Wow, an entire city made of Gold!

Advantages: Classic animation and music. Good storyline
Disadvantages: Its for kids and quite old. Hard to find.

...I am now asking myself why a review on a cartoon made in the 80?s, set in the 1500?s and produced by the French and the Japanese would be of any interest to anybody. Surprisingly it is of great interest to a vast number of people, who remember it from the first BBC screening in the mid eighties, which means I can talk about it and write about it without being whacked with the nerd stick. No, I?m not a nerd. The Plot - Set in the 16th century and loosely based around a book called `The Kings Fifth` (never read it) this 39 episode animation follows a small group of Spanish adventurers looking for the lost city of gold in South America. It is quite heavily factual and concentrates on the greed of a certain Governor Pizzaro who, fuelled by rumours of an entire city made of gold, led the Spanish conquerors in South America and pretty...

Xbox Live is all Gold!

Advantages: the best online community ever!
Disadvantages: the playstation 3 is free for online play

...On purchasing an xbox 360 console you are given a free months xbox live gold membership which can be used once for each xbox live account that is created. However this of course only lasts for a month and after that initial month I was hooked and since then have bought and year's membership and love to play online with my friends over xbox live all the time! What is Gold Membership?: When you create an xbox live account on your xbox 360 there are several different things you have to do. You at first have to input your email address and password in order to verify the account. You then get to choose a gamertag to have - this is your special unique gaming name that you will be recognised as while playing on xbox live - mine is magicman142. The final section on signing up is to choose the type of membership you want: - Silver...

Xbox Live Gold Overview/Review

Advantages: Many Features! Cheap
Disadvantages: Needs Broadband Connetction

...If you have an xbox 360 i'm pretty sure you have at least tried Xbox Live Gold. If not I'll give you a run through. Xbox Live is a place where the gaming community can get together. They can play nearly every game online with each other and communicate even if not on the same game. There are two levels of xbox live. Xbox live gold (which averages out to £3.33 a month) and Xbox Live Silver (averages out about 0p a billion years!) I'll simply give you the differences available: Xbox Gold: You can play online on any game You can download everything from the xbox live marketplace With silver you can talk to friends, use MSN messenger, download but not play online whenever you want. Xbox Live has plenty of features I will now tell you what these our. The Xbox Live Marketplace: The xbox live market place is basicly...

Mystery shopper

Advantages: Work when you like, fun
Disadvantages: Low Pay

...I have been a Mystery Shopper for 4-5 months now and I enjoy every aspect of it. Its great experience, especially if you want to work within retail or work in retail now as you can pick up a lot of things about customer service, etc. What is a Mystery Shopper? A company pays you to go into a shop and makes enquiries and possibly a purchase (like any normal customer) and you then have to report back, mostly by web form or sometimes by telephone on the quality of the customer service you received. This company then reports back to the retailer with their findings, etc and they look at this to see how they can improve their customer service and who is not giving good customer service. Companies sales can drop due to a lack of good customer service, this is why companies pay people to pretend to be a customer to ensure the staff are...

Where's the mystery?!

Advantages: small amount needed per use, leaves skin lovely and soft
Disadvantages: not a huge difference to appearance of skin, initially pricey

...A while ago I was having a clear out when I came across a small tube of Philosophy's The Great Mystery. I bought this together with a few other Philosophy products around a year or so ago but had completely forgotten about it. Philosophy products are quite pricey, and I've been cutting back on the luxury skincare lately so I was pleased to find this. Being an American brand it has a best before date on the tube and thankfully it was still six months within the use-by time. The Great Mystery, is described as being 'a one-minute daily facial.' According to the Philosophy website, this was created to mimic an in-spa deep cleansing facial. Saying that, I wouldn't exactly call it a cleanser, I think it's more of a face mask, which can be used regularly. Although it's called 'daily facial' Philosophy advise to use it whenever you feel like...

  Myths & Mysteries- Mystery Shopping with Chrissie

Advantages: Lots of perks. Flexible hours. You can choose.
Disadvantages: Can be hard work for low pay. Steady income not guaranteed.

...I saw mystery Shopping in the cafe, and thought I would like to join in. So I'm wading in right now in the deep end and see what comes out of my mouth! Are you ready to keep a secret?! 1. Where do you work? All over the place and I love it! This is the best thing about Mystery shopping -it can be anywhere and everywhere. Flexible hours you can choose what you want to do,and best of all-fit it around an existing commitment,scedule job etc. An extreme (and I have to say,rare! example!), might be on a plane to Spain for the day, testing a certain budget airline or an overnight stay in a 5 star hotel including meals drinks room service and the like! The usual norm might be places like Banks, Health Clubs, Restaurants Supermarkets, fast food High street stores, Clothes Electricals Book and music stores- other shops...

Review of Mystery Shopping

  Is It REALLY a Mystery? [2005 Update]

Advantages: Opportunity for additional income, freebies, flexibility
Disadvantages: Low rates of pay, often very dull assignments, huge number of agencies to work for

..., which is worth remembering when deciding to undertake an assignment or not. Some will pay the mileage as a portion of the fee, because the mileage is then tax-free. When it comes to tax, some agencies arrange the tax and NI for you and some will expect you to arrange it yourself. Pay is either made directly into your bank, or you'll be sent a cheque - more often the former. What Works Well  With over forty companies offering mystery shopping assignments, the variety and volume of work is quite surprising. With relatively low numbers of registered agents, I think that most people could be offered work every month. This will depend on where you live though. If you live in a big city, then you are FAR more likely to get offered assignments - or if you make it known that you are available in a certain city. ...
