Hastings Direct - AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Advantages: None if you have to claim
Disadvantages: Appalling service outside of FSA guidelines

...On returning from my recent trip to France, I came home to find to find two nasty surprises. The first was in my haste to leave I had forgotten to do the washing up and there was a good smelly pile of decaying plates and cups just waiting for an industrial hose. No one else to blame but myself on that one. The second nasty surprise was that my car had been stolen. Like any insurance policy be it home, personal or car the true worth of the policy is only measurable once you have to make a claim on it. You can have the cheapest premiums in the world but if when you come to need the insurance company and they fail spectacularly to deliver, what price those discounts now. I never asked to be Hastings Direct. In the same way we never asked to be under Gordon Brown, my policy was transferred from Budget Choice. I do not know the ins...

Review of Hastings Direct

New light shed on dark times.

Advantages: /
Disadvantages: /

...Max Hastings set himself a difficult task when he tackled the events laid out in his book Das Reich, although he himself admits that the finished article is not exactly the book he set out to write. His aim was to write about the actions and consequences of resistance movements and their affect on the armies and battlefields of World War Two. As he delved into the research element of the book he realised that one small series of incidents in southern France in the closing months of the war epitomised everything that he wanted to say and the drive of the book changed direction. Instead of an overview of the general methods of resistance groups and the regular troops that they are pitted against, the book became a detailed look at the actions of the Das Reich, or 2nd SS Panzer division and the corresponding counter actions by local...

Review of Das Reich - Max Hastings

Relax with a Max

Advantages: Nice flavour
Disadvantages: Artificial ingredients

...Imagine my relief when I found out that Pepsi made a low calorie drink aimed squarely at the male market. Yes I know that it is perfectly legal for us chaps to consume diet Pepsi or diet Cola but I always found it a little embarrassing asking for the aforementioned beverages. I always felt that somehow my masculinity was being called into question if I entered a shop and picked up the diet version of any drink, real men simply don?t consume diet drinks. That is until Pepsi Max hit the shelves. When Pepsi Max was launched the adverts featured young sporty chaps performing all sorts of extreme pastimes such as bungee jumping, skateboarding and BMX racing. That?s the sort of image I want when I buy a drink. Although it?s fair to say my days of BMX riding are well behind me and the thought of attaching a piece of elastic to my ankles...

Review of Pepsi Max

Hastings Town is the best

Advantages: Lots to do and Lots to See
Disadvantages: Read the review

...I have been living in Hastings since I have been living here that’s coming up 19 years and boy has it change alot in that time. Hastings is a busy town just on the outside of St. Leonard’s-on-sea and near Fairlight. ***Activities*** Hastings has many activities for all ages for example: The Mini Golf on the seafront. The Adventure Golf, which has only just been finished, is superb for people wanting to find out if they are going to be the next Tiger Woods. A fairground called Flamingo Park (I used to work there seasonally) which has very little ride for people of all ages to go on. What they do have are the Most ever Popular BUMPER CARS, 007 which is not for the faint hearted. Hastings is a big place for all those gamblers out there who want to put money in those dreadful slot machines. You can find most of these...

Pucker up with Max Factor!

Advantages: Stays on and refuses to budge
Disadvantages: CAn cake on the lipts if your not careful

...it's time to move on from lipstick covered teeth yet! All in all this is a must have for the party season and has many more positive points than negatives, I for one won't be using anything else and I'll just remember that after a few hours I need to use the top coat and I'm away! I can't live without this product and even my Mother owns one or two of them now. If you don't believe my claims nip into a chemist and try a tester if your not brave enough to put it on your lips draw a line on your hand and leave to dry a minute then try removing it?! Case closed lol PS! Boots have an offer on, spend £12 on Max Factor get free goodie box and in TK ax you can get 4 lipfinity lipsticks for £10 in a case (regular size) and in TJ Hughes they have limited colours but are £2! It really pays to look on markets and in bargain buckets you...

Hastings Castle - Its not up North!!

Advantages: Beautiful views, so much history
Disadvantages: Wont take you long to look!

...Boy, did I make my family laugh last week, did I ever keep them amused for hours. I was the subject of ridicule for at least 36 hours. Why? It was a simple honest enough mistake. It was whilst we were driving on a trip our, we'd been holidaying near Rye. I just happened to mention that I had always though Hastings was 'up North' and that the famous battle of 1066, you know the one that virtually changed the face of England had also happened up there. My daughter had, by some ill chance been studying the Normans at school last year and she thought it was hysterical. Alan just thought it one of those daft-ass blonde moments I've been having lately. So being only 12 miles from Rye, we travelled to the seaside town of Hastings, ( I didn't even know it was on the coast!), which turned out to be a lovely place. But we weren't there to...

Day Trip To Hastings

Advantages: Cheap and Cheerful
Disadvantages: Some areas are scruffy

...This is my favorite sea side destination come here and you wont be disappointed. First things first every one knows about the battle of Hastings 1066 well that actually happened up the road, but what else do you know? You may of heard of Hastings reputation for being tatty and univiting but don't listen to that, sure it may be a little rough around the edges but that just adds to the charm. If you visit Hastings head to the Old Town first, framed between the East and West Hills the old Town has nearly every type of architecture you can imagine, it resembles a Cornish fishing village without the crowds! For Architecture be sure to walk down All saints Street, High Street and Croft Road, Tackleway. There are Medieval, Georgian and Victorian buildings all trying to grab your attention. Also if you walk down to the stade there are...
