Norman strikes again!

Advantages: For everyone aged 4-100!
Disadvantages: If he is not your cup of tea I suppose he could be irritating!

...running a womens hairdressers. Julio Napolotono (played by Norman Wisdom also) is an italian type gangster who specialises in the running of organised robberies through his salon. When Norman has his chance he does get so excited he almost messes it up but not quite! MY THOUGHTS ***************** This is another classic in black and white,some very funny scenes including fighting himself at the end,and when he unofficially referees a football match on the street,and repeatedly blowing his whistles sent 200 other policeman on a wild goose chase! Rating 8/10 MAN OF THE MOMENT...

Jane Norman

Advantages: Lovely selection
Disadvantages: Sizes

... For Starters Jane Norman to me as a teenager was always slightly too expensive and if you bought anything in there, you used the bag for your PE kit for at least a few weeks!! Now i'm older and earning, I realise that Jane Norman isn't drop dead designer, and is actually pretty affordable, and always up to date on trend. So as you can imagine, on this discovery I started popping in there every time I pass. You can actually commonly spot Jane Norman in most shopping centres so they are not easy to avoid. Who's it for This is definately a younger design shop even the music played inside is mostly aimed at the 20 - 30 age. But as with most clothes shops now, the brand is diversifying and now most of their designs can be worn by many. Clothing Range I find Jane Norman a great place to go if you have a little party...

Review of Trouble In Store (DVD)

Wisdom?

Advantages: A real-life adventure of the most poetic kind
Disadvantages: Heavy going in places, a few doubts on strict authenticity

...Lawrence of Arabia! Even to those who do not know, it must sound romantic, exotic, adventurous! Of course Lawrence was all of those things?but what else was he, and did I really hope to find out by reading his seminal work? Seven Pillars of Wisdom has been on my reading list for as long as I can remember. It slipped gradually as other romances and adventures intruded?it rose again during a visit to Cloudshill about five years ago, and this time it refused to go away. The insight into the man afforded by that small Dorset cottage nestled in the back of my brain and I knew that sooner or later I was going to have to attempt this mighty tome. A planned trip to Jordan meant that there was no longer any excuse. (Ironic that the trip should then be cancelled.) The Folio society colluded by offering me a sumptuous new edition. Not...

Review of Seven Pillars of Wisdom - T. E Lawrence

Don't Laugh At Me Cause I Am A Reviewer.

Advantages: Buy this to listen to TWO great nostalgic songs.
Disadvantages: There are 20 awful songs as well!

...There are celebrities, there are stars and then there are legends. Sir Norman Wisdom, 94 years young as I write this review, is most certainly an entertainment legend in his own lifetime. Like many British entertainers of the 1940s and 50s he was multi talented and could do just about anything brilliantly from comedy to acting to dancing to writing to singing. I am not going to pretend that this 22 track 1CD album is a breathtaking masterpiece of post war crooning but I will say that his signature tune which is track 1 "Don't Laugh At Me (Cause I'm A Fool)" is worth the whole purchase price alone. Track 22, "Me And My Gal" is also very good. In between, most of the other songs are slow tempo dreary sounding ballads set to mediocre string arrangements or very forgettable massively dated sounding ditty ballads accompanied by big...

Review of Very Best Of Norman Wisdom, The - Norman Wisdom

Norman Wisdom, You Can't Beat it

Advantages: Very Funny
Disadvantages: None

...pose as this master criminal and gain information to break the gang and put them all behind bars. Opinions: ******** I enjoy Norman Wisdom films and thoroughly enjoyed this daft romp. The slapstick is on par with his other films but the gags are a bit thin on the ground. He was underestimated as a multi faceted actor and here he plays two characters very well. The chase scene where hundreds of coppers are chasing him is superb. No Mr Grimsdale on this outing. ~DVD Features~ ************* Language: English Sub Titles: None Region: Region: 2 Number of discs: 1 Classification: U Run Time: 101 minutes ASIN: B00005Q57R Amazon price: £9.99 Greg...

Review of On The Beat (DVD)

Brushing Some Wisdom into Your Little One.

Advantages: Take care of that first set of teeth.
Disadvantages: None

...I was so excited when my baby boy cut his first tooth; it was a glorious moment to see that first shinny white tooth and that is just how I wanted it and anymore to remain. Once the gums were no longer tender I decided to get him his first toothbrush. On my next shopping trip I looked at the different toothbrushes that were suitable for his age, there really isn't that many different types which made it easier to choose. I liked the look of the Wisdom toothbrush as it was bright and chunky with a handle. So it stood out from the others on the shelf. It is suitable for babies from 0 - 2 years although I wouldn't use it myself until the tooth is showing and there is no signs of irritations or sore gums, you don't want to put baby off by making it uncomfortable. Prior to this I used a flannel to clean his first tooth before using this...

Review of Wisdom Kids Step-by-Step Toothbrush

Far out wisdom.

Advantages: Entertainment for students and populous alike
Disadvantages: May not be for everybody, but it should be.

...I am not sure just how you could classify this work. I have seen it classified as a work of non-fiction on one web site. But it is based on some of the fantasy works of Mr T Pratchett. As that great and distinguished scribe and scholar Mr T. Pratchett has told us "Wisdom always seems wiser when it comes from far away." Well this must be very wise as it comes to us all the way from The Discworld itself. This is a compilation of many humorous sayings and quotations from the many books that have introduced us to the myriad delights of The Discworld. The Discworld, as I am sure that most of you now know is a very large disc shaped world carried on the backs of four large elephants that in turn are carried on the back of a gigantic space going turtle. This world has its own seasons and population who resemble the population of our...
