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...

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...

CD-OK

Advantages: Store yor data, free your hard drive
Disadvantages: come on a spindle and have no cases

..., video, music and data. Also they will burn at up 52X speed. ***Smell*** The CD's upon opening still have that sterile factory smell about them. ***Quality*** I have used five of these discs already, all with success. The music that I added has was of good quality My CD-RW has no problem picking them up and nor does my stereo. ***Problems*** The one problem that I find with CD-R's on a spindle is that they scratch easily whilst still on the spindle. TDK CD-R80 are no different. You should take extreme care when taking them off, ensuring that you do not twist them or put fingerprints on them whilst lifting them out. ***Precautions*** As with all CD's there are certain precautions that must be upheld. These are do not expose to high humidity, do not touch writing surface with your fingers, avoid dust, use a proper CD marker...

48 Hour CD Service

Advantages: Cheap chart and new releases. 48 hour delivery typical
Disadvantages: Postage may or may not be included in listed price

...shopping at 101cd, so if you save ipoints it makes it worth your while by purchasing your cds at 101cd. The main let down is postage. On some items it is free, and on others it is extra. Make sure you check and know where you stand on postage charges. The charges are not excessive, it's just that in my opinion everything should either have a charge or no charge to make it simple to know where you stand. You have to create an account to be a customer, and their secure server can save your card details if you so choose, making regular orders easy. All in all a quality cd retailer who always deliver in a reasonable timescale for me. I should point out they also sell dvds, videos, books and games. I haven't tested them out for purchases of these goods yet. Update 13/05/01. I have ordered many times from these, and have always...

no digital camera?_ Kodak Cd

Advantages: receive the benefits of digital photography
Disadvantages: you'll probably still want to buy a digital camera later

...If you do not own a digital camera but want to receive the benefits of digital photography, then I strongly recommend that you try Kodak picture cd. Take your film in to your regular Kodak developer to be processed; add "Kodak picture cd" to the regular developing instructions. When you receive your developed prints, you will also receive a cd that contains all of your pictures. Simply put the cd into the cd-drive of the computer; instructions will pop-up onto the screen and lead you through your options. It is an excellent way to organize and store your photos, but I enjoy the enhancement options. You can crop your photos, remove "red-eye", add captions, and so much more. When you are done, you can email photos to your family and friends, display them in an online photoalbum, or even print them out on your computer (remember to use...

Review of Kodak - Kodak Picture Cd

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

Sega Mega CD? Sega Mega Crap!

Advantages: Grandfather of CD consoles
Disadvantages: The Sega Saturn should have been the grandfather

...Do you know why Sega stopped making games consoles after the Dreamcast and concentrated on making software for other consoles? It is because Sega?s executives have always made stupid, ill-informed decisions. I mean, how many mistakes can a company make before they start to wise up and start doing things properly to make a profit and appeal properly to their fans? The Dreamcast was a step in the right direction, but it was already too late and Sega knew it as well. So now I present you with genesis, the beginning of Sega?s bad decision making with this horrid contraption called the Sega Mega CD. It was made to prolong the life of its aging console, the Sega Mega Drive, since the old ?16bit? and ?BLAST PROCESSING? marketing ploys stopped working. I remember in my childhood that only the rich kids could afford a Mega CD because it was way...

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...

...answer the conundrum of who did exactly kill Amanda. The answer is possibly her home grown pretentiousness or perhaps she topped herself whilst realising just how bad some of her solo stuff is. Anyway, back to the Dolls, and their third release, 'No Virginia...' which cannot technically be defined as their third record. You see, 'No Virginia' isn't anything new or utterly original but that was never the albums intention as its eleven tracks are a compilation of B-Sides and forgotten material from album number deux, 'Yes, Virginia'. It's unfair to expect this particular release to offer something groundbreaking as the bands previous efforts, from the self titled debut and indeed the 'Yes' version of 'No'; both had room for promise and there was a significant jump in the right direction; 'The Dresden Dolls', as a CD, had a raw, rough feel...

Cd Wow Indeed

Advantages: Online/secure payment and free postage
Disadvantages: Takes a few days to arrive/limited choice

...that they are a small company based in Bucks 'decicated to customer satisfaction' which in my book is a first theres not many places like that now especially once they have your money! So, what do they sell? Just CDS? Well no, this site sells DVDs too and games (playstation XBOX etc) Price? Good value for money. Chart CDs are prices at £8.99 each (including pre-releases) and DVDs vary from £7.99 upwards to aprox £16.99. They also do Box sets just like you could buy from HMV or woolies. These obviously vary in price so you are best to check these out on the page for exact prices. Pre-Order? Yes you can pre-order new DVDs and CD's before they are released. Just order in the normal way and it will be despatched as soon as the release date comes around. Delivery? Delivery times are detailed on the web page as aprox times...
