Welcome to Bookworm!

Advantages: Simple to play
Disadvantages: Difficult to stop playing

...There are lots of places you can play this and the one common factor about them all is the game is SUPER ADDICTIVE! Basically its a puzzle game, you try to make words from the letters on the screen. You can only use letters that touch each other and you can only use each letter once. The longer your word is, the more points it earns you & points will not only improve your overall and final score but they will also help you to improve your ranking on the game. And theres one of the addictive factors of the game. How high can I get my score? How high can I get my rank? If your asking that after your 1st few games then you are addicted my friend, but that is NOT a bad thing. Bookworm is educational. Your improving your spelling and you'll learn new words as well (certain versions have a dictionary function that actually tells...

BookWorm

Advantages: easy, cheap, educating, good sound effects.
Disadvantages: can be addictive

...~~INTRODUCTION~~ I have played this game now for a while, just to pass time on. Although the real reason for this game was to learn my son how to make and spell words, in which worked very well after a while of him playing. Let me tell you more about the game?. ~~GAMPLAY~~ Before you starting the game you can edit the options of the game to your own wishes. Then once you click the game you want to play there is a screen that pops up that tells you a little about the game play your about to play so you have an idea of how to play the game. Bookworm is a spelling and making words game. The idea is to make words out of a scrambled board of letters, by highlighting them with a click of your mouse, the letters have to be linked in order to make the word submit, and for each word you get you receive points and also closer to...

A Chump at Oxford

Advantages: Timeless Humour
Disadvantages: Nothing

...Laurel & Hardy Volume 1 - A Chump at Oxford This is a single DVD containing 3 wonderful films; A chump at oxford From soup to nuts Another fine mess The films are in their original black and white format and also ?colourised? version. The main feature is ?A Chump at oxford? This is a superb comedy made when Laurel and Hardy where at their best. By pure accident it seems Stan is related to one of Oxfords finest ?Fellow? and is given a place there with Ollie as his butler. When Stan gets a knock on the head he wiggles those ears and starts fighting everyone in sight, he also thinks that he is a lord until another bang brings him back to normal. Simply brilliant, a fighting Stan is something to behold and worth the money for this movie alone. Second Movie; ?From...

Review of Laurel And Hardy - No. 1 - A Chump At Oxford And Related Shorts (DVD)

No mum it's not a petrol station, it's the Holiday Inn Oxford.

Advantages: Great Price. Good location for roads. Next to park and ride, cheaper than paying for parking!
Disadvantages: Another Holiday Inn, nothing that unique about it. Surly reception staff.

...August sees the birthday of my mother, an annual event that our family comes together to celebrate in one way or another. We have had a rather turbulent year so my brother and I felt it was necessary to take my mother and father away for a birthday celebration as a family. After a good trawl of the internet we decided to visit Oxford. As my brother has two young children it was necessary to consider a family room, ideally with some facilities to keep the children entertained, so we found ourselves at Holiday Inn Oxford. Booking I booked the hotel at www.holidayinn.co.uk as part of their summer promotion. The rate was half price at £49 a night including breakfast which for Oxford in the heart of summer was cheap. The credit crunch certainly has provided us with LOTS of bargains! Once booked I received an e-mail confirmation...

The Oxford Dictionary of Rhymes

Advantages: Easy to use, comprehensive
Disadvantages: None

...Let's suppose you are a poet or a song writer and you need a rhyme. Rather than beating your brains out for hours on end wasting paper, what you need is a copy of what is probably the world's best English language rhyming dictionary, the Oxford Dictionary of Rhymes. Actually, it is not just a English language rhyming language dictionary, as well as proper names and pace names, it contains foreign teems, too. Unlike some behemoth rhyming dictionaries, this one is of a sensible size. I can imagine a poet in his or her garret, notebook in one hand, pen or pencil between teeth, with the Oxford Dictionary of Rhymes in their other hand. How is the book laid out? Firstly there is a preface which explains what the book is and also why it is. Then there is the introduction by John Lennard. Actually, this is more than a mere introduction. It...

Experience Thaiand in Oxford

Advantages: Great food, great service, A little piece of thailand
Disadvantages: I havent found any

...Having just returned from my around the world trip, I was happy to re-visit this gem of a restaurant in Oxford. Bangkok house is my favourite Thai restaurant and only a few places in Thailand delivered food as good as this. We decided to go to the restaurant for lunch today. The reason we did this was simple - the restaurant has for the past 2 years offered a one plate lunch meal menu for £5. However, having not been here since been back in the UK I decided to go for the set menu of a starter and main for £9.95. So here is my experience. Location ------------ The restaurant is located in the historic university city of Oxford. The restaurant is located slightly out of the hustle and bustle of the city centre, just next to the canal and within a couple of minute walk to the castle site and the Universities. Immediately across the road...

OXFORD TUBE - SIMPLY AND EASY TO USE

Advantages: stressfree, quick, easy to use
Disadvantages: may be separated if bus is full up

...We went to London on Saturday to see The Sound Of Music at the London Palladium. As accommodation is expensive in London, we decided to stay at our usual Premier Travel Inn at Didcot and drive in. However, somebody recommended the Oxford Tube, so we decided to give ourselves a stress free trip and not have to worry about parking and booked the Oxford Tube instead. What is the Oxford Tube? Well, The Oxford Tube is a bus service that at peak times runs every 15 minutes between Oxford and London. We were very happy with the Tube and will definitely be using it again. There are a number of stops in Oxford where you can get on and off, namely: Speedwell Street, St Aldgates, Gloucester Green, High Street, St Clements, Oxford Brookes University, Headington, Gladstone Road, Green Road and Sandhills. We got on at Thornhills Park...

The bookworms' friend

Advantages: Fast and efficient service
Disadvantages: None as yet

...at their site was on behalf of my sister who lives in Toronto, Canada. She is an avid bookworm and had been trying to purchase a book by one of her favourite authors Sheila O'Flanaghan but couldn't get it in Canada. I looked on Amazons site and found it. I thought I would try and see how secure their site was and went through the process of putting it in my shopping trolley (just like at Tescos!). The process was very straightforward and the padlock was on the toolbar which meant that the screen I was working in was very secure and should not be "hacked" into. It asked me for the address I wanted to send the book to and I thought that I was going to have a problem sending it to Canada but I did not have any problems whatsoever. It gave me the cost of the book and I had to choose whether I wanted a new book or secondhand one. I chose new...

Why Oxford?

Advantages: Friendly students and social life, Fantastic societies to get involved with, Proximity to London
Disadvantages: Very academic! Highly pressurised and very stressful

...The aura surrounding Oxford is one which contributes significantly to the pressure on students who are accepted to the university. Not only do they have to contend with very intense workloads and deadlines, but they have to finish term without collapsing and return home to face the curiosity (and often anticipation) of friends and family - making it difficult to admit that the experience may not be as rewarding as it seemed initially. My own experience of Oxford (so far, as a 1st year) has been very mixed and very intense. Without a doubt, the college you find yourself at and the course you have chosen can make or break your time at the university - because there is simply no time to turn back once term has begun. The intensity of the institution demands excellent self-organisation and motivation, because despite the well-known tutorial...
