brighton pier. It is a three star hotel and has 186 guest rooms offering views of Brighton beach or the town centre. My experience of the hotel: I spent one night in the hotel in January of this year and for a three star hotel I was quite impressed. I and my girlfriend booked a double room for £55 and it was a spacious room with a four poster bed, couch, satellite television, fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and a lovely modern bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath. When we checked in the hotel staff asked us if we would like to upgrade to a room with a Jacuzzi batch for £10, we said no, but were a bit intrigued to find one anyways - they had obviously given our room away and were trying to get the extra £10 out...

The Expérience Cinématique that is Le Grand Rex

Advantages: Good atmosphere, la Grande Salle,
Disadvantages: Expensive, small screens

...Going to the cinema during your visit to Paris might not top of your list of things to do, but Le Grand Rex is certainly not your everyday cinema. Histoire Le Grand Rex was opened in 1932 and is the oldest cinema in Paris. It has a long and interesting history, from its opening night on the 8th of December 1932, attended by a ritzy, glitzy list of 3,300 VIPs, to its occupation by the German soliders, who used it as a place to watch propaganda films. The building is decorated in a typical art deco style, whilst the inside, particularly the 'Grande Salle' - the biggest room, which also boasts the biggest screen in Europe - is a mixture of art deco and baroque style. Le Grand Rex is also home to a night club - Rex Club - which is attached to the building and is right next door. However, in the many times I've visited, this has...

Whats so Royal about it?

Advantages: Easy way to send things
Disadvantages: Mail gets lost/damaged, Unreliable

...I'm just going to speak about my experience with royal mail. I have to comment on how bad my experience has been with them. I sell a lot of items off of ebay and always take the bits to the post office myself. I used to just sent these items by normal 1st or 2nd class post how-ever some of these items kept getting lost so I now have to send all packages by recorded delivery. Even though I send packages by recorded delivery, some of these parcels still go missing and although I have a tracking number it can take months to claim any money back for compensation, etc. I also want to comment on me receiving parcels at my house. A lot of the time packages/parcels are just left on the door step and most of the things I order have to be signed for. I received about 5 parcels in 1 week, all were meant to be signed for and I only got...
