JUNK MAIL

Advantages: Human interest stories?
Disadvantages: Is this really news?

...Before I write this review, I should in advacne apologise to those who read the Daily Mail everyday as their paper of choice, this is not a reflection on you or how you see the world, but more how I view it. I am sure that deep down those that choose to read this paper have some great qualities. There are a few things in life that I am loathed to admit to, yet I think it is time that I cam eout of the closet and admitted that yes.... I do *gulp* read the Daily Mail online everyday. Now to some of you no doubt this will not be shocking, it is after all a very popular newspaper in the UK and one read by millions of people up and down the country, but I consider myself a 'bit of a lefty' I love the European Union and a Federalist State, I hate pounds and ounces..preferring Kilograms and grams, I think 100 watt lightbulbs are a bad idea...

A Box with No End ...

Advantages: Lennard Pearce as Grandad, & Classic Episodes
Disadvantages: Not all the Best & Special Episodes, No Extras

...? --------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- The First Series 1 to 7 Box Set is stuffed with over 50 different episodes listed below. The great thing about this Box Set is that there is no particular order you must follow. There is a vast range of story lines for you to follow which do not overlap with episodes. You could start in reverse order and I guarantee unlike other programmes, you will fully understand from scene to scene without having a specific order to follow. This will allow you and others to view episodes individually at your own choice and leisure. Here you have an almost complete package of Classic British Comedy for both teenagers and adults. The only thing missing is that it does not feature each & every episode ever made for BBC Television. But the Box Set is a great introduction to those who have unfortunately not as of yet discovered 'Only Fools & Horses' as...

The Daily Mail

Advantages: Well laid out, easy to read
Disadvantages: More pricey than other leading tabloids

...The Daily Mail has been a welcome breakfast addition in our household for as long as I can remember. The news is reliable, informative, and well presented. Redtop tabloids such as The Sun and The Mirror are full of useless showbiz gossip, whereas The Mail concentrates on "real" news. The first issue of the Daily Mail was published on 4th May, 1896 by Alfred Harmsworth, and was an immediate success, quickly reaching a circulation of over 500,000. With the start of the 1899 Boer War, sales soared to over 1 million copies a day. Since then, there's been no looking back. The Daily Mail is certainly the most expensive tabloid newspaper in circulation, at 35p daily. The Sunday equivalent and the Mail's sister paper The Mail on Sunday costs £1. This may seem an extortionate price for a newspaper, but is definitely worth it. The Daily Mail...

Boxing News

Advantages: Quality, Easy To read, Likable
Disadvantages: Short, Price, Formulaic

...If Ring magazine is the world champion of boxing magazine it's big European rival is British based Boxing News that is now celebrating it's 100th year in production. It's currently a weekly magazine (though it's a registered paper) priced at £2.80 and released on a Friday ever week. Although the history of how it's become what it is, is an interesting story that saw one of my personal hero's Harry Mullan become it's editor for quite some time before his very untimely death, this review will stick to what the magazine currently is. It's currently almost full of regular features, like most magazines and it's opening article titled ?Fighting Talk? is written by current editor Claude Abrams and although not always a fan of his views an opinions it's often a well written piece to open the magazine. It's almost certainly based on just...

The Royal Mail is heading for a fall!

Advantages: ok for non-urgent, non-valuable mail
Disadvantages: shocking customer focus

...I've known many lovely dedicated postpeople over the years, and I hope no-one will take personal offence at this, but I'm really angry, and £11.08 out of pocket so I will have my say! I was given a card by my postman this morning, buried amongst other letters - presumably so I didn't hold him up by querying it. It said that some-one had failed to put the correct postage on a letter, and since £1.08 was outstanding, I could a - Go online, pay and arrange delivery - I spent 15 minutes registering myself on the Royal Mail website and entering my card details, only to discover that the postman hadn't bothered to write on a reference number. If I wanted the letter delivered, I would have to wait in and provide ID. Its ADDRESSED to ME, for goodness sake! b. - Go out and buy £1.08 worth of stamps, attach them to the card, post it...

GoogleMAIL

Advantages: Huge Storage, Searchable
Disadvantages: People not on Gmail don't like big threads of mail

..., then it will still work, but no new names will be created with the Gmail name. They now have a new logo, GoogleMAIL and the whole site has the same look and feel as the normal Google search engine. I applied for my account before this, and I have noticed that my reply to address has been changed to Googlemail now. I invited two friends from America recently, and they both got the name@gmail addresses still. When Google was launched the main idea was that it would be a kind of lifetime email account, and it re-wrote the rule book for how much storage you could have with web-based email providers, for example Hotmail, which is probably the world's biggest email company (or maybe AOL). Hotmail now allow 250mb of storage for free, but my current limit with Googlemail is more than ten times that. I am not even registering 1% yet, whereas...

A game for those who think outside the box!

Advantages: Gameplay, Duration, Puzzles, Storyline
Disadvantages: Graphics, Length of Cut-scenes

...Professor Layton and Pandora's Box is an excellent game utilizing the Nintendo DS's features to their full extent. Although I only briefly played the prequel to this game, "Professor Layton and the Curious Village" my initial thoughts on both game gave me a verdict that this game had greater complexity and although the storyline did at points relate back to the previous game, gave a starting point for new gamers who didn't own/use the previous title. The game is obviously, if you have seen trailers or know the genre, a puzzle game, as you hear this you would probably immediately assume a few things that would have been compromised in, these being the graphics and storyline. Firstly, the graphics aren't the best you will have ever seen in a game, however it doesn't rely on graphics so this is why the quality lacks slightly. Secondly is...

MAIL NOT MAN ENOUGH

Advantages: SPORT
Disadvantages: THE REST OF IT!

...As I’m all sure you know (if you have read my previous op on the Daily Telegraph), until recently I read the Daily Telegraph. However I found a problem with the best selling quality broadsheet in the country, and that was, that it was a broadsheet, it was just to darn big for cornflakes. So on happy sunny day whilst picking up my paper, I decided to opt for another, this later caused problems as before I was such an enthusiast of the Telegraph that the shop owner thought that he had sold out, and apologised profusely. So as I cast my eye upon the selection of newspapers, a picture happened to catch my eye, however as current international news issues are not really part of the Daily Sports criteria, I had to put it back, and opt for the Daily Mail instead. Priced at 35p was the first point up on the Telegraph...

ROYAL MAIL - 1ST CLASS COST, 3RD CLASS SERVICE

Advantages: Nationwide service
Disadvantages: Delivery service very poor

..., indicating that he or she had attempted to contact us to post an item that was too big for our letter box, but having received no response was having to return it to our local sorting office. By the time I opened the door, the post man or post woman had already gone. The first problem here is that we were in. No obvious attempt was made to ring the doorbell or knock, as we were in the front room and had actually heard the rest of the mail drop on our doormat. A slight clue to us being in was a car in the drive and the front room window being open. A little bit annoyed, I made a special trip to the local sorting office, as requested on the card, on the Monday, when the card indicated the item would be available, and was advised that it had not yet been returned to the sorting office. I mentioned to the lady behind the counter about...
