Chill out in the Living Room, Manchester

Advantages: Great location, food and decor
Disadvantages: Queues!!!!!!

...The Living Room Manchester What is it? The Living Room is a luxurious bar and restaurant located in the heart of Manchester on trendy Deansgate in a great location for shopping and nights out. There are lots of other bars and restaurants surrounding the Living Room (including places such as Est, Est, Est, Pizza Express, Cafe Rouge etc) and it is only five + minutes walk away from Victoria train station. What's there? As you enter on the ground floor you are in the bar area which is known as the living room. Here you can eat during the day (you can also opt to eat upstairs in the dining room, but you tend to need to book more often than not to eat upstairs) as well as enjoy the wide range of drinks and the great coffee (I love the cappuccino here). The prices are pretty much in line with most other city centre bars...

Review of The Living Room

The Living Room - London Heddon Street

Advantages: Great venue, great choice!
Disadvantages: please water the christmas tree!

...Having been reccomended The Living Room as a place to eat I booked my work christmas lunch at The Living Room in Piccadilly (Heddon Street). There was a set menu for pre-bookings which was £35 per head for a three course. We did not have to book in advance just pay £5 per head deposit (which is then taken off the bill). We arrived on time and were seated straight away upstairs. We had a table that was plenty big enough for our party of 8 (although one person couldn\'t come at the last minute). The menu looked fantastic is was hard to decide what to choose. In each of the starter and main options there was two meat, a fish and a vegetarian option. Starters: Butternut squash soup, muchroom ravioli and rissotto, pork roulade or smoked salmon. Mains: Traditional Turkey, 7hr braised beef, Seabass or baked goats cheese. Deserts...

Xbox Live - It's another world

Advantages: Superb experience
Disadvantages: Its not free

...room where you can invite your friends to regardless of what game they are playing. This means you could have 5 or 6 of your mates online, all playing different games but still able to chat with each other across the Xbox Live service. The party function also works if you are all playing the same game although, if you are in this channel, you will not be able to speak to your opponent directly if they are not in the party. Netflix Movies If you are already a member of Netflix, who personally I have not heard of, you are able to watch a vast array of movies and tv programmes via your Xbox, free of charge. These videos are streamed directly onto the Xbox. As I am not a Netflix member and am not prepared to use the pay per view option, I am unable to comment any further on this feature.

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 - Xbox Live Gold Membership Card

Xbox live

Advantages: Online gaming, good value, networking
Disadvantages: Some lag, temptation to spend more money on extras

...Xbox Live is good value compared to some other online subscriptions e.g. World of Warcradt or Everquest as with these you pay everymonth just for one game, whereas with xbox live you only pay once to go online with pretty much all your games. You then get tempted, however, to pay for extra online contect such as extra levels, characters, backdrops for your xbox live dashboard, arcade games etc. etc. So it's never as cheap as it seems! The service on xbox live is good and it's rare to have connection issues so gameplat online tends to be smooth. Occasionally you may shoot at someone only to find they already moved- lag is rare but does happen and can be annoying. The range of games that can be played online is excellent, and isn't just shooting and fighting! Guitar hero plays online brilliantly with options for guitar battles...

Review of Panic Room (DVD)

Live Review

Advantages: Play with friends all around the world.
Disadvantages: Only lasts for 1 year.

...The live 12 month gold card enables the player to play online for a year. When i first received it i accessed it very quickly and was surprised to see how easily i was able to get online and play with millions of people all around the world. All i needed to do was enter the code and i could start playing. The benefits of going live is mainly playing against people all around the world and making new friends. But if you are a hardcore gamer, this is the perfect place to be as you get to challenge the best around the world and you even get ranked. What's more is that you can even download exclusive things only from the xbox live marketplace where you can't get from anywhere else. Overall: A must get for all xbox 360 owners. It completes the console and makes the xbxo 360 that much better....

Kylie in your living room

Advantages: Proves Kylie is a singer and gives a great show
Disadvantages: Import only can be expensive

...The lights at the theatre were flashing, the excited fans could wait no longer, she had arrived in town, on the very shores of her native land and it was good to see her back! Who? No other than the almighty Kylie Minogue. Date: 30th June & 1st July 1998 Venue: Capitol Theatre – Sydney, Australia Performing live Ms Kylie Minogue – Sold Out! Yes that’s right here we have a first for Kylie on CD, nearly two whole hours of live extravaganza on one double CD set. The show mainly concentrates on the album simply named ‘Kylie Minogue’ (Impossible Princess or IP to those in the know!). This was the period when Kylie was going through her deep dark, serious and arty phase, which by many was deemed to be a bad move, this resulted in the album ‘Kylie Minogue’ (IP) hitting bargain buckets in...
