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...

Heriot-Watt Uni

Advantages: Lovely Campus
Disadvantages: Some modules didn't seem relevant on course

...Four years ago, I left school and started the hunt for a suitable university to go to, however I was only really torn between two. This was because I knew that I wanted to move back up Edinburgh, and I also knew that I wanted to do Information Technology. This left Heriot-Watt (actually spelt with 1 ?R?) or Napier ? the two in Edinburgh that seemed to offer this particular subject. I was allowed to apply to six universities; however I ended up choosing some of these by shutting my eyes and randomly pointing my finger at the map! Oops, not really ideal is it? Anyway, after looking at both of the Universities, I thought that Napier would be the best for me, since it was spread out throughout town and my first thoughts were that this would be exciting. However, after a guided tour around Heriot-Watt, I realised that practical should...

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...

Heriot Watt University

Advantages: Excellent campus with superb facilities
Disadvantages: Nothing major

...It has been a little while since I posted a review and that is because I have just started university. I am currently in my first year at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh studying Mechanical Engineering. This review is based on my experience of the university. While at university I am staying on campus and therefore will be able to comment on the university, its facilities, the course I am doing and the accommodation. Heriot Watt University has two campuses in Scotland. This review is only based on the main campus which is in Edinburgh. Heriot Watt is the eighth oldest higher education institution in the UK. It was established by Royal Charter in 1966, but its origins date back to 1821 through the School of Arts of Edinburgh. The name Heriot-Watt, commemorates George Heriot and James Watt. George Heriot was a renowned 16th...

Review of Herriot Watt University

Jewish Lesbians. Read all about them!

Advantages: fascinatitng glimpse into a hidden community
Disadvantages: a lot of unfamilar words and phrases

...Jewish Lesbians! Has that caught your attention?? Well ?Disobedience£ the award winning but controversial debut novel by Naomi Alderman is about them but it is about so much more!. Its is also about identity, roots and community. Disobedience is mostly in Hendon in the Jewish heartland of north west London (an area I know fairly well as I have friends there and like some of the restaurant and cafes there. I adore Carmellis in Golder's Green and Piazza pizzeria) and revolves around its close knit Orthodox community. The book begins with the anticipation of the death of community leader and highly respected Rav Krushka and follows the consequences of his death, as his estranged daughter Romit arrives from New York to mourn her father. Her arrival back in Hendon scandalises the community and also brings past secrets to life that...

Review of Disobedience - Naomi Alderman

Watt: The Does and the Don?ts.

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...A massive percentage of first year students at Herriot-Watt are living on the campus. The first year is entirely geared up for these students. I am not simply talking about the Freshers? Fayre. I mean things like the timetable. If you are looking at a fifty-minute bus trip in from Edinburgh (rush hour traffic, of course) then you are also looking at a very early rise if you wish to make the nine o?clock lectures. As most first years are on campus the timetable tends to give the first years these dreaded nine o?clock lectures. If you are a first year and you happen to live off campus - tough. There is another problem with the campus. It is a lovely campus, it is pretty and clean (not counting the pond of chemical doom) but it is miles and miles away. If you have a part time job then you can find yourself right royally screwed. It...

The camera never lies!

Advantages: Great story
Disadvantages: A bit disturbing and gruesome

...I recently intercepted a few books from my friend that were on route to a charity shop and amongst them was this book - Naomi's Room written by Jonathon Aycliffe. I don't generally read stories about ghosts but the synopsis on the back cover intrigued me enough to give it a go. The setting for the story are the leafy streets of Cambridge surrounding Trinity College and our main characters are Dr Charles Hillenbrand, his wife Laura and their 4 year old daughter Naomi whom they both adore. Charles works at the university and his wife is an art historian. They are both very academic and their lives seem idyllic and privileged. They live in a large detached house that has been connected to the college since it had been built in the 19th century. The story is narrated by Dr Charles Hillengrand himself. It is written in a clear...

Review of Naomi's Room - Jonathan Aycliffe

England Expects!

Advantages: An entertaining new first fantasy novel.
Disadvantages: Will not be to everybodies taste.

...This is a new first novel and the first of a new fantasy series by Naomi Novik. Plot synopsis. In the year 1805 two warships are fighting it out in the North Atlantic somewhere to the west of Madeira. The French ship has been boarded by the British one and defeat now seems inevitable. After the surrender when the French ship is being searched, a prize of great value is discovered. It is a Dragons egg, but it is also close to hatching. Dragons are very valuable, more so if they can be harnessed and their attention caught by man as soon after the hatching as possible. The post of Aviator is one of Honour but not social acceptability. So Captain Will Lawrence will have to find a suitable candidate from among his crew. He is a dedicated naval officer, happy to be a Captain, but he has his duty. For him, duty is very important...
