yamaha descant recorder

Advantages: easy to learn
Disadvantages: none

...I started of playing the descant recorder in primary school, (many years ago,) we started of with the old fashioned wooden ones, by the time I moved to secondary school , the wooden recorder had changed, it was now plastic and dark brown in colour. I was taught the descant hand recorder all through school, we were taught two ways to remember the notes the first set of notes was F - A -C - E, the way to remember this was the word "FACE". the second set of notes was E - G - B - D - F and the way to remember these notes was to remember a short rhymn, which is "every good boy deserves fun." There is about 4 or 5 other recorders, one of them being the treble, Im not sure about the rest of them as I never played them, I just stuck to the wee descant recorder. I think when people think of the descant hand recorder, they class...

Guinness World Record Breaker!

Advantages: Good variation of mini-games
Disadvantages: Can lose its appeal to adults quickly

...As a child I used to get a Guinness Book of Records every year for Christmas so I've always been quite interested in the whole idea of the records. When I saw that there was a Videogame dedicated to the records, I could not resist. The game begins by giving you the option to choose a character which you can customise in a way similar to that of the Miis. Clothes, hair colour, accessories and, of course, name. At this point, I must say, mine looks pretty damn cool. Once you have made the introductions you are straight into the action. There are around 40 mini-games available to play but you have to 'unlock' them by completing the basic games and earning enough to points to play the more advanced ones. The games are all fairly easy to play but sometimes the instructions are not explained clearly enough and you have to figure it out as...

Unusual teen flick-Empire Records

Advantages: Quirky, fun and great soundtrack
Disadvantages: Predictable and a little sappy on occasions

...I first watched Empire records as a teenager and thought it was one of the best films ever made. Now nostalgia can make me watch it again and again and although I have down-graded it somewhat from 'World's Greatest Movie', I still feel that this is a good film about young adult life and deserves to be a teen classic. The film is about a group of teenagers who work in an independent record store (called Empire Records) run by Joe. The story opens with one of the employees, Lucas, discovereidng that the store is not making enough money and may be sold to a chain called Music Town. To try and save the shop he takes the day's takings and tries to win gambling in Atlantic City but ends up losing it all. Empire Records now in serious danger of having to be sold to the chain, the film follows one day in the life of the store and it's employees...

Daily Record

Advantages: Frankie Boyle, Tam Cowan
Disadvantages: Jim McLean

...The Daily record is the only paper that I regularly read all the way through. The paper basically just prints daily news on what's happening mainly in the Britain, but also some news from the US and elsewhere. I focus mainly on the back sport pages, then go back to the front and work my way through the more amusing stories. The sports section is pretty good. Most of the information printed is generally correct, unlike the it's main rival... Hotline is included within the sports section. This can be frustrating to read as it is people who have phoned in who's often opinions are printed. Most of which are from people who don't really watch sport it seems. The Daily Record is home to my two favourite columnists - Tam Cowan and the recently recruited Frankie Boyle. My least favourite columnist being Jim McLean who I generally...

Review of Royal Mail Recorded Signed For 1st / 2nd Class

Recorded delivery - waste of money

Advantages: You can (sometimes) track the package on the net.
Disadvantages: Unreliable.

...Recently I've taken to selling some of my old junk on eBay. Being a bit of a cautious sort I didn't want to send them through the normal post - I'd rather know that they actually got there. So what to do? I could use Royal Mail's "Special Delivery" service for "guaranteed next morning delivery... blah, blah, blah..." No - too expensive. I only got a few quid for the items I'd sold. I can't see the sense in paying more for postage than I'll actually receive for the thing. What about "Recorded delivery" then? Hmmm... seems a reasonable option: a "standard postal service with signature and barcode scanning on delivery." Sounds just the ticket. What's more, I can apparently use the Royal Mail website to check that the item safely arrived at its destination. Off go four packages to various parts of the British Isles at a postal...

Guinness World Records 2009

Advantages: It is filled with brilliant information!
Disadvantages: The 3D glasses rip easily

...This was the first Guinness World Records book I ever owned. I must say it is actually quite good. DEGREE OF INFORMATION The amount of information in the book is very high, mainly because there are LOADS of world records out there. I think that it is layed out very well - it is easy on the eye, and there is enough information to explain what the world record is about, what happened, and who it was set by. I think that overall there is lots of info to explain every record. HOW INTERESTING WAS IT? This book was extremely interesting, (especially finding out the world's largest known prime number!) and I would have stayed in bed all night reading it if I hadn't have felt so tired... once you read 1 or 2 pages you have to read a few more - the explanations of the information are that interesting you cannot help but read as much...

Not Special Delivery and not by 9am

Advantages: Good for people who are at home all day.
Disadvantages: No answer calling depot, re-arrange delivery is ignored and all blame each other.

...I found a Special Delivery item was sent to me as standard by a ticket agent. I wasn't in because although Special Delivery letters are guaranteed to be there by 9am, it said 10:22 on the note. There's a 50/50 chance that I will be at home until 9am but never after 10am. I went online and arranged for the letter to go to my local postoffice by Saturday. I was given a receipt from the Royal Mail website clearly stating the postoffice and the date the letter would be there. All I had to do was take ID and sign at the PO. On the Saturday however, I was in my house and at 10am was amazed to see a delivery note apparently posted through my door at 08:57. I had been in all morning so they could not have knocked the door. What's worse is that this meant my letter was on a posties round, in a bag, rather than in my nearby post office...
