Too weak to notice?

Advantages: funny in parts, Hugh Grant is pretty to look at!
Disadvantages: Not the huge rom-com you may be expecting

...I am re-watching some of my DVD's as I'm trying to save a bit of money, and anything that distracts me from going out and spending has got to be a good thing! Two Weeks Notice was a film I really wanted to see, as I love Hugh Grant (I know, I know, but there's just something about him!) and when I bought this, my boyfriend at the time had a bit of a thing for Sandra Bullock (Apparently she has a sexy voice) and so I thought this would be a great way of persuading him to watch a chick flick! When we actually watched this though, I remember being quite disappointed. I was expecting a huge romance, however I thought it fell a bit flat, so it's only now, a couple of years later, that I have watched it for the second time... ~The Plot~ Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock) is a top lawyer who graduated from Harvard and has strong morals. In...

What a smart board!

Advantages: interactive, great display, useful resources, great teaching tool
Disadvantages: pens and remote too easy to steal, callibration issues

...PLEASE NOTE - PUNCTUATION STILL DOES NOT SEEM TO BE DISPLAYING CORRECTLY IN MY REVIEWS. COME ON CIAO - SORT IT OUT!!! Teaching in schools has been revolutionised by the use of interactive whiteboards in classrooms. These boards have been gradually replacing the standard ?dry wipe? whiteboard as the central focus point of the classroom. There are two main brands used in schools at the moment and these are the Promethean Interactive Whiteboard and the SMART board. The Promethean uses one pen as the means of interacting with the board, where as the SMART board uses four coloured pens, an ?eraser? and you can also use your finger. I understand that this is not a product that anyone is likely to buy for their house as is main use is within schools, colleges, universities etc (having said that, businesses are now beginning to invest in...

Two Weeks Notice

Advantages: funny
Disadvantages: extras are poor

...Being a big fan of girly movies, when Two Weeks Notice was released at the cinema, for me it was a must see movie and I wasn’t disappointed. So when it was released on DVD at the end of last year I decided to add this to my growing DVD collection. I ordered this from the amazon website for around £15.99 but you can now get it for around £10.99 depending on where you purchase it from. Two weeks notice is a romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant. Sandra Bullock plays Lucy Kelson, she is a hippy with a law degree. She is trying to save a building from being demolished by the company that George Wade (Hugh Grant) owns. Lucy ends up going to work for George’s company. She sorts out his divorce for him and she helps him to make lots of very important decisions such as what envelopes the company should use...

boards for writing on then wiping clean

Advantages: saves paper
Disadvantages: none

...an enameled board mostly steel these days but sometimes hardboard still. This enameling gives a bright white glossy surface to write on using a special whiteboard pen.The images clean and bright. Some white boards have a line printed on them so that your child can write on the line others have grid squares printed on them. Using a white board is good for asthma and those who are allergic to chalk dust. They are we have several white board erasers sometimes the children use them but often I have use these erasers to clean the white board some in stock at Amazon for £3,99 I have seen white boards in a pine frame some with half white board some cork board ideal for message/notice leaving at home. we have several white board erasers sometimes the children use them but often I have use these erasers to clean the white board some in stock...

Two Weeks' Notice? Nah, I Quit Already!

Advantages: Hugh and Sandra are pleasant eye-candy.
Disadvantages: It's rather dull.

...INTRODUCTION I wanted to see this film from the first time I heard about it. I finally managed to watch it today and unfortunately, it disappointed. This must be the first Hugh Grant film that I haven’t loved. Notting Hill, Bridget Jones, Sirens, About A Boy – great films, great acting and the lovely Hugh Grant. I also really like Sandra Bullock and my favourite genre of film is that of romantic comedies. So on paper, Two Weeks’ Notice ticked all the boxes. It sounded exactly my kind of film and I was looking forward to seeing it at last. PLOT The basic plot is that Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock) is a lawyer who has graduated from Harvard. She is feisty, intelligent and principled. She protests against the destruction of local buildings, relying on her sympathetic parents to bale her out. When she begins...

Mammy Can I Go On My Bubby Board Now Preeeze.

Advantages: Saves lugging a double buggy everywhere. Easily detachable and fun for my son!
Disadvantages: Read down sides in op!

...Well my sons almost two and a half now and likes to walk everywhere or rather says he?s going to then ten minutes down the road and he wants a carry. Now this wasn?t to bad when I only had one child but now with a daughter too I had to think of a remedy for the situation. I originally bought a second hand double buggy (I wanted to see if I?d like them before shelling out a wad of dosh on a new one) when I was pregnant with my daughter but after two weeks I found it weighed ton and was very cumbersome getting on and off public transport so I decided I wanted buy a buggy board. I remembered reading about this wonderful invention here on ciao but I?d not seen anybody with one attached to their buggy. I asked about and my cousin said she?d seen a few people with them and they looked okay, she also said that the children on them...

Review of Kiddy Buggy Board

and finally, God created the buggy board......

Advantages: easy to use, Detachable,
Disadvantages: expensive,

.... And off course the total weight of what you have to push forward increased. You need to be in good physical condition to go uphill. But then again, your oldest one can step of the plank and walk. The board is made of a strong plastic, the wheels are made of some kind of rubber/plastic and are plugged into the board with an iron pin. They roll very smoothly. The board connects to the stroller through an adjustable triangular connection piece that fits almost every size of crossbar you find behind strollers. You can simply disconnect the board from this piece whenever the board is not needed, and click it back on when it is. There is a rope that can be put through the bottom of the board for the child to hold on to, but we never used it so far. It seems better and safer for the child to hold on to the stroller while walking. The wheels...

Wii! It's the noise you make when you fall off the board

Advantages: Adds new dimensions to the Wii console
Disadvantages: a bit bulky to store in a small cottage

...Fit and I set up my profile for fitness. That took about five minutes, at the end of which time I was totally shattered, although I was pleased to note that, even in my weakened state, my posture and centre of gravity was very good but my coordination on the stepping dance routine was totally dreadful. I had to give up because my profuse sweating had left the top of the board in a dangerous and slippery condition. Since then I have been trying it regularly and have noticed an improvement in my general level of fitness and even my foot coordination has improved. I was starting from a very low point so it has been a great way to track my recovery. Is It Hard to Set Up The Board is easy to set up with the console, simply load the batteries, switch it on and load a game that requires the board. pressing the synch buttons...

Should it be called The Notice Board

Advantages: Get the latest info on the goings on at Ciao.
Disadvantages: No possibility of member interaction and discussion

...I believe that Ciao's Community Centre is actually named wrongly. It should be called something like Ciao Members Notice Board, because to me a community centre is where people would discuss the developments at Ciao. So what is at the 'Community Centre'? Just notices and lists. Here you can find out about the most read authors/opinions for the last week, new members, site faults, links to contact Ciao by e-mail to report abuse, suggst new categories etc. Basically it's a notice board where the Ciao administrators leave information for the members of the site. A true community centre would include features where members could gather and discuss the latest issues and developments, such as a forum or a chatroom. Why don't we have these features? I believe it's because these features would be open to more abuse, than is currently...

Girls, notice this

Advantages: A true chick flick,pure escapism
Disadvantages: No guesses how it finishes

...I , being a chick, am quite partial to the odd romantic film. I like to laugh and swoon with the best of them. This is a film that comes through with all guns blazing for us girls. It is based on the relationship between an affable yet self-seeking tycoon, played in his usual debonair fashion by Hugh Grant, and an environmentally concious lawyer played by Sandra Bullock. The plot centres around their developing relationship after he manages to employ her, and his increasing dependance on her, until something has to change.Her "two week notice" then ensues. Alicia Witt is then introduced to provide the fly in the ointment.She does not play the archetypal baddie as such ,yet her character does tend to conform to stereotypes seen in most of the films in this genre. Despite its adherence to the well worn...
