Yellow custard & Michael Crawford

Advantages: The best way to meet new people and make new friends.
Disadvantages: Do you really need to know my shoe size !!!!!!

...cried so much my husband had to tell me to get a grip as l was scaring my daughter ... oops !! 6. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING - Yes l do, l love writing and have been told by friends that l have lovely writing.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SANDWICH FILLING - Mmmm, cheese, no maybe chicken or maybe ham, no definately cheese, with pickle, and a bit of salad ... not forgetting the tomatoe. 8. ANY BAD HABITS - Slouching, which isn't a good thing when your recovering from a back op, l'm really trying to be good, but trying to sit on a sofa looking like you have a broomstick stuck up you a$%e isn't easy !! 9. WHAT IS THE MOST EMBARRASSING CD YOU OWN - Michael Crawford.., but quite frankly l think you can listen to whatever you want in...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Michael Jackson is Invincible

Advantages: The King,, Slash, Great album
Disadvantages: None

...**Introduction** Michael Jackson has become a lot like Marmite with many people around the world over the last few years. Some either Hate him or Like me Love him. (Or rather his Musical legacy). With all the bad press I thought we should focus on something positive and With his huge upcoming stand at London's 02 Arena coming up I thought it was time to review the album that is freshest in the memory of Michael Jackson fans and that album is of course his 2001 album Invincible. **Invincible** It's been eight years since Michael Jackson released this album and that makes his previous gaps between albums seem like an artist who releases an album every year or year and a half where it has always been around four years apart from 1997's Blood on The Dancefloor after 1995's History. Invincible was released by Epic Records and features...

Review of Invincible - Michael Jackson

Okay, So I Use Cindy Crawford DVD's...Problem?!

Advantages: Better than all these other stupid celebrity exercise DVD's that crowd the shelves...
Disadvantages: Not as good as her 'Next Challenge' 1993 workout...

...♥ Cindy Crawford ♥ Ms. Crawford first entered into the world of fitness DVD's in 1992 with 'Cindy Crawford: Shape Your Body Workout'. I never did own or try this workout but it was incredibly successful leading to the release of her incredible 1993 DVD workout entitled 'Cindy Crawford: The Next Challenge Workout'. Although this dvd is now 15 years old I still use it to this day and the results are just phenomenal. I am not at all EMBARRASSED to admit that I use her DVD's. I tell everyone about them but they laugh it off but hey, who's got the rocking body! So many of these so-called celebrities are releasing fitness DVD's left, right and center nowadays to earn a quick buck and it's hard to keep track of and most of them are absolutely useless. *Cough* Danielle Lloyd *Cough*. So when you do find a DVD that truly does...

Review of Cindy Crawford - A New Dimension (DVD)

Monty Python's Life of Michael

Advantages: Candid, revealing insight into the reality of 'the nice one'
Disadvantages: Sometimes hard to keep track of who's who; strangely short on humour

...And now for something completely different?Never meet your heroes,? goes the old adage. ?Never read their diaries? might be equally sage advice. That?s probably why I didn?t tackle Michael Palin?s collected daily journals until now. Along with the rest of the Monty Python team, he was without doubt a hero of my teenage years. Today, when so much television is disposable pap, such admissions stretch credulity. But I derived more enjoyment, education and social acceptance from Monty Python?s Flying Circus than any other influence on my nerdish adolescent self. Even now, 30 or more years later, I was wary of anything which might demolish the façade of those shows, which could reveal that my telly gods had feet of clay. So I opened this hefty, 600-page distillation of the Python years (1969-1979) with trepidation. I came here...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Review of Panasonic DVD-S54

Michael Jackson's Thriller

Advantages: Great songs, talent, highly skilled voice, excellent sound quality
Disadvantages: You might not like Michael Jackson

...There is no other album like Michael Jackson's Thriller even after 25 years it still remains a class above the rest in my opinion. Michael Jackson's Thriller sold in excess of 27 million copies in the USA and Michael Jackson received a ground breaking eight Grammys and 12 nominations in 1984. The album is highly polished and has an excellent sound quality. The album produces a style that is unique to Michael Jackson which has a great dance atmosphere and has a good blend of percussion and keyboards. Tracks like "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" are part of this influential album. I love the way Michael Jackson's Thriller captures you into a world of make believe as the music slows down and picks up throughout the album. No two songs are the same. The beat in each song is fantastic giving a good blend of variation throughout the album...

Review of Thriller - Michael Jackson

Prey by Michael Crichton

Advantages: Interesting and well written book
Disadvantages: Technically occasionally over my head!

...Background: Another book recommended to me, this time by my Dentist. He raves about this author and as I'm due for a check up next week I thought I better give it a go. About the author: Michael Crichton was born in Chicago in USA on 23rd October 1942. He was probably best known as the author of 'Jurassic Park' and the creator of 'ER'. His first best seller 'The Andromeda Strain' was published while he was still a Medical Student. He has written 20 Novels, two screenplays and has sold over 150 million books worldwide. About the book: Jack Forman is an out of work scientist; he looks after his three children while his wife Julia works. She by contrast has a very successful and high powered job, while Jack struggles to even get interview in Silicon Valley. Meanwhile in the Nevada Desert, the experiment his wife is in...

Review of Prey - Michael Crichton

George Michael - Twenty Five - A Masterpiece!!

Advantages: Great songs, lots of choice, two albums.
Disadvantages: Doesn't include one of my favourite ever songs.

...I received this as a present Christmas 2008 from my fiance and was really surprised with his choice of gift as although he knew I like George Michael I hadn't mentioned it or dropped any hints for it so was very pleasantly surprised. Anyway, on with the review, I have tried to provide background history, chart information, my personal review of each of the songs and a rating out of 5. This might mean that the review is a lot longer than my normal 'concise' reviews so thanks in advance for reading, hopefully rating and most of all for bearing with me! There are two versions of this album, a two disc and a three disc, my review is based on the two disc edition. George Michael was born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou on June 25, 1963 in East Finchley, North London. He first became famous in the U.K by teaming up with Andrew Ridgeley in...

Review of Twenty Five - George Michael

Crème de la crème of fitness DVDs

Advantages: Great exercise, great fun, great results
Disadvantages: Too long for beginners

...out in many fitness DVDs. Finally, there is a good long cool down section. Right at the end of the DVD, there is a section which explains carefully how to do some of the more difficult exercises without harming yourself. The location is great, filmed on beaches, in fields, on top of buildings etc. The music is also fabulous, although of course, this does depend on your age - being a teenager in the 80s means I loved it. However, it is not so overpowering that it takes over the routine, so even if you don't like it, it doesn't really matter. Cindy, of course, looks great, and even now, her clothes don't look dated. If Radu appeared in the DVD more, I think he could be quite annoying, but luckily he keeps in the background most of the time and throws out useful comments as and when necessary. Cindy is good at explaining what she is...
