Pop In For A Pint At The Prince

Advantages: Close to the Millennium Stadium, and taxis!
Disadvantages: Popular so can be busy.

...Background ----------------- No doubt you are all familiar with the chain of pubs to which the Prince of Wales belongs. That being J.D.Wetherspoons. I have had problems with Wetherspoon's in the past myself but that was Newcastle and far too long a story to tell here! On the whole however Wetherspoons have become a respected name in the pub scene. New Wetherspoons are cropping up everywhere! As a general rule Wetherspoons adopt a policy of buying a derelict building and converting it into one of there pubs. The result being that a lovely old style building gets a much needed facelift and the pub itself has a grander feel to it than your local. True to form The Prince of Wales, Cardiff has been adapted from an old cinema to the public house you see today. Location ------------ This pub is in a prime location, on Wood...

Review of The Prince of Wales (Cardiff)

THE PRINCE

Advantages: Contraversial
Disadvantages: Introduction is long

...GENERAL INFORMATION The Prince is the work of Machiavelli that describes primarily how a Prince (Ruler) can retain his empire. In the book he describes how different empires can use different strategums to retain power, and which are the most affective. Including political and warfare strategies that have been a success and those that have failed as examples. Machiavelli discusses in The Prince the different kinds of Principalities then goes on to say that the essential foundations for any state, whether old or new, are sound laws and strong military forces. He discribes different defences and military strategies. Other subjects discussed are the reputation of the Prince, Generosity Vs Parsimony, Cruelty Vs Mercy, Avoiding contempt and hatred, Gaining honours, Nobles and staff, Avoiding flatterers and Fortune. Nicolo...

A Prince and reality?

Advantages: wasted an hour when i was hungover
Disadvantages: a waste of an hour i could have been doing something else

...that Paige is a very focussed young woman the sort who puts off people by being focussed to the exclusion of anything else. Eddie (Prince Edvard of Denmark) is a playboy prince he has no focus and does nothing except have fun to the chargin of his parents and delight of the paparazzi. Until he decides he needs to get away and discover himself, in of all the places Winsconsin. So he enrolls at the college that Paige attends and running in to her early earns her dislike. She is dismayed when he becomes her lab partner in her main Chemistry class. But after she gives him a piece of her mind about his 'spoilt little rich kid' ways he decides to change (anyone else find his skinny body a total turn off?), starting with a job at the bar in which she also works. This is his way to win her over. Predictably he achieves this as she...

Just Popping

Advantages: Reasonably priced for a double, not too heavy when folded
Disadvantages: its a double... who seriously wants a double!?

...When I sold my Phil & Teds Sport Double pushchair a few weeks back I had thought that I would do fine without a double stroller. My two year old is a strong walker and if i am frank, since returning to work it is only the occassional time where I have both children out and about at once and that's usually somewhere like Asda where I have them both in the trolley. However, returning to work means that the childminder will have them Full-Time and will need a double stroller available until my toddler is more trustworthy. I thought about it a lot and had narrowed my choices down to a Silver Cross POP duo or a Maclaren Twin Techno. It came down to weight in the end, the POP is over a kilogram lighter than the Maclaren and so that was the choice made. I have really come to enjoy my single POP stroller so hoped that the Duo would be just as...

The Prince Of Tides : A glimpse into a tortured childhood

Advantages: Very well acted, absorbing, intense, shocking in parts
Disadvantages: A little mawkish at the end

...of the storyline away, but I'll speak a little about my own feelings on The Prince Of Tides. I watched this film on the recommendation of a friend, and I was a little apprehensive because my friend's and my own tastes in films, music etc. doesn't always coincide, but when she told me this was about delving into the history of a deeply dysfunctional family, I decided to give it a watch - at the time I was going through some counselling myself, dealing with a few of my own childhood issues, and I thought it may be something I could perhaps identify with. I settled alone one evening to watch The Prince Of Tides, and as the film rolled on and got into the storyline, my eyes were becoming more firmly glued to the screen. I found one or two parts of it touched a little too close for comfort on a couple of my own childhood experiences, but that was...

Princes Corned Beef

Advantages: Great tasting corned beef, good value for money
Disadvantages: High fat content

...I have always been a fan of corned beef, both used cold for sandwiches and cooked in dishes such as corned beef hash. However, I am quite fussy over the brand of corned beef that I use. I have tried various brands from the cheapest to the most expensive, but I always stick with Princes Corned Beef nowadays as it is the best I have found by far. ~The Product~ Princes corned beef is the tastiest corned beef on the market in my opinion. It is sold as a block, not sliced so you can slice it as thick as you need to yourself. The corned beef is tinned and comes complete with a key which opens the tin from the bottom. Princes corned beef is made with 100% beef and this comes across in the taste. It does have a salty taste to it, but not as bad as other brands. It is the least salty tasting corned beef I have found, which gives...

pop out for a pop tart

Advantages: Satisfys even the sweetest tooth
Disadvantages: You want more than one but then two becomes sickly.You're torn

...Yeah! I found reviews for probably the best tasting snack Kelloggs have ever made (excluding my mid-night cereal snack attack on cornflakes). Pop tarts are a wonderful treat to satisfy your sugar cravings when you're in need of something to tantilise your tastebubs. Basically, pop tarts consist of a chunky shortcrust pasty, roughly the same length as a piece of bread and a little less wide. They come in two flavours in this country: 'Strawberry Sensation' and 'Choco Mallow'. I'm reviewing strawberry, simply because I haven't had the chcoalate ones since I was a little and I prefer strawberry things over chocolate. The strawberry version then, is topped with a thick crunchy white icing and mult-colour sprinkles (just to add more sugar). The icing doesn't cover the whole pastry; it leave about 1cm from the edge.The real surprise lie...

My Prince!

Advantages: Every level provides a new adventure, great graphics.
Disadvantages: Adictive, You will get hooked

...When we purchased our Playstation it was not to get access to one of the biggest spectrums of games on the market but more to replace our broken down DVD player, we thought we may also enjoy the odd gaming evening. The game Prince of Persia ? Sands of Time was actually one of the games that came free with the pack. History The original Prince of Persia was created by Jordan Merchner in 1989 and sold more than 2 million copies, it was followed by Prince of Persia 3D which was a complete flop. Eventually in 2001 UbiSoft (The owners of the Prince of Persia name) convinced Merchner to take another shot at developing a sequel ? in September 2001, design work on the new game began. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was named The Best Action/Adventure Game of the Year at the E3 Game Critics Awards in 2002 when it was pre-view in its...

The Prince and Disbelief

Advantages: not too long, not too taxing
Disadvantages: obvious ending, romance and characters hard to believe in

...The American teen romance genre is one that is notoriously popular, and notoriously filled with below-par films. I'm afraid that, for me, The Prince and Me is no exception. The film stars Julia Stiles as Paige Morgan and Luke Mably as Eddie, the Prince of Denmark. As with all of these teenage romance 'comedies', there are a number of obstacles that from the very start you know will hinder the couple during their blossoming romance. In this case, it is that he is a Prince, moved to Wisconsin to firstly meet topless college girls, and secondly because he wants to escape the harassment of the Danish Press. For she, it is that she has her ambitions to become a doctor and 'help' in third-world countries, what a good soul. Having watched a number of her friends get married and give up their dreams to simply become housewives (does that...
