Tango & Cash Film Review

Advantages: It's Gay
Disadvantages: It's Gay

..."Who the Hell do you think you are?" screams an LA County Deputy at Sylvester Stallone in the opening scene of Andrei Konchalovsky's buddy-cop action-comedy. "He thinks he's Rambo!" another Deputy intervenes. "Rambo," however, "is a pussy," and Sly doesn't want to be a pussy. In case you were somehow unaware that Stallone played the one man wrecking machine, John Rambo, at his prime in the 1980s, you would have missed the joke here. For everyone else, the sight of Stallone wearing glasses and an Armani suit, acting a dick by poking fun at his main source of income (besides Rocky) is quite hilarious. Well, I thought so anyway... Ray Tango (Stallone's character) is portrayed as wealthy and intelligent; while Gabe Cash, his soon-to-be-partner, (Russell) is seen as the scruffy, cocky one of the two. (Did I just say 'cocky'? That's two...

HOW TO MAKE CASH FROM YOUR MOBILE

Advantages: There are some GREAT deals out there
Disadvantages: Can be extremely confusing

...This is my first ever opinion offering member advice! I have never really felt qualified enough to write an opinion on member advice before but having owned a mobile phone since 1996 (and yes, I still have the Motorola analogue brick I owned back then, lurking somewhere in the cupboard!), I now feel suitably qualified!! I am not going to just write about choosing a mobile phone but also give you tips on how to get the best deal and also make money on your old phone too! CONTRACT vs PAY AS YOU GO (PAYG) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This is one of the first questions that you need to ask yourself. Sometimes the answer to this question is already made for you by your circumstances. Contract phones require that you need a debit or credit card and thus, you need to be over 18 to get a contract phone (or use someone who is, to apply). Contract...

Early Cash and I don't mean money

Advantages: Classic , fresh , raw , entertaining , a little piece of history .
Disadvantages: May be too dated for some .

...Background Johnny Cash had been recording and playing for quite a while before I came across him properly as an artiste. In the early seventies my brother bought "Johnny Cash live at St Quentin" and it was a real eye opener, or should I say ear opener to me. Previously to this I had sort of heard him in passing but not taken that much notice. As a flighty teenager he had seemed far too old and straight to appeal to me. It took my advancing years to truly get a feel for the man and his music. However "San Quentin" was one of the first rungs on the ladder. My boyfriend at the time, and Husband to this day, bought the L.P before I knew him and so, among our differing tastes in music, this was one firm favourite. He has bought Cash?s music over the years right up to his final offerings and for me the music matured well along...

Cashing In On The Olympics?

Advantages: Lots Of Events
Disadvantages: No Online, Some Poor Events

...Cashing In On The Olympics? It can hardly have escaped your attention that the Olympic Games has been held in China and "Team GB" did quite well all things considered. So sales of this game must be up. This time Sega's Sonic The Hedgehog has joined in with Nintendo's Mario this time. The reason for this pairing up is purely commercial. You can control a myriad of characters from the Mario and Sonic games, or you can play as your Mii character, I always do. Each character has different characteristics and handle events subtly differently. The events are split into the relevant categories of Track, Field, Gymnastics etc... There are nine categories in total. Some events however are total turkeys such as rowing, where you have to maintain a rowing like motion with the two controls while pressing two...

Review of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

Tesco mobile network - in fact O2 coverage

Advantages: O2 coverage (best in the UK), free credits, easy top up, unlatch possible
Disadvantages: high call charges (expected with PAYG phone)

.../picture messages to mobiles. They can be used for mobile internet browsing too. However there are some restrictions - no international numbers, no premium rate numbers, no 08... numbers and you can't use it outside this country. The third good thing is the flexibility of top-up: online, in Tesco, by phone and ATM cash machines with the Tesco mobile top-up logo. Furthermore, you can set up you 5 favourite phone numbers (including landline) to have half-price call charges. The high call charges are expected for PAYG phones anyway. If you want low charges, the ASDA mobile network is very cheap however its Vodafone coverage may not be as good, at least in Oxfordshire. The fourth good thing is the coverage. O2 coverage is still second to none. Instead of buying the same phone under 'O2' network, you pay less (~£10) for it to be under 'Tesco' [O2...

Cash,Cash,Cash

Advantages: It's Johnny Cash! What more do you what?
Disadvantages: How can there be any? It's Johnny Cash!

...The best of Johnny Cash is just one of many, many albums that you can get by The Man In Black. It is released by Spectrum music which is a division of Polygram records. Before you start reading this, open another window turn up the volume and pop along to Johnnycash.com this will give you an idea of the great man, not all songs that you will be treated too are on this album but you will be treated none the less. If you don't like Johnny cash, can you say you have really listened? Johnny Cash is in most peoples eyes a country and western singer but he is so much more than that and has in the past been labelled with titles including a popular artist, a folk singer, a rockabilly and a mixture of all. In his youth he went for singing lessons but after a few lessons was told not to come back and not to change a thing, this is...

Yet another 'cash for your mobile phone' website...

Advantages: Good rates of money given.
Disadvantages: Service is uncertain, with a delay of 2 weeks possible.

...an hour later I received an e-mail saying payment had been made into my PayPal account, and sure enough it had! Summary As Simply Drop are a new site offering good rates, I can't help but wonder if they couldn't deal with the high demand? However both times I did receive payment which is the main thing, and it was an easy to do process. It's a shame they don't offer BACS, but you can have cash from a Post Office if you choose. The PayPal method was simply enough for me, and I didn't then have any fee's taken off the £74 by PayPal so Royal Mail must have covered those costs. Overall it's a site offering great rates for mobile phones at the moment, but be wary of the two different experiences I had! Always obtain a Certificate of Posting, and ensure you wrap your phone in enough packaging to protect it....

Smarter bartering, cash dashing

Advantages: Get rid of junk for cash quickly, get cash easily / quickly
Disadvantages: Poor rates for your goods plus general bad aura about the place

...A few weeks ago, just after Christmas, we decided our humongous CRT (i.e. very big) monitor and old keyboard and mouse just had to go. We had a new set for the Christmas season, and so concluded that our old set just wouldn't be of any use to us. So we considered the options of selling / getting rid of the stuff. After a bit of deliberation, we decided that a good option to try would be Cash Converters - no need to wait like eBay, no need to send goods and charge huge P and P - but the cons of having to travel to the shop (twice in our case), lugging your (huge, heavy) goods around with you and not experiencing the fun and joy of the last minutes of an online auction. Before heading off, we thought it'd be a good idea to phone them and check if they wanted the items first. Reporting back from the call, my mother told me that they...

Review of Cash Converters (Shop)

My Supermarket Mobile

Advantages: Cheap, easy to get started, good coverage, clubcard points
Disadvantages: None so far

...So here we go again another review brought about by the fact I had to move to keep my job (long story and will be covered when I write the review of my employers when and if Ciao list them). Sadly for Orange their network doesn't cover Lydd camp - just the area outside it but no signal penerates the camp fence oddly enough. So while on my hunt for a working network I checked the O2 website and found they claim to have full coverage across the camp, not long after this I remembered the handset and SIM I was given by the nightclub I used to work for but was on Tesco mobile. Dont worry I've not lost it, Tesco mobile and O2 are pretty much the same thing because Tesco buy the 'spare' satellite time from O2 to operate their network. Which means that while the Tesco sell the SIM's and the handsets its O2 that owns and operates...

Review of Tesco Mobile

Tesco are now Mobile...

Advantages: Reasonable cost and a straightforward range of tariffs
Disadvantages: Some underlying network problems

...Want to buy your mobile while picking up your beans? Why not go one better and have the supermarket BE the mobile network with Tesco Mobile (well almost? see below!). When did Tesco build a mobile network? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The answer, of course, is that they didn't. The Tesco Mobile network is a 'virtual' network, similar to Virgin Mobile, in this case being carried on the O2 network. It is a joint venture between Tesco and O2. Why do these virtual networks exist? On the (physical) network operator's side they use up spare capacity while someone else picks up the marketing bill. On the (virtual) network operator's side they gain the ability to offer mobile telephony services without the need to spend (many) millions and years building a network. Here O2 effectively get access to Tesco's undoubted marketing ability...
