Aurora

Advantages: Position, cleanliness, staff
Disadvantages: None although may be too quiet for some

...preference when booking. The bed was very comfortable (firm but not hard) and there was satellite tv, mini bar and a safe in the large wardrobe. There was also a desk/dressing table in the room and bedside tables. Our room was on the left side of the hotel as you face the front and there was a building being erected next door on that side. However, there wasn't any work going on while we were there. Breakfast is served between 6.30 and 10.00 am in a dedicated room in the basement which is very clean and well stocked. It may be that we were late both mornings, but we didn't see any staff or other guests! It was standard continental fare - pastries, cereals, cold meats, cheese, boiled eggs, fruit, yoghurt, juice, coffee etc. The food was all good but the pastries were excellent. There is no restaurant in the hotel but there are very...

Review of Aurora, Tivoli

Auroraing success

Advantages: Comfy for baby. Wide easy to clean tray.
Disadvantages: Assembly instructions poor. Difficult to adjust height.

.... The shoulder straps have to be clipped into the strap that goes between his legs, so there's no temptation to take shortcuts when strapping him in, although the buckle itself is a bit vicious - I have to ensure little'uns hands are well out of the way, at least there's no chance of him undoing it himself! The double tray is great, it's a lovely wide tray with a molded cup holder - they have kindly stated that it can go straight in the dishwasher, but the fact that it doesn't fit in mine makes it a bit of a useless sales claim. It's easy enough to wipe down. As well as all the functions I insisted upon for the high chair, the aurora plus also has; Multi height positioning - I haven't quite worked this out. It's supposedly so you can bring it down to normal family dining table height - great! However, I can't get it near my table even...

Review of Cosatto Aurora Plus High Chair

Sol Aurora, Umag, Croatia. Like Spain, Only better.

Advantages: Beautiful country, great hotel, nice food, cheaper than Spain
Disadvantages: None Really.

...My wife and I spent a couple of weeks at the Sol Aurora, Umag, in June 2007. We have been to several places around Europe, e.g. The Baleriks, Spain, Italy, but fancied something a little different. Not being a fan of flying, I usually look for places within a 3 hr flight from Leeds/Bradford, Croatia is only 2hr 20mins away, so seemed ideal. Umag itself is a very nice smallish town, with a small port, located to the north of Croatia, on the coast of the Adriatic, only a few miles from the boarder with Serbia. The locals are very friendly, the weather is similar to northern Spain, and with Croatia not being in the Euro, prices are very reasonable. The Sol Aurora Hotel is a 4 star, situated just north of the town of Umag, almost directly on the beach, wel, I say beach, it is actually a concrete sun terrace, but there are plenty...

Review of Sol Aurora, Umag

Chanel No. 5 - eternal Femininity.

Advantages: sensual and feminine floral hart, good staying powder
Disadvantages: aldehydes - not everyone is used to this smell; can be found old-fashioned

...Chanel No. 5 will always remain a controversial perfume. Although used and praised for decades it's still a love or hate fragrance. I think it's because of aldehydes, the most important constituents of this fragrance. They possess a waxy, fatty smell that often makes think on washed and dried clothe. Aldehydes are found in nature (for example in a citrus peel), but never in amounts used in Chanel No. 5. That makes this smell a bit unnatural from one side, but it also gives an interesting exotic twist. In my opinion EDP is much softer than EDT version - the aldehydes are less sharp and the floral bouquet is more prominent. On my skin it starts with a fresh citrus note that slightly fades into a floral hart of orange blossom, rose and jasmine. An ultimate feminine bouquet, but modernized with waxy sharpness of the aldehydes...

Review of Chanel No.5 Eau De Parfum Spray

No5 you're my No 1.

Advantages: Price is rarely discounted
Disadvantages: Price is rarely discounted

...How do you write a useful opinion on a perfume for someone who?s never smelt it? The answer is you probably can?t, but I?ll try anyhow. Firstly and most important, if you?ve never tried Chanel No5, DO NOT BUY IT UNTIL YOU?VE TESTED IT. This may seem a bit pedantic but I?m only telling you so you don?t waste your money buying a perfume which, when worn, may not suit you. I love the smell of Coco in the bottle, but whenever I try to wear it, it smells like cat pee. That?s the thing with perfumes. They really do smell different on different people. Now, why should you buy, or even test No5? Because it?s classy. It has no specific age range (i.e. it?s not old woman?s perfume. You know which I mean.). I?ve worn No5 since my first decent wage and I?ll go on wearing it ?til my pension won?t stretch to it. Though if it?s a choice between...

The Book With No Plot

Advantages: It's different...
Disadvantages: Not terribly cohesive, too many characters and sub-plots.

...This was a very strange book and one that I picked up as I was intrigued by the title and the fact that the author was Anonymous. According to the blurb on the back of the book this was originally self-published on the internet. The plot centres around (unsurprisingly) "The Book With No Name" - a book which if read leads to the death of the reader. I thought this sounded quite interesting but the mysterious book is not as central as you would assume from the premise. The other main plot focus is on the retrieval of a precious stone known as "The Eye of the Moon". This stone is rumoured to have magical powers and is guarded by a group of monks known as Hubals who live on an island. The book is set in Santa Mondega, a town that is a dangerous place to live and one that is conveniently forgotten about by the rest of the country. We are...

Review of The Book With No Name - Anonymous

No, no, NO Virginia!

Advantages: There really are a couple of stunning tracks and it is essentially the same Dolls sound
Disadvantages: You get the impression that many of the tracks are recycled versions of better songs...

...The Dresden Dolls are one of those amazing bands that are hard to categorize; not in the case of HIM where I lazily describe their genre as 'gothic' for the sake of it. The band from Boston, Ma are a bit different to all of that and instead of being gothic, the Dresden Dolls created their own genre for themselves, namely Brechtian punk cabaret. No idea what it means but it looks good on a computer screen! Technically, lead singer, pianist and songwriter Amanda Palmer and drummer Brian Viglione aren't together as the Dresden Dolls anymore. Well at least for the moment. Being on a sabbatical, in which Palmer decided to self indulge herself senseless with her solo debut 'Who Killed Amanda Palmer?' and Brian continued to work on his drumming, having lectured at some pretty prestigious Universities across America, fans were left to...

No Escapin' This

Advantages: Lots of club bangers
Disadvantages: Lyrics are pretty weak when he's involved

...Going then by the name Puff Daddy, Sean Combs released his debut rap album as Puff Daddy and the Family in 1997 with ?No Way Out?. The release saw him taking on the hype from his lead artist?s final album (The Notorious B.I.G.?s ?Life After Death?; which unfortunately came directly following his death) as you find Puffy working with those on his Bad Boy label as the likes of Mase, Lil? Kim and Black Rob all step up to assist him on his first venture into the whole of rapping, whilst still continuing to produce much of the music for it. 1. ?No Way Out? (Intro) 2. ?Victory? Getting things underway you have a pretty exciting one, and I feel that much of this came down to the empowering production which is made to gets its full potential reached by having Busta Rhymes act as the hype man to the music on the hook as Biggie and Puffy...

deal or no deal

Advantages: great show
Disadvantages: none

...Deal or no deal is my favorite game show, it is currently on channel 4 early in the evening or late in the afternoon for some, i love watching this and find it very entertaining. The show is presented by Noel Edmonds and is filmed in Bristol. The show starts with 22 contestants choosing randomly one of 22 boxes that all have a money value inside but have been sealed previous to this so no one has any idea what is in there box. One of the 22 contestants is selected to play deal or no deal where they have to play through rounds selecting boxes to be opened in an attempt to eliminate the low numbers listed in blue and keep the high numbers hopefully winning the top prize of £250,000 and not going home with the 1p although there are more people in the 1p club than have won the big prize. In the first round the player gets to...
