A Desert Oasis

Advantages: Far too many too many to mention.
Disadvantages: Haggling at the Bazaar

...We rarely spend Christmas at home and prefer to get away from the miserable English weather to somewhere hot, but our choices are normally limited. This Christmas just gone we decided to go to Egypt where we knew we would be guaranteed the sun. We stayed at the Reef Oasis Blue Bay Resort and Spa from 21st December 08 until 2nd January 09. The hotel is situated just outside Ne'ama Bay at Sharm El Sheikh, just a 15 minute drive from Sharm airport. Situated in the Sinai Peninsular and overlooking the Beautiful Red Sea. I should mention this is classed as a 5* hotel and is all inclusive. (643 rooms on two floors) First Impressions On arrival we found ourselves travelling along a very grand, tree lined driveway, the trees were dripping with fairy lights, it was like entering Santa's grotto, very, very magical...

Review of Reef Oasis Blue Bay Resort and Spa

Oasis sickening drink.

Advantages: Tastes nice,
Disadvantages: Left me feeling sick after drinking it

...PACKAGING This comes in a medium sized, thick, see through, plastic bottle with a blue lid and blue label with "oasis" written on it in big white letters with bright red coloring highlighting them. There is pictures of stawberries and cherries on the label and it is very nicely designed. It definitely has the type of packaging which would encourage me to buy it. On the back theres a sign to advice against littering and one to show that the box is recyclable . The lid has a sign on the top to indicate that you twist the lid around to open it. (Like we need to know that LOL) It also asks "thristy?" then says "job done", and it says best served chilled which in my opinion it is. It also says still summer fruit juice drink with sugar and sweetners. NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION, TYPICAL VALUES PERS 100ML * Energy - 76.kg, 18...

Review of Oasis Summer Fruits

Oasis

Advantages: good music
Disadvantages: arrogant and badly behaved?

...Whether you like them or hate them, this established band seems here to stay for some time more. Who are they? The band formed in 1993 in Manchester, UK. Oasis performed their first gig 11 years ago and it was 8 years since their debut album with their first single ?Supersonic? from April 1994. They have travelled beyond novelty into a well-established band. There was a time when I was thinking that it might be the last we will hear from them. However, to come back down from the mid-nineties of Blur versus Oasis, it is hardly surprising that people might question them when they no longer stay at the very top. As with all bands, they come and go in the pop charts but they will still remain to have dedicated fans. Oasis seem to have transcended above being pop icons from the Britpop days into a band that sticks to...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

An Oasis of Brilliance!!!

Advantages: Full of Oasis attitude and quality
Disadvantages: Too "Beatles" at times

...If one album could ever be held up as an emblem of true love, then it is this one. Strange, you may say, that it is an Oasis album that holds this honour, but let me enlighten you. The Britpop debate of the 90's divided the nation. Many, including my better half, loved Blur. They loved Damon Albarn's impish charm and cheery delivery, and the coquettish way that Alex James threw his hair around whilst playing bass. I, on the other hand, thought they were a bunch of soft namby-pambies and thought of Albarn as nothing more than an irritating weasel, capable of delivering the odd reasonable song. Oasis, however, was the colossus of the genre, delivering in your face, arrogant rock to a disenchanted and sceptical youth, who were desperate for change at a time when a disenfranchised Conservative government were widely distrusted. "This is...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Flamingo Oasis

Advantages: All inclusive, Don't need to leave it for anything
Disadvantages: Lifts

...I have just recently got home from the Flamingo Oasis hotel in Benidorm, which is an all inclusive hotel which has been an absolute pleasure staying in. I arrived just before ten o clock on Saturday 30th June after a very long one hour bus journey from the airport. I immediately walked into an extremely large and spacious reception area where the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and they all speak fantastic English. Because it was so late we were given a temporary room card which we could use to get our free drinks for the night, these were replaced in the morning by cards which had a photo of me on it which was taken there and then using a digital camera connected to a pc. These are used to prove to the security guards and bar staff that you stay in the hotel and they are also rooms cards which is handy as I didn?t need...

Noel Gallagher presents: Oasis, Summer Fruits

Advantages: Taste, Low in Sugar and Calories, Sweet, Fruity
Disadvantages: E numbers may put some off, Could be heavy in price

...I wanted something a bit fruity yesterday so decided upon on trying Oasis Summer fruits drink instead of a fizzy drink like Coke again, despite the fact these cost a little bit more they are healthier and won't rot my teeth. There was the summer fruits and the citrus punch flavours available both for around 97p for a 500ml bottle. The bottle is adorned with a lovely label showing off the mixture of fruits contained with in images of Cherry's, Strawberry's, Redcurrants and Apples. Rather tauntingly to be honest considering the summer us British folk seem to have ahead of us seems more like it's going to be cold wet and windy and the only summer fruits we have are the people that told us it was going to be hot and lovely. The juice is a lovely dark red colour, a blend no doubt of having a lot of Cherry, Red Currant and Strawberry...

Review of Oasis Summer Fruits

A jab from Oasis

Advantages: Taste is ok, smooth, easy to drink
Disadvantages: Too many E's and added sweetners

...As the Orange coloured product in the Oasis range, this one is ?Citrus? punch, and not (as I had all but expected ?Orange? flavoured). The colour is a rather dull and blunt orange, which is made to look even more boring by the lack of any fizz or bubble, when compared to the bright and vibrant Carrot and Pumpkin enhanced Fanta this just looks old and dated. Ever noticed how most still drinks seem to automatically look a bit boring and nonchalant? Having liked the summer fruits version of the same drink a few days I felt having the ?orange? would be just as good and sattisfying as the Summer Fruits version. A combination of Lemon, Oranges and Tangerines (which I'd always been told WERE baby oranges) in a wonderfully smooth blend, that seems to be the Oasis trademark when it comes to the brand of drink, when drank the smoothness is...

Review of Oasis Citrus Punch

An Oasis Among Clutter!

Advantages: Calming Stores, Friendly Staff, Great Clothing!
Disadvantages: Slightly pricey!

...As any of you who read my reviews regularly will know, I?m a complete shopping addict ? I don?t even have a problem admitting it and apparently that?s the first step to reform! I?m always choosy about where I shop though, strictly speaking I wouldn?t say labels are important to me although I do have this sort of secondary complex in my head that believes people are staring at my clothing ? when I?m wearing my worst items in public, we?ve all got them, the top you wear to paint your kitchen, or the trousers you wear to walk the dog ? oh yes I hear you all say. But when I?m leaving the safety of my four walls I always like to look my best, as do all girls of course and that?s why it?s important for me to be dressed comfortably (and unnecessarily expensively my bank manager would argue)! I?ve always been a fan of Oasis, ever since I hit...
