2008

Advantages: i did ok
Disadvantages: some stresses and strains

...1) What did you do in 2008 that you have not done before? I taught English to a class of Germans over the summer. I was terrified when asked to do it but absolutely loved it and was a brilliant experience. 2) Did anyone close to you give birth? Not that I can think of although almost I have 7 friends who are currently pregnant and expecting their babies very soon! 3) Did anyone close to you die? No one particularly close to, but someone that I admired very much. A local man who was well known for his dedication to the local carnival and his yearly appearances as father Christmas at various occasions. I had know him since I was little and he was short, a little overweight with a white beard. Throughout our childhood, my brother and I as well as our friends were utterly convinced that he was the real father Christmas! He was...

The Sound of Silence Lexus LS430

Advantages: Class. Just sheer class.
Disadvantages: Nothing

...When I write a car review, I generally try to give as balanced an opinion as possible in regard to a cars? relative merits or failings. The problem I faced when sitting down to write this review of the new model Lexus LS430, from Japanese manufacturers Toyota, was to find ANYTHING bad, or even slightly negative, to say about it. I have a friend in the limousine business, which explains how I found myself invited along for the morning as he put one of these beauties through its paces on an extended test drive. To be driven in a car of this refinement and luxury is a rare experience, to be savoured and relived for months afterwards. This car is an upgraded version of the ?old? Lexus LS400. The first thing that strikes you about the Lexus is the noise. Or rather, the absolute lack of it! Passengers and driver quite literally glide...

My 2008

Advantages: Lots of highs
Disadvantages: Lots of lows too

...2008 was a pretty rubbish year for me, although I leannt a lot about myself along the way. 1) What did you do in 2008 that you have not done before? I drove to Devon all by myself which is actualy the longest car journey I have ever done (Dover to Devon). I have been driving for 7 years but the longest drive I have done alone before that one was about an hour so driving to Devon (which took about 5 hours) was a big step for me. I also gave up smoking on 13th October and so far I am still a non smoker so I would like to say that I have actually cracked it this time and have finally managed to kick the habit as this is the longest I have ever managed to give up for. 2) Did anyone close to you give birth? Not actually give birth no but my brother girlfriend found out she is pregnant and she is due in the middle of February so...

My 2008

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...1)What did you do in 2008 that you have not done before? I started writing reviews on the internet, I started going to full contact kickboxing training sessions with some black belts (I'm one belt away from being half way there) and some of the other students in my class which was intense, I learned how to fix several thing to do with my car which will be pretty useful in future, I got to see the Ultimate Fighting Championships live, and I started eating chicken. 2) Did anyone close to you give birth? My cousin had her second child (congrats Shev), one of my other cousin's celebrated having his second child on the way, and a good friend who moved to Manchester has celebrated his first just last month. 3) Did anyone close to you die? No thankfully after the last couple of years when both relatives and friends...

uefa euro 2008 pc

Advantages: Read Opp
Disadvantages: Read Opp

...this Computer Game is developed by Electronic Arts. It is also available on a number of console platforms such as ps3, xbox and Wii. The setting of the Game is the European Championships held this year (2008) in both Austria and Switzerland. installing the game is easy and takes approximately ten minutes to fully install. I did not encounter any problems at this stage. Even when the installation process is complete the dvd needs to be kept in the computers dvd drive, otherwise the game comes to a stand still and there is an alert message saying to re insert the Disk in the drive. uefa Euro 2008 succeeds where other previous versions have failed. each team is given a quality standard mark out of five stars. For example England has four and a half stars, Greece has three and a half. This makes it very difficult to score...

Looking Back at 2008

Advantages: Lots of diffrent points about diffrent thing that have happened in 2008
Disadvantages: It's my opinion

...2008 is over tonight and I thought I'd honour it with this review on my 2008, on things that have happened to me, and movies that I have watched, music that I have listened too and finally news from around the world. 6 hours to go before the fireworks go off and I'm already getting through left over liquor from Christmas. I apologise if there's considerable spelling and grammar mistakes, I don't think there is but you never know. JANUARY Heath Ledger ------------------- January 22nd of 2008, I woke up and heard that one of my favourite actors was dead. Not only was that bad, but he had apparently killed himself (at the time they didn't know it was accidental). This was a big shock however it was great to see him in The Dark Knight, where he gave the best performance of his life. P.S I Love You...

No gold medal for Beijing 2008

Advantages: Good online multiplayer, excellent graphics
Disadvantages: Controls, no story line

...Satisfactory sporting games are often hard to come by, especially for those of us wanting to experience a variety of events. Luckily, Beijing 2008 just made the cut. For the first time ever, Olympics fans have gained the chance to try their hand at running, swimming, shooting, jumping and much more from the comfort of their own homes. Sounds like a dream, and the game really did have some great features, but there were also some huge disappointments. .Graphics. Excellent graphics, in my opinion, are important in any good game, and Sega certainly didn't let us down here. Whether you're mid-race in a running event or getting ready to dive into the pool, you can always depend on the stunning looks of the surroundings. Simply everything is life-like, and the athletes become real as they cross the finish line first, last or somewhere in...

The Lexus of Soarer Forums

Advantages: friendly, helpful, free, full of advice, parts for sale section, cars for sale section
Disadvantages: none

...A great place for Soarer (lexus/Toyota Soarer / SC400) owners to exchange information on some of the most underrated cars ever made. The Soarer club is a font of information about mechanical, electrical, bodywork and all such aspects. You quickly get help from the regulars and its a great place to pick up parts in the unlikely event your Soarer goes wrong. I joined just before I bought my Soarer and actually bought it from a member on there. I find it much friendlier than comparative places in the UK. The members are friendly and there is no membership fee. Once registered, you have access to the variety of forums including General, Mechanical, Electrical, Bodywork, Ask the Members, Parts for Sale and Meetings and Events. There is a for sale section on the site where people can sell their Soarers which is well worth a look...

...Hi this is going to be a review on the game Beijing Olympics 2008 for the Xbox 360 Lets get on with it! Well this game is amazing there is loads of different games (38 over 10 sports) which makes it last for ever. I will talk a bit about a few of the games now 100 Metres in this game you have to use the left right thumb stick or rapidly press A and B like most of the running games there is one problem when using the thumb stick it hurts!!!

My Games Of The Year 2008

Advantages: A life? I have plenty of lives left!
Disadvantages: Continue? Are you sure you want to continue?

...Looking back at 2008: what were the best games I played (preferably to completion)? Here's the annual Scream4bruce awards! BEST FPS: Whilst about the only FPS I found to be above-average this year, and a step backwards from TimeSplitters: Future Perfect (which was my pick last year), TimeSplitters is as super-smooth as it is solid. (Both being the PS2 versions.) BEST FIGHTING OR BEAT-EM-UP: I still have a smashing time beating up my brother (or vice versa) at Super Smash Bros. (N64), but my pick is a beat-em-up, of which Streets of Rage (SMD) is streets ahead of its competitors. Despite the sequel tending to be the series fans favourite, for me, first is best. BEST SPORTS: Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PS2) comes close to being the best in the series that I have played, but Top Ranking Tennis (GB) has been top drawer - better than...
