Meet me in St Louis

Advantages: Magnificent skyline. Lots to do and see. Wonderful music heritage.
Disadvantages: A number of attractions not wheelchair accessible

...We first approached St Louis at twilight and were immediately charmed by the unusual skylight dominated by The Gateway Arch which was bathed in a warm amber glow. We had driven down from Chicago along Route 66 and were pretty tired so we has little time or energy to explore ? St Louis would have to wait until daylight. ~~What?s in a name~~ First faux-pas of our trip! My pronunciation of St Louis was as in the title of the Judy Garland film and song. Wrong! A local born and bred in St Louis soon corrected me. The English pronunciation is lu-is. Lu-ee is the French pronunciation little used within the city. St Louis is named after King Louis IX of France ? the only French king that was made into a saint. The city was founded by French explorers, Louis Joliet and Jacques Marquette in 1673. Saint Louis is often known as the Gateway City...

Review of St. Louis

Louis Armstrong

Advantages: The one and only
Disadvantages: none

...I love reggae music, especially Bob Marley, but if I am honest I also like a bit of Jazz, not any old Jazz though, when I say Jazz I mean Louis Armstrong. Louis Armstrong a Jazz musician that will not be forgotten and an act that will never be followed, some Jazz musicians will try and follow in his footsteps but non will succeed, Louis was unique. Who else could have that rough, gravel like voice that could become so famous, that famous smile and the twinkle in his eyes? Louis Armstrong (satchmo) the name he was well known as. Louis was born into a poor family from New Orleans on August 4th 1901. Sent away to a reform school for two years that?s when and where he first learned to play the coronet. After leaving reform school Louis was hired locally as a general dogsbody, but the music was in his bones and he frequently...

Review of Louis Tussaud's Waxworks, Blackpool

The formidable imagination of Louis de Bernieres

Advantages: Magical
Disadvantages: Surreal and dark: may not appeal to all

...Louis de Bernieres is certainly somewhere near the top of my favourite authors list (a list itself that only extends to six or seven writers – I’ve found so many more good books, but I’ve also found that one good book rarely means another one by the same person), and has risen to such an exalted position mainly due to his South American trilogy of which Senor Vivo and the Coca Lord forms the second. And for anyone who has read Captain Corelli’s Mandolin and wants some more of his writing (or for anyone who just wants a really good book) then I would heartily recommend this one, along with its two companions The War of Don Emmanuel’s Nether Parts, and The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman. Although I’ve read reviews claiming that this trilogy is not as sophisticated or mature as Captain Corelli...

Review of Senor Vivo and the Coca Lord - Louis De Bernieres

Louis Theroux: The Collection

Advantages: A decades worth of his best work
Disadvantages: Could do with more extras

...A hugely enjoyable 4-DVD box set and a must for all Louis fans. Including: WEIRD WEEKENDS: Porn, Head for the Hills,Swingers, Black Nationalism, Wrestling, South Africa,Thai brides, Gangsta Rap. Plus : WHEN LOUIS MET: Jimmy (Saville), Paul and Debbie (Daniels and Magee), Chris Eubank, Ann Widdecombe,and the all time classic......THE HAMILTONS!!!!......also included Louis and the Nazis, Louis and the Brothel and TV Nation clips. Louis uses his none- judgemental style to win over his subjects in most cases, allowing them to open up and expose their, eye-popping, cringeworthy, hilarious and blood boiling lives to the viewer. Louis' ability to contain his views is admirable, whilst slipping in the odd,brilliantly timed witty remark that has become his trademark over a decade of broadcasting. His time spent with Great British...

Review of Louis Phaethon Beach Hotel, Paphos

Louis palazzo di zante in Greece

Advantages: Food, kids club, family orientated, quiet resort, beach.
Disadvantages: Off the beaten track, nothing else around

...We stayed at the Louis Palazzo di zante for 2 weeks in August 2007 as a family of 4. It is in the resort of Vasilikos in south eastern zante and is situated together with its 2 sister hotels the Imperial and Royal overlooking the local beach with a lift from the Imperial down to the beach which is a godsend for those with kids. The Louis Palazzo di zante is a family orientated hotel with a venetian style canal within the complex with all the rroms overlooking it. We thought you could swim in it as others did we spoke to. When we got there we found it was a design ornamental feature only about 9 inches deep but very attractive. The room we stayed in was a family room consisting of 2 bedrooms and a bathroom and balcony. The bathroom is clean with toilet shower over the bath and basin. The 2 bedrooms have twin beds in each and the main...

A step in the right direction

Advantages: Well written and engaging with excellent characterisation and a good plot
Disadvantages: Over too quickly! Abrupt ending which is not altogether satisfying

...'Break the ice' Meet Armpit. He?s not had the best start in life, as you can probably already guess. He?s essentially a good kid who?s had a few unlucky breaks and after getting into a fight over some spilled popcorn at a cinema he was sent to the now infamous ?juvenile correctional facility? known as Camp Green Lake. The facility was more like a slave labour camp run by a cohort of crooked guards who were using the child labour to attempt to uncover a stash of treasure which legend suggested was buried under the long dried out lake bed. The trials and adventures of this story can be found in the widely acclaimed predecessor to this book, ?Holes? (now also a major film), also by Louis Sachar. However even if you haven?t previously read Holes, it won?t take you long at all to get deeply involved in the new stage of Armpit...

Disadvantages: Veggie, tea-total, non-smoking, hell raiser(!!)

...01. What time is it? 19:47 02. Name? Zoltan Louis, that's my pen name, user name etc. Zoltan is my favourite name of all time, Louis is my sons first name. 03.
