THERES ONLY ONE MICHAEL OWEN

Advantages: Explosive pace, Deadly finisher, Superb Proffesional, etc...
Disadvantages: None, unless you're an opposing defender...

...On the 14th December 1979 a star was born in Chester, England, that star being a certain Michael James Owen, the son of ex-Evertonian Terry Owen. From a very early age, it was obvious that Owen was going to make the grade as a professional footballer and he was duly snapped up by Liverpool Football Club and signed on as a Schoolboy. Owen went about breaking every goal-scoring record going whilst a youngster and made his breakthrough whilst starring in Liverpool?s 1996 FA Youth Cup winners. The next season he made his first team debut in a match against Wimbledon and surprise, surprise he scored his first league goal, at the tender age of 17. From that day, both he (Owen) and Liverpool have never looked back. He became England?s youngest representative of the 20th century and also became England?s youngest ever goal-scorer in...

Review of Michael Owen

Michael Owen flawed genius

Advantages: speed, finishing, fear factor
Disadvantages: effort, cant hold the ball, out of form

...Three is no doubt that Michael Owen is a great player, he can finish well, has the intelligence to make great runs and the speed to get on the end of these runs, has a good temperament, can head the ball and has some ability when it comes to taking on players. I feel everyone knows these qualities and he is considered to be one of the top players in the world, however i have yet to see in recent games the Owen that has so impressed us in the past. In all three England games he has failed to perform very well, even managing to earn the right to be substituted twice. In the first game he definately would have been subbed instead of Vassell if he had not been captain at the time He seems to have lost the will, nay not will, more of the effort factor in his game. He doesn't track back in the same way as say Heskey or Vassell have been...

Review of Michael Owen

The Boy Wonder

Advantages: Explosive striker
Disadvantages: Injury problems

...This is my first review in a little while, so I hope to get back to writing regularly again! I?m already a few beers into the night, so forgive any sloppy typos! I?ve decided to review another footballer. I?ve not written in a week or so, and I keep kicking myself to do so, so I?ve allocated tonight to get a review done. Having thought for days on what to do one about, I?ve decided to write about what I know again and review yet another footballer. You can see a pattern here can?t you?! Michael James Owen was born on 14th December 1979 in Chester. He made his Liverpool debut in the away draw at Wimbledon in the 1996/97 season, scoring a goal. In the next match against Sheffield Wednesday, Michael was put into the starting line-up. Unfortunately that was the last match of the season, and it wasn?t until the 1997/98 season that Owen...

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...

A Prayer For Owen Meany

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: see op

...Nope, no silly op titles. I couldn't do that to my all-time favourite book; and it took me twenty one years to find an all-time favourite. It was, of course, inevitable, that with a user name like ruthcole (A Widow For One Year), I would write an op about an Irving book. Here it is. The best place to start would probably be with the plot. Since this is a book that starts in the fifties and moves through to the Reagan administration, via Vietnam, it's probably best to just give you the kind of information you get in the blurb. Owen Meany is the best friend of Johnny Wheelwright. When they are both 11 years old, Owen hits a baseball in a Little League game that kills Johnny's mother. Owen is convinced: GOD HAS TAKEN MY HANDS, I AM GOD'S INSTRUMENT. Why the capitals? I'll explain in a minute. The story begins with Johnny...

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 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

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...

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...
