The purple mongoose

Advantages: one of my better stories
Disadvantages: unrealistic and melodramatic

...This is a story I wrote as part of my English coursework. The Purple Mongoose It wasn't my fault. After all, it was Emily who had driven me out of the house? Mummy's little girl, perfect in every aspect - and so smug and superior! It was Emily who had started that last argument, saying things she knew would cut me to the bone, trying and succeeding to hurt me. It was Emily who had followed me past the yellow warning signs onto the old bridge? How was I to know that she would actually dare follow me? I thought that perfect little Emily would give up as soon as I entered private property and stepped onto the dangerously frail bridge, due for demolition ten or more years ago, deliberately to get rid of her. But no, she obviously thought that if we got caught she could blame me and no one would get cross with her...

Review of Fiction

The Adventures of Mongoose Man

Advantages: n.a
Disadvantages: n.a

...I've put this in the 'Daft Stories' section as although it's a serious piece in it's own right, it's also a parody of comic book heroes. I originally wrote these short stories for another website, based on an ongoing character I had created. They're no works of art, but I thought some of you might enjoy these two, so here goes! ****************************************************** Story 1 The Adventures of Mongoose Man - A Beginning ------- Chapter 1: An Ordinary Life Frank sat in his office. The fan above his head whirred into life again, blowing the cool air onto his thinning head. He needed to get out more, get more excitement, the years had just passed him by and he hadn’t really noticed until it was too late. Now he had one of those kind of lives that he swore he’d never end up in. 29 and already...

Review of Top 10 Crisp Flavours

Through Ross's eyes

Advantages: Amazing information and tear jerking moments of reality
Disadvantages: Would like to have seen even more footage

...Ross Kemp In Afghanistan DVD Lang- English Disc Format- DVD 9 + 5 Run Time- 225 Mins 2 Disc Edition Episodes- 1-5 Subtitles for hard of hearing A Tiger Aspect and Mongoose Production. Cert 15 Release 2008 As i am a fan of Tiger Aspect productions i was interested to see how a documentary of this calibre would be portrayed. This company is one of the most successful production companies in the UK. With my own partner serving in Iraq at present i also wanted to see a side of soldier life that is similuar to his. I am also a fan of Ross Kemp's Series of Gangs and wanted to compare his performance in each. I found the DVD very informational and quite heart rendering. In both Ross Kemp talks openly and honestly about his feelings and opinions. He also shows his emotions towards the bravery of the soldiers in...

Review of Ross Kemp In Afghanistan (DVD)

I would rate this less than one star if i could.

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Worst show ever

...be constantly plagued by shows where people are yelling and screaming at each other and people are being inconsiderate to others. This isn't my idea of good TV at all. I much prefer positive things, comedies, things that make you laugh life's short and i don't want to spend every morning of mine watching this miserable mongoose in fact id rather bungee jump minus a parachute lol....

Review of Jeremy Kyle

YOU WANT TO KNOW Y?

Advantages: Long awaited nonsense review from me
Disadvantages: long winded nonsesnse non-review from me

...form exists as Y, but in reality, Y is Not-Y. This means that while people kills themselves in the name of the Y, they are in fact doing so in vain because of the undeniable non-existence of Y. If we knew Y - then we would be able to end all arguments, as Y could be defined - like a mongoose. A mongoose can easily be defined - and people do not fight over mongooses (or is it mongeese - I don't know) which means that Y needs to be defined - we can make something up for all I care. Because as soon as we define the Y then people can stop fighting each other. However, if, as we have just said Y does not actually exist, then there is no need to define it as people are fighting about Not-Y. So we need to undefine Not-Y. So far my attempts at undefining Not-Y have included (to little effect) the inclusion of a new variable "X" Still...

Review of Everything that starts with Y ...

fantstic

Advantages: durable good first board
Disadvantages: quite expensive

...To start off with,skateboarding is one of the best sports out today, and to engoy it to its full you need a good board. Mongoose offer quite good boards, i have had one for a year and the deck (made of 6 ply maple) has been scratched bad in placeses, but there has been no structural damage. The trucks are made out of aluminium, not the hardest of metals but still quite durable and sholuld last me a long time yet. The wheels ar rubber, and are starting to get warn down, but you can not expect them to last much more than a year. The board can ollie quite easily but the wood does not have much bounce. This board is excelent for grinding and an ideal first board. At £50 its not the cheepest of boards and you could get the same specs for cheaper, but its worth it for the extra quality...

Review of Skateboarding - General

me,myself and i

Advantages: fun, caring sometimes a pain in the rear
Disadvantages: mooooodddyyyy lol

...right for him. What brought some of it back was watching eastenders last year when billy was dealing with his past about his dad belting him using the buckle end,,,well that was my fathers favourite weapon, because it left the buckle mark on your body. he used to hang his belts up at the side of his seat (he had 2) and each of them were named Ricki tavi 1 and Ricki Tavi 2 after a cartoon my father used to watch about a mongoose who could flick his tail really quick. Another of my fathers weapons was his pit boot, big black things with steel capped toes, they usually did the trick especially when he threw them at me.. That was the beatings, when i think about it they werent the problem it was the mental abuse. Your good for nowt, why cant you be like those kids on the tv, why are you so thick. this happened every single day. But to...

Review of All About Me

The Gelert Solo - Stubborn in the best possible manner!

Advantages: Lightweight, Small Pack Size, Durable, Attractive Design
Disadvantages: Small living/ sleeping space; Flysheet not easily secured to inner; Inner-First pitching

...tie any decent knot. As a result the inner tends to droop a little and in a storm can collapse. As for stability, the wind doesn't flow right past it like it isn't there but this tent can take a beating! In a breeze and low wind the tent does nothing. In a full on mountain gale the tent ripples with such ferocity I was sure it must tear apart. But, come morning, my Gelert Solo was in one piece whereas my companions Gelert Mongoose (basically the same tent just a 2-man version) had sustained damage. The groundsheet will keep dampness out from the ground, and although cnodensation is a big issue in winter, in the summer it's not so bad. One unpredicted advantage must be that the mesh inner is a great way to ease you out of a phobia of creepy-crawleys! Knowing they can't get you is wonderful and you can just flick them away! The tent's height...
