Spiros... A Stunning Little Greek In Naxos

Advantages: Close to The Beach
Disadvantages: The Rooms in the Original Building are Quite Dated

...The Choice... My passion for browsing holiday brochures on cold dismal nights continued, the hubby fancied the Cyclades- a group of Greek Islands scattered across the Aegean sea of Greece - for a change from our usual choices of Crete, and Kos etc.- and as ever it was left to me to choose the appropriate dwelling for our two weeks.away. I decided on Naxos, only accessible by ferry via a chartered flight to Mykonos (if partaking in a package), the largest Island in the Cyclades.. The week before Christmas of 2004 I booked and paid a small deposit of £90 to Kosmar - a Greek holiday specialist in the UK - the balance of £600 was due the following June - plenty of time to save. The hubby wanted to book flights and accommodation separately but I like the security of a package holiday! The Outbound Journey We leave Brum...

guinness world records 2010

Advantages: entertanining read
Disadvantages: expensive

...FANTASTIC ENTERTAINING EXTRAORDINARY FACTS I got given this book for a christmas present yesterday and I was really pleased when I opened it, I'm a fan of the books and I've read a few others and I think the book has been the bet of them all. The front cover of the book is blue and shiny with silver writing and no pictures. I really like the front cover even though its quite plain. I think it is unique and when you see it you know exactly what the book is. As the title suggests this book is all about people who have broken world records and it tells you what these records are. It is really entertaining and the records can be really crazy. Inside the book on the first page it tells you abit about the book and how to be a record breaker. Then there is a contents page followed by an introduction. Some of the records the book...

yamaha descant recorder

Advantages: easy to learn
Disadvantages: none

...I started of playing the descant recorder in primary school, (many years ago,) we started of with the old fashioned wooden ones, by the time I moved to secondary school , the wooden recorder had changed, it was now plastic and dark brown in colour. I was taught the descant hand recorder all through school, we were taught two ways to remember the notes the first set of notes was F - A -C - E, the way to remember this was the word "FACE". the second set of notes was E - G - B - D - F and the way to remember these notes was to remember a short rhymn, which is "every good boy deserves fun." There is about 4 or 5 other recorders, one of them being the treble, Im not sure about the rest of them as I never played them, I just stuck to the wee descant recorder. I think when people think of the descant hand recorder, they class...

Unusual teen flick-Empire Records

Advantages: Quirky, fun and great soundtrack
Disadvantages: Predictable and a little sappy on occasions

...I first watched Empire records as a teenager and thought it was one of the best films ever made. Now nostalgia can make me watch it again and again and although I have down-graded it somewhat from 'World's Greatest Movie', I still feel that this is a good film about young adult life and deserves to be a teen classic. The film is about a group of teenagers who work in an independent record store (called Empire Records) run by Joe. The story opens with one of the employees, Lucas, discovereidng that the store is not making enough money and may be sold to a chain called Music Town. To try and save the shop he takes the day's takings and tries to win gambling in Atlantic City but ends up losing it all. Empire Records now in serious danger of having to be sold to the chain, the film follows one day in the life of the store and it's employees...

Daily Record

Advantages: Frankie Boyle, Tam Cowan
Disadvantages: Jim McLean

...The Daily record is the only paper that I regularly read all the way through. The paper basically just prints daily news on what's happening mainly in the Britain, but also some news from the US and elsewhere. I focus mainly on the back sport pages, then go back to the front and work my way through the more amusing stories. The sports section is pretty good. Most of the information printed is generally correct, unlike the it's main rival... Hotline is included within the sports section. This can be frustrating to read as it is people who have phoned in who's often opinions are printed. Most of which are from people who don't really watch sport it seems. The Daily Record is home to my two favourite columnists - Tam Cowan and the recently recruited Frankie Boyle. My least favourite columnist being Jim McLean who I generally...

Guinness World Record Breaker!

Advantages: Good variation of mini-games
Disadvantages: Can lose its appeal to adults quickly

...As a child I used to get a Guinness Book of Records every year for Christmas so I've always been quite interested in the whole idea of the records. When I saw that there was a Videogame dedicated to the records, I could not resist. The game begins by giving you the option to choose a character which you can customise in a way similar to that of the Miis. Clothes, hair colour, accessories and, of course, name. At this point, I must say, mine looks pretty damn cool. Once you have made the introductions you are straight into the action. There are around 40 mini-games available to play but you have to 'unlock' them by completing the basic games and earning enough to points to play the more advanced ones. The games are all fairly easy to play but sometimes the instructions are not explained clearly enough and you have to figure it out as...
