The Time of My Life.....I certianly did!

Advantages: Inspirational
Disadvantages: Hard to put down

...It certainly was a very sad day when I discovered that Patrick Swayze had lost his battle against cancer, the odds were against him, but I thought that, like in the movies, it might have a happy ending. Sadly that wasn't to be. I have to admit I did cry and it was mainly for selfish reasons, I felt a part of my youth had died. Dirty Dancing was a huge hit when I was in my teens the 'nobody puts baby in a corner' line is one that most women my age will always remember. Many a happy time with the girls round, bottle of wine (ok a few bottles) watching Dirty Dancing and Ghost.....ah happy days. The Time of My Life Is a book that once started can't be put down, so please make sure you have some time on your hands before you start reading! It's a well written book about a truely passionate man... I think one of the reasons that...

Review of The Time of My Life - Patrick Swayze, Lisa Niemi

My best friends life, never mine!

Advantages: A bit of light relief from all the "true" stories.
Disadvantages: None.

...As with most of my more recent book reviews they seem to start in the aisle?s of my local Asda. This is no exception. Even though I have around 30 books piled up ready for my reading pleasure I still had to purchase another when faced with a £1.00 price tag, this is the book I will now review. The book I will now review is ?My best friends life by Shari Low?. The premise of the story is as follows - Ginny and Roxy are best friends. Born on the same day and being cousins, they have grew up together. Ginny is quite and shy and seemingly dominated by Roxy. Roxy is domineering, adventurous and always on the lookout for the next bit of excitement and fun. Roxy returns to her hometown from her trendy London job and studio apartment, she is claiming she needs sanctuary from her latest romance catastrophe, so decides to stay...

Review of My Best Friends Life - Shari Low

What changed my life

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: None

...Life changing experiences are something I used to find hard talking about, that?s until I went through a counsellor and realised these weren?t my fault, they say things happen for a reason, its that reason I still find hard to understand. Why does some people never seem to get any problems when others have so much they are weighed down by it, what I have been told is god only gives you what you can handle. Over my 40 years I have had nothing but problems from parents to teachers now to my daughter, no I am not calling my daughter a problem just her condition which stops her from having a life and stops mine. My kids are my life and I don?t care how bad things get I will always be there supporting them, something I never had. <> What changed my life <> When I look back at my childhood all my thoughts are me at 14, even though...

My desire in life

Advantages: Make people happy
Disadvantages: Cant answer that one

...We all need someone to talk to. ********************************* This is my dream in life. I dont want anything myself, but I want to be able to help people who have a problem helping them selfs, and I mean those with disabilities. There is alot of people alone and hurting and dont know who they can turn too and some are very proud and wont let you help. I have started living my dream by doing what I can on the internet as I have penpals from a site called Youeable.com and at the moment I have been talking to my friend who I will Joan as she might not like me giving out her name. She has cancer, heart trouble and a brain tumor, she lives her life in a wheelchair in manchester and just by sending her e-mails, e-cards and phoning her has made a difference to her as she lives alone with her dog, she has a great sense...

My Life As An Au-pair

Advantages: The rewards have been amazing
Disadvantages: It has been hard and demanding work among these foreigners

...Definition ************ For those not educated in the French language, the term has the original meaning of ' being on equal terms' A strange term, then, for a phrase that has more often represented a state of being exploited by foreign well-offs who get you into their homes to skivvy for them, in return for pocket money. The Encarta dictionary is more helpful in our quest for a definition - " foreign student working as domestic helper: a young person from abroad living with a family to learn the language, and helping with childcare and domestic work in return for board and accommodation.

My Life So Far

Advantages: Strength can be found in unlikely places
Disadvantages: Some things on my list added some deep dents to my confidence!

...Despite still being only 22, I can think of five life-changing events without having to over-tax the old brain too much - some good, some bad but all very important nevertheless as they've shaped the person I am today. At the time of some of these events I could not see the good which would come from what happened, yet good things came from them anyway even if it was something as simple as just teaching me a lesson about life. What doesn't kill your spirit makes you stronger, and in many ways that's a good thing. Number One Being thrown out by my father aged 13 No need to really explain how this changed the course of my life. At the age of 13 or 14 or 15, a lot of teenagers seem to believe that nobody cares about them, their parents do not understand them and they start to learn that life isn't always fair. Most kids manage...

EVEN TWINS ARE UNIQUE - LIFE CHANGING DECISIONS

Advantages: You learn more about me and my twin, and how life has changed us.
Disadvantages: You cannot change the past, just the future.

...helped my mum with the house work, who sat with my dad and asked him about his long hard day, and who was always the one who welcomed him home when he returned. I wasn't complaining, though. Really, I was very happy playing the mother role. I enjoyed looking after my sister, helping my mum; even preparing food from the time I was as young as six years old! My sister and I might be twins but we are completely different, both inside and outside. My mum used to dress us the same, but I always hated that. I wanted to be myself; to have my own personality. I didn't like to be a copy of anyone....even my own sister. Even twins have unique personalities! Life as babies My mum has told me that she was in labour for 14 hours when we were born. She explained how that experience was very difficult to her - as all the women in...

Have a Laugh - The Worst Week of My Life

Advantages: Exceptionally well written, acted and observed. Very funny.
Disadvantages: Only 14 episodes, leaves you wanting more!

...OVERVIEW If you like physical comedy, are able to laugh at social class differences, and you can laugh at someone for always looking bad no matter how hard he tries to do the right thing, then this series is for you! It is superbly written and acted, and beautifully filmed. It is also incredibly rich and incredibly well observed with many sub-plots and engaging characters. ABOUT THE SERIES The name of the series gives the background of the whole story away perfectly. It is about the worst week in the life of Howard Steel, a man who falls in love with a girl from a more refined social background than his own. Don't let that mushy stuff put you off, this is far more rewarding than that! This is another series that comes from a company that seems to have amazing success at writing first class comedies. Hat Trick is...

Review of Managing My Life (My Autobiography) - Alex Ferguson

My Kind of Life

Advantages: Some infectious tunes
Disadvantages: Could get annoying if over played

...appropriate that the first act to have a number one single on downloads alone is a man who was rejected by Simon Cowell. So, after that chart topping single, here is what is likely to be a chart topping album; Mika's "Life in Cartoon Motion". The album opens with the aforementioned number 1 single, "Grace Kelly". It's got a wonderful jaunty beat and bassline, but the opening parts seems to be little more than this, until it goes up a notch and turns into a Scissor Sisters style pop number which you can't help but tap your foot along to and sing along, all wrapped up in a wonderfully nonsensical lyric that gets into your head and refuses to let go and despite it being played virtually everywhere at the moment, it's a song I simply can't get tired of hearing. There's a change in style for "Lollipop", which has a little more of a Caribbean...
