Advantages: Rock solid company managing the fund.
Disadvantages: Abysmal growth record. Fund too large.

...I bought into M&G Recovery in 1988. It was my first ever Unit Trust. Boy was I impressed with the past performance. £1000 would have grown to £69000 in the previous 25 years. I was so impressed that I started a unit trust savings scheme and kept it going for 12 years. The fund performed well in the early years but the growth was nearer to linear than exponential. This meant that each years growth was a smaller percentage than the previous year. In 1998 it suffered serious losses when world markets crashed due to the problems in the far east. It took over a year to recover its original price (much longer than the vast majority of funds) and has gone nowhere since. I sold out in January this year, just after it recovered its 1998 value. Having held it for 12 years, I didn't do too badly, but its performance over the last five... Read review

...software AsusMap and you will get extern antenna. As i tested in the most case is the internal antenna good enough to have a good signal. Display 13.3" has got 1280x800 resolution that is an average, but there is no need for better resolution since it is a small sized display. Colors are good and display has got a wide range to adjust backlight and there is no problem to use it comfortably on daylight.

Advantages: All the parks are next to each other, easy to get to.
Disadvantages: So popular there is sometimes ling ques.

..., was hand carved and is now covered in 325 beautifull animals, and inside is a great 3-d show. Camp minnie mickey is a great place to find minnie and mickey themeselves and also a spectacular version of the west end show the festival of the lion king. You will find this park shuts early so the animals can rest so you need to get around the park quite quickly. Or find magic hours when the park opens early for disney hotel customers which will help you get round the park a lot quicker and less stressful. M-G-M STUDIOS. M-g-m studios is a place beyong belief. You will have to plan an order of how to do the park becaused there is just soo much to do. The main things you need to see/do are. *Tower of terror *Aerosmith rockin roller coaster *Indiana jones stunt show. *backlot tour *Muppets 3-d *lights camera action stunt show... Read review

...of its citizens. It is a true melting pot of different people, cultures, and languages. The city is also home to some of the most high tech industries in India. Bangalore identifies itself more with Delhi - the capital city of India or Bombay - considered as business capital of India, than the rest of Karnataka. Though Kannada is the state language English and Hindi are most widely spoken and understood. Reaching there: Though Bangalore has an international airport but check out if there is a flight from your city if not you have to reach Mumbai or Delhi or Chennai then catch a domestic Indian Airlines flight or any other private airlines flight to Bangalore. These cities operates multiple flights daily to Bangalore. Bangalore Airport is located about 8 km from the M.G. Road area in the city. Airport coach transfers run by the Karnataka... Read review

Advantages: A Fabulous, Good Value Read of the Life of Judy Garland
Disadvantages: None. Unless You Dont Like the Work and Life of Judy Garland

...the hearts of America's audiences and it didn't take long before big names were hearing of this little girl with a big talent. By the 1930s Garland had already been signed by the major film company M-G-M. However, Garland now a teenager, had gained some puppy fat and of course within the film industry having a slight tummy is unacceptable so of course she needed those necessary diet pills we all have heard about. Ok so they slimmed out a chubby Garland, but what about when she couldn't sleep because they made her hyperactive or that she fell asleep on set because they made her drowsy? Or the fact that they decided to then give this twelve year old young growing girl tablets to make her lose weight and then some tablets to help her sleep and then of course to finish off this lovely list they included tablets to keep her awake and stimulated...

...I watched this quite a bit in the days when I was too poor (or was it too mean?) to subscribe to the Sky Movies package. Started by the famous Ted Turner (he of CNN fame), it largely constitutes the entire film library of M G M in its glory days. Most of its output is pretty unmemorable 30s and 40s films (remember, there was almost no TV in those days), but it regularly rescreens such gems as Ben-Hur, Casablanca and Doctor Zhivago - usually in the original widescreen (letter-box) format (though even with my 28" TV, I sometimes feel I need binnoculars!)....

...As a bookworm, I decided to look around for a new book to read in my spare time. Looking on amazon I came up with this book - 'Can you Keep a Secret?' by Sophie Kinsella. Its cover enticed me and after reading the back I decided this was the book for me. This is what it says: Emma is like every girl in the world. She has a few little secrets... 1. I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom to Danny Nussbaum while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching Ben Hur. 2. I'm a size 12 not a size 8 like Connor thinks. 3. I always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken. 4. When Artemis really annoys me, I feed her plant orange juice (which is pretty much every day) 5. It was me who jammed the photocopier that time. In fact, all the times. 6. M G string is hurting me. 7. I faked my maths GCSE grade on my CV. 8. I have... Read review

...If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it). If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!) The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (O.M.G.!) A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (In my next life, I want to be a pig.) A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.) (I'm still not over the pig.) Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Do not try this at home...... maybe at work.) The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male... Read review
